Alex Kidd in Miracle World 05-22-25 09:41 PM |
Alex Kidd: In miracle World: RoshamBULL! Oh poor stray orphan boy, Alex Kidd, sadly stuck to forever live in the past, probably never to get into the limelight ever again. If one could even say he was in the limelight to begin with. But any who, I've always kinda had a bit of a soft spot for Alex Kidd, he's a cute little oddity even from a time where it seems like every game was some kind of oddity. The boys over at Sega released Alex Kidd In Miracle World was released for the Sega Genesis/Master System on November 1st, 1986. years before they would make Sonic, so while its not directly supposed to compete with Mario, in a way Alex Kidd was their answer to Mario, even if not directly, as a result I feel like people might of looked at it as Mario's competitor and they probably didn't like it as much. But you know, maybe there was something in this game that a lot of people (myself included) missed out on, so lets put on our punching gloves and magic ring thingie and play some Roshambol and see how good Alex Kidd is. {Story/Difficulty} I wont say that the story of this game is amazing or anything like that but it has a bit of charm, but at the same time i never knew what the story was when i was younger. I just kinda played it and thought up whatever i could for the plot! But it kinda feels a bit like Ristar's plot a bit, i dunno if I'm stretching by saying that, but they are slightly similar i guess. Except in Ristar you're the kid of who is the hero of the game, but you never play as him, as he gets kidnapped and you have to go save him. While in this game you find out before hand that you're the son of the king who was defeated in a kidnap attempt of prince igul and princess Lora, the king was named King Thunder. and the big baddie was named Janken the Great, who apparently turned people to stone as well. the kingdom was named Radaxian. To make it to Janken you must be at up his lackeys and find artifacts and then go defeat Janken and take back the crown from him! Hopefully that will unpetrif... Read the rest of this Review |
Castlevania 05-21-25 09:15 PM |
Castlevania: The Curse of Draculas nose What shall one do when Dracula barrows the family lawn mower and doesn't bring it back? Well you go and stab him with a stake that's what! And on September 26th, 1986 you could on the NES thanks to the guys over at Konami. Not to be mistaken with the game that came out about a month later on the MSX2 by the name of Vampire Killer, which is just basically the same game but on a more inferior system that also no one owned. But that's a different story for a different day, for a different game, on a different system. So lets get back to this story for this game on this console....... on this day. Lets attack all this classic horror monsters and tropes with our whips as we take on the original Castlevania. {Story/Difficulty} When it comes to the story of the Casltevania series, I rather enjoy the overarching story, that is pretty missing in this game as its the first game in the series, and I highly doubt they had any kinda crazy plot ideas from the later games in mind in this game. So the plot is literally just making your way to Dracula and giving him a few whips for being a bad boy! You play as a guy named Simon who is a Belmont, a family we don't know much about them in this game so I'll just say: They are the family who have been defeating Dracula when he comes back once every hundered years and they got a cool whip to do it with! They are also said to not really be liked by the rest of the world even though they are the reason why Dracula hasn't taken over the world! But yeah that's literally the whole plot, Simon makes it to the end and takes out Dracula and you get a wild ending credits with a whole bunch of funny alias's based off old horror film icons. So lets just go on from there as there is literally nothing else to say about the story, so lets get onto the difficulty. And this game is hard!!! Like pretty hard, Really just think of all the hard stuff that could be in a old video game like this and chances are Castlevania either perfected that t... Read the rest of this Review |
Devil May Cry 05-19-25 08:46 PM |
Devil May Cry: Leon cant save you here! Something something Resident Evil, something something Hookman build, something something juggling enemies, something something about grumble grumble. And that's how Devil May Cry was made, but you knew that already didn't you? If not then you probably work for Mundus or something crazy like that! But any who back in the day when developers knew they just couldn't let a good game build go to waste they decided to take a clunky version of Resident Evil 4 and make it into a wonderful Capcom franchise that was almost snuffed out before it ever began! One could say the first snuffing was the almost drop of the old RE build, but they saw something in it (probably the super fun juggling mechanics) and they released the original Devil May Cry for the Playstation 2 on August 23rd, 2001. So way before we ever played the actual Resident Evil 4 we played Resident Evil 4! But anyways we've had many other DMC and DMC like games to have came out since then, we even finally got that