Weird Japanese Game Commercials

Japan seems to have these really neat commercials for games. They're off the wall crazy and actually have a bit of money and creativity behind them! Enjoy:


Metroid



Metroid 2



Super Metroid




Legend of Zelda



Resident Evil 2 (Directed by George A. Romero)





Dr. Mario

Link's Awakening

The Uncanny X-MEN - Arcade

The days when you had to leave your house to play games that didn't have the main character 2 blocks high with a block sticking out for its gun. People flocked to the arcades for what felt like at the time, graphics that were almost cartoon like. It was great visuals compounded with sounds and speaking voices. Even Stephen Hawkins voice coming from a game was cool for its time. I remember this game in the arcades and not knowing who the x-men were. But it looked cool has hell and I was willing to spend every quarter I had into it.

For those who don't know, the X-men arcade could have up to 6 people playing all at once, each with a different X-men. Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus and Dazzler. They all could jump, kick, punch and each had a different super power which was an extension of their mutant powers. Although at the time, it seemed normal to me, but once I found out who the x-men were and what there powers were, I never understood Colossus power in the game. He could power up and radiate a dome around him. This yellow dome could hit people all around him. WHAT!!?? I didn't see a yellow dome in the movie X-men 3, thats probable why it didn't do so well in the theater, if only he could radiate yellow domes then the movie would have done better.

The gameplay was the same for each level. Enemies would flood the screen, you punch your way through the level and even throw the bad guys into one another, thats neat. Then at the end you get to fight a Boss which was one of many X-men enemies. White Queen, Juggernaut, Blob, Pyro, Wendigo and Magneto are the ones that I remember.



The playing curve is what makes this game a monster quarter eater. The first level is pretty tame and any novice gamer can come in enjoy their quarters worth of gameplay. Maybe they can beat the boss on their first or second try. After that, its clear that the game developers said, ok, they had their fun, now we need to make money. So if these monkeys want to see and play the rest of the game, they better have a small bank on their backs. The gameplay gets crazy. I'm dieing every 10-15 secs. Its so crazy later on in the game, that I believe there is no skill required to beat the game. As long has you have the money to keep continuing, you and the Pope can both be playing the game, and if the Pope has more money that you, well, I guess the Pope will be winning.


I've tried to find a port of this game so I can play on my computer, I'm sure that I could find one if I looked hard enough. But Its definitely a game that I remember liking up to a point, after that , I knew I didn't have enough money to see what happens. So for the most part I play a game or two and then watch the other kids sink their quarters in the game and see how far they get. Fun, Hard has hell.

note( Don't be fooled by the video thinking that its easy, if you watch closely you can see that his life bar keeps healing.This does not happen in the game. Its probable moded)

SeaQuest - Atari 2600

Wow, this is old. I can't use what I know now to review or talk about this game. So I will let my 6 year old inner child tell this story.

I got an Atari 2600 for Christmas, it was neat. I had a few games for it. I don't know how much Atari games costs, but I do know that I can get a bag of chips and a bar and a bottle or orange crush all for a $1.50. One of my joysticks broke so I got a new one that looked like the flight stick from Airwolf. It has 2 buttons on it. 2!! But it really doesn't matter cause they both did the same thing.


My Dad got me a new game called SeaQuest, you drive around in a sub and you have to pick up these divers before you run out of air. Once you get all of them you surface and move on to the next level. But has you get further into the game, there are sharks and giant guppies and mini bad subs that try to kill you. They get faster and faster with each level and more and more of them come out. AND they are different colors, there is even 2 players. Once I almost got to 200,000 points.

But it was my uncle that was really good at the game. He could get up so far that I couldn't even tell which ones were the bad guys and which was him, because there were so many things on the screen at once and they were all moving so fast. He came up everyday for a whole week to play while I lay sick on the couch watching and mom yelling at me that the tv will burn my sick eyes if I don't let them rest by looking at the inside of my eyelids.

I wasn't allowed to play it very much, because we only had one tv and we had to share with moms soaps and the news in the evening. My mom would tell me to go outside and play when they were watching tv and I couldn't play Atari. Personally I think she rather me play Atari if she knew the alternative was Rock Tag. We should all be dead, but god bless a child's weak throwing arm.

Its a really fun game, much better than ET, I still don't know (WTF) to do in that game. I hope they come out with SeaQuest 2.

