I had another good haul hitting up the thrift stores on Tuesday.
[img width=600 height=800]http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m616/ixtaileddemonfox/CIMG0062.jpg[/img]
So I have been generally happy with my 32" screen since I bought it back in 2005, but over the past several months I found it more and more annoying that I couldn't see very well from my couch.
Over the past few weeks I really was feeling annoyed since the cold weather is making gaming more critical, more of my friends are online, etc. Well best buy decided to have a sale on hdtvs. This was my time to pounce.
So I get to best buy and what brought me in was the idea of a 46" 1080p lcd for $500. I get there and start looking around. Immediately a sales rep asks if he can help me, so I tell him I am interested in a flatpanel tv.
He starts talking about this and that, which I am barely listening to since I am well informed when it comes to technology. At any rate I see a 55" on sale for $850. This caught my eye since 55" is what I really want.
So I am about to pull the trigger on it when I find out it only has optical audio out. This is a problem for me since my receiver is old as dirt and has no optical inputs. The sales rep jumps into action and suggests that he may ne able to get me the insignia equivalent to what I was looking for.
Great, he finds one, it has analog audio out, and I'm out of my mind excited. I finally have it I thought, the tv I have been looking for at a price I wanted.
So he brings the box out and I think "oh boy gonna be a tight fit" in my '08 civic Si four door. Yeah not even close.
So I call my roommate who has a jeep Cherokee and it barely fit. Got it home, set it up, and loaded up battlefield bad company 2. Wow, I am psyched! I load up some other games, sweet!
At this point I'm ready to setup the genesis, Saturn, and dreamcast. Wait a second, there is no composite input! Nooo! So, quickly I try to figure out how to resolve this issue since I won't relegate my segas to the 32".
Well it turns out there are composite to hdmi upconverter available, so I ordered one. Fortunately I have the er converter for the genesis so I hooked that up in the meantime and loaded up ghouls and ghosts and it was epic!
So basically the point here is if you are looking for a way to enhance your gaming experience and don't have a big tv, go get one it will enhance your entire game library.
No games this time. Sorry. My wife surprised me with a couple tickets to go see Nightseeker last night which meant no time for Air Fortress. Just incase you dont know who Nightseeker is (which I'm willing to bet very few do), if you've seen the movie FUBAR or FUBAR II you might be familiar. One of the main characters from the movies has created his own band based on his movie character and has been touring Canada.
It was a blast to see some 80s style rock and goofyness on stage. Plus we got him to come out for a second encore, in which he played Living After Midnight (I'm a HUGE Judas Priest fan so that was the icing on my cake:) )
To make this blog slightly gaming related:
Deaner was mingling with the crowd before the show and was posing for pictures, signing stuff and just chatting with people. I went to get my picture takin with him. After the picture session he commented on how he loved my baseball hat. You cant tell in the picture, but its an Atari hat. He started telling me how he loved playing Montezuma's Revenge on his 2600 years ago. He seemed genuinely impressed when I told him I play old stuff like that all the time. Then he screamed "MONTEZUMA'S REVENGE, WHOOOOOOO" so that everyone in the bar knew his love for Atari. It was a fun night. Back to the gaming grind now though.

I got all this from a few different thrift stores over the weekend I think I paid A little over $20.00 for all of it.

[img width=600 height=669]http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m616/ixtaileddemonfox/CIMG0065-1.jpg[/img]
So I thought I'd start off the night with some Air Fortress as per raptor94k's suggestion. All was going well until about the 5th level. It started to get fairly challenging, but since it has a code system to continue it wasnt a problem and I could give it a few more tries. Boom, after a few attempts Stage 5 done. Nothing to it. The first half of stage 6 was a cake walk and supplied me with more health and bombs than any other level, by far. This fortress will be a breeze........... fast forward 2 hours later and I'm still playing Stage 6. It took me that amount of time to find the best route to get to the Core of the Fortress (you need to destroy each Core and then escape before it explodes). Now that I've found the Core I've spent another hour trying to figure out how to escape, which I havnt been able to yet. I think I'm quite close so I'm not giving up on this game yet. If level 7 proves to be as much of a pain as Level 6 I will have to put in on the back burner though.
Nobody happens to know how to escape from the 6th Fortess, do they? If your curious to try the stage for yourself the continue code is 2APP. Enjoy!
In less exciting news I finished Dynowarz: The Destruction of Spondylus. Its a pretty bad game, but I like it for some reason. Maybe because I just pretend its a Power Rangers game on the NES. I had many stupid deaths so the video is a bit longer than it should have been.
Also tried some Metal Storm tonight, but was having the same issue as with Journey to Silius so I'll have to record these on the VCR and then transfer them onto my computer.

