Food Fight (rev 3)	The controls are analog, but I noticed that they aren't as responsive as they once were. There is a way to adjust sensitivity in MAME options, but it takes a lot of fiddling around in order to get it right.
Suikan Pipe	This is a bootleg of Gimmick! for NES. It is also called "Pipe V".
39 in 1 MAME bootleg	There's a barcade near me called "B-Side Liquor Lounge" that has a handful of old-school cabinets that use this bootleg set. The Galaga machine gives you the choice between Galaga and Galpus . All the others are set to their respective cabinets.
Eyes (Digitrex Techstar)	I'm sure LSD had NOTHING to do with the development of this game.
Pringles	come on in and purchase those chips come enjoy these crisps
Super Mario World (Nintendo Super System)	Laggy...
Pac-Land	Actually, this is NOT the original. The original is under "Pac-Land (World)". This must be a bootleg of the TG16 version.
Smash T.V. (rev 8.00)	How the heck can people get screenshots if the game is unplayable?
Pole Position	Missing files :/
Super Mario Advance 2 - Super Mario World	This is the first Mario game I ever owned. I still have it, too.

Michael Jackson\'s Moonwalker (World, FD1094+8751 317-0159) 11-05-15 07:06 AM	Let's climb the tree! Climb the tree! Hello. It has been a while since I last did a review. I have been pretty busy with school and stuff like that. One of these days I will go through my other reviews and fix spelling, grammar, etc, but for the time being, I dug up this review that was started almost 2 years ago and was only half-finished.* * * Moonwalker? More like KIDSTALKER. WAHAHAHAHA!             Okay, I got my Michael Jackson joke out of the way, but hey, I couldn’t resist. “Moonwalker”, while a good game, is a joke in and of itself. You’re Michael Jackson, and you SAVE CHILDREN. That’s the whole premise. How does Michael you save them, you may ask? By shooting lightning out of his hands, moonwalking, utilizing “dance magic”, and turning into a robot. Hoo boy.             Now before I begin this review, NO, I don’t hate Michael Jackson. His music is beyond awesome and his dance moves were unbelievable. Unfortunately, after his “Dangerous” album, his career and personal life seemed to have taken a very strange turn for the worse. Keep in mind that this game was released before he got in big trouble with the law. With that said, let’s move onto the review.             “Moonwalker” was released in arcades in 1990 by SEGA and ported to a few home consoles and computers that same year. The game is based off of the final third of the movie “Moonwalker”, while the rest of the movie is pretty much a bunch of high-quality music videos featuring songs from his 1987 album “Bad”. The plot from this part of the movie involves Michael and his children friends (insert punch line here) stumble upon the lair of evil Mr. Big (Joe Pesci), who plans to get everyone on the Earth addicted to drugs. Michael’s cover is blown, and is living life... Read the rest of this Review
DJ Boy (set 1) 08-06-13 06:33 PM	"What a trip!" indeed.             “DJ Boy” is certainly a “special” game to say the least. It’s one of those arcade games that was relatively popular in Japan, but never caught on with Western audiences. It just kind of…well, existed, before fading into obscurity after being overshadowed by more popular games from better-known developers. The game then remains in the shadows of the past for about 15 years until someone happens to stumble upon it years later and then tells the Internet all about it. Coming from Japan, it’s no great surprise that “DJ Boy” as offbeat as it is, which is probably why it never caught on outside Glorious Nippon. Released in 1989 by Kaneko, “DJ Boy” tries combines everything that was supposedly popular in American cities at the time, such as roller skating, fluorescent clothing, poofy hair, hip-hop, breakdancing, child abuse, and juvenile delinquency. In this review, I will break my tradition of reviewing everything in categories (graphics, sound, addictiveness, etc.), and instead just tell you all about it straight up.             So what’s the plot? Well, your character(s)’ boom box is stolen and you must get it back. The two playable characters, Bob and Tom, work together in this co-op beat-‘em-up to get it back. Doing this involves travelling on roller skates while beating up other children on roller skates; some of them appear to be older than you and have an uncanny school-bully look to them, while others appear to be 4-year-olds dressed up like 1950s teenagers. At the end of each stage you’ll fight bosses such as a homeless man that turns into a male stripper, a 1980s hair metal band, policemen dressed in questionable attire, and - I’m not kidding here – an overweight, stereotypical African-American woman who farts a lot. “Eeek! How racially insensitive!”... Read the rest of this Review
