the week. You know how we do.
Oh yes. So maybe with that drum roll,
let's see what this is. Here we go, y'all, Get ready,

(03:54):
get ready, get ready. What?
Was that for? All right.
It Takes 2 released March 26th, 2021, Developed by Haze Light

(04:15):
Studios, Published by ElectronicArts Available on PCPS 4PS5,
Xbox One, Xbox Series X&S. That's right.
What a game. What a game.
Baby and. When I talk about publishers, we
talk about developers. We.
Talk about Indies, we talk aboutdevelopers.
So you guys played this game? Oh dude, this game.

(04:37):
Dude, this is this guy. Game of the year for a reason.
Yeah, because it was a hell of agame.
And we played this late though actually like a year later.
We played it before it got announced.
This game of the year. No.
Oh no. I.
Thought it was after. No, it was after.
You guys got after? I think we played a year after
it was released and they got a game of the year.
The height got to us then. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, but it we definitely saw thereason why it got game of the

(05:00):
year. It was magical.
Yeah. Yeah, definitely deserved it.
That story got me a little tearyeyed man.
I mean, that kind of kind of gotme, yeah.
At some point. I was just happy with how they
integrated the multiplayer. It was ridiculous.
Yeah, now the acting was good, the dialogue was good, but I
love the fact like the, the the the tribute to to video games

(05:23):
within the game, like every genre, a video game was in it
from Gears of War. Freaking what was it, a Street
Fighter? Yeah, they paid.
They paid homage to everything. Like every type of game that you
could think of, Yeah. Like a Dungeons and Dragons.
Dungeons and Dragons, they even had a what was it that one
racing game? Yeah, had to drive.

(05:45):
And then you have to like shoot or whatever on top.
Yes, they had like an SSX thing and I threw it all.
I'm not sure I get the mixed up.Well, they had a what was it
Hydro Thunder? Also they had it like a like you
have to go in the in the river. It is ridiculous like every
every every genre they they represented in in one game.
I like seeing the what was the scene where one of you guys was
flying the ship and the other one was fighting like a squirrel

(06:06):
and like some Street Fighter. Oh, that was that threw me off.
I was like, what the fuck is going on?
I almost had a pause because I was like what the fuck what is
going on? That's.
My news. Yo.
What's going on? But they do a good.
Job they do a good job at like doing some awe inspiring stuff.
Co-op man Co-op. It's all about that Co-op full
that's. Surprising.
Remember when? Remember when nothing was

(06:28):
multiplayer? Yeah, yeah, everything.
Was now everything is and I likehow this like this being like
true Co-op. What They made it so you can't
play at one player? Yeah, but they get like you have
one copy of the game and you send like a friend code.
It's the other person doesn't even have to have the game.
Yeah, and you could play Co-op with.
Them that's. Cool.
It's freaking dope. They're the only ones that I
know that. That really do that well 'cause

(06:48):
you have to have two players well, like they don't have a
fake. 'Cause it takes two guys, it
takes 2. Hello, hello to.
Make the thing go right, you know, had to do Hello.
It's crazy as I didn't think there was a way to get to like
up this. And then Split Fiction came out
and I was like. Wow.
And they did they. They they actually did.
I'm like, wow, what else can they do?

(07:09):
What station? So I'm curious of what else
they're working on. It's one player.
Oh damn imagine that yo if they made A1 player game that would
be like but everything else was Co-op.
What do you guys know yo this this was fun man.
Remember this shit garden? The the garden?
Out of nowhere, like we said, they they paid homage of

(07:31):
everything he's. Palsy said.
If that squirrels and Street Fighter Seven, I'll consider
picking it up. Dude, imagine, imagine that
squirrel had some hands though the squirrel he.
Got his ass. With I was like somebody one of
us had to fly a plane. Yeah, throwing it.
Yeah, dodging stuff. I think it was you.
Were you flying? Yes.

(07:52):
Because I remember fighting the I think we're always like what
the they should incorporate thatmore into like co-ops.
Like if someone's flying the vehicle and the other person's
on top of the vehicle fighting. Yeah, like that's that's a very
cool mechanic. Split Fiction did a lot more of
that. But I had that racer, that racer
that had you shooting at other people while someone was
driving. They had, they had, they did a
lot more like where you're not doing the same thing, where

(08:13):
you're like both characters are doing separate things.
Well, split fiction, they took it to another level.
But yeah, this is the first two,actually, because we played the
one before it. Oh.
What was it a way out? A way out.
And now as you can see, like kind of what they were trying to
do, yeah. But they did not hit the mark
like they did with this. Yeah.
Because that was like the beginning.
But you could see how they grew.It was good, but it wasn't like.

(08:35):
It wasn't crazy like this. Yeah.
So yeah, definitely deserves theofficial Level 857 Seal of
Quality. Yeah.
Holla, holla. All right.
Yes. So with that being said, we got
the tearless job regardless of what happened today.
We got to talk about that next week.

(08:59):
But yes, there's a lot going on.By the time we get to talking
about it next week, we'll add everything together.
Don't worry. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, be excited.
There's all this stuff going on in the gaming industry right
now. Besides the higher prices.
We're not going to talk about that.
We'll. Talk about that next week.
Yeah, Next podcast. We'll show you our grievances
next week with that. Hell yeah, man.

(09:21):
Say peace to the gaming industry.
Yo-yo. Retro all day that that seems to
be the way to go. Absolutely.
I'm happy about it. We'll wait it out with the
backlog. What?
We got. What we got, what we got.
So we have the ultimate. The soccer halls hitting me.
No, we saw. We have joking.
Joking, joking. Konami NES tearless.

(09:44):
We'll, we'll keep out of the only one shot.
Yeah. Put the wrong shit on the wrong
tier. Let me get another one.
Let me sign No. But yes, Konami has a lot of
titles. Konami does.
And we're not talking about every title they've ever
created, because we'll be here, no.
Forever. No.
Well, at least until Pachinko. Oh my, no.
And then we'll stop there. No.
At least for a good, what? 12 years?

(10:05):
What? The Metal Gear Pachinko.
Everything Pachinko, Castlevaniapachinko.
Oh God. But it's not those aren't on the
list. Good.
This is any yes. This is Nintendo Entertainment,
yes. Good, yes, 8 bit games. 8 bit,
yes. All right, so the first game we
got. Castlevania released May 1st
1987. It's an action platformer

(10:28):
established the Gothicara actionstyle for Konami with iconic
whip based combat and boss battles inspired by classic
monsters. Oh yeah.
The class. Description like that because
I'm not reading all that. Bro is every description that
long? Because I'm not reading all
that. Yeah, you got to read, man.
That's your job. He.
Said. That shit, you better read That

(10:48):
shit. I spent hours working on That
shit, you better read it. Read every syllable, every word.
Cha get the only one who can read in the podcast, so it's up
to you. Yeah, Enunciate, actually, I
forgot to go through the tier list itself.
No, no more shots for you already.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So obviously this starts off

(11:10):
with essential on the top. Top tier is essential, followed
by great good OK trash. Garage.
And never played. And never played, of course.
OK. All right.
So I'll start with never played.Wow.
Never beat the game but I have played it.

(11:30):
Yeah, start off with style this.Game's trash.
Wow, joke and a joke and a joke.No, I like I I always liked the
first Castlevania. It's very, you know, especially
for for the NES. It's very basic.
It's pretty pretty much like thearcade for the most part, but I
liked it very difficult Pissed me off a lot.