Resident Evil 4 i keep mentioning, so is the original Devil May Cry still worth picking up or are those devils actually crying now? Lets find out and rock baby! So if this was a RE game at one point in time does that mean that this game looks like one as well? Well kinda in some ways I would indeed say so. While its not really graphics and would more so fall under gameplay or something, the fixed camera angles are for sure a old Resident Evil thing, even years after this game there was still Resident Evil games with fixed camera angles. But another thing that this game has that works really well with the fixed camera angles is the pre-rendered backgrounds, really next to Resident Evil 2, or some other game that I cant think of (Parasite Eves backgrounds look great as well) I think this game has some of my favorite pre-rendered backgrounds! And they work so well with some of the ominous camera angles that you get that make this game feel a bit like a horror game. I really don't think any of th... Read the rest of this Review |
Pong 05-17-25 10:16 PM |
Pong: The Eighth Wonder of the World When those planes was shooting at the top of the Atari state building and the paddle finally fell it really was E.T. that killed the beast. But that's for a different time and this is for the time of the Pong, when the Pong still roamed the earth far and wide. Really this is just going to me be doing a whole lot of yapping about Pong as not very much can be said about Pong then ya hit the dot left to right and right to make your opponent miss. But the original Pong Arcade Machine first came out around November 29th, 1972 by the good folks over at Atari. Later on in 1975-ish it was released on the Atari 2600. And there is only half a million different 'plug-in and play'-esce consoles that have came out with just solely Pong on it and nothing else. For sure around the time of the original Pong and Atari 2600. Really Pong is the base of so many different kinds of games. Like Call of Duty? Squint enough and its literally just a group of Pong Paddles shooting out Pong balls! OK that's a huge extreme, but to a leaser extreme, just look at stuff like Brick Breaker, or even something like Space Invader that for sure had someone looking at Pong and taking that concept to a next extreme. And its such a wonder to think about how we went from Pong to stuff like Call of Duty and it just took a lot of will power and maybe a bit of spit on some duct tape, but that elbow grease also helped out a lot, but we FOR SURE couldn't of gotten there without blast processing. But I really feel like the influence of Pong back then really went past the old 0's and 1's that the game was made of. It really started to make people think of a world beyond the real world. Beyond what we can touch, beyond what can be filmed and put to screen. Into the digital vast endless space, into a whole new land where we can make the decisions of victory or loss with just the push of some buttons (or the twist of the knobs on some random systems!) So it's a wonder that this game can be so simple but people still... Read the rest of this Review |
Legend of Zelda, The 05-16-25 10:21 PM |
The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the first We all have those PTSD moments from our childhood where we are almost mauled to death by a huge dog in the wonders area that is the backyard. But not everyone takes all that PTSD and puts it into a video game! Well technically neither did Miyamoto until Links Awakening. But at least for the first Legend of Zelda has that imaginative backyard idea brought into a game. And obviously its in the form of the February 21st, 1986 NES game of the same name. I dunno how top down action against knights in a dungeon and a very very gray map is very reminiscent of someones childhood but it does. So lets be a group of therapist and take a look at this moving fairly colorful ink blot and see just how the Nintendo used to think! {Story/Difficulty} Ill just start out by saying that I'm not giving you the super mega all over arcing storyline of zelda 1. But more along the lines of how the story of Zelda 1 is told in Zelda 1. But with less broken English like the games opening has! So I'm not reallu going to put spoilers cuz this game is really just Mario squared. So the backstory is that a pig dude named Gannon is causing a big ruckus in the land of Hyrule and has smashed a piece of the Triforce, being the Triforce of Wisdom, which probably means everyone is probably from Idiocracy in this game. But any who after he did that he kinda sorta kidnapped the Legend herself Zelda and now its up to main lead himself Link to get back all 8 pieces of the broken Triforce and recuse Princess Zelda herself and save the day! And really that's the whole plot to the game. Like you do all that and shot a Silver Arrow into Gannon to be able to finish the final blow on him. Which kinda becomes a staple in the series but the way its done in this game is a bit tacked on I feel. There's the little stuff like all the random people you talk to, to 'learn' stuff like that, but at the same time nothing really plot important happens. 'Cept maybe about how its 'Dangerous to go alone' or 'Dodongo... Read the rest of this Review |
