Some classic games never lose their magic, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is a perfect example. Released for the Super Nintendo, this legendary adventure takes players into a fascinating world filled with mysterious dungeons, hidden treasures, dangerous enemies, and unforgettable challenges.
Played a few demos and been mainlining a couple games, including
Thought I'd do the 90s as a Most Wanted series instead of trying to list everything. Here's what I'm most interested in from this year.
Six more PS3 games gone through in my collection this week. The end is in sight. I've already organized all my Wii games for when I switch to that system. Here's this week's plays.
I’m not really big into sports video games, so my favorites are few and far between. For the longest time my favorite sports game was Super Dodge Ball on the NES, that is until Wii Sports came along. The intuitive motion controlled pick up and play nature just won me over, and the sequels have ranged from way better (Wii Sports Resort) to not near as good (Wii Sports Club on Wii U). I didn’t think Nintendo Switch Sports was AS bad as everyone said it was, but it still could’ve used some improvement. And boy howdy they sure did that with this game! I will say the title is horrible. I have a feeling Nintendo is going to get a lot of confused customer calls thinking this is a Switch game, but make no mistake, this is only for Switch 2. I know the title is already a mouthful, but they really should’ve called it Nintendo Switch 2 Sports Resort. Anyway, it’s a shame that the Ocarina of Time remake is releasing so close to this one, because this game deserves to be considered a big holiday title as well. So I thought I’d go over everything Nintendo Switch Sports Resort has to offer.
Come on over and play some NES! Here's what I got (but not really because most of these I need to get).
I’ve cooked up a batch of GamerDad reviews I’ve recently written, so please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. And after you read all the reviews in this feast, you should have nice fat bellies! Bon Appetit!
My trek through the 90s starts tomorrow, but what the heck. I decided to break up each year into multiple blogs to cover more games and make it as fun as I can. Here are some arcade games I wish I had played in 1990.
I'm finally back in the gaming groove this week and got some good time in on two more PS3 games.
Gotta a little break from gaming this mid-weekend of mine, and so here's what I've done so far.
Last year of the 80s and nearly the end of October. I'll be remembering the 90s in November, but this is '89 and what I recall most fondly (or wish to play now in some cases).
It dawned on me I haven't really replayed all the God of War games on PS3, and I thought I'd add the first two Skylanders games to the list for trophy hunting reasons, and... REASONS!
More car trouble, and so less gaming, contrary to what might be expected. I game at MK's place, and if it's hard to get there - takes me an hour by bus -, I don't game. But I got a mostly full day in and actually finished a game for once. Read on.
The first time Kratos and Atreus head into Svartalfheim, the story keeps you moving fast enough that a lot of side content slips by. The Myrkr Tunnels are one of the worst offenders. You come through them on your second trip to the realm, the story pulls you forward, and by the time you think about going back you have no idea how to get in again.
Halloween is coming up soon, and I’ve got some treats for you! No tricks! It’s a new batch of game reviews I’ve recently written at GamerDad! Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
Not so many games really. Actually, my favorite thing this year wasn't games but audio recording. My best friend and I would get together in breaks from our different colleges and go on road trips. Our favorite thing was to record ourselves doing skits or other nonsense on cassette tapes while listening to our favorite music. I still have them, some 30 or so. I converted them to CDs in the early 2000s and stored them as files on a now defunct hard drive. However, MK and I would go to arcades still here and there. I watched a lot of movies as well.
1986 was the year I went to college which likely distracted me from the NES and SMS releases. I was most concerned with my Apple computer that year, but I'll go through all I've subsequently gotten into and some notable facts (notable to me anyway).
I am a huge believer in the God of War. Aries, not Kratos. Where is my Aries game?
1985 was a little light in gaming for me but it was notable to most of us in the west as the year the NES was test marketed in the U.S. that October (and nationwide in Sept. '86). I was unaware but it can't go unmentioned. Here's everything I remember clearly.
I've been without a car this week which has made it hard to get to MK's for gaming, but I managed it one day by bus. Here are the results.