(11:54):
I'm trying to think if I beat this game.
I think I did. I'm pretty sure I beat.
This game stuff. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I beat
this game because I beat Fury, guys.
I mean, I'm pretty sure I beat. Yeah, I'm just going to beat
Fury just to stop you. But but yeah, I I like, I like
the game. I I'm going to give it a I'm

(12:14):
gonna give it a good. I'm gonna give it a good.
OK, Yeah, I'm gonna give it a good.
All right, I guess I'll jump in.Yeah, this is the classic.
You know, we're not taking anything away from Castlevania
as a legacy. This started pretty much.
I wouldn't count that the the Dragon arcade game or whatever.
I wouldn't count that but this started Castlevania or the MSX

(12:36):
version or whatever, but I neverwas a huge fan of Castlevania
one besides the music. The music is legendary, but the
difficulty of the game made me steer pretty clear away from it.
I did own it and I had a broken copy, so we're not going to go
into that. But I would also give it,

(12:59):
regardless of how great the legacy of Castlemania is, I give
it a good. Part 1 gets a good.
So we got 2 goods. Yes.
Got 2 goods. I don't think I ever played it.
Oh. Shit, really?
I don't think I ever played. Two goods and I never played all
right. So it's going to come down to
you. I played this and I can agree
the music is actually what kept me going.

(13:20):
The difficulty is well, maybe stop it.
So yeah, no, this is this is a good game.
I think the music brings it overthe hump of OK, yeah, and it
makes it a good game cuz it's onthe if it wasn't for the music,
it's on the line of OK, it's like, all right, if the
soundtrack was trash, then I would be like that would be a

(13:40):
hard OK, right. But it's it's it's a good game.
It is a good game. Yeah, if it was that original
first Castlevan Arcade, then yeah, that's that's that's going
in trash. Yeah, but that's not, that's not
this stuff. No, it's the NES.
Man I forgot what it's called. Vampire Killer.
The thing? That's what it's called.

(14:01):
That's what that's called. But that was a bad yes, so we're
not going to. Go there.
All right, So first one is goinginto good look at that starting
out with no controversy, no arguments now straight through.
How dare you, the Castlevania. Straight.
Through talking about Dracula, man, no Dracula.
Talking about a la carte? No, I'm not.

(14:21):
No Dracula. Now you can wipe those smiles
off your face. Let me start so the next one
before I kill this. Anyone want anymore?
Yeah, I'm. Sure, it didn't hit me yet.
I'm good, I'm good. As we have to tell.
Next one we got. Castlevania 2.
Simon's Quest released December 1st, 1988.

(14:41):
Action Adventure expanded the series with RPG elements, open
exploration, the day and night cycle, though criticized for
cryptic clues. Yeah, duck in the corner.
I was going to say I'll start. Never played.
You never played? I think the first Castlevania I
played was on Super Nintendo part. 4.
Oh wow, what a good one to. Start.

(15:03):
With that, wow what a good one to start.
This is a trash for me. It's too cryptic.
I never liked this game. Didn't like it really.
No, Never liked it, No. So it's trash for me.
It's going to trial, OK. Damn I I see turbo.
Screaming, right? Turbo screaming right?
Didn't like it? How could you?

(15:25):
Ship dude, he's about to chime in and to chat is.
It because of the the Japanese translation whatever bad
translation. Well, they didn't.
They did have some cryptic stuffbecause that's why, yeah.
That's the translation. I'm not a fan of that.
I mean, you did need a Nintendo Power to get anywhere.
I've never had Nintendo Power, so that's.
Yeah, I definitely got some tipson how to get through there.
But you want to go with me, You're next.

(15:46):
OK, I did play it. That was like the first one I
had. Actually, I think I had it
before Castlevania won. It was very different, but I did
like it better than one for somereason, because like I said, I
had a Nintendo Power sort of cryptic stuff.
Didn't really stop me from playing and I did like the night
to day stuff, even know what happened a lot.

(16:08):
But it was different than Part 1.
Still had the classic music and I can't say I disliked it to a
degree because like I said I liked it better than one so I
would. But I wouldn't put it above the
rating that I gave one because it doesn't really hold up and
it's not the best way to play Castlevania, especially since as

(16:31):
you've seen what it does. So OK, but it's still going to
go in the OK tier just above Castlevania for me.
All right. And the OK tier above
Castlevania. Yeah.
Castlevania sounds good. Oh, my bad.
Good. Meant the other way around.
Good. It's still going the same tier
as Castlevania, just above Castlevania.
So good. Yes, I'm good.

(16:51):
OK, this one's a little difficult for me because I I
know this game is potentially could have been great because
they did a lot of ambitious things that they didn't execute
them the way they were supposed to be done.
I did enjoy it, I did enjoy the game and I can kind of give it a
little bit ahead of 1. Music still there, combat still

(17:15):
there. I like the RPG elements.
Is it a higher tier than one? Though is it a higher tier?
I would say no, no. Better, but still in the same.
Yeah, I'm not. I'm not good.
This is definitely not great. Could have been.
I'm not going to throw it in trash and I think OK might be
it's same shit with one man. They're both like on the line of

(17:36):
like OK games, but it's it did ait did a lot for the even though
it failed at a lot of things that it tried to do.
I do give him credit for trying it.
It was ahead of his time. Yeah, it's definitely ahead of
its time, so I will give it a low grade good, but I would put
it ahead of Cal Sylvania 1, so same spot, yeah.
OK. So we got a good, we have an OK,

(17:56):
and we got a trash and I never played.
Oh yeah. Two goods.
Do I have two goods? 2 goods?
Oh, you said. I thought you meant OK, my bad.
Yeah, same tier, yeah. I thought you said OK.
Same tier. No, he no, he said he made a
mistake. Confused.
Yeah. Good.
Oh, OK. All right.
And you can make the same argument for both those games on
OK also. You could.
It's to me the interchangeable. The mute the music puts it over.

(18:19):
It's a better than OK for me. Like when I say good, I'm
talking low, like the bottom, it's on the, it's on the cusp.
It really is on the cusp, right all?
Right, like I said, it's still has some like that was a debut
with some classic. You guys are very generous.
You guys are very generous. Classic soundtrack, man.
Soundtrack does a lot for me. I mean the frustration.

(18:39):
I'm talking about history being made with that soundtrack.
And I'm talk I'm I'm grading based on the 8 bit NES, right,
Not like not today's standards, obviously.
Yeah, like if I was just with Anes, you know, how would I feel
with these games, you know, or is there is there essential to
play good to play? That's where I based mine.
That's where I based mine off ofthat but didn't have any desire
to complete this shit because I was just frustrated.

(19:01):
Plus I'm based I'm basing on me playing it at that time all.
It's good. Kag in the building.
Yeah, we got a celebrity in the building right now.
Holla, holla. Kag in the building.
What we got next? So hold up.
So we got Yeah. So we got 2 goods, 2 goods.
Two at a time. Two at a time.
There we go. Time.
Good. Days.

(19:22):
Days. So the next one we got.
Castlevania 3 Dracula's Cursor released September 1st, 1990.
Action platformer that returned to the linear stage based style
with improved graphics and sound.
Introduced branching paths and multiple playable character.
Oh yeah, never played. Same here, never played.
You know, it's funny, I never played this thing either.

