There are a LOT of Unlicensed Games for the NES. One of them is Spiritual Warfare, a game I found to be rather enjoyable. It's an obvious clone of The Legend of Zelda in terms of gameplay, but it's story represents a Christian Theme. I know not many people are fans of Christian Games, but this game is actually decent, to the point of being fun, and no, I'm not just saying that because I'm a Christian myself. Heh. Anyway...
As I mentioned before, this game plays a lot like The Legend of Zelda, but with a few differences. For example, all your weapons (as far as I can tell) are ranged weapons. I have not seen a Sword or a similar weapon since I started it, despite the Box Art showing a Warrior with a Sword. Also, this game is a lot easier, as it was probably intended to be a kid's game. Nonetheless, I found it quite fun. Also, you gotta love the Title Screen:

Yes, that Sword is on fire. Also, notice the "VER 6.1" below it. Not sure what's up with that, but I got a cheap laugh out of it.
Anyway, the game seems to take place in a modern setting, as opposed to a fantasy world. Take a look:

Being a Christian Game, you don't actually *kill* enemies. You throw fruit at them, and the Demon possessing them leaves they're body. Occasionally though, the Demon will come after you, and you can kill it.
One thing that boggled my mind is the fact that the currency is birds, which I honestly did not understand. If this is another part of the Christian Theme, I must have missed something. 
But seriously, this is a fun game, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes The Legend of Zelda, but is looking for a more light hearted experience.
Thanks for reading!
NOTE: This was not intended to be a Review of the game, but a Synopsis. I may write a Review of it at a later time though.

Tetris. It's an infamous title. Perhaps the original "casual game." The one that caused moms to buy their own Game Boys. The one that caused many of us to report seeing falling blocks on our inner eyelids upon attempting to fall asleep. It was first pack-in game when the Game Boy was released, and in many ways proved to be a killer app. So what would be the smart thing to do then? Make a whole bunch of variants for each Game Boy system of course. Although the original Game Boy is the biggest perpetuation of Tetris-fever, even its colorized big brothers got in on the fun. Let's take a look shall we?

On the last episode of DRAGON! BA--I mean, Finding Nintendo, Redd had said--Nah, I'm just messing with you all. Dragon Ball Z is a good anime, but it takes too long to make it's point. Heh. Anyway, as you all know, I mentioned getting a Power Glove from someone in Japan. That fell through. However, this morning, I made just enough money to buy one. Hopefully, this one doesn't pull an eBay on me and I actually get it. That said, when I get it, I'm gonna post pictures of it. That's it for now. Look forward to the next post. Again, sorry for another short post. My next ones will be better.

As you all know, my last Quest for a Power Glove did not go over so well. I bought one, and the seller refunded my money, as he had already sold it to someone else. The hope that I would get another chance was slim.
I was on Racketboy one morning at around 10:00 AM, and I noticed a new message in my PM Inbox. I figured that it was just another user inquiring about one of the items on my Sell List, as that's what I most often receive PMs about. I quickly noticed that it was about something else. Opening the message, the user who sent it was explaining that Power Gloves were super cheap in Japan. I quickly saw his point, and he offered to send me one, should I compensate him for it.
Fast forward to the next day, he tells me that he's going to the store tomorrow. So I waited for the next day.
Fast forward to today, he tells me he called the store, but the person working there didn't seem to know what he was talking about (He said that the person working there sounded young). Anyway, he said that he'd stop by there "soon". As of writing this entry, I am eagerly awaiting his next message.
I will continue to provide updates here as I get messages from him. Here's hoping I get it.