8/10

Yeah, it was a great childhood memory. To refresh my memories of all these Atari games I picked up Atari Anthologies. Its a great game for old school gamers, if you are in to that sorta thing. Playing seaquest again, is fun for about 10 min then I have to move on. But I always look back on my Atari Experiences with fond memories.

Star Trek Encounters - PS2

Picked this up in the bargain bin for $7.00. It can't be that bad, can it? You start off seeing that you have different era's that you can choose to do missions in. The recently canceled era with the guy from Quantum Leap, Kirk, Picard, the stupid stationary Deep Space Nine and Voyager. As a bonus they throw in a level named Sovereign, which is Enterprise E. This all seems very interesting when you first start and you have to finished one era before it will allow you to go to the next. Nothing wrong with that, its all cool.

So the game plays like a top down shoot em up. Much like the old Arcade game, SMASH TV. Only you are a Star Trek ship and not some crazy dude with a gun.You can lock on multiple targets, shoot phasers or disrupters and fire torpedoes , distribute your power to shields, weapons, sensors, engines and all that cool stuff ya seen on tv or the movies. Again, all this sounds cool (or at least to me) in theory.

When the missions finally do start, all the sounds of phazers and photons torpedoes firing is pretty good at capturing a Star Trek ship battle. Again, it seems so far that I am enjoying myself. But that all ends with the next mission. Again I do the same things over and over.I do enjoy flying around and shooting phazers and torpedoes, but there has to be a little more. So what does the game do, its adds timers to the missions. GREAT...now I have a timed battle. They vary it up with track a ships warp signature, the bad thing is, you actually feel has if you are traveling across the nothingness of space to find the ship. Flying through space with nothing to do but follow a green blip is not gaming.


Then the mother of all fuckups. When I get to the Voyager missions, the game has been pretty much, level starts, I shoot , follow that guy, kill this, mission ends. Until one disgruntle game designer musta said, all this gameplay is pretty easy. I'll give them something to whine about (has if the actually game wasn't bad enough) and you do a level where you have to race through warp conduits and make it to the end before another ship. There comes a point at every game, where what you are doing is no longer fun. It was the 2nd time I tried this level and it was no longer fun, BUT, it was on the 37th try that I finally got pass this stupid level. WHAT..37..theres not suppose to be a try 37 on any today games unless you put it on stupid hard difficulty!!

Anywho, the game is beat, you unlock a boat load of ships, some levels, and the only fun you get outta this game is playing it on mulitplayer, where you and another friend can take on loads of enemy ships together or test the limits of different era ships against eachother. But for $7.00, one shouldn't complain....much.

SplatterHouse- tb16/Genesis

These three games came out in the early 90's by Namco, and they were kick ass. Each game had a very strange soundtrack that eeirly fit each game and the graphics were very good and gory for the time.

The first game hit arcades and later was ported over to the TurboGrafx 16. Unfortunatly the violence was tonned down and also suffered from the turbografx not being able to render the picture and sounds as nice as its arcade predecesor. Still the gameplay remained the same and it was still a great buy!

So get this> Your girlfriend has been kidnapped by monsters in a crazy mansion and Rick (you) must battle your way deep into said mansion to save her. Your weapon..... your fists. That's right... when a monster pops up punch that fucker right in the face! Awesome.


Your fists arn't your only weapon. You'll find 2x4's, machette's, shotguns, baseball bats, and other kinds of blunt objects to beat your way through piles of monsters.



Some of the stages are just downright disturbing. For instance Stage 6 in the first game has you fighting in "The womb" where you punch your way through fetus monsters and egg... things. One stage has you battle your girlfriend who turns into a really ugly monster.

The game also pays tribute to some great old horror films as well (The Deadly Spawn, Friday the 13th, Evil Dead, and Re-Animator, just to name a few.)

The first two games were pretty straight-forward in their gameplay but the third one really took the fighting to a whole new level. SplatterHouse 3 had a very different combat system and also had a map and different routes

to take to save your family. In my opinion it just wasn't as good as the first two, but still well worth playing.

The second game in the series was my personal favorite and here's hoping it sees a release soon on the Virtual Console (since the first one already found it's way on there.)

Kid Chameleon - Sega Genesis

I got this game the same Christmas that I also got Tazmania. So it was a good year for games, or at least thats what I remember. I remember seeing the commercial for this and really wanting it. And this year, I didn't do what I did other times and hope my parents would pick up on the hints for what game I wanted. I outright said, "THIS ONE PLEASE". And yayy, I got it.