(19:44):
Whoa, really? So I'm the only I'm the only one
to play. I never played.
That kind of fucker. Yeah, I never played this.
Me and Turbo rented this. Never played.
Wow, we I enjoy this a lot. I was never intrigued by the
character switching. I've seen you play a lot, so
that's part. That's partly why.
Plus it looked like Part 1 to me.
Yeah. No, this was this was the extent

(20:05):
of what you can do on the NES with Castlevania.
There's nothing you can do more with Castlevania than
Castlevania 3 Music was awesome,3 characters are cool.
Nice little change up from, you know, the formula.
Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's Castlevania just better, way
better. Everything just done better and
pulled off well. So every idea they had, they

(20:26):
actually pulled it off on like Part 2.
Damn. So yeah, they pulled off in a in
a good way. Definitely higher than good.
For me personally, I'm not goingto say essential, even though it
can't. If someone says it is, I'm not
going to argue that me personally, I will give it a
great it's a great game. It was a great game.
OK, Lord, the Bible says essential.

(20:46):
I I can't. I can't.
I can't argue that. As far as probably the
Castlevania experience on any yeah.
Yeah, yeah, it. Probably is essential for that.
I mean, your description there, that is better than both the
first two, yeah, then yeah, it'sa great game.
It was a great game for me. OK, so what's going a great?
Yeah, from what I've seen, like obviously it's not something I
haven't looked at, right. And I know like, it's the top

(21:07):
tier of what Castlevania is on that.
Yeah, but it it out of those three, that's easily the best
one. But I've never because of a
magician. I never.
Wanted to play it. Cipher.
Yeah. You know, it's funny.
I thought it was an old man at first.
I never knew that was a woman. I never knew that.
Was to the cartoon. I'm like, I wanna be this old
ass man. I was like that, 'cause you can
come on the wall you got. This because she's so powerful

(21:29):
dude, and she's not really in the game like you gotta.
I never cared about a la carte in that game.
I picked a la carte all the time.
Never cared. And Grant was the shit.
I liked Grant. Yeah, a la carte was in
Castlevania 3. Yep a la carte grant and Sifa
and Trevor. You could use four different
characters have no idea, but yeah, I'll give it a great.
Would you look at that? That's crazy.

(21:50):
I'm the only I'm the actually Turbo played it too, so yeah,
he. Would he would have probably
rated 2 better? He probably would have.
There's no reason. He's probably hating this.
Well, yeah, man, I agree. Well, Castlevania 4 was just so.
That's essential, but we're not.We're not going to talk about.
Yeah, yeah, that's just too good. 4 was just in another
planet. But you know, I get it though.

(22:13):
I mean, I get, I get the essential side and I get the not
a big fan. Fine, listen, the bump back and
that's like that's it was too annoying.
It's the most aggravating thing.Yeah, the knockback was crazy in
those days, that's why. That's why I'm happy in the
Ninja Gaiden rage bound they gave you the recovery.
Thank. God, thank God.

(22:33):
The knockback mechanics, fuck that, they invented that shit.
All right, next game. Contra released February 1988.
It's a running gun famous for its two player Co-op and the
Konami code. It's at the standard for
fast-paced action shooters on the Nest.
Damn it, Contra Oh. Yeah.

(22:55):
I can start. Go ahead, man.
Essential. I poured hours of my life into
this game with no regrets. This game was fire mad fun.
Two players. Heaven, Heaven.
Don't forget the soundtrack. And I second that, by the way.
Essential, essential, essential,essential.
The Konami Code, damn it. You know, And to kind of

(23:16):
piggyback off of that, it reallydoes still hold up.
Yep, and I think everything was that they tried to do was
accomplished. Like it's a great soundtrack,
great combat, Co-op action too hard.
You have a code that you could, you know, use and go through the
game. It's the bosses are cool and

(23:37):
iconic. Yeah, man, this is like one of
those, one of those games that you play in your life where
you're like, yeah, this sets thestage for a lot of Co-op games
moving forward. So I don't think there's any
other place I can put it besidesessential.
Also, you don't think when you think NES games Contras, like
Contras top three. Yeah, it's like 3 because, you

(23:57):
know, you know, me and Turbo grew up, you know, with the
Co-op games and shit. So yeah, you know, Contra
definitely holds a special placein my heart, and it's definitely
better than the arcade. The NES version of my opinion.
I just don't like that goofy assflip they do in the arcade, but
they would like their fucking having a seizure in mid air.
But yeah, that shit's essential to me too.
This was one of the as you said,this is one of the better.

(24:19):
One of the first games I saw that was better than the arcade
on the NES because they do look goofy and it's stringy and
weird. Yeah, like a weird.
Thing. Like they're fucking.
Like well, plus the screen is extra long.
It's just odd in the arcade, butI'll tell you why this goes in
better than great for me. It'll go to essential for me
also, because this was this did this was an essential game for

(24:42):
multiplayer on the system. If you think multiplayer, this
was the game. It's like, yo, this is you have
to play this two players and it's made the Konami code like
legendary. So used to this day, yeah.
I know Grady has had it beforehand or so, but as I think
but shit it became famous from this game.
And to be honest, this is kind of like the, this is kind of

(25:05):
like the blueprint for like difficult, like like bullet
hell. What is the term NES?
Hard, Yeah. It's like one hit, one hit you
get killed like this is this will this trains you for future
games. We me and style.
Remember what was it last week? Yeah, we played iron meat Pause.

(25:26):
But I mean we, we, we put. Damn.
But but no, it was Contra fuckery.
Yeah. Like, this shit just flying.
Like, Oh my God, That was like, yeah, they just, like, they were
like, all right, Contra's the blueprint.
We're gonna just enhance it evenmore.
I don't get through that game ifI never play Contra, right.
I don't get through that game, of course if I never play
Contra, of course. You don't don't put in the code

(25:47):
though. You have to put in the code, no.
We, no, they did it. They give us 15 lines.
They give you 15 lines in each channel.
Contra. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah. Pay Contra with three lives,
that's all, Yeah. Oh, you're, you're.
Oh, no, no, 3 lives. And I bet because we, what was
it? Normal, Easy, normal and hard.
And then I'm like, I don't want to know what I don't want.
I don't want to know where the heart is.
Nope. And that's probably 3 lives, I
bet. I bet that's three lives.
Some people get real good at it.They can do it on one credit.

(26:08):
I saw, I saw Joel, he could do it on one credit.
What I actually got to the last level.
In the Contra, yeah, yeah, yeah,no.
Then he jumped in the hole I saw.
That I said after all that you jumped in the hole.
Really, Joel? No, it really is.
There's a system like to how thegame works.
There's a really, there's a timing.
And then once you get with the timing and how the stages move,

(26:29):
the the enemies move, learning the weapons, how the weapons
are. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's a it's,
it's like first nature, 'cause you die so much.
Yep. But it still holds up, though.
It's, it's it's, yeah. I can throw in Contra one and
play like a couple stages and beand be chilling.
I'm playing a whole game fucking, but you know, I can
play a couple stages. Yeah, you can play up to the
stage where the capsules get thrown, like the guy who jumps
with the leg. Oh, we should call him.

(26:51):
Me and Turbo used to call them crack vials.
Yes, yeah, they. Would throw a crack at us.
Yeah, play up to that level usually.
Then I'm done. There's like, all right, cool.
I had enough. But yeah, easily essential.
Come on now. Yeah, man.
Come on now, all the stage whereyou're jumping up, By the time I
get to the top of that, I'm like, I'm cool moving.
It up to a central look at that.That was everything, 80s all to
one. It was.
It was you. Know what I just noticed I'm

(27:13):
looking. Aliens.
I just noticed I'm looking at all the box art for all the the
Konami games and it's like there's a lot of silver box art.
That's it. Like silver color, that's
whatever. A certain thing for him.
Yeah, I like it though. It's cool.
It's pretty dupe. What?
We got next. Next we got.

