How Is Your SNES Gaming Going?

[fastbilly1]

Friday was my wife's last day of work for the year, so she decided she wanted to party like it was 1993. So we sat on the floor and played SNES games on one of the CRTs. Many rounds of Battle Tetris, Mario Kart, Super Bomberman 5, and Tetris Attack, then we hit a snag when Knights of the Round would not boot. Then Battle Jockey and the next dozen games. I figured the console had died, but then Mario World booted without issue. So the next four hours were spent playing Mario World and drinking peppermint schnaps hot chocolate.

Some time when I am off I am going to clean all the carts and the console. I figure it is just a dirty connector.

What does your wife do? Sounds like a teacher's schedule. My last day is tomorrow.

Tried out Battle Clash today, and I'm surprised how well it plays. I'll have to pick up its sequel sometime!

Still Battling along with Equinox but making little progress with it, also I have my eye on playing Gods again sometime soon.

I played Equinox some years ago.
Never did beat it, but got really far, I think.
Dying in one hit made it overly difficult in places (if memory serves), but it's a decent puzzle/adventure game.
I guess it was a sequel of sorts to Solstice. At least Equinox saves your progress.

Will come back to it one day...

There's a third entry in that "series" called Altered Space: A 3-D Alien Adventure for Game Boy. I find all those games brutally hard. I like isometric viewpoints when it's a clicky WPRG or whatever... but for a precision-based puzzle-platformer... Oh man is it rough.

Playing through the Rushing Beat series, one of the most bizarre localization decisions I've ever come across is leaving the music from Rushing Beat Shura completely out of The Peace Keepers. It's just ambient noise. WTF were they thinking?? I know you can turn it on in the options menu, but still, what was the logic there?

It's best not to ask what was going on with some of those decisions. As much as I enjoy them, there are a lot of oddities in those three. Still, they're worth checking out by all beat 'em up fans.

The way I saw that game treated on the RetroBit Generations (as well as the rest of the series) makes me sad. All three games need more love from SNES fans.

The power compels you! Well that and I finally met a fan of Gods here.

The first Rushing Beat is as generic as it gets, but the other two are fun. That berserker mode that activates when you get hit too often is the best
