Let’s Play Bad Dudes! Eck, Bad Dudes. Another game which is borderline unplayable from what I remember about it. Let’s Play Bad Dudes: It feels weird to say that, because I always thought I liked this game and thought it was kind of cool growing up, but I think that was just after seeing it […]

Let’s Play Total Recall! Another Filmbruary, another set of subpar games. Wait, Total Recall isn’t subpar. Well okay, it’s not great, but it’s kind of fun. It was featured in one of those infamous “Game Player Tapes” that we had as kids, I know that, so that on its own makes it worthy of a

Let’s Play The Legend of Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link! Pretty sure this was another XMAS day gift. Damn that gold cartridge was sweet (I made it a point to get the gold Ocarina of Time as well). I believe that this was the first year where I announced the theme of playing a

Let’s Play Star Trek: 25th Anniversary! Admittedly kind of a random title for an NES/Star Trek/any game, but this is actually a pretty awesome game. Sort of maybe following the plot of the whale Star Trek movie (4 maybe?… I’m no trekkie), the idea is that Kirk and the crew have to go back in

Let’s Play Super Mario 3! “SUPER… MARIO… THREEEEEE!” “A new game? They can’t do that!” I can’t think of Super Mario 3 without thinking about The Wizard and subsequently misquote that movie like I just did. Let’s Play Super Mario 3: Anyway, to say that there was hype when Mario 3 came out was an

Let’s Play Ice Climbers! I was all in for the winter of 2014/2015 apparently judging from my game selection around this time. Ice Climbers was a popular arcade game ported to the NES pretty faithfully, and it was a good time. Let’s Play Ice Climbers: Ice Climbers was never my favorite of the classic NES

Let’s Play M.C. Kids! Desperate to find a game I could tie into the Thanksgiving theme, I counted my blessing when I stumbled upon the surprisingly okay platformer, M.C. Kids. How big was McDonalds in the early 90’s? They commissioned a fricking NES game based on their various characters like Ronald, Grimace, Birdy, and the

Let’s Play Mega Man 3! It’s not often that I can say that the third installment in a series was my favorite, but Mega Man 3 is arguably my favorite in the entire series. For me it was just about striking the right balance without getting stale. Mega Man 1 set the foundation but it

Lets Play Nintendo Pinball! Nintendo was commissioning and creating games on everything in the mid 80’s when they were just touching down, and fortunately most of them were great. Take Nintendo Pinball, for instance; a super fun take on what could have been a horrible transition of taking a bar room and arcade staple and