(27:34):
Super C released April 1990 Running Gun, sequel to Contra
with new overhead stages, tougher difficulty, and refined
Co-op action that cemented its reputation as one of Konami's
best NES shooters. I never played this.
Really. Yeah.
I never played this Super season, never played Super
Season. It's a good one.
Super season, it's a. Really good one.

(27:54):
Really, really good. That's the thing I like about
conscious they really out of anyseries they, you know, with the
exception of that one 3D one that came out, you know, they
were really on track with. A lot of their sequels, 23D
ones. Yeah, like 2 and three like 3
for Super Nintendo. Like those were fucking amazing.
Like. Really they just set the
standard on running gun. Yeah, they and then they would

(28:15):
kind of fell off for a bit. Metal Slug took over.
Yeah, then they they had to comeback because they were, they
were the goats. But yeah, this gets the same
shit as one. This gets essential for me.
This is definitely way better than the arcade.
This is way better than Supersede.
Supercede was not good in the arcade, no.
Supercede. Was not good in the.
Arcade way better so I can't sayit did anything worse than one

(28:35):
besides not being the first, yeah.
Yeah, exactly. But I can't rate it lower
because it's better and in everyway so.
Yo, that helicopter and the music too, had a heart.
Yeah, yeah, pretty much, yeah. Wow.
All right. Yeah, Super CS going up there.
Yeah, what about you, Chuck? I don't think I ever played
this. I think the next one I played
was 3 was the one for Super Nintendo. 3 is so.

(28:55):
Good. It's so fire.
It's just so fucking. Awesome.
Really 2 was like it was almost the same.
It's it's. It's an extension of one with
more cool shit. That's that's what it is.
And three just destroys that completely.
So. But three's not on the list
unfortunately. That's another another level,

(29:15):
man. But yeah, Super City and Contra
One goes on Essential. All right, What's going on?
Essential it is especially. If you have NES, you better put
that in front of one look at. That.
The contras are essential. Doesn't all work.
Like you said is what else we got.

(29:36):
You're terrible with the sounds today.
Yo. Dude, it is moving.
It's like the 4th off. Time.
Weird sound. Come on man, you know I don't
play no games. Man, you was waiting.
I'm waiting. I'm not.
That. Predictable, man.

(29:57):
Come on. Yeah.
Bullshit. All right.
I sort of thought in your hand. I said next game.
Blades of Steel released December 1988.
It's a sports game known for itsfast-paced hockey action, voice
samples and fighting mechanics. Also featured a hidden greatest
mini game during intermission. You you said it wrong, huh?

(30:20):
What? You said it wrong.
It's supposed to be. There you go.
That's. Cut the time, got touch the
pass. I don't.
Know hit the pass hit the hit the pass.
I really like this game. This game.
I had so much fun with this game.
I I really unintentionally enjoyed this game thoroughly

(30:41):
like like I I wasn't supposed tolike this game.
I really wasn't supposed to. You don't watch hockey.
No, I don't watch it either. I don't rock with hockey.
I don't watch it either. This.
Was a lot of fun, man. It really was.
It was fast, it was intense, Thesound effects were cool, the
fights were cool. It was a fun game, man.
I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it.

(31:01):
I'm going to give this. What am I going to give this
game? No, OK.
I'm not going to give it an OK. You need some time.
You know what? Give me another second.
All right? Yeah, give me a second because
it's between two ratings. So.
Turbo. I'm in Turbo freaking I'm.

(31:22):
Turbo put. On my nostalgia goggles.
Oh nostalgia. You know it's an 8 bit list.
I mean, NHL 93 this is not, I don't know, it was a 94.
Element it was 90. 494 was 293 was 2. 94 was the 16 bit one.
That was my turbo person. But yes, as far as 180, yes,

(31:45):
this was yeah, I would say this was the best hockey game on the
system. I mean, you could argue and say
ice hockey, but. Ice hockey was.
It was. I mean, they were, they were
actually both very good. Yeah, I think Blades of Steel
was better though, regardless ofhow great ice hockey was, 'cause
there's fight. Look at that cause of that,
cause of this. There you go y'all.

(32:06):
Love this part man, I used to love this part.
And this is before Street Fighter, so this is big time.
Big time. Look at the power meter.
Oh. What?
And they had that default crowd sound from Kanani.
It sounded like a whistle. Yeah, and they put you in the
penalty box for losing the fight.
Which is crazy. Well, it would.
It would go and then. Yeah, yeah.

(32:30):
But it was fun. This is I would put this in
great for what it did on the on the system because there was no
topping this for for hockey. Hell yeah, man.
Add sports games on the. System yo, how my man make the
comeback? That's that's wild.
What do you give a Chuck? I'm going great for that.
I'm going to say it was good. I remember having.

(32:52):
I didn't play it that much, but I remember having a good time
every time I played it. I'm gonna leave it in good.
So 1 great one good style. You you've made the decision
yet. I wish there was a very good.
I wish there was. I'm going to say I'm going to
give it a grade. I'm going to give it a grade
because I have fond memories of of this game.
I think I'm because, to be honest, like I think good is too

(33:14):
low. I really because it doesn't like
as much fun as I had with this game.
I think good is way too low for the amount.
Of the stand. Out.
Yeah. No, it really was like, I can't
think of anything negative aboutthe game for somebody that
doesn't even like me myself. Yeah, I don't watch.
I don't watch hockey. I've got a lot of into it.
This got a lot of run. This game was fun as hell.
Yeah, Throw, throw a great 'cause it was a good time.
Really, really good time. I didn't care about teams.

(33:35):
I didn't care about who was. Yeah.
Can I put you in the I get. All your people off the fucking
the floor. Look at that.
It's an even tie and you know it's whack.
The chunk is much too. You get knocked out, you get
taken. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Then they take you off the fight.
You get put in the pill. Wow.
I just got punched in the face. They're not going by the rules,

(33:56):
man. It makes more sense.
They're like losing. They're like, ain't no bitches
out here on the ice. Yeah, pretty.
Much. That's how I should go.
Wow. Get.
His ass out of here losing damn,but that's not.
How? Wow.
That's not how all right shit. What we got next, we got no man.

(34:22):
We have Double Dribble the leastSeptember 1987 Basketball game,
one of the first realistic basketball games on the NES
featuring digitized voices, detailed dunk animations, and
popularizing the Konami Sports lineup.
Double dribble. I remember this game we rented.
I rented this game a lot. That's supposed to be the crowd.
That's supposed to be the crowd.Look at that there.
Yeah. That's not dragon.

(34:43):
It's snow. I thought that happened in track
and field. It took the same thing.
Probably, Yeah, they probably did.
They probably did. I have a lot of fun, fond
memories of this. I actually got this game on my
birthday. Yeah, I remember my my brother,
my older brother got this for meand we had a lot of fun with
this man. But I remember the one thing

(35:03):
that I remember this game was the dunks.
Let me see if I can go back to it.
Dunks let it stand out, definitely.
The dunks man watch you're goingto show it right here oh the
animation. The animation was yo, this blew
my mind back then man right here.
Oh that blew my mind. It's like my man did not do
that. He did not do that in.

