Crime Wave for PC?

BBBA

Good selections this time around. The only song that I really don't care for is Change. Never been a Deftones fan.

I loved Shining in the Darkness. The music, the cutsey graphics, it was just a fun game! Challenging, and arguably "unfair" too. I remember at one point I was fighting some mandrakes, and one of them "screamed" and instantly killed my ENTIRE party. Yup, cheap shite. Still, great game despite the flaws. Oh, and the CD soundtrack is totally worth tracking down, but it's harder to find than the game --

Everyone says that SNES has better RPGs, but it really depends on what you're into. The popular Square RPGs on SNES are more like easy interactive soap operas that are more about the story. Genesis has hardcore RPGs such as Phantasy Star II and Shining in the Darkness that are brutally difficult to complete. The kind of games that you need to map out with pen and paper.

Rally Bike is finished! The first loop is not too hard, but the second one is tough. The 9th race is particular, I got to several times before the winning run. It's not enough to just survive, you have to really speed through it to finish high enough to advance. Even though I beat the game before in 2021, it's still a huge pain. Amusingly, the 10th and final race is the only one to not require any particular placement because the game ends after it regardless.

Congrats. I tried and tried and tried and couldn't even beat the first race. Or maybe it was the second race. Having to start over every time you crash is ridiculous.

I'm not even a fan of the genre at all, but I loved the original SimCity when I was younger. It helps that it's so simple and accessible. 9/10

I played the PC version.

One life Qix is brutal. I'm trying to get something half decent before posting anything.

Oh yeah, Swamp Thing has a kind of charm to it that makes it all the more heart breaking as that charm starts slowly slipping away and the frustration all comes boiling to the surface. What a great-idea-turned-horrible-missed-opportunity.

Swamp Thing made by the same people who did all the Simpsons games and Ghostbusters II on the NES. It's my understanding that most of these have the same lousy control issues.

Someone drilled a screw into the cart it's not even the same type of screws used on the back 

I'm wondering why someone would've done that. Oh well, it plays fine.

Some shitty mobile game that everyone's mom plays.

Looks like where the middle screw would be in the back? Did someone use a way to large screw by accident that came through it?

No, in fact it looks like there's a small indent on the other side under "EXTREME" where the hole is. I wonder if this is a factory error.

I got it years ago from Amazon and just noticed what looks like a screw or something on the front on the label? Really strange.

I got 55. Can't believe I forgot Dr. Mario, d'oh.

EDIT: Wait, I did this before? Well this score was an improvement and I still forgot Balloon Fight.

Meh.  Watched when it was relevant and I don't care enough to see it again.  And Kevin Spacey and all that.  

From a strictly artistic perspective, Spacey's acting is pretty great.  Keyser Söze ftw.

But he kinda always plays the same smug smarmy I'm-smarter-than-thou psychopathic character.  Which is pretty much how I perceive him in real life.  Anyway, he's pretty much done. 

Nobody's better at playing assholes than Spacey. Love him in Glengarry Glen Ross and Swimming With Sharks.

I would _much_ rather play it than something like Best of the Best Championship Karate. There's much worse on the NES but that didn't happen to be featured in AVGN videos.

I gave it a 5. It's not great, but it's not that bad.

OMG. Welcome back.

There is no such thing as a game that doesn't deserve to be remade. Even a game that is awful in the first place can be made into a good one. See the Action 52 remake project.

All right, Bases Loaded is done. This game really captures the sheer tedium of baseball by making you play 80 boring ass games of baseball.

The special trick in the FAQ definitely works. This is the last time I'm playing this though.

 

 

Games like this are more fun with two players or in small doses as a single player game.

I don't know how people are so good at this. I'm not getting past level 5. It's infuriating how difficult the controls are.

Well I vaguely recall the heckler on the castle wall, a knight in a forest who kept losing limbs, and some kind of volcano place at the end of the movie? (But maybe I'm confusing it with something else

[T-Pac]

How can you not remember the famous breaking of the fourth wall at the end of the movie? Or the killer bunny? Did you fall asleep?

No bad songs this time around so these were tough calls.

I'll never get used to how this game controls.

I'm digging the new family friendly Kickle.
