DTM Archives Collection – Power Rangers Time Force Game Reviews

Twenty-five years ago, the very first episode of Power Rangers Time Force aired on Fox Kids. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Power Rangers’ ninth season, here’s a compilation of all three console/handheld video game reviews that I’ve done. There’s also a Windows version that’s just a collection of minigames and presumably far too costly to purchase a copy as well as presumably a pain in the ass to try and run on today’s computer systems. PC Master Race my ass.

Review #1277 – Valis I (Genesis)

We return to where it all began… except not really because this is a remake. We’re also breaking from the Valis Collection grips by playing this on the Antstream streaming service, which actually held up quite nicely until the last stage playthrough where it eventually shat the bed. If nothing else, I’m getting some mileage out of this Antstream thing and hopefully, it continues to be a thing for the future, especially as it relates to this hobby of mine.

State Of The Blog – February 2026

How has your 2026 been so far? Mine has been… a thing that happened.

If you’re expecting much in the way of actual content… well, there’re video reviews, Nitro musings, and maybe a couple other things. This past month has (mostly) been dedicated to some minor tweaks and fixed in the background that have been LONG overdue and with most of that (almost) out of the way, I can start on prepping some new material for the future.

Further details after the break, but TLDR version for you folks in a hurry; expect more stuff to come along in March.

On The 31st Day… The One-Year Anniversary Of My NOT Watching Section 31

It is January 31st of the year 2026… and we’re celebrating the one year anniversary of my first declaration that I have NOT watched the Star Trek: Section 31 streaming video motion picture film starring Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh. The fact that I managed a full year without watching that film should be a godsend… or is it god’s end?

Fuck you, RedLetterMedia for playing that clip during your re:view, which remains the only extensive exposure to Section 31 that I’ve had up to this point… and yes, I continue to not watch the movie. I suspect that sooner or later, the disk will show up on my doorstep and I’ll have to give it a watch.

Not because it’s my duty or anything, fuck no.

But rather I need to watch this thing once before I can use the disc as a drink coaster… maybe it’ll work out better than Fighting Force 2 did all those years ago.

Review #1276 – Valis III (PC Engine)

Delayed? Was that what I said? Scratch that. You can have this one early. I’m in a good mood.

When someone tells that you’ve played an inferior version of a good game and after playing the “real” game, your only reaction is meh. It’s not a knock of Valis III, which remains the best of the Valis games in my opinion and there are some nice improvements here and there… but otherwise, it’s the same game I’ve played before but faster. Works for me.

Valis III Delayed A Bit… But Disney Afternoon Finally Hits Switch Next Month

Source: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/01/disney-afternoon-collection-finally-comes-to-switch-1-and-2-includes-two-additional-games

Yeah, the Valis III video is going to be a bit delayed… but should be up tonight. If nothing else, it’ll be a far short wait than Switch owners who were looking forward to the Disney Afternoon Collection’s eventual release that never came… until now… and by now, I mean next month.

And… AND… it’ll come with TWO additional games; Goof Troop and Bonkers, both SNES games. How ’bout that?

So… does that mean the pre-existing Steam release will see an update? Or do I have to double dip?

WCW Monday Nitro (Jan. 29th, 1996) – The One With The Shoe

This is the show with the Ric Flair/Hulk Hogan match where Ric Flair beats Hogan with Elizabeth’s shoe. Yes, a bunch of run-ins and a really stupid finish took place, but let’s not bury the lede here: after four years across two promotions, Flair finally gets a rare win over the Hulkster. That’s pretty much the only thing worth mentioning on this show.

Well, the Road Warriors make their return and there’s some further squabbling between Kevin Sullivan and Brian Pillman also featured Arn Anderson, who left his glock at home and instead issues a challenge.

Not much to this one. Next.

Review #1275 – Valis II (PC Engine)

Hello. It’s the debut of Valis on PC Engine, even though it’s the sequel to a prior game that we’ve looked at that’s actually a remake of an earlier computer game. Are we confused yet? Try not to think too hard about this one.

Friday’s review will be on Valis III for PC Engine and then next week, it’ll be a couple Mega Drive ports and the Famicom version of Valis I, which I make no reservations of not looking forward to playing. It might actually be more distressful to play than Order Of Ecclesia.
