Posted under NES, Games, OneHundred

Hey all. Some of you may recall a post of mine from a while back, stating that I wanted to get 100 NES Games, mostly as a personal goal. Well, I'm almost there! I currently have 71, and I'm going NES Game Hunting tomorrow, which should really boost that number upwards.

In other news, I'm gonna do a new entry in my PGGS soon. Please suggest a game for me out of these 3:

Back To The Future
The Adventures of Bayou Billy
Punchout

That's all for now. Later. Smiley

Posted under NES Challenge, Roundball 2 on 2 Challenge, American Gladiators, City Connection, 720

There has been one person on Nintendoage that has had more NES games finished from their list this year than myself. Its been bugging me so I've been pushing hard to catch up and pass him. I was able to knock off 4 more games in the last couple days. All pretty short and relatively easy, but a couple pretty fun ones.

First up was City Connection. Fun little arcade style game that has you jumping your car from streets at different heights trying to make sure you've touched every bit of road before being able to move onto the next stage. While driving around you have to avoid cats and police. With only 6 different stages to see it didnt take long to get them looping, but it was definitely a fun time.

Next game was also surprisingly fun, American Gladiators. I remember catching a show or two when I was younger and each event featured in the game was familiar. Some were more fun than others, but I though that the Wall, Joust and Human Canonball were pretty cool, and the Eliminator round at the end was a blast. Very neat game.

[img width=638 height=481]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/AmericanGladiators-Ending.jpg[/img]


Picked a couple quicky sports games next to help move things along. Roundball 2-on-2 Challenge was the first one. Had some trouble at first until I realized it was very easy to sink 3 point shots. After that I just sat back and just sank basket after basket without worrying about what the opposing team was up to.

[img width=638 height=481]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/Roundball-Ending.jpg[/img]


Lastly I played through 720, which is a skateboarding game and not a very good one. Like many NES games that have your character rotating 360 degrees I had a very hard time actually landing the spins. Luckily I didnt really need to do spin tricks. The game consists of 4 events in 4 different classes. This one was kind of like Ski or Die in the sense that you can just clear each event and dont necessarily have to do very well.

Posted under SGC, Xbox, Starfox, MW3




Since writing 30 diffrent blogs seemed excessive, I decided to reduce my SGC updates to 1x a week....

and a busy week it was! Shortly after posting my rant about S&K (read it here: http://www.rfgeneration.c...2-Sonic-Knuckles-2169.php )
I finished Call of duty: MW3.

It was much longer than I had expected, although I wasn't expecting much. The action was great, and it was a worthwile wrap up to the storyline

Yesterday graced my tv with the completion of Starfox for the SNES....and I'm not too sure why I waited this long to play it.
The game was fun, exciting, and handled precicely. Can't complaign at all...except for the wacky end boss. Why in the hell is Andross a cube?

Oh well, small complaignts asside, I had a blast with both of these games.

Now to update the list

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Borderlands [Game of the Year]

About 12-13 game days into pikmin, and have half the parts. Don't even remember where I left off at in D&D.

Stuck on the last boss in punchout...curse you Mr.Sandman!!! Pokemon snap is on the volcano stage.

Posted under NES Challenge, Simpsons Bart vs The Space Mutants, Werewolf The Last Warrior

I've already been able to cross a few trilogies off my NES bucket list such as the TMNT games, Ninja Gaiden games and even the Ultima series. I was able to finish off one more just last night, the last of the Simpsons games is finally done!

Many people revile the Simpsons games on the NES and in particular Bart vs The Space Mutants gets the brunt of the relentless verbal assualt. Maybe its because I grew up with a copy of Bart vs The World, but I've never had a problem with these games. In fact I even enjoy them! While the controls are a bit unconventional I dont find them very difficult to work with. Anyway after collecting many hats, exit signs, balloons and nuclear rods I was able to thwart the devilish Space Mutants and receive me reward:

[img width=644 height=480]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/SimpsonsBartvsTheSpaceMutants-Ending.jpg[/img]


Ironcially I got another very "American" ending to another game I beat recently, Werewolf: The Last Warrior. I'm quite surprised that I dont here people talk about this game more often. It was a pretty solid action platformer with some great music throughout. Depending on which powerups you grab you'll play through as either a human, werewolf or super werewolf, each with its own specific powers.

