Thief: The Dark Project – PC
If this game didn’t invent the modern stealth genre, it certainly revolutionized it. As Garrett, the master thief, your mission is to take as many valuables as you can lay your sneaky fingers on, and with a small arsenal of tricks and tools of the trade, you’re free to go about exploring and tackling every level in your own style. A masterwork of emergent gameplay and featuring an unforgettable story, Thief: The Dark Project will teach you to hate marble floors and well-lit areas in no time.

Back To The Future- NES
I really hope this review doesn’t end up killing me. My first game for Retroary will be a retro game most of you will wish I wouldn’t have reminded you of. Hope you have more fun reading this than I did actually playing the game.
-
The Final Fantasy Legend – Game Boy
The Final Fantasy Legend may or may not be an actual Final Fantasy game, but that doesn’t take away from its enjoyability. Plot and characters are almost nonexistent, and the gameplay can be head-scratching at times, but underneath the surface there’s an epic adventure waiting to be discovered.
-
One Must Fall: 2097 – PC
One Must Fall: 2097 portrays a future where giant robots fight for the entertainment of the masses! Train your pilot, upgrade your robot, and with enough skill, you can reduce the other combatants to scrap metal and claim the tournament title for yourself! With excellent gameplay, secrets galore, and a badass soundtrack, it’s the best old-school IBM-compatible fighting game you’ve never heard of.

Final Fantasy VI – SNES

-
Final Fantasy V – SNES
Final Fantasy V has one of the most addicting battle systems in the series. While that alone makes it worth playing, the lack luster plot and bland characters make this a slightly better than average entry in the iconic franchise.
-
The Apogee Shareware Disc – PC
Boy, it’s that time, isn’t it? After reviewing every single game I remembered from my old shareware disc, I take a look at the entire Apogee Shareware Disc itself and tell how I feel it worked both as a series of fun games and as a marketing tool! With first acts from many graphically-appealing and fun to play run-and-gun, first-person shooter, and flight sim titles, the disc may be long gone, but its memory definitely lives on!
-
Final Fantasy IV – SNES
Final Fantasy IV is safe as far as gameplay, but the story is fast paced and exciting, if not on the dramatic side. If you’re feeling nostalgic, this is the perfect title to pop in.
-
Earthbound – SNES
While Earthbound is a game that needs to be played to be truly appreciated, a lot can be said about this bizarre, groundbreaking SNES RPG. Now let’s join Ness on his journey and find out what this game has to offer!
-
Final Fantasy IX – PlayStation
Final Fantasy IX may be the most underrated in the series. Unfortunate timing downplayed the initial release, but if you’ve been putting this one off, do yourself a favor and pick up a PS1 controller. You’ll be glad you did.
