Ive maratoned the whole series in the past two (maybe three) weeks and I really enjoyed how dedicated you were to covering every Nes/Famicom game (Along w/ others like thee turbographics). <br /><br />Of course long breaks are always understandable, given the crap I'm sure you've run into during your treck through the drek ('Course the gems and classics probably make the travel worth while, right?). Anyways you've got yourself a new fan. <br /><br />On a different note, I enoy reading the beer blogs you post as well. Jeff J.

This is the one of him wearing the red Astro Boy-ish books, the orange mitts, the long "Jughead" nose and the Mickey Mouse-like "pie eyes".<br />http://www.pacman.com/en/wp-content/themes/PACMAN/images/footer_pacman.gif<br /><br />Of course when re-interpreted by western distributors of the game, you often ended up with designs like this hideous beast!<br />http://cdn3.spong.com/pack/p/a/pacman187293l/_-Pac-Man-Atari-400-800-XL-XE-_.jpg<br /><br />Of course when they did Wreck-it Ralph, they ultimately went with the look we all probably associated far more simply out of that simplicity of the first game (somehow it made me have more respect for the look of Q*bert and his pals if only because they were just liket hey always were in the game).<br />http://25.media.tumblr.com/7db236aa46d51fd6cb674f6154cd77ff/tumblr_mhtpv3zytP1rmd8jko1_400.gifChris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-81343360730032113512013-05-27T07:55:20.992-07:002013-05-27T07:55:20.992-07:00Huzzah, you actually managed to squeeze in Gunhed ...Huzzah, you actually managed to squeeze in Gunhed this episode.<br /><br />I was not sure whether there would be room for one of the system's defining games. Not to mention the one which certainly spearheaded the system's retrospective raison d'etre among modern gamers.<br /><br />Personally though of the shooters I've played on the system I consider the likes of CD Denjin and Super Star Soldier to be more fun. That is mainly because they are so damn hard.<br /><br />Super Star Soldier is damn near impossible once you get to the last stage. That boss rush before the final boss is designed by the deuce.<br /><br />I guess in a sense Gunhed has a much more balanced difficulty, but one tends to remember great adversity more fondly in hindsight.Kamiboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070558290345696566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-71644558424707575732013-05-25T14:57:53.308-07:002013-05-25T14:57:53.308-07:00Knurek, I'm using Ootake for the PC Engine emu...Knurek, I'm using Ootake for the PC Engine emulation.

That's the price I pay for being so slow on the uptake, I suppose.<br /><br />True story: I actually imported Tengai Makyo when it was first released (still have that original copy somewhere, complete with the now morbidly discolored and decaying foam divider/insert). I still only read/spoke a little Japanese at the time, but I loved it anyway. I also somehow convinced a couple of my stoner metalhead friends that since it was on CD and called "Far East of Eden", that it was somehow related to "South of Heaven" and actually featured stuff like Slayer and Death as part of the game soundtrack. They were pretty disappointed when it finally arrived, to say the least. I'm not sure why I thought that was so funny... I guess that's just the kind of jerk I was back then. In any case, aside from this and Ys, having the CD add-on back then actually felt like a bit of a waste, even to me.<br /><br />Re Helm: I actually completely disagree with that. I feel that is was the 16 bit era when things started getting too slick and soulless, what with that whole shooter glut, all the generic "Lippy the Lion" type mascot platformers and those awful SFII clones. The 8-bit stuff had much more atmosphere and raw innovation to me. I realize that opinion probably puts me in a small minority these days, but I guess I can't help it.

Blazing Lasers is pretty awesome yes, yet a bit too long (it actually puts me in some sort of trance playing it because it's very easy for people who play modern shoot em ups) and I actually liked even the bad games on this episode, besides a tose golf game. I'm starting to get a hold of what makes the pc engine so fun, it's that even the bad games are charming in their quirky way, whereas on the NES it doesn't feel the same, there's a lot of soulless titles.
