My Gaming Week Version 12 (Week of 11-08-09)
10Here are the games I played for the week of 11-08-2009.
This was another slow week for me playing games. I've been busy with other things, but I was able to get some NES play time in. Once again, games like this are great to pick up and play, and it's up to you how much depth, or time you put into them.
The Games:
Bad Dudes (Nes)-
I got this in the mail this week. I played it a few times years ago at a friends, and remember liking it. From what I hear the NES version isn't that great compared tot he original Arcade version, but who cares? I don;t happen to have an arcade cabinet in my gaming room, so the NES port will do just fine.
This port is still perfectly playable, and has a coop option. I've only really played past the first level each time I played. I think I've only played it about three times this week, but I've already figured out how beat the first boss easily.
BTW, this and Kabuki I got in the mail this week, and they were ex rental copies. What the hell is wrong with some people when they rent things? I had to clean the hell out of them inside and out. Granted they're cartridges, and are durable, but the treatment rentals receive is atrocious.
Batman (Nes)-
This is one that's haunted me since my childhood. I've never been able to beat it without the use of a Game Genie.
I think it's a great game, with some really awesome music to boot, but it's damn hard. Maybe I should give it a full try to beat it once and for all someday.
There are a number of old games that I could never beat when I was younger, but can now beat, so maybe I should just keep trying on this one.
Kabuki Quantum Fighter (Nes)-
This is one that I only recently heard about. What can I say, during the NES days, word about every NES game wasn't so easy to spread. There was no internet to go on forums, or post vids about underrated games in order to get the word out. At least not in a modern equivalent.
I got this in the mail with Bad Dudes earlier this week, and I'm liking what I've played of it. So far, I can only get to the third level of the game, and then I get my a** handed to me, but what do you expect from one week of casual play?
It's a fun game that's worth a look. I never even remotely heard about it back in the day, but the world was a bigger place back then, and who knows if it even released in my area?
