I've always wanted to play Defender of the Crown but could never get a hold of a copy. 

The voices in Wizard of Wor are kind of outrageous. 

Defender's alien menace jigger around so much. It's infuriating. 

I thought about that with Satan's Hollow. Even more so as there are demon heads in it that shoot fire at you. On the second screen you have to shoot down Satan who appears as a tiny red cherub. 

I got a refund from taxes this year and I contemplated getting a Switch. I just can't do it right now though. Not until I'm back at work full time again. 

I keep getting ones just a year off. At least compared to what it says in the game collection I have. I still like using wiki though because it's not full of ads and is quick to load, being mostly text. That's the kind of database I want to use. 

I'm going to pick up a Yakuza game when I need one of those retro arcade games to play for my retro fix. Weird? Yep. But I'll play Yakuza too and I've always wanted to. 

When the power went out I realized suddenly that all my food I brought to Mark's place neede a microwave. Got kind of nervous for a moment there. 

I love the character designs in Odin's Sphere. Really out there. 

I can feel the anxiety creeping in on me right now. I've got to just keep to a plan. Hope it'll turn out all right. 

Oh yea, slot 9. I seem to remember doing level 99 Bishops. All magic user and cleric spells. Mark and I just laid waste with Tiltowaits every encounter. Ha!

The NES version changes the name Bishop to Wizard. 

I ran through all of them and set mine to like 6 or something. The camera shifts a little upward when the ball is at the top of the table. I don't do that for all of them though. Some tables are just different. 

I'm having a really tough time with the Destroyer because I have to hit targets on the left side and for some reason I'm not too good on that side. I'm working on it though. 

I played it probably the same time you did. I think I got that cheat on the Apple IIc version. You need a Bishop to identify a knife and you suddenly get a million XP or something like that. I also had the Mac Plus version of the game later on and a friend of mine hacked it and was able to get all the best equipment to start with. That was fun. 

You have to play so carefully all the time. I remember now that on the NES version you can shut the game down while holding the select button to prevent it from saving. That way you can erase a bad adventure. I didn't use any of that stuff this time though. I wasn't going for a long play anyway.