I was playing Strider on my Mega Drive today (my SNES still hasn't arrived) and it made me think how much emulation has contributed to expanding the Retro Gaming market and its community. I wouldn't have bought Strider if I didn't have the chance to try it out on an emulator first, you see. So I decided to share my thoughts on emulation and its ethical dilemmas (the legal dilemmas are up to the judges to decide).
First a quick history lesson. Console emulation on PC was first achieved in the 90s. During the decade's final years (96-99) there were emulators released for the NES, SNES and Mega Drive. Even more shockingly 1999 saw the release of Bleem and UltraHLE, emulators for the Playstion and N64 respectivly. Now one can't argue with the fact that emulators for systems still in production would have been used mostly for piracy, so of course legal battles followed.
Meanwhile, a vast number of emulation and rom sharing sites were appearing all over the place and the old machines, that had been decommissioned by their manufacturers were seeing renewed interest, and a huge influx of new fans.
Everyone still had slow PSTN internet connections at the time (for those too young to remember this, I envy you. The jjjzzzjjzzzzzzjjj of connecting to the internet is a sound I will never miss, although it still makes me smile/laugh when I hear it in parodies) so downloading something as big as a PSone game was a pain, so at the time emulation sites mainly focused on cartridge consoles, specially the NES, SNES and Mega Drive (some sites were afraid to carry N64 roms due to possible legal action from Nintendo).
It was a prosperous time for emulation forums and the emulation scene in general. People who had downloaded an emulator to play those popular games from their childhoods, were trying new stuff. Games that most people hadn't heard of before, were the hot topic. Chrono Trigger finally got the giant fanbase it deserves and people finally got to try out obscure Japanese shooters they hadn't heard of before. The discussions about these games went on and on for many forum pages, and every month it seemed there would be a "new" game everyone was trying and loving.
[img width=350 height=307]http://pressthebuttons.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452033569e20120a54f77a2970b-800wi[/img]
This led to the creation of the rom hacking community. From level hacks for Super Mario World, to the fan translations of FF5 and 6 (even though it had been officially released in the West, fans wrote a more accurate translation of the game's script) we retro gamers ow a lot to these people for taking the time to give us new experiences for the old games we love, or in the case of translation patches, giving us the option of playing games we would not be able to otherwise.
But the effect the emulation scene that I want to talk about, is the creation of the Retro Community. Simply put the Retro Gaming Community wouldn't have had so many members if it wasn't for emulation. Even though the most popular games keep getting ported to newer systems, there are tons of games either stuck in licensing limbo, or even worse with very little fan following to be worth porting to new consoles. What breathes life to these game's fanbase and the retro gaming community in general, is that every gamer that comes across their first emulator, has his/her interest piqued by the more common gems and after they are done with them, they want to see more of what these old consoles have to offer. Then they come across the more obscure gems, and after playing them they start to warm up to the idea of owning one of these old consoles and try playing these games like they were meant to.

The past 5 years, Retro Gaming associated sites and shops have bloomed. Part of it is because of the expansion of the internet into almost every household, but I believe emulators played a big part in it as well. 2005 saw the release of the first issue of an actual printed magazine dedicated to Retro Gaming (http://www.retrogamer.net/). Technically this would have been possible in the 90s as well, since by 95 there were 20 years of mainstream retro gaming to cover. But the Retro Community wasn't big enough. What has created a viable market for such a magazine to exist, is in my opinion the vast expansion of the community in the past decade, thanks to emulators.
[img width=350 height=452]http://www.retrogamer.net/issues/RG_051.jpg[/img]
Even Nintendo should be thankful to the emulation scene. Simply put, no one would have cared that Sin and Punishment was being released on the Wii's virtual console, if it hadn't made a name for itself in the emulation scene. While they might have lost a couple of sales to people who just pirate old classics, there are a bunch of gamers who buy these rare gems on VC, because they first tried them out on an emulator.
So even though using emulators for machines/games you don't own is a form of piracy, I believe that in general, they have done more good than harm to the industry. I also want to add that it's thanks to emulation that I was exposed to the SNES's magnificent hidden library, which made me buy one.
[img width=512 height=448]http://retrojrpg.thefannish.org/wp-content/uploads/retrojrpg.thefannish.org/2010/10/robotrek_robot.png[/img]
So what is your favorite system/game you found out about thanks to emulation? Mine is the Megaman X series (somehow I ended up not owning a console with Megaman games on it until I got the GBA in 2002) and Robotrek.

As you all know, I love all things Nintendo, but what I love the most out of all my Nintendo Stuff is my NES Collection. It's not that big, but it's getting there. Here's some pictures of it.

