Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. The second Game Boy Mario Land installment is criminally underappreciated and that has to stop. I’m here to tell you that you owe it to yourself to breeze through this strange non-Mushroom Kingdom where everything you know about Mario is turned upside-down.

New Super Mario Bros. 2: Catchy Coin Galore. In anticipation of the first truly new “wonderful” (hint) 2D Mario game in over a decade, it appeared like a good idea to revisit a few older entries in order to jog my memory as to why everyone—myself included—loves fooling around with that Italian plumber so much. I bought a copy of New Super Mario Bros. 2 (NSMB2) for my wife several years ago, just before the honorary state funeral of the 3DS, and never got around to trying it myself, he...| jefklakscodex.com

As an RPG fan but a match-three skeptic, I was long aware of this game but dismissed it as too casu...| jefklakscodex.com
Super Castlevania IV Is Still Super. It’s hard to believe that a game such as Super Castlevania IV—stuffed with amazing moments, superb Mode-7 graphical effects, and thrilling soundtrack—is already 32 years old. It’s Konami’s first attempt to boost the Castlevania genre from 8-bit to a 16-bit console, and most of the time, the choices made were spot on—and still are. From the moment you enter the first castle gates, until the drawbridge slowly closes and the Theme of Simon Belmont...| jefklakscodex.com
Albion: An Exotic Hodgepodge Soup of RPG Styles. For December’s Dos Game Club playthrough, we played Albion, a 1995 CD-ROM RPG from German studio Blue Byte you might know better from the superb Settlers series.
