Most Portable Tetris Ever
Tetris has been a game that has been passed down from generation to generation, being celebrated every year after the next. So many versions of the game have been released. There were the original computer versions which carried the idea in its earliest stages. Then there was the Game Boy version, which made the game immensely popular and an on-the-go necessity. The game had such a long history. Through new features, new ways to play, and entirely new gameplay experiences, both successful and unsuccessful, the Tetris franchise became one of the most successful video game franchises ever. Of course, for every groundbreaking new Tetris title, there had to be a few obscure, not-so-spectacular games. The version that I will be talking about today is a version released on the PocketStation.
Basically, the PocketStation was sort of like the VMU for the Dreamcast, but for the original PlayStation, if that clears anything up. It's like a memory card, but you can play games on it. The PocketStation version of Tetris, along with the PocketStation itself, is very obscure in North America and Europe, among other areas. This is because the PocketStation was only released in Japan. Although it was popular in Japan after its release in 1999, the game itself is still not too popular among the general public. I discovered it when I was searching new Tetris variants to play in the Retro Game Room. I've played the game enough times to get used to it, so I decided that I would be the first person to do a review on it. So, here's my review of Tetris for the PocketStation.
Graphics: 7/10
This game, compared to other titles for the PocketStation was average. Now, the PocketStation was that it wasn't as keen on graphics as the Game Boy Color, especially considering it could literally only display black and white, but it displayed more detailed objects than this game provides. It can show cartoon people at the most, and this game just lacks the detail. Then again, thos... Read the rest of this Review

Mastertest or Patience Test?
Super Mario 64 was a giant step forward for the Mario franchise into the world of 3D. As a launch title for the Nintendo 64 in 1996, this game became a favorite of many and was a cornerstone of the development of the N64 console. The game is remembered today as one of the most influential games for the N64, paving the way for many other 3D platformers for years to come. This review, however, is not about Super Mario 64, but about a ROM hack of the aforementioned game, known as Super Mario 64 - Bob Omb Richard Mastertest.
For those of you who don't know what a ROM hack is, in the realm of video gaming, it is basically changing the format and layout of a game in order to make it more functional or to make a whole new gaming experience. This game, however, is not more functional than the original, but it does provide a new experience. The new experience this game provides was not one I am willing to go through with again. The gameplay is extremely flawed, the graphics are lackluster, it's obscenely difficult, and the whole thing is just so buggy.
For this review, I will be comparing this game to the original Super Mario 64. Be advised: there are a lot more things this game does worse than the original. I an highly angered by this game, but I will try my best to maintain my composure and make a professional review. So, without further ado, let's dive into this mess I would like to call Super Mario 64 - Bob Omb Richard Mastertest.
Graphics: 2/10
The graphics and visual aesthetic of the worlds are so bleak not just compared to the original, but in general. The worlds in Super Mario 64 were so full of life and adventure that I enjoyed just running around in it and wasting time. In Bob Omb Richard Mastertest, the castle is almost exactly the same as the original, but the worlds themselves are tiny and dull. It's like sitting in a white room and just imagining things to be there, but just bei... Read the rest of this Review