I do have lots of other Nintendo Merchandise, but this just happens to be my favorite stuff. I have some pretty obscure stuff, like a Virtual Boy and a Nintendo Anniversary Game Boy Micro. I even have the Super Mario Bros. Movie on DVD! Your probably thinking that I'm crazy for owning that, but I think it's pretty good, and when someone tells me otherwise, I just shrug it off and tell them that that's they're opinion and that it's fine with me. Fun Fact: There's a Super Mario Bros. Anime (Japanese Animation) in Japan, but from what I understand, it was only released on VHS, and it's really hard to find now. Anyway, this post was basically just to show you all my collection of NES Stuff, so I'm gonna stop writing here.
Thanks for reading!
Double Dragon. That's all you need to say and 30-year old dudes turn into 10-year old ninjas. The first two NES games are iconic. As Billy and Jimmy Lee you made your way through some mean streets and beat the tar out of anyone who crossed your path. Sure they were stripped way down in comparison to the arcades. But honestly they were so cool that it didn't matter. Who needed the arcade, man? Not me. And not a whole slew of other kids who blew the time after school and before dinner with some NES Double Dragon.
Now what we didn't know back then was that video games were a business. And sometimes games materialized not because they were good and deserved to exist, but instead because they'd make somebody else some money. It was a good lesson for us though. I know the 10-year old me had to learn that sometimes life just wasn't fair. Sometimes it punched your girlfriend in the stomach and threw her over its shoulder and carried her off fireman-style and then you and your brother had to go rescue her and then sometimes even he was a jerk too!

The first Double Dragon game was ported to the Game Boy in 1990 by Tecmo, and it's actually kind of good. It's basically a miniaturized version of the NES game. It's got different level layouts, but they're basically all inspired by levels from the NES game. All of the characters from the NES release are also pretty much recognizable here as well. Of course it's not as good as the cult-classic, but it actually does a great job of being what it sets out to be: a portable substitute. It knows that it's a little-brother, and it's okay with that identity. If you want to have a good time playing a brief version of Double Dragon, well here it is.

Then things got worse. You see the NES release of Double Dragon II was a huge hit. It remains the coolest game in the series. Just owning the cartridge literally figuratively put hair on your chest. So Acclaim knew they had to release a Game Boy port of the game. They had two options: (1) they could pay a developer to re-create the awesome experience of Double Dragon II on the Game Boy in a similar fashion to the first GB game. Or (2) they could just take a really abysmal River City Ransom sequel that had already been released in Japan, change the sprites to look like a Double Dragon game, keep all the horrible gameplay and call it Double Dragon II. Guess which one they felt would be more cost-effective?
However Double Dragon II does have one thing going for it; it's not Double Dragon 3: The Arcade Game.

Double Dragon 3: The Arcade Game is bad. I mean really bad. Like if you ever find yourself on a long car-ride with a Game Boy that has this game loaded in it, you'll just start counting cars instead. It's biggest problem is the AI. You will be constantly surrounded by unmerciful enemies that will beat you to death really quickly. And considering the poor controls, you really have no choice but to just take it.

After two total letdowns, it's surprising that the Double Dragon license lived on on the Game Boy, but surprisingly Battletoads/Double Dragon actually turned out pretty good. It's an ambitious port of the SNES title, and features all three 'toads along with both Lees as playable characters. The levels take cues from both series, and the gameplay is actually quite good on the Game Boy. Of course this comes from experience on the part of Tradewest who had already published two excellent Battletoads games on the Game Boy. If anything, they were kind enough to pull the Double Dragon name out of the mud with this one.
And then nothing happened for ten years.

