Forgotten Gaming Mascots #19: Jersey Devil


Posted on 02/23/2021 at 07:46 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I reviewed this for The Dallas Morning News back in the day.  I remember the opening cinamatic being kind of funny, but the rest of the game was pretty bland as far as I can remember.  The only 3-D platformers on the PlayStation I really liked were Spyro, Tail Concerto, and the Mega Man Legends series, but really 3-D platforming on the PlsyStaiton didn't get N64 caliber until Ape Escape came along (also one of my favorites).  And that was nearly five years after the system launched!

I remember seeing Plotting/Flipull in many arcades when puzzlers like Tetris and Klax were big back then.

Rumor has it that Star Fox 64 was made with ideas Nintendo stole from Argonaut.

I didn't think the first Mortal Kombat movie was THAT bad.  I never watched the cartoon.

I've seen the Tomb Raider movies.  Only thing I remember now about the Angelina Jolie ones is that there is one scene where she punches a shark in the nose, and it runs away going "yipe yipe yipe!"  Well, OK, the shark didn't go "yipe, yipe, yipe" in the movie, but it did that in my head.

I watched the new Tomb Raider movie fairly recently on television.  It was OK I guess, but the only thing I remember about it now is that the lady who played Lara Croft must've been eating her spinach.

Forgotten Gaming Mascots #18: Croc

I played a little bit of Croc on a PSOne demo disc (remember those?) and I thought the controls were horrible, so I didn't mess with it after that.  I've watched a lot of videos where people have fond memories of that game, though.

The story about Croc orginally being a Yoshi game is pretty interesting.  Other things I've read indicate that Nintendo screwed over Argonaut in some ways, which wouldn't surprise me.

Captain N's Games of the Decade: Expansion Pass #11


Posted on 02/20/2021 at 08:41 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I really liked this game on the Wii U.  I always said the Captain Toad sections deserved their own game, and look what happened!  I'm not sure yet if I'll buy the game again on Switch, even though I am very curious about Bowser's Fury.  I do have the two cat amiibo figures, though.

I remember this game being pretty popular when I was a kid.  It was in nearly every arcade for a while.  I kind of liked it.  Even the Atari 2600 version was pretty good.  I liked that you had a force field.

BaD 15: Civilization VI

My brothers really like those Civilization games.

BaD #14: Operation Wolf & Operation Thunderbolt

Yeah Area 51 was in a lot of places.  I even saw it in grocery stores!

To be fair, I doubt too many people would notice that Operation Wolf arcade machine in the movie, much less care about its release date.

Forgotten Gaming Mascots #17: Polygon Man

I thought it was kind of cool that this obscure thing was the boss in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.  After I saw it I looked it up and I was like, "Oh yeah, I kind of remember that in ads...I think."  I didn't think PlayStation All-Stars was actually THAT bad.  I mean, it's no Smash Bros, but I still had fun with it.