I don't know how many people have done this, maybe its only people who can really be called gamers. But do you know what I mean when I say, "I played until my eyes hurt". Now I didn't finish this game the first day I got it the first time outta the case. There were many sessions of swearing and throwing the controller until I became adept enough to really get far into the levels. But the day that I did finish it, I started it late morning and I finished the game around 10:00 that same night. I play, pause the game and eat,( learned my lesson from Simon's Quest, when mom calls food, you leave and eat food) go back and play, go pee, play some more. Stop to rub my eyes because I feel like I haven't blinked in 2 hrs. Shit my pants for almost dieing and starting the whole thing over a couple of times. And a great sense of relief when it was finally done, not just the satisfaction for finishing a game, but thank the god its done, cause I was tired from looking at the screen.


Well, all of this and I haven't said one thing about the game itself. I posted a commercial to let you see what it really entails, but it was and still is a really fun game. The best thing about it, what I remember telling friends, it was 1800 levels. But what the game doesn't tell you is that you could probable finish the game after 400 levels. But its not really levels, what it is are different scenarios (100 to be exact)woods, swamp, temple etc and each of these hold a X amount of levels of screens. Its still alot. Due to all the warps and different exist on a level. Each one takes you to a different world a different path. I enjoyed that, if I kept dieing on one level, I just go back and take a different path and try that one instead.

The main character was a guy who could get different helmets and get different powers depending on the helmet he was wearing. A samurai , a ghost rider guy in a tank, crazy hockey mask type guy who throws axes are just a few. I think there are around 9 or 10 different helmets you can get. They are all pretty helpful , but has you go through the harder levels, it defiantly helps to have the right helmet for the job, other wise there will be lots of LOUD WORDS and flailing about.

I just recently started playing this game again, and its not like other games of its time, where I turn it on and 15 min later, I am sick of it.. I really enjoy playing this game. .Its fun, the levels are short but there are so many of them that it doesn't seem repetitive. If you've never played this game, I would suggest giving it a try.

A hearty 8/10

Lost Planet - PS3

YAYY!. When I first saw this coming out for the XBOX 360 I wanted to play it. Alas, I don't have a 360. Then they announced, almost a year maybe more later that it was coming out for the PS3. I got excited again, yayyy!. They even released a playable demo online. So I jumped on that to get my first taste of LOST PLANET!.

Upon checking out the demo, I found out that it was for multiplayer only. That didn't bother me. I didn't care, I was going to play in a Hoth like environment with Starship trooper type bugs. That was my hope. But there are no bugs in multiplayer, only humans. I guess that will do. I get my first taste of lost planet.

I load up the level and I start pushing buttons to see what does what. X is shoot. O is jump, etc etc. But in my midst of figuring out buttons, a guy on the opposite team took advantage of me standing their and flicking though the buttons to shoot me in the head. BLAH..what ever, I'm just learning , no biggie. I'm killed at least another 2 times while I stand their getting used to the buttons.

After that I figure I better start moving, I take 2 steps and fall down dead. Great!I respawn and attempt to move again, this time I make it 5 steps before a grenade comes flying over a snowbank and lands next to me. BOOM!! Ok, now, time to get serious. I'm better than this (??)



Several attempts to get over snowbanks, latch on to ledges , get into big robots, all ended with me getting blasted to bits. WHat the hell!. This pattern went on for I would say ..15-20 min. Until the very end, I say frig it and run kamikaze into the enemies and shoot and throw everything in a attempt to kill something, anything. So, if I didn't die every 10 secs, then maybe I would have enjoyed my online demo experience with Lost Planet.

So it was with that,I decided not to purchase Lost Planet. But my mind was changed again, when I saw the price and it was 35$. Thats pretty damn cheap for a PS3 game. So I got it. I haven't played it yet, its sorta just sitting there and mocking me. But I'm sure it will be good. So I guess I can't give it a score. BUT..I can give a score of what I think how much fun,"I WILL HAVE". So based on that, mmmmm I think I will have 5 to 6 points of fun outta 10. That way if its better, AWESOME. if not, I won't be disappointed.

GOW2 - The 30 sec (or so) Game Experience

Again, another game Experience. This time just a small part of the game gets the attention. A very frustrating part.

