Review – 70s-style Robot Anime: Geppy-X
Get ready for some grand theme songs belted out against a backdrop of robot carnage. Geppy-X reaches into the 70s to pluck out a fond parody. Now you don't need four discs to fit all that anime.

Review – King’s Field (1994)
It's time to make a pilgrimage back to 1994 to see where FromSoftware started off. Long before Demon's Souls there was King's Field, a dungeon crawler about exploring a very strange choice of location for a graveyard.

Review – Medal of Honor (PS1)
Medal of Honor had humble enough beginnings, but it was the flash point for the entire WW2 subgenre of FPS. Anyone who lived through the aughts remembers that there was a new one about every two weeks. But let's go back to those humble beginnings.

Review – A Cat’s Tale of Love and Friendship: Jingle Cats – On a Mission of Love
Do you like the Jingle Cats? If so, why? Well, regardless, I might have the game for you. It's about the Jingle Cats, it's from Japan, and it's pretty strange. It is probably not what you'd expect from a band of musical cats.

Review – Milano’s Odd Job Collection
I've been hitting a lot of oddball Japanese titles lately, all of which remained exclusive to their home territory. Suprise! Milano's Odd Job Collection is a PS1 title from 1999 that you can actually get here, in the year 2026. Fully localized!

Review – KuruKuru MaruMaru
Did I just dream it? I guess not. KuruKuru MaruMaru is a real game, it's just maybe an unexpected one. Looking at the art style, would you believe it's a game about getting your driver's license? Too bad it's only in Japanese.

Review – Ganbare Goemon: Uchū Kaizoku Akogingu
Now that I have your attention, let's talk about Goemon's first visit to the OG PlayStation. Uchū Kaizoku Akogingu certainly looks the part. It's got that weird style. But something in its heart is just not right.

Review – Duke Nukem: Time to Kill
A spin-off of the Duke Nukem series, maybe. Time to Kill lifts heavily from Tomb Raider to create a game that isn't terrible, but has learned all the wrong lessons from its feminine counterpart.

Review – Suikoden I HD
I have no nostalgia for Suikoden. I grew up hearing it was a good game (or, really, its sequel), so I was very intrigued at the idea of jumping into an HD remaster. The Suikoden games have quite the legacy behind them (even more so if you follow Aidan Moher on social media), but I never knew how much of…

Review – Clock Tower: Rewind
It's nice to have an official release of Clock Tower. I was hyped, but slept on its initial re-release. Having circled back around, I can finally scratch this classic Japanese horror title off my list. I really hate writing these excerpts because I don't know what information will get you to click.
