Would you believe I actually watched all of those?

I like it when Bill screams when enemies attack.  AGGHHHHHGGHA!!!

Thanks for playing these awful games and letting me know not to purchase them on the VC.

He's not the only one doing that, even though you were kidding. Since last week, I've been slowly planning on starting my own audio-reviews.

I think the only strange game I had for the NES was MC Kids, which I actually really like.  It was a decent Mario Bros. 3 clone/rip off.  I actually played it all the way through and beat it.

Bill you did not entertain my Chinchilla.  It still ran away even with your review on... Do they have not taste...
Title: RE: Bill's NES Video "Reviews"
Post by: mantidor on August 07, 2006, 06:55:32 PM
ok, now Im confused, I used to play this car game called road runner, is a vertical scroller. The objective of the game is just to get to the goal, but you have limited gas, and you can pick up special cars that give you a little more, at the same time the road is filled with blue and red cars which will try to make you crash if you pass near them... and also if you do really well a blue superman will pass flying at the left of the screen! I didnt make the connection with the road runner character until now, and I suppose that the game I played wasn't really called road runner anyway, or is a wierd version, I don't know anymore...

Oh and I also played an old PC game of Nightmare on elm street that is far better than this NES version, I can't recall its name though, but I remember the first part was about running in the town to try to find the house while being chased by ghosts. The game had a top-down view.

Maybe I should put up a warning!

"WARNING:  CHINCHILLAS MAY NOT BE ENTERTAINED BY BILL'S HORRIBLE SENSE OF HUMOUR!  THIS MAY LEAD TO RANDOM SPURTS OF VIOLENCE FROM YOUR CHINCHILLA, SO PLEASE WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AT ALL TIMES!"

Dude, I'm totally going to have to rip into you on your Gyromite review.

The Second Controller is supposed to be connected to ROB, your friendly Robot buddy.  He plays the game with you!
Firstly, the "Test" mode is to make sure you have ROB looking at the screen correctly.
In Game A the player simply controls the Professor.
In both Game A and B, you send signals to ROB (that's what the flashing screen is all about) that tells him to move left, right, up or down and to open or close his hands (in order to pick up or drop a Gyro).  In Game B, you send these signals automatically, but in Game A, I believe you have to press select before sending ROB a signal.

Playing Gyromite without ROB would be like playing Donkey Konga without the Kongas.  Except even less fun.  Although, to be fair, Gyromite with ROB is still less fun than Donkey Konga.

OMG. I had no idea there was a Super Dodge Ball style Soccer game out there. I have to ask, though, can you kill people, sending them up as little angels? That was honestly the best part of that old game.

Also, you know what's begging for a review? Trog

UncleBob, I know about R.O.B....I just didn't feel like mentioning him!  (Actually I did in my Stack-Up review, but I forgot to upload it...I guess I'll do that now...)

Oh, and Arbok, you CAN knock players out unconscious if you beat them up enough!  But they come back after a goal is made...

Oh I fully agree, I would even love it if someone tried to adapt it for DS use with Wi-fi play... that concept had a lot of potential and was extremely fun with more than one player.

Bill, you really should edit the first post to include reviews you're put up since the topic was created.  That way, people just joining the party will be able to easily find all your awesomeness in a single post.

Quantem Warrior (I think thats the name).  You are a guy with really long red hair and a painted face with traditional japanese close for the style.  You in a computer killing various with you hair and you collect and use chips to also kill enemies.

You're in luck, as I had made one of Bayou Billy the other day but I didn't really want to put it up because I played it so horribly...But now I ended up putting it up anyway!

"This Stage Use the Controller!!!"

Post by: ShyGuy on August 08, 2006, 02:49:58 PM
See, the thing about Bayou Billy is it also had Light Gun levels. Ironically, you could play these levels with the controller as well, and they were actually easier to play that way than with the Zapper.

Wait, so can we request a game?

Does it have to be on the NES?

Does it have to be obscure?

Paperboy?

Post by: Ceric on August 08, 2006, 06:25:44 PM
Bill you have to do Kirby Adventure.  Then you have done all of the NES games on the Current universal master gamelist at Nintendo. (Just go to advance and filter by system for NES only.)
Title: RE: Bill's NES Video "Reviews"
Post by: Bill Aurion on August 08, 2006, 07:21:19 PM
I don't own every NES game ever, so requesting might not work...

I DO have Kirby's Adventure, so I might play it sometime this week when I'm not busy!  Oh, and I may end up adding SNES and Genesis games when I finally run out of NES games to play...
Title: RE: Bill's NES Video "Reviews"
Post by: vudu on August 08, 2006, 07:24:21 PM
But Kirby's Adventure is good.  A Bill video review will miss the point.

Bill I'm going to ask if you be ok if I did something similar with a totally different system.  I figure I ask for your approval my master.  (I just have to wrench the system from my brother, fix my camera, and make a mounting apperadus(sp?))

I just checked and found my mistake, is not Road Runner, is Road Fighter, I guess I was confused with Lode Runner and I mixed up the names.

I believe you are referring to Kabuki Quantum Fighter, a game with such a bizarre premise that I still remember its name even though I only ever saw a little bit about it in Nintendo Power a long time ago.

Yes, World Cup was great (especially killing players with bicycle kicks), although I only had the Game Boy version. Glad to see the NES version is just as feature packed!

Great idea for a thread BTW.

Bubsy seems to have arbitrary rules - can swim through streams of water and pass under waterfalls but cannot touch large bodies of water at all. What sense does this make? And jumping in a car kills you? Stupid. I hate Bubsy.
