Finally digging through all the Steam spares I’ve accumulated over the years and giving it some mileage while also churning out video fodder for the fine YouTube folks. Here’s an oldie, but goodie… yes.

All the video game reviews
Review #1386 – Star Wars: The Arcade Game (Atari 8-Bit)
Maybe I should have went with this first… or chose better footage. oh well.
Review #1385 – Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi – Death Star Battle (Atari 8-Bit)
There’s no reason needed to enjoy a decent Star Wars video game… except to avoid the mediocre ones.
Review #1384 – Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge (Genesis)
The last of our Arcade’s Revenge videos… and a sudden reminder of something that should have been evident.
And the 453 day streak continues… fuck you, crashing out in the middle of crunch time.
Review #1383 – Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge (Game Boy)
Arcade’s Revenge is not quite as sweet on Game Boy, but yields a surprise that isn’t that impressive in the proper context… still, it’s a mild win in an otherwise less than stellar note.
Review #1382 – Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge (Super NES)
We celebrate the end of Spooky Season with a week-long trip to Murderworld.
Review #1381 – Bram Stoker’s Dracula (Super NES)
We revisit Sony’s take on Coppola’s take on Dracula by reviewing the lesser SNES version of the same game we played on Sega Genesis… which turned out not quite as dire as I was lead to believing. Still, why play this when Super Castlevania IV exists on the same platform?
Review #1380 – Fester’s Quest (NES)
Technical issues, last minute edits… such is the folly of doing yet another video on everyone’s favorite punching bag, Fester’s Quest.
To be honest, I’m not quite sure how I feel about this one. I didn’t quite like playing the game all that much and yet didn’t dislike it as much as I feared. There’s ideas that I like and yet the execution is rubbish… typical licensed fare this is not, but no hidden gem, either. Eh.
So if things go according to plan, no more NES games this year. I’m saving those for next year and that’s when some notable games on the bucket list finally get the spotlight. In the meantime, we’ve got other crap from other consoles to visit. What fun.
Review #1379 – Metal Fighter (NES)
A crippling injury couldn’t stop me from uploading this piece of business… okay, it’s a sprained ankle that might heal in a couple days, but still… I had to get out of bed to post this.
Better late than never… the battle continues, I guess.
Review #1378 – Buzz Bombers (Intellivision)
Actually, you know what? Screw it. You get it early.
This was literally cooked up in less than an hour. Roughly 10-15 minutes worth of quick gameplay to get a feel, coming up with words in about half the time, doing the dub, assembling the piece in Vegas, rendering and uploading all this morning before I spot off to the rest of the day. It’s not perfect, but it’s… well, you know.