Mr. Do's Castle (set 1) 05-15-13 06:41 PM	Herp-derp de-Do! If you are a true gamer, you have at least asked yourself this question once: “Why is it that some classic video games have some of the most obscure sequels?” Let’s take the American version of “Super Mario Bros. 2” for example.  It may seem similar in gameplay at first, yet it’s completely different from the original game. As a matter of fact, it IS a completely different game; it’s “Doki Doki Panic!” with swapped sprites and slightly different music. The original “Super Mario Bros. 2” from Japan was deemed too hard for Western audiences, so Nintendo decided to give us something completely different. Now, let us turn our attention to Universal (the video game manufacturer, not the movie studio) gave us a similar experience 30 years ago with “Mr. Do’s Castle”.   First, a little history: Universal, the creator of the first Mr. Do game, was working on a game called “Knights vs. Unicorns”, which was pretty much an updated version of their 1980 video game “Space Panic”. However, Universal’s American branch approached their Japanese counterpart and told them to change “Knights vs. Unicorns” into a Mr. Do game, due to the success of the first game. Thus, “Mr. Do’s Castle” was born.   “Mr. Do’s Castle” was released in 1983, one year after its predecessor, “Mr. Do!”, was released. Like its predecessor, it became quite popular, receiving more than a dozen home ports throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Unlike the first game, where you dig around underground collecting cherries and through a magic ball at monsters, you must instead guard your castle from an army of fuzzy “unicorns” by using a magic hammer to drop blocks on their heads.   Graphics: 9 “Mr. Do’s Castle” is definitely a step up from its predecessor in the graphics department. Mr. Do is stil... Read the rest of this Review
Mr. Do! 03-25-13 08:52 AM	Can't tell if it's pronounced "dew" or "doe"... ...maybe it's pronounced "D'OH!", but who cares. It's "Mr. Do!", a little clown with a magic ball that gathers cherries and digs around underground while avoiding monsters, falling Yellow Delicious apples, and evil letters that spell the word "EXTRA". "Mr. Do!" was released in December of 1982, a few months after Namco's "Dig Dug" came out. Although this game looks remarkably similar to "Dig Dug", it has its differences. It was very popular upon its release, receiving several home ports, reboots, and even 3 arcade sequels, although each sequel was less successful than the last.   Graphics: 8 Definitely on the higher-end when comparing this game to others that were out at the time. I'd say the graphics are comparable to "Donkey Kong Jr.". The gameplay graphics are bold and colorful. Mr. Do wears a red clown outfit with white polka-dots and blue shoes.  The monsters you must face look more cute than they should, but don’t sell them short. The main enemy of the game appears to be some sort of red dinosaur-dragon thing that chases you and digs around trying to reach you (I have no idea what they are, so I’ll just call the dragon-dinosaur things). Two other enemies you must deal with are walking letters from the word “EXTRA”, and purple ghosts that spawn when the special food item at the center of the maze is obtained. The ghosts in particular look like the offspring of Pac-Man and Pinky the ghost, with bulging eyes and big mouths that eat the apples scattered around the maze. The “dirt” in the maze is no ordinary dirt. It’s quite colorful, actually, with designs ranging from green bricks to blue-and purple stripes. The tunnels you leave as you dig around are black, which contrast great with the dirt so you can easily see where you have already been and also backtrack in necessary (hint: you move faster through the already-made tunnels than you do when you dig around). The game has mini-cutscenes, and graphically,... Read the rest of this Review
Bubbles 03-06-13 02:44 PM	If only washing dishes were this entertaining... When you think of a game involving bubbles, you might think of something along the lines of "Puzzle Bobble" or "Bust A Move", or even "Bubble Bobble" and its sequels. "Bubbles" is nothing like any of those games. As a matter of fact, it's very unique, special even. It's got an interesting premise, and that premise is to clean out your kitchen sink. Sound boring? Actually, it really isn't. The game itself is not that bad. It's not great, but it's not bad. The only way to describe it overall is it's slightly better than "meh". The only problem is I can't seem to find a lot to say about this game, but I'll try my best. "Bubbles" is an action-puzzle game released for arcades in 1982 by Williams Electronics who, during the '80s and '90s, were very well-known for their pinball tables and certain video games such as "Sinistar", "Robotron", and "Smash T.V.". This game was far from being a hit, however. It wasn't very popular and it wasn't ported to home video game consoles (that I know of, anyways) It received mixed reviews upon its release. At least it got its own spot on the arcade-competition game show "Starcade" the same year it was released.  The object of the game is to control a bubble (appropriately named "Bubbles") and move him around the kitchen sink as you clean up crumbs, ants, and grease. Consuming these cause you to grow bigger and bigger over time, which causes Bubbles to get eyes and even a creepy smile. You must dodge razor blades, which kill you no matter what, and sponges and brushes, which can pop you if you are too small (in this case, being too small means Bubbles is NOT smiling), but you can bump them if you are big enough, however doing so will cause you to become slightly smaller. Large cockroaches can crawl out of the drain and move around the sink. They are invincible unless you grab the small Cleaning Lady who ALSO comes out of the drain. Doing so will give you a broom, which you can kill cockroaches with. The dra... Read the rest of this Review
