28:24 - Outro to the only part of the Brief Demonstration of the 1994 Super HIK 14-in-1
1. Contra - I am sure even the pirate multi-cart developers know how awesome Contra is. Play it. It's a great game.
2. Arkanoid - This game is worse than Contra, but still decent - too bad I sucked at it! However, that also means that I got this video done faster, so it can be taken as a positive.
3. Lot Lot - It's a decent enough game in it's own right. You move balls around with 2 cursors in different places until you get enough points to clear a round.
4. Son Son - This is one of the bad games on this multi-cart. It's because this version of Son Son was developed by Micronics, who's infamous for their awful quality of their Arcade-to-NES ports.
5. Galaxian - This is also a good game in it's own right. I have seen this games before MANY times on various multi-carts, so I did not play this for long.
6. Kung Fu - This is Yie Ar Kung Fu, an early fighting game that's actually okay to play. CC will explain more.
7. Antarctic Adventure - Well, I would say something nice about this game, but the game is unbeatable! For whatever reason, the game cannot be speed up (and I was pushing UP and the speed didn't rise one bit). Whoever included this unplayable version needs to think about what he/she did, because it is NOT fun to include a broken game in any multi-cart. (I think I did play this unbeatable/unplayable version at least once).
8. Star Force - This game's decent in it's own right, but I didn't feel like playing beyond those 30 seconds or so of gameplay in this brief demonstration.
9. Battle City - This game's very good (in fact, it's the second-best game in this multi-cart behind Contra). This game is co-op/vs. In this game, you shoot tanks (of which I spawn-camped most of them). The blinking red tanks have power-ups in them. The flashing green tanks take more than 1 hit to destroy. I love this game.
10. Road Fighter - I suppose Road Fighter's all right, but it's nothing special. At least it is not Boat Race, though.
11. Wrestle - I have said before and I will say it again - I do not care for 95% of sports games on ANY console. Unless your name is Tecmo or Tiburon Entertainment (and even then, I might be cautious), get out. That being said.....I suppose this game is all right.
12. Ikki - Why do the pirate multi-cart developers include this game? It might have had the potential to be decent, but being TOO close to all 4 sides of the screen is not good game design. What's even worse is that unless you are INCHES away from ANY side of the screen, the game will not scroll - and this inevitably results in cheap/unavoidable deaths. (This is the reason why Front Line on the Famicom sucks, although thank gosh that game only scrolls up).
13. Brush Roller - This is the only Pirate Original - and it's not even that good. (Yes, some Pirate Originals CAN be good - like Magic Jewelry - which is probably the best Pirate Original on the NES/Famicom made by Hwang Shinwei - but most are not). It's also a bad Pac-Man clone.
14. Joust - This game's decent in it's own right, but Game B has a LOT of lives. The life counter started with a period in it! Yeah - THAT'S how many lives I had! It was like 40+ lives.
Trainers: 2 (Contra starts with the machine gun by default and Joust has 40+ lives)
Broken Games: 1 (Antarctic Adventure is unplayable)
Bad Games: 3 (Ikki, Brush Roller and Son Son)
Okay Games: 3 (Wrestle, Road Fighter and Yie Ar Kung Fu)
Decent Games: 4 (Arkanoid, Lot Lot, Star Force & Joust)
Good Games: 3 (Contra, Battle City & Galaxian)
Best Game On This Multi-Cart: Contra
Worst Game On This Multi-Cart: Son Son