Other than the 4th stage which involved some pretty brutal platforming the game flows very nicely and isnt to hard. That 4th stage though, wowzer. It was annoying. Took lots of trial and error to overcome. Lure some enemies out, take some hits on purpose, hit some enemies while mid jump, watch for enemies coming from underneath you/above you/ and from the sides all while timing your jumps with some moving platforms.

Luckily I was treated to one of my all time favorite ending screens after all the hard work I put into the 4th stage. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:

Posted under Site News, Birthday, Pain Yourself With Submissions, Contest

Today marks the 8th anniversary of when RFGeneration officially went online for the public to use. This is always a big deal here at RFGeneration, every year of existing is a true accomplishment with a site of this size that has no sponsors, ads or any kind of user fees. To make it 8 years in the tough world of online video game databases is truly a testament to our founders' visions and our members' dedication. This accomplishment couldn't have happened without the help of everyone involved with RFGen over the last 8 years.
And to thank you all for helping with RFGen, we hold a contest every year where we challenge you to PAIN YOURSELF WITH SUBMISSIONS! There can only be one winner, one person who goes above and beyond everyone else and submits so much to the database that it causes them pain, whether physical pain of sore wrists or emotional pain of trying to beat everyone else competing in the contest.
And this year was no different, for the past 5 weeks or so, many people have been vying for the prize, and I know it has caused actual physical pain for at least one person. But will it be enough? The competition was fierce this year, we broke submission records, and even had over 5000 more submissions in May this year than we did last year. At this point it could be anyone's game, you'll just have to wait until we can get the points tallied up. So keep it tuned to Channel 3 for the next couple days so you'll be the first to know who won this year's contest.

And Happy Birthday RFGeneration!

Posted under PostalIII, PC, Good, Evil, Branching

[img width=209 height=300]http://www.postalgames.com/catalog/p3tinythumb.jpg[/img]

Remember my Initial Impression of Postal III from a while back? Yeah, I didn't think so. It was lost when RF Generation went down. Anyway, to get you up to speed, it was a terrible first impression that this game made. Fortunately, thanks to Patches and Bug Fixes, it's improved a lot, but it's still not perfect. Here's why:

Gameplay: 3rd Person Shooter

This game runs on Valve's Source Engine, which is unusual, as this is a 3rd Person Shooter, as opposed to an FPS. Anyway, unlike the previous, non-linear game, this one is more linear, with a Good VS. Evil thing going on in most of the missions. You can choose to be evil, or be good, but this is Postal III, so why would you want to be good? Tongue

Unfortunately, the game suffers a lot of lag when there's a lot going on, and while said lag is bad, it's not bad enough to stop you from playing, although it does hamper the experience. Still, it's not as bad as it used to be, with it originally lagging so bad, that it would crash the game.

Sounds and Music:

The sounds are decent and sound great, but with all the chaos going on during the missions, I didn't really pay attention to the music. Sorry.

Graphics:

Unfortunately, this game requires a more powerful machine than I have, so I had to tone down the Graphics a lot to make it playable, so it's not the best looking thing out there. While I personally don't care a lot about Graphics, a lot of people do, so I'm giving you a fair warning: If you really wanna play this, get a super computer. Smiley

The End Result: C Plus

This game needs some work, but it really has come far from when it was first launched, and is at least playable now, but it's not really worth 30 Bucks yet, so I'd wait for a price drop if you plan to buy it. Also, you NEED to be patient. The load times are awful, and longer than those of the Neo-Geo CD. All in all though, this is a funny game, and you should really give it a chance.

Fun Fact: You can meet Uwe Boll in this game. Smiley

EDIT: As of today, June 8th, 2012, I learned of a way to increase performance which gets rid of most of the lagging. If you want to know how to do this, send me a PM.

Posted under NES Challenge, Dance Aerobics, Adventures of Bayou Billy, Pipe Dream, Ski or Die

May has been a slow month for my poor NES. Damn these distracting submission contests!! Now that its nearly behind me I can focus on playing more games again.