(35:24):
Black and. White, they're all the same
colour too. They're all the same.
He did not do that. Yo, is the crowd going in over
and over? That's what's going on.
But no, I have. I had like blaze of steel.
I had a lot of fond memories of this game and it it was fun,
man. Yeah, my.
Man that was air boy dude. Alright, what do you give it?

(35:47):
Need time. Yeah, I need some time to think
'cause. I don't remember playing this
game much, if at all. I don't think I played this.
Look at these black and white people, you can't even tell what
they are. I don't think I played.
This, yeah. I don't think I played this.
Oh, actually, when you don't have the ball, they're not they.
They're actually the same skit, though.
Wow, nobody can. Shoot.
I've never played. I've never played OK.

(36:10):
For me, this didn't stand. This wasn't as good as Blade of
Steel. It definitely wasn't.
It did stand out because of the graphics and the dunks.
They did look nice. Yo, oh.
Man, but the game, as you're seeing, didn't hold up as well
for a representation of basketball, but it did look cool
for the. Oh my God.

(36:31):
It's on fire and it's on fire I.Can't watch the?
Scene Chloe looking Chloe. They're wiling out.
Finally, someone just shot the ball.
My God, But as a as a game, I can't hold it in the same esteem
because Blaze of Steel is bettergame.
I still think this is I still think this is good.
I still think it was good. It did stand out for the

(36:51):
graphics on the Dunks, though. That was a highlight.
That blew my mind. But that's still not going to
give it higher than good for me because it wasn't the best
basketball game. Jumping shots so flame.
No one's dunking. Come on.
I mean it might have been the best at the time of release.
There you go. I.

(37:13):
Never seen no one missing talk in this game.
But yeah, I got. That's crazy.
I'm going with good. All right, Yeah, You know what?
After watching this because it jogged my memory, I'm like I
might go. OK, I might go OK for this.
I'm going to go good. I'm not.
Playing I'm not playing double dribble at any time.
I I'm going to go good. I did give this some run when it

(37:36):
came out and even back then I wasn't really too crazy about
it. It was OK.
It got it got a little little run.
But like you were saying, bladesof steel.
Blades of Steel was special, man.
You didn't fight in this. No, this, this this was.
Everything about Blades of Steelwas so dope.
But yeah, this was, you know, this was one of the first, you

(37:58):
know, one of the first basketball games to do stuff
like that. But definitely going to give it
an OK. Too.
OK. Yeah, I would never, I would
never throw this in again. Which is true even if I was just
with an NES. If you take away every system I
have now and you give me an NES,this is not going to get any
run. From that give me why?

(38:18):
Is he jumping, doing a while doing a free?
Throw That's a great question. I mean, that's that's their, you
know, there's only so many animations you could do.
Just stand up straight, let the hands go.
The fuck? It's only animating the hands
alone. Yeah, they had two weeks to
program this man. Come on.
Yeah, this gets an OK. I would much rather play arch
rivals than this any day. Well, yeah.

(38:39):
This is what, 10 years before our tribals so.
I don't know about that, it's onNES still so.
Our tribals was Genesis. No, my man, he did.
It was on NES. Oh yeah, I.
Didn't know that. Maybe a two year difference on
that? Yeah, there no our tribals.
I had our tribals. I rented that I rented.
I didn't know that I had it on Genrone.
You gotta pick Tyrone. You better call.
Tyrone. All right, what's next?

(39:01):
So we'll give it what's. Going in the we're.
Going to give it an OK. Oh, look at everything kind of
getting even over here. Like they still got the same
design going yo. Nothing got the trash yet
nothing got trash. We'll.
Get there, we'll get there. He said.
We'll get there. Nothing got trash.
Legendary, Legendary. Nothing got trash.

(39:23):
Oh, here we go. We.
Got there track and field released April 1987 an Olympic
style event game, a collection of button mashing athletic mini
games famous for its frantic gameplay and being 1 of Konami's
early arcade tenest conversion you know it's.
Crazy. This got a lot of run.

(39:44):
Track and field got a lot of run.
I remember playing this a lot. I remember playing this fucking
game a lot. I played this once at my cousin.
My cousin had the freaking what's that shit for the NES?
Oh, the power pad, the power pad.
I played it because my cousin got it and I played it, but I
only played like one time and I was it.

(40:05):
Either cheat with a turbo controller or break your finger.
I don't know, I'm trying to trying to jam it like it's.
Ridiculous. Like the jammer controller.
Break your controller. For me, I'll just say never play
because it's not even though I did play but not not enough to
give it a vote so it's never played for me.
How about you? I can't remember if I played

(40:27):
this. I think a lot of people played
this and they forgot they playedthis.
I I just remember I never owned this.
I definitely didn't own it. I never owned it either, I just
remember my cousin had it with the power pad and this got a lot
of run. I, I don't remember, I'm going
to have to say never played. I'll show more footage 'cause I
need more memories to pop up 'cause I definitely remember

(40:47):
those events. I remember the running, the
hurdles, the the javelin. I remember.
What else was there? I remember playing, there's a
long jump. Yep, triple jump.
Oh, this I remember. I remember that, This I
remember. I only remember playing this
with the power pad and maybe once or twice I played this, so
I don't know if that's enough togive it a rating.

(41:08):
That's like, I mean, you're playing through events, so I
mean that's not like, you know, you beat story mode or
something. Like if I was to give this a
rating, I would give it good. I would give it good.
I don't remember it being bad. I remember good times with this
game. I remember having fun.
I'm also go with good because I do have memories of the other

(41:29):
one more the other track and field, but this one definitely
got some run. Definitely got some run when we
I believe we rented this. I don't think we owned this one,
but it was fun. It was it was fun time.
I believe I skipped the hell outof that with the controller.
I didn't play that at all really.
Wow. But the power pad I used to sit
down and hit the buttons. No, that's what I did.

(41:51):
I that's what I did. These motherfuckers grew up
cheating. And my cousin was like, what are
you doing? And he took the shit.
He never let me play. It on a carpet, you couldn't
really run on that. Thing I don't hear excuses.
So, yeah, So what are we giving that?
I gave it a good. It's good.
OK, so we're. Giving it a good Yeah, give it
a. Good, makes sense.
We're giving it a good it's. Good.

(42:11):
I mean depending on how or who you played with I'm sure it
might go higher but. Yeah, because.
You could be very competitive because.
Those memories are are faint. I do remember enjoying it.
I remember those things I just watched.
I remember those so like, but I don't remember.
There's some memories that are kind of like, you know, faded by
now. All right, might be the alcohol,
but all right, so moving on to the next game.

(42:39):
Track and field too, at least August 1989.
Olympic style events expanded onthe original without something.
My eye. Wow.
What the hell? I was like, that doesn't say
that. Diverse events.
International competition formatand multiplayer modes that made
it a party favorite. Now this one.

(43:01):
Imagine if my dude did the triple jump with that flip hold
in his legs. I remember the Konami airplane.
A lot more. Yeah, this is different.
This is different, no? Who's that in the plane?
That's someone you cannot see. He's waving.
Hello. That's Howard from Howard and
Ness. Hello.
This got a lot of run. Yeah, this is on another level.

(43:23):
I've never played this really. This one was this one.
Was. This is one of the best like
Olympic Games I've. Played.
Like this is like really? It's really fucking good.
They got fencing. There's fencing, There's like
was it kite riding or whatever or parasailing?
Let's try. Was fencing.

