Pirate Pete's Porter Pourer?

Not to 4... or to 2.... unless further continuing on to 3. 5 is outright!

Quake?

Y's Books I, II & III I took down these games on the Analogue duo last week and weekend. They are a little bit of a slog, but there is a charm about them that shines through. I would have been blown away by these at the time they released. I enjoyed I and II much more than III. I didn't like the half-assed platforming format of III, but I don't hold it against them for trying something new. Just hold the sword button down and walk forward is basically how that one plays. I very much enjoyed the music in all the titles. There are some that really slap. I started Book IV, but I want to play some other titles before I come back to it.

RESCUE: The Embassy Mission on NES?

So, I looked them both up..... and we're both right. Ha ha. This plays in the opening of MM2 as the camera scrolls up the building right before the song changes to hard rock and the title appears. It is also the beginning of the end credits theme for MM1. That's just big video game for ya... reusing assets to save themselves a few pennies. Ha ha.

#4 is the definitely the intro to Mega Man 2. Not sure on the others.

The songs are not great and the whole thing is just weird. Not my cup of tea either Glazball. Plenty of better movies out there. I don't know why this one is held in such high regard. I do like Tim Curry though. Shame what's happened to him.

Jungle Strike? or Urban Strike?

A little known band called the Redwalls has a song titled "Thank You". It sounds like it is a lost Beatles song. I play it all the time.

It looks like a 2600 Minion. HABA GLABBA DOO ZZOOOOP!!

Shinobi III?

Chip and Dale : Rescue Rangers?

I get that Geography differences correlate to interest level. It would make sense that you wouldn't be much interested in hockey if you are never able to do it in a park, yard or on a pond. I'm in the midwest. Growing up, the public works would flood the park and make a big snow bank around it. It was cold enough at that time that the sheet would last from early Dec to late Feb. I've been looking around and don't see a ton I can pipe in as far as the hockey themes beyond the big ones mentioned above. I've shifted my focus to music I can play while the Zamboni is driving. The shop theme from Earthbound is definitely going to get a play. There is a version of it by Tom Brier on Youtube that is amazing. I'm thinking "game shop/store" themes might be a better fit for while the zamboni is going. Any recommendations there?

Yes, actually. I know it's fun to crap on sports titles, but hockey games are IMO the best sports games made. Usually the more arcadish games age better because they don't have specific rosters and are more action oriented. You're missing out if you don't give Ice Hockey (NES), Blades of SteeI (NES), NHLPA 93 (GEN), NHL 94 (GEN) or Hit the Ice (Arcade) a try. I like to spray to all fields when playing games and sometimes that sports itch just needs to be scratched.
