I remember a lot of those Infocom games, but I never played them much.  Maybe I was just a little too young, or maybe I just preferred point and click adventures that had a bit more visual pizazz.  

I do remember when games came with all sorts of stuff in the box.  In particular, my favorite point and click adventure game, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, came with a lot of stuff.  Since the main character was a tabloid reporter, the game came with an actual tabloid, and each article hid a clue to solve a puzzle in the game.  There was also a passport book and that's how they fought piracy because if you entered the password at the airport incorrectly too many times, you'd get sent to jail and the game would be over.  Another later game I had, Lemmings 2: The Tribes, came with a pretty lengthy storybook!

I just watched the new Dr. Strange movie on Disney+.  That movie made no sense.  At least the one eyed octopus from Marvel vs. Capcom 2 made an appearance.  I wish they'd make a Marvel vs. Capcom movie.  At least I'd know who some of the characters are.

I have no idea how to even start making games for phones!

Oh yeah, can't wait for that Klonoa collection!

I usually get to review pretty much nearly every LEGO game out there, but not this one for some reason.  So I was originally going to wait and ask for it for my birthday.  But my brother Jeff has moved in with me for a while, so I might get it sooner so we can play it together like old times.  We did that this week with TMNT: Shredder's Revenge!

Yeah when I get the LEGO Star Wars games, I'm getting it on PS4 simply because the Switch's JoyCons are crap and I like trophies.

I just finished writing my review of TMNT: Shredder's Revenge.  It'll post in a couple of weeks.  It's a very good game.

As much as I bash on FF7, they did have some pretty cool summons.  I liked the moogle riding the chocobo, Shiva just sitting there, and Bahamut out in space.  

I got the Knights of the Round summon because my college roommate's girlfriend (now wife), loves horses but back then the Chocobo racing mini-game was the closest thing we had to a horse racing game at the time.  So after I was done adventuring in FF7, she'd take the controller and do the Chocobo thing and eventually got me that summon!

Fatal Fury wins because I've never heard of Evil Zone.

I had so much fun at SNK's booth at E3's past.  One year I got a Fatal Fury cap and poster of Mai Shiranui signed by one of SNK's character designers, and another year I played SNK vs.Capcom: Card Fighters Clash against other SNK employees.

Oh yeah, I had that Garfield: His 9 Lives book, too.  Great stuff.  You would never think now that there was that level of creativity.  That 9 Lives book also caused the whole Garfield book collection to be moved out of the kids section of the Library of Congress.

Yeah I remember Heathcliff, too.  Even watched the cartoon.  It was crap, but it was entertaining crap.

Thanks for listening!

I always call Dr. Strange "Dr. Weird" for some reason.
