Haven't had much of a chance to read/post here lately, so here's everything else I've worked on the past couple weeks

September 22, 2016 - Spy Hunter [NES]
September 20, 2016 - Mega Man Soccer
September 15, 2016 - Advance Wars
September 13, 2016 - Gundam Wing Endless Duel

[Ack]

Ha, I wondered if you were doing ok. You making it?

[Gunstar Green]

Spy Hunter was one of my favorite arcade games as a kid (as such it's still one of my favorites now), I still remember being super excited when I first saw it on the NES. I had to have that game.

I'm not a big fan of the port itself honestly, but it still holds a lot of nostalgic value for me.

Well, while we're at it...

Everything goes back to NBA Jam.

Jammit not only plays like Pit-Fighter, it sounds like it too.

I don't even know what to say about those weird basketball/dating sim Japan-only games. It reminds me of the Yu Yu Hakusho fighters.

But come on, Charles Barkley played basketball against Godzilla and won.



Also you missed the greatest basketball game of all time...

Yeah, I went there.

Actually, those cinematic basketball games are probably linked at the hip to Captain Tsubasa. I think we got one of those games as Tecmo World Cup Soccer.

Thanks for watching folks. Ack, I actually completely forgot about Chaos in the Windy City, but that game probably should get its own video. Especially since I wasted so much time with Mega Man Soccer.

But yeah, it's our busy season at work (I work in admissions at a university) and it's also allergy season so I'm constantly fighting off sinus infections and all those delightful symptoms. Just zero energy to do much internettin'.

[Ack]

Oh yeah? Which university are you working at?

[Sarge]

Well, it's really just a platformer with basketballs, so... no biggie?

I've heard it's a surprisingly passable game from some people, although I've never attempted to verify such claims.

I'm at UNM in Albuquerque

It's delightfully goofy, I like it. I love the notion that Jordan MUST keep his dribble throughout the game. Hey, someone could call him for traveling.