In 2003 Double Dragon Advance was published by Atlus for the GBA. This came as a total shock as the series had been dead on Game Boy systems for the last decade. Even as other classic NES titles like Super Mario Bros., Ghosts 'N Goblins, and 1942 were seeing re-releases on the portable-NES-ish Game Boy Color, nobody dared bring up Double Dragon. So what a relief this one was when it finally saw the light of day. It was actually a very faithful port of the arcade original which is actually quite impressive in and of itself, considering the NES version being the most recognized in this day and age. Though this would prove to be the final Game Boy-related release for the series, at least it went out on the sort of dignified high-note that the series deserves.
This is the not-so-happy story of my quest to obtain a Power Glove.
Many retro gamers are aware of the existence of an item for the NES called the Power Glove. I first discovered this item as a kid, while watching the movie Beethoven (which is really good by the way). It had appeared in the film, being used by one of the kids to play Super Mario Bros. 3. Being just a kid, I thought it was the coolest thing in the world, and I desired one.
Unfortunately, I could not acquire one at this point in my life, because if I recall correctly, they were no longer being sold, as it was not exactly a hot item. So I waited...
Fast forward to the year 2010, I finally saw my chance: There was a complete one, box and all, listed on eBay. I wanted it so bad, that I went on Racketboy, and heavily advertised my sale thread in the IRC Chat Room, which is something I normally don't do, not wanting to put pressure on my customers and all. Luckily for me though, I had stuff that they wanted, and thanks to two customers in particular, I had reached my goal of 80 Dollars, which would allow me to buy it and cover the shipping charges. Take note that I don't have a steady job at the moment, so this kind of cash was not exactly easy to get.
I hurried to eBay, and quickly purchased it. Victory was finally mine...
...So I thought anyway.
About a week passed, and I was waiting rather impatiently for the mail, hoping it would arrive that day. The mail came, but there was no Power Glove. I was growing concerned, so I decided to sign into my eBay Account and send the seller a message, asking if they had shipped it yet.
Before I could start writing the message though, I noticed that I had a new message myself. I decided to check it first. Upon arriving at my inbox, I saw that it was from the seller. I opened it, and was greeted with this:
"I am sorry, but I am going to have to refund your payment for the boxed power glove. I had this item for sale on another site simultaneously with the listing on eBay. It was purchased by a different buyer prior to your purchase here. I normaly don't list on multiple sites, but had listed this on Amazon months ago and to be honest, I had forgotten that it was even on there when I listed it on eBay. I am really sorry for your inconvience in this matter. Thanks for your understanding."
After reading it, I was at a complete loss for words. The item I had worked so hard to obtain, and for so long, was taken away from me in the most unfair way possible. I actually sat there, reading the message over and over again for at least 5 minutes before my anger kicked in.
I just found this to be so wrong on so many levels. Maybe this was just another lost sale to the seller, but to me it was more. Of course, the seller didn't know that, but I was still angry, and to this day, that anger lasts.
Having 80 Dollars in my Paypal Account again, I decided to look for another one. I found a few, but they were all listed at higher prices than what I could afford. I searched for days, but nothing came up, so I finally spent the money on some other NES Accessories.
As I said before, to this day, I am still enraged, and what fuels that rage even higher is the fact that there's not a thing I can do about this. That seller will probably do this to other, unsuspecting customers, and I can't even warn them.
To this day, I continue to search for a Power Glove, despite my fellow Racketboy Member's protests against it. Since I have no money, I can only hope someone will trade me one, which slims down the chances of getting one even further.
Unfortunately, I'm left with the conclusion that I may never get one, but being as stubborn as I am, I refuse to give up until the very end.
Thanks for reading.
Perhaps the most infamous game on the NES is Action 52, despite not being that well known. This game contains 52 Games in one NES Cart, and many of the games are of different genres. Sounds like good fun, yes? Ha Ha Ha...THAT'S WRONG! 
Action 52 has got to be the worst thing I have ever seen to appear on the beloved NES. The games are buggy, difficult, and just not much fun. However, the real reason I'm covering this game today is because of Number 52 on the cart: The Cheetahmen.
Cheetahmen was the result of some genius' idea to cash in on the whole animal hero craze from the 90s. Needless to say, that someone found that it was harder to accomplish than expected. A whole line of merchandise was planned for Cheetahmen, but due to Action 52's failure, it all fell through. Cheetahmen is a disgrace, not just to gaming, but to everything in general. It's just...wrong.
Oh, and it doesn't stop there. Active Enterprises, the Developer of Action 52 got the bright idea to develop a sequel, Cheetahmen II.
Fortunately, this tragedy was stopped. Despite the game being mostly complete, A.E. decided not to release it, and for good reason. The world was safe from the Cheetahmen once and for all...right? WRONG...AGAIN!
In 1996, someone discovered 1,000+ Copies of the game in a warehouse. Oh, joy.
They were put up for sale on the secondary market, and sold rather quickly. Now, why would anyone want this game? It's simple: The number of copies of it. There were not many, and now it is now very hard to find. In fact, one copy sold for over 1000 Dollars, and a box of the game sold for over 400 Dollars. Needless to say, this game is valuable, despite it's lack of quality.
