The Uninvited NES game review

     The Uninvited NES game, which I actually played on PlayStation 5 as part of an anthology,  is interesting as it is a point-and-click adventure game with light horror elements. That's a rarity for the NES. The only game I know of besides that which fits that niche genre is Shadowgate. 

    This game is spooky, for sure, and has quite disturbing deaths often described in gruesome detail. And what the music lacks in variety, it makes up for it in sheer ominous and haunting vibes that enhance the creepy mood of this game. It looks great, too, especially for an NES game. And the story is tense, the environment foreboding. 

    Unfortunately,  the Uninvited falls apart a bit in its gameplay as many of its puzzles are non-intuitive and cryptic. It's very hard to beat without a guide. And that takes away a lot of the fun.

     The Uninvited is probably one of the least family-friendly games on the system. It's not that scary for adults, but its deaths are quite disturbing and graphic. It contains frightening images and deals with some dark themes such as demon possession. It's probably best for preteens and older.

     I like this game's uniqueness and spooky charm, but it's a very flawed adventure game in my opinion. I give it a B, an 8 out of 10.

Disney's Lady and the Tramp Review

     This beautiful and charming film,  Lady and the Tramp, is yet another absolute masterpiece.     In my opinion this might be the best dog-centric animated film of all time and is an amazingly fun and endearing time with charming characters especially the leads, the adorable and sweet Lady and the rambunctious yet good-hearted Tramp.      The spaghetti/ Bella Nota segment deserves special mention as it's absolutely iconic and heartwarming.       It is mostly family-friendly but there is a scene that briefly implies the death of a dog in the pound as one of the characters says the dog "is taking the long walk" which might be too upsetting to tender-hearted young children.       Overall,  this is one of Disney's most adorable,  heartwarming,  and frankly best films so far and another 10 out of 10.

Revised Tier List of Animated Disney Films from 1937 to 1968

   I added S+ Tier and I am redoing the original Tier list for 1937-1968. Also have changed the score on some films. S+ Pinnochio 10 Sleeping Beauty 10 Jungle Book 10 Lady and the Tramp 10 Bambi 10-I think this was in a slightly lower position last time. Its a masterpiece though in every way and one of Disney's most heartwarming stories. 101 Dalmatians 10 Cinderella 10 Peter Pan 10-I think I ranked this very slightly higher last time. I love it and still think its S+ Tier but the prejudice against native Americans is very offensive and noticeable.  Snow White 10 Fantasia 10-rank it higher than last time, its a 10 and S+. Yes some viewers won't like it but its an absolute masterpiece in quality. S tier Alice in Wonderland-10 ranking it higher. Yeah its not the most cohesive story but its so fun and unique,  I love it too much for it to be less than 10 and an S tier film A tier Dumbo-9.5 I think this is slightly higher than last time. I hate the racism but I love the h...

Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame review

      Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the darkest, most emotional and heartfelt films they ever made and its an absolute masterpiece and in my opinion one of their very best.      As one would expect by now its obviously top notch both in the quality of its visuals and even more so in its soundtrack,  which is amazing and rivals Lion King and Beauty and the Beast in its sheer awesomeness.      But beyond that its a bittersweet and emotional drama with great characters. The earnest and kind-hearted Quasimodo is extremely loveable and this makes the audience even more sympathetic to his plight.     Esmerelda is such a bold, confident, and extraordinarily sweet woman and perhaps one of my favorite leading ladies in a Disney film.       Phoebus, the noble captain of the guard, is actually one of the funniest characters on the film with his dry sense of humor.      The gargoyles are funny and cha...
