Just a few words on how to run the game. This game cannot run on ePSXe, you have to use the PCSX emulator to get it to work. Also you would need the Japanese bios scph5500 instead of the commonplace scph1001 in order to display the text properly.

Not to be dismissed as a cheap Disney cash-in, this is a suprisingly well-made game that still holds up even today. An action/platformer at it's core, you'll find plenty of replayability in seeking out as much treasure as possible. From the jungle to the moon, it's a great ride from start to finish!

Using the unique stereoscopic 3D element of the Virtual Boy, T&E Soft took our favourite Russian classic and put a 3D spin on it. 3D-Tetris adds the underused Z-axis to the mix and boggles your mind as you manipulated tetrominoes in height, width and now depth. Guiding lines and ghost shapes will help ...

This is a port of the classic arcade hit, Pac-Man, for the Atari 2600. This game has been rated very poorly for having such bad graphics and worse gameplay than the original arcade version. Nevertheless, the mission remains the same: move Pac-Man around to collect the dots (lines?!) before getting hit ...

This is one annoying game, I have to say. I mean, to select items, you have to walk left and right! Wow. The sound effects are pretty standard for the time, but still, they just sound like scraping noises. I know it's NES, but man. The graphics are okay for the time, but some things are a little under ...

Well, It's the one FF that i haven't played becuse it was only released in Japan. Sadly, this is in japanese xD so it's a little hard to read, hoping I'd find an english version, but sadly no.The game itself...is...long. Lots of grinding and without a doubt one of the most grind demanding FF's out there. ...

In Armored Core, you become a Raven, a militaristic bounty hunter that uses a machine called an Armored Core.  Armored Cores are almost like human-pilored Transformers.  But these are not toys, these are real weapons of war. OK, the main cool thing about the game is the Armored Core itself.  ...

I know what you're thinking: "Megaman on the Genesis?! I'M IN!" Not so fast, there. While this is a collection of the first three Megaman games on the Genesis, you're much better off playing the originals on the NES. This game may have better visuals, byt you'll notice that the backgrounds look almost ...

A Capcom classic, this game embodies the old side-scrollers of the 80's and 90's. The graphics are a bit low-quality compared to the arcade version, which is to be expected since the console is 8-bit and the year it was released was very early for the NES. The music is very catchy and I could listen ...
