Donkey BaD - Diddy Kong Racing


Posted on 02/09/2019 at 11:27 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I skipped it. I already had Mario Kart. And for me, it summed up everything that was wrong with the N64. The console was glutted with racing games beyond Mario Kart and they were pushing a kart-racing game that Rare had seemingly thrown together in a few months as their big game of the Christmas season. Nintendo's PR department was in full-on damage control mode over the game droughts and the huge success of Final Fantasy VII on PS1. Even the big boss, Hiroshi Yamauchi, was taking potshots at FFVII. With N64 games getting canned right and left in development hell, I could already see that Earthbound 64/Mother 3 was vaporware. So I bought a PS1 a few months later.

BaD #9: Captain N's Most Wanted PS4 Games of 2019

As a huge fan of Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds is definitely an attention-grabber for me.

Dragon Warrior Review


Posted on 02/09/2019 at 10:46 AM | Filed Under Review

Dragon Warrior was my first exposure to console RPGs, along with the NES version of Ultima III. Its reminded me a bit of Alternate Reality, an Atari 8-bit RPG, though that game was in first-person mode for exploring as well as fighting. I'm still a fan of the series.

BaD 5: Still Alive

Capcom considered the "real" RE3 to be Code: Veronica. RE3 was originally a spinoff, and was retitled as RE3 to satisfy an exclusivity agreement with Sony. Given that it was released when the PS1 was on its way out, and in the same time frame as the Dreamcast and bigger games like Final Fantasy VIII, RE3 kind of got lost in the shuffle.

Mysteries of the BaD - Pitfall 2

I played the Adventurer's Edition of Pitfall II on Atari 8-bit. The second cavern was brutal.

BaD Move - Final Fantasy Tactics


Posted on 02/09/2019 at 09:35 AM | Filed Under Blogs

FFT was the game that got me into tactical games. I did play Desert Commander on NES (which looked very much like Advance Wars) and a huge tactical game about the Napoleonic Wars, but FFT was a gateway drug to games like Disgaea, Sakura Wars, and Valkyria Chronicles. I did a BaD on FFTA a couple years ago.

I have Scramble on PS1, and I played the Atari 8-bit version of Super Cobra. There was a really good knockoff of Scramble on the TRS-80 called Penetrator.

This is a great game. I'm playing it now. Between this, Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4, Xenoblade Chronicles, plus the upcoming releases of Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, and hopefully Dragon Quest XI S, the Switch is becoming an RPG and arcade dream machine.

The remaster has content that wasn't in the 360 version. Namco did that with a lot of its 360 titles. They made them limited exclusives in exchange for money from Microsoft, then released better versions on PS3 once the exclusivity window was up.

I've dabbled in streaming but it's been over a year since I did. I've never shown my face on YouTube.

I guess they don't have Kinect for Xbox anymore?