After having some fun with Stadium Events not to long ago I decided to keep my power pad out and practice my dancing with Dance Aerobics. It was long, but thankfully fairly easy. An hour staright on the power pad had me work up quite a sweat though.

Next up I had to see what Redd has been talking about and popped in some Bayou Billy. Mode A of course, so that I could use the zapper on the shooting stages. Thankfully the most challenging levels were early on with my least favorite being Stage 4. Stage 4 is the first of 2 driving stages and it is particularily annoying because you have to dodge some rocks on the dirt road which are incredibly challenging to avoid. A few days of practice and I was able to finish it up with no continues though. Probably not a game I'll revisit any time soon.

Looking for something more relaxing after Bayou Billy I went for some good ol' Pipe Dream. In most NES games that have preset highscores it often doesnt take much to best them. Pipe Dreams had some pretty hefty scores to overcome though and 3 different modes to do it in. Mode A was the regular game were you play through stages 1-1 through 1-4, then onto 2-1 through 2-4 and onwards. You are treated to a bonus stage every 4th level. Mode B had you play one stage at level 1 and then directly on to level 2 and so forth. These were both fairly long, but after figuring out how to score some decent points they were so bad. Mode C though was a pain. 50,000 on one stage is brutal!

Not feeling to relaxed from Pipe Dream I put in Ski or Die and that was what I needed. Short and easy. There isnt any ending or preset highscores so I just had to play through each event.

This blog entry is basically just a shameless plug for The Racketboy Podcast (which I co-host) to let the folks here know that I will be covering E3 throughout this week via Twitter and then with a big wrap-up show on Sunday night/Monday morning posted to http://www.racketboy.com/podcast/.

I don't think that any of the RFGen 'casts are heading out there, and since I know that folks here in general share a lot of the same interests (and many of the same members), I thought there might be interest.  I hope you'll consider checking us out for a unique angle on this year's E3.

I'll be sure to update this blog with a regular launch game/end game entry later this month!

Posted under SGC, Sonic, sega




2 games down already! This time it's Sonic and Knuckles for genesis (which for those of you keeping track means i can put the Sega away for the rest of the summer xD)

Sonic and knuckles felt odd, and i couldn't put my finger on it until about half way through the game....when i saw a scene that looked sorta like this:



look familiar? ...how about when put near this:


it was at this point that i realized i was no longer playing a sonic game....just a cheap mario ripoff. The speed that defined the games was minimal, and twitchy platforming sections dominated the game. I was really hoping that after my disappointing experience with sonic 3 (read it here:http://www.rfgeneration.c...-NeoMagicwarrior-1798.php) that the game would return to its roots....*sigh*

That isn't to say the game was all bad. The controls were tighter than they had ever been, and some of the music was great (even though some of it was horrible).

Eventually, i'll have to go back through with knuckles and see if it is any more enjoyable that way, but for now i'll call it done!

so where am I at?

Posted under whats inside, NES, variation, variant, al unser

Awhile back I had started a couple of threads showing pictures of the insides of games or devices I had taken apart. Unfortunately those threads were lost in battle. See, back in early 2012 RFGeneration was in a large battle, I think it was mostly ninjas, but there may have been pirate aliens too. Some of our youngest and best threads were lost. But RFGeners stayed strong and started making new content quickly. I am doing my part by bringing back the "whats inside?" sort of pictures, this time in Blog form!

Al Unser Jr. Turbo Racing. The first copy I bought was several years ago, it seems like it was part of a larger group of games bought on one day. This has been the only NES game I have never gotten to work. No amount of cleaning, blowing, wishing or blue potion's were able to bring this cartridge to life. There was no apparent reason for this, although far from a mint example, nothing seemed to be wrong....well, there was one thing. This cart was also the only one I've had which has a rattle when shook.

Fast forward to a month ago when I found another copy of Turbo Racing. The first thing I did when I picked it up was shake it. It rattles too! How strange is that? Would it work? I really was wondering about this until I got home. At the risk of ruining the suspense this is bringing my two readers, yes, the new copy worked. But why do both carts rattle? It's never taken much of an excuse for me to open things up....