Mystery Quest - NES

What is this game you ask. This is what happens when you let your mom pick out a game for you. So the next time your mom ask you what game do you want for Christmas, don't hope that shes been picking up on all the hints you've been dropping and just come right out and say ,"I want THIS game". This is not the first or the last of odd end games that my parents have picked up for me, But god bless their hearts, they sure do try. Especially for not knowing much about video games. I love them all the same.

Mystery Quest, I thought would be a Link/Mario type game. Excited to play my new game, I plug ahead. My little character guy looks like a crossdresser between Link/Mario , but is he just has cool. The answer is hell no. His weapons are bubbles. He shoots annoying sounding bubbles. And when he finally does upgrade or get the new weapon, he now Arc bubbles. So instead of a straight line, they now arc. Does this help. No. It still takes the same amount of hits to kill the same enemy's, only now, I have to position myself in the right area so my bubbles fall on them. Who the hell thought this was a better weapon that what I just had?!!

Then Further into the game, you get back your straight bubbles . It was if the developer said, "you know, thats doesn't work very well, lets put back in what he was using to begin with". So instead of getting rid of the arc bubble all together, they just leave it in there has a aggravater. Now that you have your straight bubbles back lets all forget the silly nonsense of arc bubbles. But that is just one crazy thing in this game. The other , which was in many games. Falling into water. I was so glad when most of my game characters learned to swim. How many lives have we all lost to falling into water. There should be a disclaimer in the instruction booklet. Warning,"Your Hero can't swim, and will instantly die when he lands in water"..thank you.

At least here you can find rafts that open up underneath you if you do accidentally fall into the water, (although with the gameplay being so frustrating, accidents turn into suicides just to make you feel satisfied) The raft then gives you a chance to recover and jump to a ledge where, oops I didn't make it and fall in the water again. But this time theres no raft, because you can use your raft only once. So make sure you only have ONE falling into water accident.



The game was plagued with bugs and quirks, where if they released the game and I read the booklet and it said, "This game is not finished , you may experience weird shit from time to time, but this is part of the gameplay, adapt and learn". Then I say, this game was awesome, it did what it said it was going to do. Make me nuts!!

This game came out when NES was flooded with weird and horrible games. Every company out there was pumping out shitty games to make a buck and at a time when kids didn't really know the market, what was good, what was bad. There were no reviews for me back then. Every game was a gamble. But I did what I did with all my games. I played through it and scraped my eyes out doing it. Missing ledges, falling, missing items and going all the way back 2-3 times looking for shit I missed because it was in a bush I was suppose to kick or shoot a bubble at.

I couldn't even find game screens for it to post besides this one. I was amazed that there is a video of this game. I don't know how many people even saw or played this game. But there are tons of games like this during that era. But I love my mom for getting it for me. Thanks Mom.

Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest - NES

What made me want this game. I tell you what, that stupid Nintendo Power Hour cartoon.Where Simon Belmont was a blithering idiot and Megaman sounds like he has been smoking since he was 2. Kid Icarus was a kid in puberty and some lame ass main character guy that was always fighting MotherBrain, who sounded like that black woman from Gone with the wind. "MUTHA BRAIN DON'T KNOW NUTTIN BOUT BERTHIN NO BABIES MISS SCARLET"

So I must say I was pretty excited when I got this game for my birthday. What I remember most about this game? It was damn hard. It had parts in this game that makes the player go,"How the hell was I suppose to figure that out" One prime example would be the item holy water. Holy water apparently in Simon's world not only slay the dead, but burn through stone like acid. So if one came to a dead end, you could try and throw holy water around and see if any of the rocks disappear, because not all the rocks burn when touched by acid, I guess only the undead rocks. How do I know which are undead rocks and which ones are heaven rocks. You don't, they all look the same.

So if I wanted too, I could spend the entire game throwing holy water all over the ground until ..ohhh, I found a passage. Because there were quite a few times I came to a dead end, or what am I missing now scenario. Those were the hardest parts of the game. The enemies, you just had to be quick with the D-pad. I look back on these games now and wonder how I beat it when I was 10,11 years old. How?..there was only one way. Do nothing else but play and repeat the game at nauseum until you knew every jump, slash, and duck.
The defining moment for me with Castlevania 2 was when I was at the Boss, I just put all of Dracula's body parts back together and he starts flying around the screen. My pulse is pounding, My ears are ringing, my mother is shouting, "supper time", my fingers fidget for the buttons. I hit him once, twice, and third time...he hits me.., I heal...he swing around again. I hear nothing now except Dracula's laugh and taunts.Then the tv goes blank, My dad stands infront of me holding the TV and Nintendo chords in his hands and says, "your mudder says its supper time, now get out dere and eat ur supper".