I'll at the very least finish Stage 6 on Air Fortress tomorrow.
As promised I was able to finish off the NES Contra games by completing Contra Force Tonight. The video will be quite dull starting on Mission 4, because man did I suck tonight. Had to redo it like 4 times for some reason. Oh well its over and done with now.
Next up to the plate was Power Blade. One of my all time favorite NES games. After getting quite frustrated with Contra Force I decided to be a bit cheap and use the bomb glitch on most of the bosses. Even so I screwed up big time on the last level by forgetting that I could restore my health. That made it a lot harder than it should have been since I had several health items I could have used at any time.
Power Blade 2 went a lot smoother. Almost had a no death run, but screwed up on one of the last bosses. Its a lot slower placed than the first one so it seemed painfully sluggish.
Gave Journey to Silius a go, but with enemy bullets being occasionally invisible it just wasnt going to happen. I might have to record this game on a VHS tape and then transfer it because I dont think I can beat it with a handicap like I did a few of the other games.

Might hit up some space themed shooters tomorrow night.
It's been awhile since I have posted but that doesn't mean I haven't been playing and finishing games. I don't have time to go into depth right now but here is a list of games I have beat since my last post:
1. Alice: Madness Returns(PS3)-I really liked this game. It had a great atmosphere and I loved the platforming of it as well. I tried playing the original Alice that came with the game but just couldn't keep playing as it just felt old.
2. Bulletstorm(PS3)-This game was pretty fun. I didn't like the fact that it took a ton of bullets to take enemies down. Even shots to the head would need more than one shot.
3. Medal of Honor(360)-I enjoyed this game but it isn't close to the Call of Duty games in terms of quality. A bit generic but enjoyable.
4. Resistance 2(PS3)--I really liked this game. A lot of people bag on the game but I found it to be an awesome FPS. It was a ton of fun and looked great. I really look forward to getting Resistance 3 soon!
5. Killzone 3(PS3)- I think I will say it-This is my favorite FPS game of all time. It had no flaws in my opinion and was an absolute blast to play. Can't wait for the Vita Killzone!
I am currently playing Homefront which is alot of fun and after that is Dead Space 2 and Condemned 2 just in time for Halloween!

