Did the challenge for Golden Nugget 64. Nothing to really get a screen shot of. Do you like casino games? Would you like them even more with crummy graphics and unintuitive controls? Then this is the game for you.

Rampage: World Tour is complete. I played this in the arcade and I rented the NES version as a kid, but this was my first time playing the N64 one. It is... Okay. It's a fun, pick up and play arcade game. It's really hard to actually lose at it. You can keep continuing forever, basically. But to actually finish it, it becomes a repetitive grind. Punch, kick, eat, die, repeat. Some levels are so easy. Some levels have mechs on the ground and jet pack flame thrower dudes that are impossible to kill and you end up dying a lot. I wanted to knock out more windows and eat more power ups, but the pace of play kind makes you need to speed run it and leave a lot of things behind. Maybe the next one finds that balance a little better?

Sounds good! I never played either, so I won't rule them out. Thanks!

Army Men: Sarge's Heroes I don't know why I ended up doing all these 3DO games. It wasn't intentional. I really want to like Sarge's Heroes. I love the concept of it. And I do have some fond memories of playing multiplayer with my buddies, but this was my first time doing the campaign and... It's just bad. The biggest issue is the camera. It is a constant battle just trying to see what you're doing and where the enemies are. It because the most obvious when you are right on top of an enemy. You can find them, you try spinning around the see them but you end up running a circle around them, and so you need to go into aim mode and try and hit them. Auto aim is weird in this game. Sometimes it works too good, and I found myself just shooting at random and hitting enemies that I couldn't even see. Other times, you're looking right at a guy in front of you and you keep missing while he nails you with a rocket launcher and ends you. I also had some issues with glitches. A couple times I got stuck inside of a box or wall but could eventually wiggle my way out. The bigger issue was on an escort mission and the guy I was escorting got stuck in a wall and I couldn't get him out. Had already spent like 20 minutes on the level and had to restart it. Later in the game enemies just pop out of nowhere or spawn out of thin air. The game gets less fair as it goes on. It's a poor way of upping the difficulty. There are 2 more Army Men games on the 64. I don't know if I have it in me to do another. I'm gonna at least need a palate cleanser first.

WcW/NWO Revenge completed. I'm bad at getting pictures are the right time, but here you can see I got the belt for the final championship circuit. Growing up, my little sister and I didn't have a whole lot in common. Weirdly, one thing we both enjoyed was wrestling. We watched it on TV, and this is one video game that we played together quite a bit. Our favorite thing was to do a 64 man battle Royale. As far as wrestling games go, this one is fine. It has lots of characters with their own finishing moves. I wish it had a create a character. It plays okay enough, but you can easily cheese your way through the matches as well. You can play as Sting and start every match with a bat and just start beating them instantly. And you can just jiggle the analog stick to get out of pins and holds. I did this playthrough more honest than that.

Battletanx: Global Assault is also done now. This one has a lot more variety than the first one, with more tanks and weapons. And it has main campaign 2 player co-op, which is awesome. This one feels a lot faster, more chaotic, and jankier. I feel like all the different teams of tanks look alike, I can't tell who's a teammate or not. The original has a better soundtrack and atmosphere. I think it nailed the dark post apocalyptic vibe better, with sort of a Gothic look. GA is a more fun multiplayer, the original has a better feel to it. Can't go wrong with either game, really. The both suffer one same flaw.... The campaigns are kinda boring, and the stories are lame and misogynistic.

Beetle Adventure Racing done! This is a game that is better than it has any right to be, but still has some quirks you have to overcome. For starters, gotta understand the rubber banding. If you're just trying to win races, it almost doesn't matter how well you drive, you will be able to catch up to first, but you'll never really get ahead and they will always catch you, too. In the end, the game is mostly about clutching it out the last half of the last track. There are some walls that are like magnets. They suck your car into them, doesn't really matter if you slow down or brake. You are gonna run into the wall and suddenly it's like your car just won't turn anymore. And these tracks are LONG. These races take like 7 minutes each.

Missed getting a picture, but Battletanx is completed. One of my favorites!

I didn't get a picture, but I also did Tetris DX. Not sure how to "win" exactly, but I played each mode, including beating the computer.

102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue is complete. At first I thought maybe this game wasn't going to be so bad....but then it is just the same thing over and over every level for 17 levels. Go through the whole level to find the key, then backtrack to open all the crates. It's a huge maze, the controls are wonky, the sound annoying. Hated it.

Buzz Light-year Star Command is complete. This game is hot garbage.

Arcade Classic No. 2 - Millipede complete.

I started off strong last year, but work and family got in the way and I set the games aside. I don't have any hopes or expectations for this year. Just gonna play when I can. Boggle Plus done.

@Splain - I am a fan. I have the first version. It handles GB and GBC very smoothly. Some GBA games run flawlessly, some have some minor glitching and slow down. NES is sort of the same. SNES isn't really worth the struggle, IMO. I really like the small form factor. I have small hands, so it fits me, and I slip it in my pocket with em all the time. It certainly has some quirks to it and isn't perfect, but for the price, I can't complain too much. The v2 looks to be quite a bit more powerful and a nicer screen. Should be an excellent device. Of course, it seems that the RG350 is the go-to device at the moment.

It's a close call. While I prefer the actual driving mechanics in MK64 more, the variety of game plays and levels in DKR is just superior and it's the one I would rather play.
