* {{Sequelitis}}: He found that a lot of ''Creator/{{Nintendo}}'' games suffer from this.
** ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong3'' was the first of such. He found it to look more like a 2D-shooter than an actual platformer.

** The first Famicom adaptation of ''Anime/HokutoNoKen''. He said that it is just mindless fun to punch people and look at how awful the graphics and sound effects are.
** The video game Sherlock Holmes: Hakushaku Reijou Yuukai Jiken is this too. He mentioned that in a lot of ways the game is ahead of its time due to the fact that you can kill pedestrians, go through cities in a non-linear fashion (even if you have to pay money for the privilege) and gamble but that the bad controls and that the aspect of running around looking for clues in random spots is just not at all appealing. He ended up calling it "an unplayable relic of its era".

He found it especially infuriating because at that point in time there were already lots of good famicom games which were never released for the NES.

!Tropes used in his reviews
* AccentuateTheNegative: He does this a lot in Chronsega. To the point where he doesn't want to make any more negative commentary about Creator/{{Sega}} in Chrontendo episode 20 when he covered ''Phantasy Zone'' for the NES.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: When he reviewed ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' in Chrontendo episode 38, he said that Ryu Hayabusa is the worst ninja ever.

* BrokeTheRatingScale: He did this in Chrontendo episode 12. When the time arrived to review ''Super Monkey Daibouken'', he turned the colouring negative and played the music reversed.
* CallBack: Expect this to happen when he reviews a sequel of a game which he previously reviewed or when a video game company makes its next appearance.
* CaptainObvious: When he reviews a sequel, he's usually going to note that it's a sequel, just so that he can talk more about the franchise.
* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike: When he had to review ''Film/{{Akira}}'' in chrontendo episode 40 he noted that he found the show to be overrated.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: In chrontendo episode 42 he said that he had difficulties enjoying the NES version of Q*Bert. He said that it was probably the best port of Q*Bert around that time and perfectly acceptable by 1989 standards, but he said that he had difficulties to enjoy it because he was not habituated to the button lay-out.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Whenever there is something that was similar to another game he reviewed he will usually notice it and bring the subject up.
* EdutainmentShow: The whole purpose of it.
* FakeDifficulty: Some games he reviews have invisible items that you need to progress in the game. He said that he found it to be lazy programming and a pathetic excuse to not put much content in the game.
* FollowTheLeader: There is also Generation 16, who does the same thing but instead of reviewing games of the 8-bit generation, he reviews games of the 16-bit generation. He's actually liked by Chrontendo.
* FridgeBrilliance: He said that he would finish with doing the show in chrontendo episode 22 when he reviewed ''Foton The Ultimate Game On Planet Earth'' as it would serve to no purpose anymore, since ''Foton The Ultimate Game On Planet Earth'' is the ultimate game on planet Earth. He let the credits roll, only to later admit that it isn't the ultimate game on planet earth.