Posted under Family, gaming, neo geo aes, ninja combat, finished

My son has been gaming on and off with me (and occasionally without me more recently) for about 2 years now. In that time he has played games across many generations and genres. I've seen him enjoy games on the NES, 3DS, DS, Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, Sega CDX, SNES, N64 and most recently Neo Geo AES.

Like his father he seems to have a special place in his life for platformers and has always been a Super Mario fan, but has recently been exploring the world of Kirby and loving it. Even with his affinity for platformers he is no stranger to scrolling shooters, 2D fighters, beat 'em ups, 3D action games or run 'n guns. Despite only being 4 and not having developed his reading skills enough to tackle text heavy games he seems to have a keen interest in the RPGs he has seen me play as well and no doubt cant wait to dig in himself.

Over his short life he has been able to hit several gaming milestones such as completing his first level, or finishing a game with a little assistance. But just a couple days ago he was able to do something that I wasnt able to do until I was 2 years older. He finished his first game with no outside assistance!

The game in question isnt particularly hard since it has unlimited continues, but in the past when he has come close he typically gets bored or frustrated and leaves the game before getting to the end. Most recently with Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition's final boss, Seth.

Whatever the reason he had a blast playing Ninja Combat on the AES and stuck with it right until the end. How badass is it that the first game he ever finished was on a Neo Geo AES? How many people can say that? Anyway just thought I'd rant as a proud father of a young fledgling gamer.

Posted under SGC, contra, sega

Well, the first of the pile has fallen! Contra Hard Corps is finally beaten.



CHC requires a bit of an explanation as to why it is so important. I've had this game as long as I've had my genesis (94-95ish). And as a five year old, it is tough to decide which game is harder: the lion king or Contra Hard Corps. Now that I'm much older, I have come to see the answer: lion king.

Contra Hard Corps was more of a memory game than i had thought. After not playing this gem for years,  it all just fell into place...each bullet expertly dodged with precision and grace and extra lives....so many extra lives and continues.

i really wish i could find some sort of story on it though....not sure how a wolf with a robotic arm and a robot fit into contra storywise....then again, why am i asking about a story in contra???

I really enjoyed playing through it....and cant wait till i get the time to play through again to get a different ending..

so where does that leave me? oh wait 29 more >.>

Posted under game challenge

After some deliberation I've decided to (finally) declare a Summer Game Challenge.  I've been coming to this website for three years now, and have read and been inspired by many of the RFG members trips into their backlog (especially Crabmaster2000's NES-FEST 2012).  I've tried doing this informally before, but each time I end up fizzling out after only a few weeks.  I thought that maybe if I make a formal declaration I could do it.

My list mainly consists of previously unplayed NES games, along with a few others just for flavor:

Conquest of the Crystal Palace
Ironsword
Dr. Chaos
Total Recall
Ultimate Stuntman
Tombs and Treasures
Swords and Serpents
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Driver: San Francisco
X3: Terran Conflict
X3: The Albion Prelude

And we did not only listen to the good stuff you guys had to say either, so pay close attention to the new and improved audio and let us know what you think.

Last time we spoke about what drew us into video game collecting and why we love it like we do. This time well begin to explore the vast world of online game collecting. Well talk about our favorite online shops, what we think about auctions sites, what we look for in shipping, and even come to a rare agreement as to what the best method for obtaining games online is.

You can also expect us to keep things in line with the previous cast and showcase our favorite scores around RF Generation since the last recording. In addition we also take some time to thank everybody for the amazing welcome we received the first time around as it was very encouraging and had us looking forward to producing more content for you in the future.

We are a community of collectors, gamers and the likes, and some of us enjoy to let the world know what is on our mind. For those members, we have the community blogs, a place where they can publish their thoughts and feelings regarding life, universe, and everything. Some of those members might even choose to write about gaming and collecting! Whatever they write about, you can find it on their blog. You can either see the latest community blog entries in the feed you see to the left, or you can browse for your favorite blog using the menu above. Interested in having your own blog hosted on RF Generation? It's rather simple, first be a registered member, and then click the "My Blog" link that you see in the navigation above. Following those two steps will certainly get you on your way to blogging.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy our entries, rantings, and completely unrelated series of thoughts. We write for you to read, so we certainly hope that you enjoy our material.
