Friday PSN Problems And What I Played


Posted on 05/18/2015 at 07:31 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I loved DuckTales Remastered.  But then, I played DuckTales on the NES to death back in the day!

I think we're playing a different Galaga.  Here's my recently posted review of Galaga: Tekken 20th Anniversary Edition.  You've got to check it out!

Super Mario Bros. Review


Posted on 05/18/2015 at 07:29 PM | Filed Under Review

I never got into Super Mario Bros. as much as everyone else did.  I played it in an arcade long before I saw it on the NES.  And while I thought it was cool, I was perfectly happy playing Pengo on my Atari 5200 so I didn't get a NES until Zelda was out.  Don't get me wrong, i do like Mario games a lot.  It's just that my memorable NES games were more of the Capcom variety, such as Mega Man, DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, and Little Nemo. 

Totally unrelated, but you might be interested in this Galaga/Tekken mash up:

Mario's Puzzling Games

Aside from Tetris & Dr. Mario and the Japan-only NIntendo Puzzle Collection, Dr. Mario isn't on any compilation (unless you've played it on WarioWare).  it's just surprising to hear you've never played it since it's on nearly every Nintendo console out there.

Lots of Dead Ends. . . Then Minecraft FTW

I purposely stay away from Minecraft because I don't want to get too addicted to it.  I'm already bad enough with Animal Crossing!  Yesterday at the store I saw Minecraft LEGOs!

Still busy, but finding time to game

When I was in high school, I didn't like either of them.  But I might be more interested in Gilgamesh now that I know that Tower of Druaga was based on it.

When I was in high school in my English class we were studying 'tragic heroes' so we read both Gilgamesh and Beowulf.

You should try and play Yoshi's Cookie and Wario's Woods.  They're some of my favorites.

So you've read Gilgamesh, huh?  Have you ever played Tower of Druaga?  It was a classic Namco arcade game in Japan that was VERY LOOSELY based on the ancient epic story.

Retro Game of the Week: Super Adventure Island


Posted on 05/16/2015 at 11:54 AM | Filed Under Blogs

The reason why Master Higgins looks like he does is because he was modelled after one of Hudson's employees at the time named Takahashi.  Did you know that there was also an Adventure Island anime? 

I didn't like the SNES Adventure Island game as much, and i felt it was very challenging.  But I LOVED the music by Yuzo Koshiro. 

I have a retro-themed blog up now as well if you 'd like to read it.  Later!  --Cary
