In 1993, point and click adventures continued to be popular on PC. PC hardware at the time lent itself well to this type of game, and critics positively welcomed them. Simon the Sorcerer featured a humorous storyline with elements that parodied popular fantasy novels such as The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Rapunzel. Critics lov...
Western critics liked Japanese role-playing games by this time, and Secret of Mana proved a worthy investment of gaming time on the SNES for gamers of the era. Secret of Mana was an action-RPG, but one that featured an interesting storyline and focus on combat. While Secret of Mana is designed as a single player epic adventure, other players could ...
The Sega Genesis was known for its fast processor. Its Motorola made processor made it possible for games like Sonic the Hedgehog to exist. Gunstar Heroes is fast run-and-gun game that took of advantage of Sega’s unique 16-bit hardware. The game played from a similar side scrolling perspective to the Contra series. It was both challenging and fast-...
Based on Disney’s successful 1992 movie carrying the same name, Aladdin was expected to be a massive commercial success. Even then, its final tally of 4 million units sold was unexpectedly high. Aladdin had achieved numbers that most Sega Genesis games could only dream about. There were a slew of reasons beyond its popular appeal (thanks to the lic...
Ah, Star Fox! One of my favorite Nintendo 64 games. The franchise, however, got its start on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Star Fox was a massive technical showcase for Nintendo. Way before 3-D gaming was a thing on affordable mainstream home consoles, Nintendo utilized the Super FX chip (which was embedded on SNES cartridges) in order t...
The only reason for Lunar not going on to become as a popular a series as Final Fantasy is its confinement to an add-on that almost no one owned on the west. The Sega CD was one of the earliest Sega blunders that eventually led to the company’s downfall. Lunar: The Silver Star’s greatness and downfall came as a result of the Sega CD hardware. Lunar...
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, also known as the greatest Game Boy game that I have ever played, deserves its spot on this list. Were it not for the technical limitations of the Game Boy, LA could have easily been my favorite 2-D Zelda ever over the mighty A Link to the Past. While Link’s Awakening started life as a Gameboy port of A Link t...
Mario games tend to be great, always. But Super Mario All Stars was more than great, it was an essential package for anyone even vaguely interested in gaming. The collection gave a 16-bit coat of paint to the first three NES Super Mario Bros games, while also featuring “The Lost Levels” a Mario game that was never released on the west due to its di...
The PC was a popular platform for point and click adventures. While the genre isn’t too exciting for players looking for fun gameplay and hours of addictive play, those looking for the best storylines and writing found these titles to be vastly superior to anything on home consoles. Gabriel Knight was thrilling horror adventure than genuinely scare...
LucasArts had plenty of PC hits in the 1990s. Once again we find one of their games receiving incredible critical acclaim, and not surprisingly, Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle is another point-and-click adventure (albeit in two dimensions) that delighted PC gamers of the time. Players were able to switch between three main protagonists at will...
