When I was a duckling, my parents were responsible for buying all the games for the SNES. After all, my dad actually got it as some sort of gift from his workplace, and for some inexplicable reason, I was too “afraid” to play any of the games when I was especially young, meaning my parents…

Unforgettable: The Final Boss of Yoshi’s Island
In the recent-ish past, I wrote about my experiences playing Yoshi’s Island for the very first time, a really charming and unique game for the SNES. One of the biggest highlights for me was the fun and unique boss fights. While there were many memorable examples, the boss fight that stood out the most to…
It Only Took Me 26 Years to Get 101% in Donkey Kong Country
The title pretty much sums it up. I grew up with the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy on the SNES. I adore these games and have played them countless times over the years. And while I have managed to get 102% in the second game and 103% in the third game, motivated to do so…

Listmas 2019: The Duck’s Favorite Games to Play Around Christmastime
This week, we’re covering the games we enjoy playing around Christmastime, whether it be alone or with others. I must confess that I don’t have many games that I would specifically play around Christmas, so I’m instead going to largely focus on games that I have played around Christmas (regardless of how much fun was…
My “Deserted Island” Games – NES/SNES edition
After completing a lot of day dreaming and soul searching, I decided to combine the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) into one post for this installment of my “deserted games” series. Why? It’s certainly not because I didn’t love the SNES to death, because I did. But as fun as…
