Tecmo Super Bowl II: Special Edition
Genre: Sports
Developer: Tecmo
Year: 1994
Rating: 7
Review: Rather than be content to upgrade the previous installment, Tecmo decided to overhaul the game itself. It remains an arcade version of football with no penalties, but the gameplay became visually less appealing and also less intuitive.

Year: 1993
Rating: 10
Review: The original version of this game for the NES wound up the #1 game on my countdown. I’ve spent more hours of my life playing that game than any other. However, this sequel for the Super NES comes in fairly close behind it.

Review: A quite competent, nay improved, port of the original version of this classic game. Still quite limited in scope, but also simple and remains a nice diversion today.

Rating: 8
Review: One of the first SNES games I played. My brother worked at a video store and was able to bring home a system and games every once in a while (before he bought me the system in 1994).

Review: I’ve spent a lot of time gushing about this game here. I ranked it my second favorite RPG I’ve played and my friend nibbish and I counted down the Top 20 moments. So this review will have a bit of a different flavor.

Man, I get giddy every time I think about this game. In a world naturally lacking in any original ideas, I can honestly say I have never played anything else like Framed.
Smart Phone Games Worth Playing: Sometimes You Die

Genre: Platformer
Platform: iOS, Android
Creator: Philipp Stollenmayer
Everything you need to know about this platformer can be learned from that picture. You control that block on the left with the arrow. On this particular screen, you have to get that block in the pit on the right. But you can’t actually jump that far. How do you get there?
