Well, you don't HAVE to. I could just as easily control the bird myself. The only time that got annoying was when I happened to be on stairs.

Game actually sounds pretty cool. Too bad I won't get to the S's anytime soon. lol

>>1306353
I agree. I don't think we get this kind of stuff over here that often. Boring ones like Monopoly or Battleship maybe, but very rarely anything like this.

No idea, Anon. But if you're interested in things like that, then you might find this interesting.

No problem, Anon.

You could always just download a goodset for a system. Those are as solid as you can probably get.

>>1306132
Thanks. I get my goodsets from Emuparadise. It has a lot of alternative versions and hacks too, but each game is bundled up in rars, so your shit doesn't get all cluttered.

>>1306059
Well, I figured that it'd be easier with two people. However, I didn't have anybody to play with, so I just went solo.

This game actually looked kinda neat. It's a board game that is kinda like LIFE, but with an alien invasion backdrop. Apparently the game has five rounds, but I only played until the second. It's in Japanese and there is quite a lot of text, so I was lost for a large majority of it.

Threads of Fate?

Makes since, although I probably would have mentioned it in the video description.

Just a horse racing simulation. And I talk in this one. It's not very good, but I've had people telling me to commentate, so here is a sample. You guys can decide whether or not you want me to continue doing so. I'm fine with doing it either way.

>>1303962
Well, I'm equally bad at both of them. So...I'd have to say that I prefer the second just for the fact that it had music and not just sound effects that slightly resemble music.

Not any better at this one then I was the last. If it didn't have that energy meter and you died by getting hit once...I'd be screwed with this title.

I'm notorious for being bad at scrolling shooters. For some reason I just can't get the hang of them. Maybe I have a problem with focusing on one point and not watching the entire screen. Or...maybe I just plain out suck at this genre. I ended up doing okay, I guess, on this run. Even though I died ridiculously fast near the ending of the video.

Thanks. I'd like to try and do more then the NES after awhile, but I figured it'd make a good starting point.

>>1302921
Thanks. I plan to do this for quite awhile. There may be pauses every now and then, but this has basically become a hobby of mine.

>>1302416
Interesting. Sounds like it'd be more fun then the NES version, that's for sure.

>>1302472
I see. It looks better then the NES version, but I still think the level differences would fuck with me.

>>1302327
So I've heard. The graphics definitely look crisper. I wonder if the control is any better.

Quite possibly the first "Xtreme" sports title released on home console. And it shows. It's a skateboarding title and the handling sucks. There are four events to choose from and your move set seems to be limited to spinning in circles and a hand-plant. That's some exciting shit. I could barely even land a fall from a ledge, much less land a damn spin. It also doesn't help that you're on a time limit. So you better master those spins fast or you're gonna have to start from scratch...A LOT.

Another short video. This one is in Japanese and had lots and lots of text. I had to look it up and found out that it's a fortune-telling simulator. And it's only good for the year 1989. Sounds like fun.

This is a very short video. If you watch it, you'll probably figure out why I didn't play it for long.

>>1301256
Yeah, it's alright. I'm sure there are better retro football games out there, though.

It's a classic arcade-style American Football game. I normally hate playing sports titles, but I actually managed to sit down and play through an entire match. Granted, I played on the easiest difficulty and the AI was dumber then a box of rocks, but there you go.

It's been a long ass time, but I believe that Spellcraft: Aspects of Valor for SNES/DOS might be to your liking.

I imagine there is. It just seems like a boring title. There isn't even any music in there to listen to.

>>1300772
I plan to if it's a title worth giving that much time. 8 Eyes was cut short mostly because of the time I started it. It was late and I was starting to pass out in my chair. And games like 3D Block is not suitable for playing that long.

>>1300824
No, I'm just going down the list alphabetically. And Spain is definitely the easiest. The game has a Megaman effect going for it. Beat a boss and get a sword strong against another boss, etc.