So, you may be asking yourself: Is there ANYTHING good about Action 52? Yeah. The cartridge looks pretty cool. Here's a picture of it.
[img width=300 height=306]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a136/DarkTheThief/action_52_nes_game.jpg[/img]
Anyway, on with the story. I decided that I want to own this game, if only for the reason that I'm trying to get as many NES Games as humanly possible. Knowing that it was an awful game, I figured I could find it cheap on eBay. I could not have been more wrong. It was 400 Dollars. Of course, I could never afford this, so I'm left with the option to get a Repro of it, if making one is even possible.
Something else comes to mind: ROMhacking has made many unplayable games playable and actually fun over the years. Sometimes I think to myself, what if someone hacked Action 52 and fixed it? Would it really be any better? Only time will tell if this happens.
On a funnier note, check out the following video. It's a Cheetahmen II Rap made by the very talented Duane and Brand0.
Man, these games are awful. I honestly feel sorry for anyone who has played either of them.
That's it. Thanks for reading!
What a night tonight was. After two weeks or so of practice, I finally completed The Adventures of Bayou Billy for the NES. This was no picnic, believe me. In fact, it was practically a nightmare. In fact, if not for some tips from Racketboy Members and a LOT of Soda, I couldn't have done it. Where to begin...
I found out about this game about two months ago, but I don't remember how. Anyway, acting on pure impulse, I picked up a complete copy on eBay fairly cheap. I got it 4 days later, and booted it up. Of course, I was not aware that this game was tougher than Battletoads, so I got my ass handed to me several times. It was then that I decided that I would beat it no matter what.
From that point on, I practiced and tried to memorize every stage. That did not go well, so I stopped for a bit. Some time later, I picked it back up and tried again. After two weeks, I felt that I had everything memorized, save for the last level, and prepared for the Great Bayou Battle.
After many game overs, I finally got to the end. I saw what I thought was the last boss and proceeded to whip the shit out of him. Literally. See, I had picked up a whip for a weapon earlier, and...well, you get the point. I beat him, thinking it was over, and moved on. Before I knew it, two goons in robotic armor showed up and returned the favor. Fortunately, I had racked up a few lives, but they still wore me down to one life. Barely any health remaining, I scored a VERY lucky hit and killed them. Finally, I was treated to the (rather anti-climactic) ending. Nonetheless, I was pretty freaking happy.
Anyway, the game beaten, I put it back among my collection, and decided that I would NOT do that again. Why I did it in the first place is still a mystery, even to me. Maybe I was trying to prove a point, maybe I was just trying to find a great challenge. Who knows. Anyway, that's my story. Thanks for reading!
Hey everyone,
So I have not done crap on this site for a few months, and with good reason. I took a job a few months back that was going to have me travelling all through the country as an exchange consultant. That was not my cup of tea which I found out after two short weeks of doing this job, so I quit.
I went back home and went to the interviews I had lined up before I even left Atlanta. None of these interviews panned out, and this made me nervous naturally. Finally I went on an interview with a company that I am currently working with as an IT consultant at their firm. This leaves me with lots of hours since I have over an hour commute each way, and work 8a-5p normally (sometimes longer as needed).
With all that I have learned something about myself that I didn't know before. I cannot live without my toys, living out of a suitcase is not possible with me lol.
Anyway, the jist of this is that my life has done a 180 from a couple months ago, and now I am moving into my new penthouse apt this Saturday, so I'm psyched!
It's been a VERY long time since the NES was first released where I live (USA). That being said, if you find a Front Loader NES, odds are it won't work right, or at all for that matter. This is the story of my search for a working NES.
It all started last year, on Christmas. I had received an NES Game called Ultima: Quest of the Avatar. However, I had no way to play it, as I did not own an NES. Thus, my search began...
I first went to the Mall in town, as it had a retro store called Gamepad within. They had an NES, but when they plugged it in to test it, it did not work. Disappointed, I decided to buy Star Fox for the SNES. I got home, and it did not work, no matter what I did. I was pretty mad, so I went on Facebook, and posted a message going against them.
3 Days Later, I found out about another retro store in town, run by a man under the alias, Sage Mantis. I figured it couldn't hurt to try, so I went out there and bought an NES...It didn't work. The next day, I exchanged it for another...It also didn't work. Sage Mantis said that he was not aware of this, and gave me my money back.
I continued to search for an NES, and found several on eBay, but they were all quite expensive, especially the top loaders. Angry, I finally settled with buying a hardware clone. However, that hasn't stopped me in searching for an NES. Today, I continue my search in hopes that I will find a working one someday.
At one point, I had a chance to get one from a good friend of mine on a site called Racketboy, but certain events prevented it.
Someday, NES, I will find you. As the new Captain N, I will never give up my search.
Thanks for reading!

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.
