Review #018 – Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (Atari 2600)

(2025 Update: New video upload.)

The review is a bit of an anomaly, as the video footage is a couple years old, the text review used as the basis for the script was written last year, and the audio being a couple months old when I initially put the review together. But still, it went together rather nicely.

By the way, exactly  one year ago, I posted my first video review for Track & Field for the NES. Pure coincidence, I swear.

Review #016 – Super Mario All-Stars: Limited Edition (Wii)

(2025 Update: Replaced the old Youtube embed with a new video upload. Originally a 2-part video, it has been unified as one single long video.)

Cheating here a bit… on the one hand, it’s a new product released in 2010. On the other hand, it’s a straight repackage of a Super Nintendo game from 1993 with no modifications whatsoever. But in any case, here we are.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone.

Review #015 – Star Wars Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire (PSX)

(2025 Update: Replaced the old Youtube embed with a slightly less old Dailymotion embed that was eventually replaced with a newer than new Youtube upload that I’m shocked made it through in one piece. Featuring a new title card and some considerable edits here and there, including the restoration of an old intro from when this review was originally intended as a Halloween upload. Despite these changes, it’s still the same old review that is outdated and superseded by a new one in 2012.)

Review #013 – Pole Position II (Atari 7800)

(2025 Update: New video upload with new title card and slight edits.)

When Nintendo brought their Famicom to America, they packaged it with Super Mario Bros. When Atari brought their 7800 system out of mothballs a year later, they packaged it with Pole Position II… an arcade title from 1982… guess which system fared better.
