Retro Game Of The Week: Dragon’s Fury/Devil’s Crush (Mega Drive, PC Engine)

Dragon’s Fury is, simply put, the best video game pinball title of all time. Yeah, I said it. Read on to find out why I’m right.

Yokai Dochuki is an unusual retro platform game — but then, very few games send young children to literal hell that I can think of.

Mighty Bomb Jack is a mighty fine Famicom/NES classic that builds wonderfully on the original Bomb Jack — and it’s mighty hard too.

Gokujō Parodius isn’t a serious game — and that’s seriously the point, even though this flippant Parodius game is seriously good fun.

Choplifter is a classic game, and the Sega Master System version has aged beautifully — it’s a must play game for any retro game fan.

To celebrate Godzilla Minus One winning an Oscar, I decided to play Super Godzilla. Can I find *anything* positive to say about it?

Yume Penguin Monogatari is a game all about penguins. And sex. Also fat shaming. Truly, I can’t think of any retro game quite like it.

Super Wrestlemania is a disaster of a wrestling game, designed to wrestle money away from gamers and into LJN’s pockets.

Midnight Resistance is a classic run and gun arcade game — and its Sega Mega Drive conversion is rather nicely done.

Pirate Ship Higemaru is one of Capcom’s forgotten gems; a simple action game with a cute pirate twist that’s well worth playing today.
