UA2 is a game carried over from last year. Possibly two years. I really enjoyed the first one, but obviously I moved on after several hours of playing UA2. I picked up right where I left off, and before I knew it the game was over.

Both UA and UA2 get pretty damned boring due to how repetitive the game is, which is why I stopped playing it in the first place. The game looks gorgeous, all your favorite goodies and baddies are there, but it gets dull.

[Ack]

Now back to NES games, Luke?

Now back to NES games, Luke?

Like a book I am.

I've been giving Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! a lot of beatings lately. I still can't knock the guy out, but I'd say three times out of nine I win the decision. Kind of dumb for me not to use passwords, but I love going through the entire game and the cut scenes which gives me a bit of a break.

Sandman is the only jerk who gives me twitchy dodge fingers. Everyone does it at some point in the game; your opponent isn't even moving and you dodge for no reason and end up receiving a fist to the face. Hate when I do that.

Next up on the list is Bad Street Brawler.

10- Forklift Truck-Simulator - PC

Did you like the forklifting part in Shenmue? Well, they made a game just for you!

Forklift Truck Simulator has you moving crates and other heavy objects in and out of warehouses. There are six missions to complete and most have you on a time limit. Although, the time limit is 30 minutes... I was usually done with my tasks in about eight minutes. I felt like they could have limited the time a bit more to add some pressure to the player.

The novelty of driving a forklift wears off by about the third mission and there is very little variety of objectives. Moving and placing boxes gets kind of tedious after a while.

Glad I don't work in a warehouse!

After you complete the missions there's a free-play mode in which you can... move boxes... There's very little incentive to keep playing missions; much less the free-play mode.

Overall, an okay game. Good for the novelty of adding strange games to my collection.

Midgets best learn not to wear mustaches!

Have fun, Luke. It's enjoyable watching you blaze through these NES games. Helps to keep me on my SNES kick.

Wait...Power Glove? Mattel?

I'm hoping a regular nes controller or the U-Force will suffice.

[prfsnl_gmr]

Man...when I was a kid, I thought the U-Force was awesome...but, then again, I was a pretty stupid kid.

[BurningDoom]

Very fun campaign with slick production values, I enjoyed it. And best of all, Nathan Fillon was a voice-actor for one of the main characters! Still not quite as good as the main trilogy, though.

Man...when I was a kid, I thought the U-Force was awesome...but, then again, I was a pretty stupid kid.

I got a cib U-Force for freebies a few years ago...and it's actually pretty responsive. There is something very, very 80's about it (even if it may have been manufactured in the 90's). Sometimes I think about lugging it around in my brief case and pretending it is a laptop during business meetings.

Nathan Fillon was a voice-actor for one of the main characters!

Sold. So surprised I had no clue he voiced a Halo character. Nathan is a genuinely righteous dude.