(43:43):
Yeah, that. There goes the yeah, that the
hell. Whatever you call the glider,
the glider, the glider, which I was terrible at.
Favorite, but the ski shooting skis.
Stam, I think I did play this. You had to.
Hammer throw. No, this was top notch.
This was no, this was nonsense. First person shooter.
What the hell? I don't even know why this was

(44:04):
here. What the hell?
Why you shooting gangsters? I don't remember this one.
What? What is this big Tracy?
Yeah, yeah, I remember why that was there.
Who the hell is that? Who's that creaks?
That's one of the gangsters. You know, it's like an inmate.
No, the the running was dope. The.
Yeah, this. Oh, the pole.
Oh, I hated pole. No pole vote was the shack.

(44:24):
I hated pole. You know why I liked it?
Because I'm like sometimes I don't know if I'm going to make
it like, but what? I did.
But what I did, I was like. Yes, yes.
Canoeing. Yep, couldn't do.
They had everything. Archery isn't great for me, but
yeah, archery was dope. They had everything in this
shit. I remember hitting the my
fucking thumb with hurt from hitting the fucking shit.
Dude no, this broke control. Yeah, this was.

(44:45):
Oh, that that actually looks. Cool.
No, this was Archer. Looks cool.
Yeah, this was very. Triple jump and running and he
had looked totally different than.
The other one, Yep, they they enhanced 10, that's what.
The hell fucking gymnastics. Yeah, I forgot about that shit.
I was never good at that. Oh my God, no.
It was terrible. I was never good at that.
That was cheating that. Was triple the triple jump as.
This is triple. Jump as Superman, yes.

(45:08):
This is the There he goes the legs.
Triple jump never skips leg This.
Is no bit animation. Yeah, yeah, that's 8 bit
animation. Yo my man went fly first of all.
God, look at that, he can go in.The fuck?
Yo. Flu.
Let's go. Wow, that.
Is indeed Superman. I mean they they push the
hardware limits on this game. Yeah, look at that crowd.

(45:29):
Wow, so who? So who played this?
I definitely played it. I didn't play.
Oh, the. Fencing and the skeet shooting.
Swimming. What else more speech shooting?
I I already know my oh Taekwondo.
I already know my rating. I already know my rating all
right, I'm giving this an essential This did everything
wow, this did everything like this did everything.

(45:50):
There's so much variety in that fucking game.
And the games were good. They were not throwing games,
except for that shooting shit. Shooting gangsters.
That's not Olympic. That'll treat me.
That bonus might have been a bonus level.
Maybe, maybe, but no, this did so many.
There's so many fun events you could do.
Yeah, I hated the fact that theycan just Your game is over.

(46:11):
It's a certain point if you needto get the points.
Yeah, yeah, you can't play the other games.
You can't play the other games. Like now you suck, you're out of
here. But no, no, that's that's an
essential for me. It was so, so dope.
Yeah, I think that's the best Olympic based game obviously on
the system and on most systems actually.
If you have NES, you have to have that.

(46:31):
You have to have this game. There's so much you could do on
it. There's so much.
This is the track and field thatI would definitely recommend.
Wow. That's why I didn't really care
about the other one. Yeah, I think I played this like
and. The other one was a great.
Introduction Far more the. Other one was a great
introduction into to that style,but this is on steroids.
It's one of the essentials you should have on the system.
Yeah, even though there's some things on it that was like ho

(46:52):
hum, like canoeing I was never abig fan of.
I was, I was terrible at that, yeah.
So you also give it essential. But it's it's essential.
What are you Chuck? As far as joystick breaking
games, it's essential. I'm pretty sure I played it, but
I don't remember a little bit. I think I played fencing and
maybe the skeet shooting. I can't give it.

(47:14):
I can't give it an essential forme if I can't like completely
draw back on those memories. But I wouldn't give it anything
lower than a good. OK, you know, it's funny.
It's like you could that's the thing about like when you play
something so long ago, it's like, but then you watch it,
you're like, no, I play this. I'm sure I played this before.
I remember this shit but. It's, well, yeah.
It's huge memories with that game, Yeah, huge memories.
A lot of people who. Plus you just have to.

(47:35):
It's so competitive, yeah, down to the millisecond.
That's what makes it fun, man. I can do better.
I could throw that javelin further.
I could do that. No, that would hook you to being
try to beat your score or beat someone else.
Now that that's that's why that's easily and essential.
So we're we're tying the good tier and the essential tier.
I mean, we had to get more than just Contra up there, true.

(47:56):
Funny thing is, like I didn't I knew this was on the list, but I
just didn't know what I was gonna grade it until we start
talking about and I'm like, no, this game is like almost
flawless like that was just wow.There's so much variety in in.
There for a Nintendo game yeah, 15 different games in it yeah,
that's and they were totally different.
That's insane and they were goodspace though.
Tell you. That's a murderer.
That's a murder. They all look like killers man.

(48:19):
It's the lighting. Wow.
Dude, you can't have arthritis playing this stuff.
Oh, I can't. We can't.
We can't roll, dude. I can't.
I can't hit the buttons. Like that I think it probably
cause like. This.
If you do this, if you slide, ifyou slide your finger between
the buttons, you could you couldpossibly.
Do causes arthritis? Get a piece of paper.
I can't kill that thing. What we?

(48:40):
Got next we got. Top Gun released November 1987.
It's a flight combat simulator based on the hit movie
remembered for its challenging refueling and landing sequences.
1 of Konami's most well known licensed NES games.
Oh, I, I wish, I wish Turbo was here because he got, he played,
I think through the entire game.I don't why, why, why, why did

(49:02):
he do that? Why would he do that to himself
the entire game? Why would he do that to himself?
He's trying to be Tom Cruise. Bro this game is.
One of the worst memories I everdid Today I.
Same. No, same dude.
I. Remember the need, the need for
speed. I I played this a mutual friend
of ours from from elementary school.

(49:23):
I'm not going to say the name, but I played at his house and I
remember I was excited because Iwas like, oh shit, Top Gun.
I like the movie Let's play. Nope, Nope, try to land.
Nope. Up, up, up, up.
Nope, crash. Crash.
I think that's one of the worst.Things you.
Could do is land in this game? Oh my God dude.
So I don't even know if I'm qualified to rate it because I

(49:47):
never was able to land. No, not.
Again, like, like I is that this, I was like, that's a
general, is that a general assessment, 'cause like never
like I had issues getting the fuel, first of all.
Someone someone out there is like yo landing was easy.
Yeah, yeah. Like, yo, I never landed once.
I never. I could not.
And there was, I was like, Oh no, yeah, yeah, I think.

(50:09):
And then you see this shit goes and I'm like, I what?
Am I doing? If you show me, if you show me
that scene of him trying to land, it's nightmares.
I it's nightmares. I hate it.
Yeah, I. Yeah.
Dude. And if I'm gonna, you know, I'm
pretty sure that's probably whatthe entire game is, right?
Like I I don't think it changes after the first stage.
'Cause I think I see someone online land and it looked easy.

(50:31):
I'm like, well, wasn't for me. No.
Plus it looks like a fake afterburner.
Like it's not you can't see the plane.
There's. Not enough going on in
Afterburner is leagues better. There's not enough going on in
the sky. There's not enough.
I think we might have our first trash, yes.
I believe so. Yeah, I never played it so.
That's gonna lie next. You're lucky, Chuck.

(50:52):
You're lucky You're not intrigued by the footage.
Nope. I'm jealous, Chuck.
Dude, I'm sure you're saying. Afterburners on.
I'm sure people have made entireepisodes about that landing
sequence. We've had, I think we owned this
game, dude. Did you?
Yeah, Chris and my brother Chrisand Turbo played it and I I
think Chris stopped and Turbo, Iwonder why.