Hyperdimension Neptunia seems to be one of the most divisive games of the year. You either love it or you hate it. And I love it. Where to begin? It's a crazy collaboration between the likes of NIS, Compile Heart, Sega and Idea Factory. It's an extreme JRPG, but seems to be making fun of JRPG's. It's got some of the most moe artwork I've seen localized in a while. It's dialogue is ridiculously hilarious. It has a simplified overworld system where you don't actually walk from place to place, but instead choose chapters from a list. It also simplifies item management. It uses a strange setup where you utilize button combos for your attacks. Instead of spells, you summon old Sega games like Altered Beast or Fantasy Zone. To put it simply, it's kind of insane. And like I said, I love it.
[img width=700 height=393]http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2011/005/reviews/995177_20100106_screen006.jpg[/img]
Our heroine is named Neptune. This is actually a personification of the failed Sega Neptune hardware. In fact all of the goddesses in the game are based on consoles. That's because the game is basically an allegory about the console wars. You see it's only when "Nintendo," "Sony," and "Microsoft" team together that they can destroy Neptune. This personification of companies leads to great fan-service jokes. Early in the game Vert (Microsoft) talks about how her breasts are so much larger than Neptunes that it's obvious that that implies she is more powerful -- a sly jab at Microsoft's ridiculously large Xbox (and its controller).
[img width=700 height=393]http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2011/005/reviews/995177_20100106_screen027.jpg[/img]
And the whole game is full of rib-jabs to video game nerds. Early on you fight things that look like Space Invaders as well as Dragon Quest-inspired slimes. Your quest is of course to save the land of Gameindustri. Even the developers poke fun at themselves with the visual novel style interface and dialogue that seems to make light of the very games that have put each of them on the map.
[img width=420 height=237]http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2011/005/995177_20110106_screen002.jpg[/img]
I'll be the first to say that this game is not for everyone. It definitely takes a certain kind of fan to find this game appealing. But for those of us that do, it's one of the most unique RPG's to hit US consoles in quite some time. Oddly enough it even inspired me to go out and get a Dreamcast. You see it's such a strange game, I couldn't help but feel like Neptune (Sega) was telling me -- 'hey! If the Dreamcast was still around today, THESE are the kind of games that would be on it.'
After many hours spent not playing NES games, and tons of PMs volleyed back and forth with Bickman2k (who was also my first subscriber ever, horaay!) we were finally able to get some videos shrunk down and then uploaded to youtube. Currently I've got 9.5 games loaded onto the old tube, but I've got all the rest of the videos shrunk to a more managable size and will be able to get them uploaded aswell in the near future. I also learned to reduce the settings on my capture software so that the file will be much smaller from the get go and I wont have to mess around with it afterwards.
Even though I spent a lot of my free time messing around with the videos I did manage to get a bit of gaming time in, which I spent playing Double Dragon. After over a dozen attempts I kept inching closer and closer to the end, but wasnt able to finish any games on Wednesday. A couple hours more DD early on Thursday morning and I was barely able to squeak out a victory and save my lady friend.
Tried some DDII afterwards and decided that, for now at least, the games are too time consuming for me to continue with. They are short, but unforgiving, No extra lives or continues makes them brutal games. So I've moved on to everyones favorite......
Contra!! Now instead of having to dodge invisible bullets, like I had to with Mega Man it was my bullets that would occasionally be gone. That wasnt a big deal, but when I got hit and respawned I wouldnt be able to see my character while he was invulnerable. Which meant I couldnt take advantage of that wonderful time very well. It ended up taking me a bit longer than I wanted, but I was able to get another win. Almost had a no continue victory, but screwed up right near the end.
What goes better with Contra than Super C? Nothing, thats what. So I had no choice, but to follow up some C with a little Super C. Was a little bit quicker than Contra, but still took longer than it should have to get my win. Had a fairly solid run though so nothing to complain about.
I was hoping to score the Contra Trifecta tonight with a Contra Force win also, but I only had a very short time left and when I was partway through stage 4 on my last attempt, my game froze. Should be able to knock it off early tomorrow though and I'll probably follow it up with some Contra-esque Power Blade action.
I'll try and get the hot Contra on Contra videos up soon, in addition to the rest of the Mega Man ones.
Thanks so much for all your help Adam!!