What could I do. We had Sweet and sour chicken with cream potatoes for supper. It was good. Its odd what our brain's remember. Anywho, I did get back to the game, a different day and do that all again and finally beat the boss. It ended and I was happy. A Great childhood memory for a great game of its time. Check the video below to see the death of Dracula.

Custom Xbox 360 dashboard backgrounds

• Save your image to an external USB storage device (Camera, video Ipod, flashcard, PSP, etc)


• Go to the Media blade on your Xbox 360 and select pictures. Then select your storage device.


• Highlight the picture you want and press X. "Set as Background"

Here's a few Nintendo backgrounds I made. That's right Nintendo crap on your 360.

Assassin's Creed- Xbox 360

Darryl's review has a lot of good points about Assassin's Creed. The game looks great but overall can be very repetative. I found myself ignoring the story and just running around killing random people and killing myself by jumping off of buildings. Just by doing all this stupid stuff, the game got much more enjoyable.

I also went on a homeless person hunt where I'd kill/ beat on people begging for change. After awhile an achievement popped up on the screen and the game got more awesome:

So I made a list of Achevements I'd like to see in the game:

So because of the random tom-foolery of the game I'm gonna give it 7.5/10

But if you stick to doing nothing but the story and side missions 5.5/10

If you would like to see a full list of the achievements go here.

Assassin's Creed- PS3

The Game looks fantastic, the characters, the environment, the style of the game. It runs really well. In regards to looks of a game, its really next gen.

Playing the game, Its just so dang repetitive.You do the same things in every town, climb the towers, save the citizen, ease drop, pick pocket and ruff up a guy for info. Don't forget your two assassin teammates who want you to find their flags and kill their targets.Al of which give you hints about how to kill the city's boss. Did I need the info, not really, for most part, I just did what I did on every level, I climb around the roof tops, kill the archers and drop down next to the guy and stab him. Now repeat this for every city but with an original and somewhat entertaining plot.

I was honestly bored playing the game and couldn't wait for it to be over. I really enjoyed the killing parts, they were well put together and entertaining.

But I felt that this world was so huge and there was nothing to do in it, besides find hidden flags and templars.I went out and bought the strategy guide so I could find all the flags. I had to stop doing that because I found that is was worthless. Unlike GTA's where you are rewarded for finding all the hidden items. The PS3 rewards me with nothing. I didn't feel the need to find them all.

If this games an idea of what a game can look like and feel and movement, then they get a 10, but for content of a game I give it a 5 maybe a 4. I know there are people that like this game and give it high numbers, but its just so dang repetitive.

Overall , I was disappointed with the game. But it does excel in certain areas, but looking pretty is not enough for games theses days....

Duck Hunt - The 30 sec (or so) Game Experience

Here is the first of many (I hope) Video Game Experiences with your host Blosh and Jake.

Medal of Honor Warchest - PC

Medal of Honor or MOH for all the geeks out there is a collection of 3 games. The original, Spearhead and Breakthrough, which are all treated like expansion packs for the game. But do add alot to the game, so one wouldn't feel like they are losing out on the experience.

I was first introduced to the game when I worked at a certain studio (W#%*@$D). During our dinner hours myself, fellow co-workers (Lindow and Griz) would setup LAN games. It was quite fun to blast ur buddy then hear cursing come from the other rooms. This happened alot. Especially when Lindow learned to master the rifle and ran around blasting me and Griz in one shot while we wail down on our SMG's and Machine guns which apparently doesn't fire bullets but instead fires bubbles and butterfly's.


But has time progressed, we all learned the ins and outs of the game. How to cook grenades.Which infuriated me when I be leaning over a ledge and a grenade would float up in front of my face and explode. Where before I knew what I was doing, my grenades would bounce past my target. Cook your grenades well people.

I couldn't tell you how many hours we all put into this game.This was just the Online part of it. We would even set up times to all get together and shoot eachother senseless on the weekends. It was great fun. The more the merrier.


The single play is great aswell. I could go on about how good this was and how great that was, this was good, this option was great. But I won't. It was a really fun game. For the amount of money I spent on warchest, I more than got my money's worth and then some. I have many a fond memories of online play. I would have to say its where I learned all my internet gaming jargon. Such as noob,which is a new online player, a newbie if you would.