(51:13):
And Turbo kept it going, but I don't know how.
I don't know if he beat the game.
I want to. I got to ask him if he beat the
game because why would he do that?
I I tried multiple times to beatthe first stage multiple.
Dude, I can't land. I can't fucking land.
I'm like, this is impossible. I was over it.
I said no, no, Yeah, this is noteven worth my time.
Because if stage 2 is like stage1, go focus.
Here you go landing sequence. Come on, man.

(51:34):
Come on. Come on.
No, come on. Watch him make it.
Look at those graphics. I don't even know what it looks
like when he lands. Look at this guy in the.
Where are you landing like? There, so you see it right there
and then you see it says speed down, down.
Whatever the 3D effect. Speed down, speed down and it's
going to go. Up got to be 200.
Is it going to make it left, left, left, left left?

(51:55):
It's the area you have to be at.A soul.
My up, up. What do you mean up?
Left, left. I could never do this.
What the fuck are you talking about?
What are you telling me to understand?
Why is it going up? Left.
Dude, this is so left. Dude, just tap the button twice.
Like what the this guy's going to land it, but he probably

(52:15):
will. This guy's going to.
I want to. I want to see it done.
Watch how perfect this is going to be.
I've never seen it done. Because he was literally going
straight up for a while. Dude that looks like an easy
land. Yo dude I easy doesn't it
doesn't control like that first of all.
Easy, right baby? What?
Oh, you did it. No, man, dude, you know what I
mean. Come on, drop right to the
fucking Oh wait, Oh, he's thought he.

(52:37):
Did it? He did.
That's trash. No, that's trash dude.
Exactly exactly. Loads of Alba it goes in the
trash just on the landing mechanics alone.
Fuck that. Terrible, terrible damn.
I didn't want to see why would. You put that through, why would
you put someone through that at the end of every stage?
Dude, how long is it going up? That didn't make sense.
Left, Left. No.
Right. Right.
Up. Up.
What the fuck are you telling meto do?

(52:59):
Speed down. Speed down.
Dude, just that alone got me madjust watching the footage.
Speed down, yeah. What do we got next?
Top Gun, Yeah. Top Gun, the second mission at
least January 1990, improved graphics and gameplay over the
original, with more responsive controls and the ability to

(53:20):
engage in dogfights against rival aces.
I never played this. I've never played this either.
I've never did this game in my life.
I've never played this game. I knew it came out.
How'd this come out before the second Top Gun movie?
Spoilers. And I never played this I I
would assume the land you don't do landing anymore I would
assume. I hope they took that out.

(53:41):
Look at those clouds though. There's the same shit.
What? Are we looking?
At wait wait. I don't know what I'm looking.
At what is the white in the Graysupposed to represent?
That's Beetlejuice's paint. Yeah, like what is it supposed
to represent? I don't know the.
Ocean. It's the ocean.
Like at least it would be like, oh, it's clouds or it's the
ocean. No, the clouds are in.
There, those are clouds. Anyone out there played this at

(54:03):
all? I'm guarantee whoever played the
first one didn't want more of this shit because I know I
didn't. I can't believe that if I saw.
This in the store. I'd be like no, after that shit,
no, it goes and never played. It should go.
It should go in trash but it's it's I can't say I never played
it. Yeah, never played, never
played, never played. It didn't look great.
No, look, what the fuck is the? The light.
Finally, what is the white and the grey?

(54:24):
What finally got oh hey, it's blue and now it's blue.
At least you could say that's the ocean.
Now it's blue. I don't know what the white.
Is in the street. It's not.
Supposed to be it's like it's not supposed to be clouds St.
no, no, no, I don't know it's getting me mad get it off all
right get it off trash I put in the trash Nah yeah, I never
played it's going you got to gotto follow the rules man no trash

(54:46):
I mean we we could probably assume it's trash, but we got to
be look at that so trash occupied by is occupied by Top
Gun and then never played Top Gun holding it down hold it down
filled in those blanks. Is there Part 3?
Because it's. It's going to be at the bottom,
I promise. Part 3 is for PlayStation 4.

(55:07):
There is another time. Yeah, actually I think from.
Is here. From air combat I think there's
a Top Gun like skin you could buy.
Oh wow, based off the second movie.
Wow. And that was way better by the
way. Wow, can't go any worse next
game. Russian Attack, April, released
April 1987. It's running Gun Action, a Cold

(55:30):
War themed action game where players infiltrate enemy bases
armed with mainly a knife. Notable for its difficulty in
two player Co-op mode. This shit was two players.
I've never played this man. This was two players.
How did I never go? I never played this.
Yeah, I mean, am I the only one who really played this?
No, I played it. I never played it.
Yeah, I played it. Chalky played this.
Nope. They didn't remake, I think on a

(55:50):
360. Yeah, I don't know if that was
any good, but they didn't. Remake it is.
I mean. What did you what did you guys
say about this sixty You have itor you want me to go first?
I can go OK so might be this Is the running gun similar to
Contra? Is it?
Yeah, but it's like more in the vein of Kung Fu and black Belt

(56:10):
more than anything because you they're just like up hand to
hand combat with a knife. You do have a gun at some
points, but you run out of that.But it's not that great of a
game. I would put it in the OK League
because it's OK for me. Yeah, because it's very, very
early in this type of game. It's not the worst, but yeah,

(56:34):
it's like very repetitive. Very.
As you can see right here. Just wait there and waste your
gun now. What the hell?
Yeah, it doesn't hold up a lot, but back in the day I thought it
was OK. No, you just hell yeah.
Scaled that fan. Good barbed wire.
I I Yeah, I. Wanted to like this back in a
day I always wanted to play it that run cycle, though.

(56:56):
I always always wanted to play this game and then when I played
it, I was so disappointed Wow with and then but this was when
I was young. Wow right, like if you're
disappointed when you're young yeah then it's like what the
fuck? This is nothing to me made sense
right, like it's like you get the you get the weapons like you
have this stupid turn into a what you have this stupid

(57:16):
fucking knife, right. You kill everyone with your
knife, Yeah. And then you get like that
rocket launcher, whatever that is on your You have only a
couple of shots. It goes away.
You rush into. You rush and attack.
No, I don't have anything fond about this game.
It was just a bunch of like hypeand let down to me when I was
younger and. I was like go in the.

(57:37):
Trash. This goes in the fucking trash
because I didn't like this. I was disappointed thoroughly
with this game. The difficulty didn't make sense
to me. Anything you do in this game
doesn't make sense to me. It had potential to be something
good. But if you tell me, does this
game do anything better than anything else that you've played
that's similar? No, it does not.

(57:58):
Who cares about that fucking grenade that he just threw?
Who cares about that rocket launcher that you just got?
There's no excitement. There's no excitement.
I want to know. Here's a hash.
Here's a question, how is the music?
I don't fucking remember if it was good.
If it was good I would remember.Like I don't have fond memories
of this game and I wanted to I didn't play it 2.

(58:19):
Players. It's two players.
But it is two players. But what did?
So that means two people have togo through that.
Wait. Oh God, Jet packs.
Yeah, that's the why. Why are they in the game?
What the heck? Why are they in the game?
They're like turtles. They're Ninja Turtles.
Like no, I I don't. I just don't.
I wanted to like this so bad. I can't even give it an OK
because I didn't enjoy it when Iplayed it.
So what are we? I'm giving it a trash Styx.