Hello fellow gamers. My brother and I had a nice haul from one of our favorite places to shop in CB, Iowa. We got 12 NES games complete in there boxes. Well that's not all folks all but three are sealed. The games we got were:
1. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - 2 Copies ONE SEALED and One Opened.
2. Dragon Power (Discussed this one in an earlier blog). NEW SEALED
3. Flying Warriors - NEW SEALED
4. Friday The 13th - ONE NEW SEALED and One Opened. The cool thing is both are alternate versions of one another one is the Round Seal and the other is the Oval Seal.
5. George Foreman's KO Boxing - NEW SEALED
6. Guerrilla War - NEW SEALED
7. Kabuki Quantum Fighter - NEW SEALED
8. Magmax - NEW SEALED
9. Ultimate Stuntman - NEW SEALED
10. Wizards and Warriors - Opened
The cool thing is they are all in PRISTINE to MINT Condition. Even the sealed games wrappings are in Mint condition no flaking or tearing. Also I know these aren't rare games but having NEW SEALED NES games is hard to come buy especially when you only spend $60.00 in Trade (my brother traded his magic cards) and $50.00 in cash for the games. So basically we got all 12 games for $50.00.
The other thing we got from our favorite place today is mint condition complete in box Atari 2600 Wireless Remote Joysticks! For $20.00! It's even packaged in the Styrofoam in the inside!!! How cool is that!?! Sometimes when you find Atari stuff they are gutted and there is no Styrofoam which really blows!
The day before (also when I found out about the games) I bought Final Fantasy Tactics Strategy Guide, Prima Edition for $5.00 and sells for quite a bit.
Another thing my brother bought off eBay brand new in box is Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. It is also in Excellent Condition.
So all in all spent about $75.00 at our store in CB, IA and $30.00 on eBay. So a total of approximately $105.00 is pretty good.
SO here are the pictures let me know what you think!

http://www.destructoid.co...-sale-on-ebay-65705.phtml
I used one of these when I was in the Army Wish I could get my hands on one.
So I was drinking a Pepsi Throwback and eating some Cheetos, then I thought I should make a blog different from my others. So here it is Games with Food or Beverage Companies. I am only going to name a few as there are about 50 or so games out there. The first couple that come to mind well back to Pepsi and Cheetos.
Coca-Cola - Pepsi Invaders & Coca-Cola Kid
Back in the 1980's there was a classic Atari 2600 game that is hard to find Pepsi Invaders also known as "Coke Wins!, Pepsi and Coke"!! This game is pretty cool! Unfortunately all I have is the ROM. The cart doesn't come with any labeling but a white strip that was type written and only given to Coke employees as a promotional gig. Hmmm maybe my friend who works for Coke can get me one! That would be pretty sweet huh!!! Coke has another game that was released on the Game Gear only in Japan called Coca-Cola kid the game pretty cool, easy to get your hands on it if you purchase from eBay.
Pepsi - Pepsiman
Pepsiman is a Japanese game for the PlayStation released in 1999, featuring the Japanese mascot for Pepsi, Pepsiman. The gameplay itself is entirely on rails, consisting of Pepsiman running from one end of the level to the other, picking up Pepsi cans and using Pepsi-branded vending machines on the side. This game is really rare.
Cheetos
Chester the Cheetah had two games released on Sega and Super Nintendo. These games were just basic platform games.
McDonald - M.C. Kids
I know McDonald's has had quite a few games released some on PC and what not. But M.C. Kids on the NES is a pretty awesome platform game that kind or reminds me of Super Mario Bros. 2 and Rescue Rangers on NES.
Domino's Pizza
Yo! Noid was a classic Saturday Morning cartoon commercial character and when a game for the NES came out I was there at Phar-Mor (now owned by some conglomerate, the store was kind of like a giant Walgreen's with a huge video store attached to it). The game is a pretty sweet platform game in which you control Noid. He had other games that came out on other systems, but he is one the most classic 80's food icons. Today I hate Domino's and there's no Noid as their spokes person.
California Rasins
Who doesn't remember the jazz and music playing grapes?!?! I remember them well singing such songs as Heard it Through The Grapevine and so on. They had a game released as a Prototype for the NES. You can download the Rom the game is pretty cool.
7-Up
Spot! Yes that crazy character had many games that were released, such as Spot! The Video game For NES which plays like checkers in my opinion and Spot! Goes to Hollywood which was released on several systems. Spot! Goes to Hollywood is a great game for a platform game unlike his NES counterpart which can be quite boring. But a little background about Spot is he was another commercial character in the 80's who was great at promoting his product 7-Up he's still around but as a silent red dot on the bottle that 7-Up still has but as most commercials have become they all loose their characters that attract kids, and he was the first to go.
The last one I would like to talk about is Kool-Aid
Kool-Aid Man on the Atari 2600 and Intellivision is a pretty cool game unfortunately he didn't have any other releases. He does occasionally show up in say an episode of Family Guy. But his commercials were awesome! He is still around today getting kids to drink their Kool-Aid so how about another game! It would have to be way better than the company I will only mention once the games for Xbox mentioned by the other burger joint oh yeah Burger King, those games are CRAPPY!!!!! Sorry for those who like them.
So I hope you all enjoyed this blog if any of you want to add more information just post a comment and we can talk from there, also if you have any other game that you want to talk or add on to this list leave a comment.
Thanks.
Managed to squeeze one more game of Ren and Stimpy in today. This one went much better and I didnt even have to dig into my continues (barely). I love the show and comics, but this game is kind of lame. Its got some decent humor and nods to the show, but the gameplay is very frustrating at times. Especially when playing as Ren.
Bickman is currently holding my hand and trying to get me setup for some videos on youtube. I'm having some difficulty and being the computer dunce that I am I'm not sure if its my fault or my systems. Hopefully we'll be able to get it sorted out though.
Heres another screen for you guys:

Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout
Ren and Stimpy Show: Buckaroo$
Tonight I went with a Classic Cartoon theme and finished Felix the Cat and Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout. Also had a failed attempt at The Ren & Stimpy Show: Buckaroo$.
Felix the Cat was a cake walk. There was one part where I was just trying to go to fast and spent 3 or 4 lives, but otherwise it was smooth sailing all the way to the final boss. He cost me a few more lives until I figured out a better way to attack him and then he fell easily as well.
BBBB was a bit harder than Felix, but still very easy overall. Like Felix the bosses were all a joke. The hammer that Bugs uses to attack is horrible. It really wrecks the game. If they made it so that you had to jump on enemies or simply avoid them, I think the game would have been a lot more fun. After each level you play a lottery to try and win extra lives. Sometime a little over halfway through the game I hit the jackpot and won myself 50up! Because of that I finished the game with something ridiculous like 74 extra men.
I've beaten Ren & Stimpy before a long long time ago, but tonight was having some troubles. Now that I've refreshed myself on some of the trickier spots and puzzles I should be able to breeze through it during my next playthrough.

PS - I'll be attempting to upload some of the videos onto youtube over the next couple days. I'll let you guys know if its successful or not.
See that Flyer? That's the Flyer for the original Arcade version of Splatterhouse. Tell me, are Arcade games usually long? No. Do they usually take HOURS to beat? No. Splatterhouse breaks both of these rules with it's Nightmarish difficulty. I just spent THREE hours playing through this game, and let me tell you, it was not a walk in the park. Splatterhouse has got to be the toughest Arcade game in the world, without question. I continued over 200 Times, played for three hours, and I finally managed to beat it. Seriously, if I was playing the actual cabinet (I was playing an emulated version on the PS3 Version of the game), I would be out a year's salary. It's THAT tough.
Anyway, your probably thinking "Why didn't you just quit then?". I ask myself that same question, as I honestly have no idea. Normally, my temper and low patience would have led me to quit a game like this, but for some reason, I didn't. I just kept pressing forward until I finally beat it. I knew Arcade Games could be sadistic, but I never imagined one would take it this far. The people who developed it are probably laughing about it to this very day. In all honesty, I don't see how anyone could have allowed a game like this to be released. This game probably crushed a lot of kids' spirits when it was first released. Imagine the toughest game you've ever played, and multiply it's difficulty times four, and you have this.
But enough about how tough this game is. How does it play? This time, you can go figure it out for yourself, because there is no way I can give this game an honest review. It's just not in me. If you want to punish yourself for some reason, then go and play this. I just do not think I can give this game a fair review after what I went through tonight. If you want my advice though, stay away from this game and play Ninja Gaiden II instead. You'll save yourself a lot of frustration. Yeah, I went there. It's THAT tough, if I haven't made myself clear enough yet.
This is ReddMcKnight, signing off, and hoping that I won't ever get the urge to play this game again.

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.
