So I've been slacking on my NES playing lately. I spent a little bit of time in the modern world again playing my newly aquired Persona 4 Arena (which I would highly recommend checking out) and revisiting Batman Arkham City working my way towards a platinum (still a couple trophies left to clean up). But I can never completely ignore my NES hunger so I jumped back in with an interesting title, Dirty Harry.
Dirty Harry is an odd game in that the first level is completely different than the rest of the game. In the first stage you wander through a fairly confusing city scape trying to search down certain items and special entrances to other areas. Its quite difficult at first, but with a little practice becomes a bit more manageable as you learn the correct path to travel. The second and third (also final) levels of the game are straight forward side scrolling action. Thankfully there was a password system so I didnt have to revisit stage 1 after finally figuring it out. The ending was fairly unique though. It had a decent sized digitized voice clip of a very recognizable line from one of the Dirty Harry movies.
More importantly than beating Dirty Harry was that I beat my 200th recorded NES game since October 2011!!! I'm quite pleased with that number! Another interesting number that I'm pleased with is 50,000. Thats how many views I exceeded on my youtube channel thanks to my 40 subscribers (many of which I recognize from rfgen!). Looking forward to getting to 400 games now!
