Welp… we didn’t end things as intended, but on the other hand, aren’t you glad that we’re closing out 2025 on a slightly less miserable note than if we had done Ecclesia?
Anyway, here’s what a potential DS review would look like; old-school, rough looking camcorder shots with low audio quality. If you would like more of that, then I openly question your sanity… but we’ll see how it goes regardless.
Wait just a minute, King. This isn’t Portrait Of Ruin. What the hell is this?
Well, I wish that I could say that it’s a swerve and you all fell for it, but no, technical issues prompted me to put the kibosh on the Dominus leftovers and replace them with some dirty and quick. Hence, Part 1 of this endeavor, which covers every wannabe angry reviewer’s low-hanging fruit once they saw ericmansuper’s original video from 19 years ago… I could have held this off for another year and marked as a 20th anniversary celebration, but no, VEGAS has to take a fart during the editing process. Thanks, Shanoa.
Anyway, this one’s a late night special. Another one’s coming later today.
Blame it on last minute X-Mas needs and delayed medical treatments taking longer than usual… as well as a much needed nap to catch up… but we got this out later than never… or is it better than nothing? In any event, we begin our descent into Dominus with the dawning of sorrows.
Had planned for this to be a review of Tiger Heli, but a change of plans (primarily behind the scenes as I delegate my limited holiday time off in the next coming weeks) forced me to switch things up at the last minute and pull out this Rampage review that I had done back in September as a lark.
And yes, there will be more Atari 7800 reviews in 2026. I still have a couple reviews in the can that requires some more varied (non-sucky) footage to fill the screen. And with the promise of more 7800 games on the horizon from modern Atari, I think the system will see a significant presence in the future… though probably not as strong as it had been represented in 2025.
Next week is the Holiday run, which will include the Castlevania DS reviews, which means the sooner I can get these out of the way, the sooner I can put Order Of Ecclesia in my rearview window where it belongs.
Is this game worth the triple digit prices it commands? The answer may not shock you in the slightest… and yes, we’re dipping in the emulation pool again. At this point, I figured “why not?” It’s not like I’m going to pay 800+ for a Froggo cart these days. That thrilled died after getting Symphony on Saturn.
The next review will be up on Saturday, as I’ve been reconsidering the video slate for the rest of the year. The updated schedule should be up by Friday, but until then, enjoy this Froggo excursion.
Yeah, good luck trying to play this one on an actual machine unless you got one of them gimmick cartridges or can afford to mortgage your house for a copy on eBay. Good grief…
Believe it or not, we may have played this before.
I’m in a generous mood today… and also, cramps woke me up in the middle of the night… So you’re getting this one early. Will you be kung fu fighting tonight? Does anyone even kung fu fight anymore? The world will neither know nor care.
You know what could have made this better? Ninjas… just saying.
From the people who brought you Planet Smashers… comes a game that’s nothing like Planet Smashers… that’s actually a good thing when you think about it.