It was great online fun, there were things I hated about playing online too, such has.
1) People who block doors and stand in front of you.
2) People who constantly shout out that you are cheating when they die
3) Cheaters, sharkers, people who alter their game code to make their guys shoot through walls, move unseen along the ground, one hit kills, speed boost, etc
4) Spawn killers
5) Team Killers


Those are just a few, but nothing is more satisfying then getting the rocket launcher and blowing the sweet shit out of a loud mouth arsole. I never had a headset during my whole game play so I became quite good at shooting and typing at the same time. Since them I have retired the MOH game but my game Alias is carried on to my new online games. All Hail Victory Class!!
9/10

X-men - Sega Genesis

I think this was the first superhero game that I really remember being excited about. Seeing has the graphics were the 16-bit , a big up grade from the 8-bit NES. The X-men characters actually looked like the x-men characters, as oppose to the horrible x-men game for the NES. The commercial for the game was great, it flashed just enough for any fan to get a glimpse of all their favorite characters doing some cool looking moves.

I got the game and away I went. Right away I was amazed that you could be 1 of 4 different x-men, Wolverine, Cyclops, Gambit and Nightcrawler. Then you have 5 back up guys to call in for help, such has Archangel, Storm, Iceman, Rogue and Jean Grey. Each one had a different ability to help you along. Also if that wasn't enough for you it had 2 players. You a buddy can each choose a x-men and fight your way through to Magneto. Awesome, or so I thought.

First off, the game sticks you in the danger room, where nothing really dangerous happens. Theres ledges and lots of jumping and more jumping. But the game doesn't really tell you how to start. And during a time when "WHERE DO I GO NEXT" isn't clearly marked. A door can be anywhere and right in front of you because it looks just like everything else around it. So after getting my brand new game, I spent the first hr or so trying to get out of the danger room. (Its up in the top left corner if anyone wants to know)

To start off I choose Wolverine and my new claw slashing power. So they incorporate a mutant bar next to your life bar, every time I slash something with my claws, it uses up my mutant power..What?...yeah, thats right. Punching stuff with my claws makes mutant power tired. What ever, it recharges..slowly. Wolverine is also the only character that can heal back his health. This doesn't really matter though, cause there was a point in the game where I was almost dead, so I left him sitting there and went and watched Bravestar, came back 30 min later and he was almost full of life. I continue off on the adventure and fall off a platform and die. Game over. I did this technique alot.

Choosing Cyclops gives you Optic Blast, hes the most useful character in the game, you can aim his head. But instead of a beam, he shoots little lasers, like Starwars. But he drains his mutant power quick, then you resort to punching and kicking. Gambit is the best fighter because he has a bo staff, most enemies are ok if you can stay away from them and hit from a far and his staff made this possible. But his mutant power is kinda odd for the game . He charges a card and throws it, but then it comes back to you and sort zips back and fourth around your person. Like a see saa. Nightcrawler had the teleporting, I thought, cool, no wall and getting lost will stop me. If I could only control where I teleport. Thats right, you hit the button and he zips off, then back again, the up then down, the right and you frantically mash the button to get him to stop , only for him to land back in the same spot you started. Great power if you could get it to work.

But the icing on the cake, was a part in the game where you beat a boss (Mojo) and you have to diffuse the bomb for the level by restarting the computer. Where is this computer, the clock ticks down from 15, did I miss it, is it like the door, its there I just can't see it. Am I suppose to hit something, I am stuck in one room, I jumped, I punch and kick and double jump and still nothing. the level explodes, you die and you start all over again. I did this way to many times to warrent having a life outside of video games. I finally put it away until one day I come across the answer in a magazine. THE ANSWER IS.....hit reset on the Genesis. Thats right, I guess they figured that kids would get so mad and just say I give up and hit reset to start it all over on their own.

NOO....they get mad and frustrated, and hit power OFF, I didn't ever hit reset , especially with time remaining for me to figures something out. Who in there right god given minds goes,"OH, a clock,I can never figure this out, I guess I will restart the entire game and see if I can do it again"
NOT ME!!

That being said, I did enjoy the game, it was fun. Hard, with all the falling off platforms. In fact, if I had to say watch out for the baddies, I be wrong, its more like falling to your doom while goons look on in amazement and wonder to themselves if he will ever make it past that next crevasse.

6/10
