G Darius


Posted on 04/15/2022 at 09:27 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I love G-Darius.  I have it on PSOne and played it a lot with my brother Jeff back then.  You can use the enemies you capture as screen clearing bombs.  I forget what button you push for that, though.

Randomly Rolled: Shinobi


Posted on 04/15/2022 at 09:21 PM | Filed Under Blogs

The original Shinobi kind of reminds me of Rolling Thunder with ninjas.  But I think Shinobi came first, so who copied who?  Namco or SEGA?  Actually they both copied each other on a lot of things. 

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Review

This is my 2nd favorite Zelda game.  The only one that beats it is Link's Awakening.

Knight Rider Review


Posted on 04/07/2022 at 08:21 AM | Filed Under Review

I loved the TV show as a kid, but I never played the NES game or really even heard of it much.

As a kid we all rode Big Wheels and I was jealous of the neighbor kid who had a Knight Rider Big Wheel that had a lever that let you do a spin brake!  But I was still pretty happy with my Dukes of Hazzard Big Wheel (man I'm aging myself).

Many years later, I got to review the Knight Rider LEGO Dimension set!  That was neat.

Episode 220: We Don't Have a Good Name For This


Posted on 04/06/2022 at 08:39 AM | Filed Under Feature

I remember the McDonald's Mac Tonight Moon Man!  In fact, when I was a kid, one year I wanted to be that for Halloween.  But the costume would've been too hard to make, so I went with a California Raisin instead since all that took was a garbage bag.  See that's how much of a hold advertising mascot characters had on us 80s kids.  I think I'm about as old as you guys are, maybe a little older.

Speaking of California Raisins, the same ad agency who made them also did The Noid.  They are still around today, but under a different name.  You know what they do now?  The modern day M&M's characters!

You know, I was in college in Austin from 1995 to 1999 and I remember going to Gamefellas stores in shopping malls all the time back then.  So if you were there during that time, we might've talked to each other and not even known it!  I also was writing for The Dallas Morning News back then, and for my reviews I needed release dates.  Since the Internet was still in its infancy, sometimes I would call stores to get release dates so you might've helped a beginner gaming journalist!  So thanks!  I also called EB Games for the same reason, but my roommate would always tease me that I just called and visited that store because I had a crush on the lady who worked there.  I denied that, but for some reason I still remember her name (Tess), so maybe I did.

I reviewed Chrono Cross for the newspaper back then.  I think it should've been it's own game rather than a Chrono Trigger sequel.  It felt like a cleverly disguised card game.  I Am Setsune feels more like a Chrono Trigger sequel than that.  Only thing that interests me about the Chrono Cross remaster is the included Radical Dreamers game.  I wish I could just buy that seperately, though.

Right now I'm playing the opposite of Elden Ring, which is Kirby and the Forgotten Land!

Tetris wins the cage match for no reason other than I said so.  I reviewed Chex Quest for the newspaper back then, too.  Would Mario Golf beat it?  Well it depends on which one.  If it's Toadstool Tour on the GameCube, then yeah.  

I hope you folks get a chance to listen to my podcast, too!  Just do a search for Pizza Pixel Podcast and you'll find it.  We just recorded another episode and I hope my brother Jeff gets to edit and post it soon.  At least before Mother's Day.  Our topic for this one is games our parents liked to play, and we even have our mom on the show as a guest!  So please pray for us that it gets posted soon!  --Cary

March 2022 Recap

I don't think the game is like Mario Galaxy, but it is a pretty straightforward Kirby game.  Just in 3-D this time.

Easter Sunday Brunch Reviews

Yeah believe it or not, whether it be the games or other products, I like the ghost monsters just as much, if not more than, Pac-Man himself!

March 2022 Recap

I FINALLY beat The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles!  Right on time, too, as the next day my copy of Kirby and the Forgotten Land came in, so that's what I've been playing mostly now.

If you can't get Pac-Man to move than you may want to check your JoyCon settings.  Those JoyCons kind of suck, by the way.

You have to play Pac-Man 99 a little differently than other Pac-Man games.  Concentrate on eating the bonus fruit that causes the ghost icons to appear on the sides of the maze.  then eat those to make ghost chains, then eat a power pellet and try to eat all the ghost chains you've made to send them to other players.  Only eat dots if you have to make more power pellets and fruit appear.

The Kirby game is called Kirby and the Forgotten Land.  I have the full game and just beat the main story and am doing the extra stuff now.  It has a good amount of replay value.

I got the first Mario vs. Rabbids game but didn't like it, so I'll skip out on the sequel.