(58:41):
Is giving it an OK? It kind of reminds me of like
the arcade version of Rygar, which is repetitive as hell.
Also, you just keep running, yeah?
Stab, stab, stab. All right.
Can I have a handgun? Yeah, so.
Everyone else is armed to the tee and I have a fucking blue.
It's not far from trash, it's not far from trash, but I
wouldn't put it in the trash because it's so it's OK.
Let's go to the chat bare. Minimum what is the chat say?

(59:03):
Lords of Alba, he said. It didn't really hold you.
Would you say that's trash or OKit?
Comes down to the chat. I have.
No, I have. I don't care where it goes.
And The funny thing is, when I first saw it, I said, oh, this
gets an OK, but I'm like, no, I have no good memory.
I would not one. When you watch the gameplay,
yeah, I had none. I remember being mad every time
I played this game. It's another stage.

(59:23):
It's nothing I would go back to.Play Oh, he has a handgun.
That dog. Oh, dogs.
Killed the seal. Oh.
That's the same dog killed the dog into he killed like 10 dogs.
Look, look at what's happening right now.
Look, look what's going on. I mean you saying at?
Least the background is okay. Yeah, at.
Least the background is actuallythat's actually better than gold
Max 3 background. So you're not supposed are you

(59:44):
supposed to just stay there? And yeah, I don't know.
I never made it this far. Thank.
You look about that trash. Wow, it looks like it wanted to
do some good things and it failed miserably on all
accounts. Listen, like I said, in the same
realm as Kung Fu, yeah like and people didn't give that a trash,
but it is what it is. I like I.
Like good. I had good memories.

(01:00:04):
Stop it, David. I had good memories.
Welcome to the stream. Stop it, David.
Listen man, it could be great tohave all.
Righty hey, so if you have good memories with this, God bless
you. So Russian attack is joining Top
Gun? Yeah for the trash yeah.
You don't know how bad I wanted to like that game.
You don't. I wanted to like it so bad, I

(01:00:26):
hated everything about it. Is one of the worst things man
when that happens. They really kept the sober
scheme going, still going. Hey, listen, shout out to that.
Because. I never noticed.
At least you know, that's what you, you know, a kami game.
Never noticed, never stood out to me.
Like yo that's a silver game. Must be Konami.
Never thought of it. Now it does.

(01:00:47):
All right. Next we got.
Jackal released September 1988 Running gun vehicle combat
Players control armed jeeps on amission to rescue Pows.
Praised for its Co-op play and mix of shooting and strategy.
Yo, let me go first on. This one I.
Got to go first on this one. I've never been so happy at a
Christmas time I got this and I got Metal Gear one.

(01:01:10):
This game is first of all it's easy, easily essential for me
easily. It is so fucking fun Co-op, so
many different weapons and and and things you can do in this
game. The music is also dope.
Difficulties up there. Difficulty is definitely up
there, but it's so awesome. It's everything you want in the

(01:01:32):
Co-op game, man. This is this is up there with
like this is up there with Contra, even though they don't
play anything like but it's up there with Contra in terms of
how fun. Even the the sound effects are
very underrated in this game. The sound effects are very under
and I love running people. You kill my tub lifter.
I got to say I'm jealous of you because on Christmas I got never

(01:01:53):
played this by the way, and on Christmas I got RoboCop and
Snake's revenge. So you got.
You got shit it all, I got the complete opposite.
You got, you got. That was my Christmas, yo.
You got turned into a fucking night.
That was my Christmas, bro. No, but this game, it's
difficult, man, it's really difficult, but it fine tunes

(01:02:15):
your skills like you, your reflexes like look at these
motherfuckers are. How does it?
How does it play Co-op Awesome like you don't get confused with
those like a different color. No, it's like a.
It's like he's red or a. Green.
Or green. Or red or some shit like that.
It's dope. It's it's like it's like Contra
mixed with Rambo for for sake and master system mixed mixed

(01:02:36):
with It's like so much. They take the cool elements of
those games nice and and what a little hint of chop lifter, you
know, with saving hostages in there.
And it's just cool, man. It's a really cool difficult.
Game. What a very appropriate last
boss. It makes you feel like you're
not going to fucking win at all.But this isn't essential.

(01:02:58):
If you if you ever own the NES and and and or if you're alone
on an island with NES, nothing else, you have to own this game.
Jackal is dope. Run that motherfucker over.
There you go. Always run those fucks over.
But yeah, easily essential for. Me there is something special
about this game. I don't know what it is, but it
really stands out, especially for NES.

(01:03:19):
This is a much better version ofAkari Warriors, yeah.
There you. Go much better.
Yeah, absolutely. And they just did it better.
I don't know why, but like it. It does remind me of Rambo.
Also for the sake of the. Scrolling the Yeah, the Blowing
up the houses, the. Stuff you do is basically based
off that type of gameplay, but this one did it just so much
better. Yeah, like saving the hostages,

(01:03:42):
the fact that if you blow up youcan just go back and save them
and stuff. It's so dope.
So that's that that that chop lift element.
But listen this is actually fromwhat I saw at the arcade.
I think the NES 1 is better but I could be wrong because I
didn't really played this much in the arcade and.
The stage variety is amazing. Yeah, look at it.
But yeah, definitely recommendedto play if you haven't.

(01:04:03):
That sucks. When that happens, it just runs
you over. I think you had both buttons.
You come back. Oh yeah, Yeah, you come.
Back but yeah, there's some about this two players that's
just magical so he did the rightthing there.
I definitely give this an essential because I much, much
rather play this than any other type of game that's running gun
like overhead like this for the NES.

(01:04:24):
This is the best one. He's.
Wow, never played. I missed out man.
So you never played either all? Right, so both y'all should
stream this. Yo, that'll be fine yourself.
I would, I would, I would love to see that.
The anger that would, I mean, I would have been.
It's a really difficult game. Yeah, I remember being the game
though. But I mean, I think they give
you a lot of continues, though. Oh, they do that on three lives.

(01:04:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, good, good, good.
Yeah, but I think you if you runout.
If it's like, if it's like thoseother games by the last level, I
think you got to live. That that.
Oh, really? I think that might be it.
Usually that's how it works. 'Cause I remember dying in the
last bus. I'm like, oh that's it.
Oh fuck you like. Yeah, that's all those games.
I don't know if it was built into the the structure of the
game, but all of those games youcould continue into the last.

(01:05:08):
Last, last level, yeah. And then it just stops giving
you continue. Gotcha.
I think that's what you got to power through.
That's crazy. Yeah.
And then? If your your partner starts
dying, you start getting mad at them.
Oh dear. Like we're going to make it to
the last. That means they all.
Start falling apart. The same code.
Oh yeah, probably has a code. All of those games they copied
the same code and made a slight adjustment.
There you go. All right, so essential.

(01:05:30):
That's easy. Essential for me.
Hell, yeah. All right.
The essential list is growing. Yeah.
It leads the pack. Jackal Special.
Yeah, leads the pack. Yeah.
Never a sequel, never anything. Actually need to play that
again. I haven't played in a lot.
It's a. Dope game.
It's a dumb game, it's aggravating as fuck, but it's.
A dumb look. It broke the mold.
It kind of doesn't look like theother games.
No. It's still silver though, all

(01:05:50):
right. OK, next.
Next. Life Force released August 1988.
Shoot them Upside scrolling, Vertical scrolling Hybrid, A
spin off of Gradius with both horizontal and vertical stages.
2 player Co-op and unique bioorganic theme.
Considered 1 of Konami's best NES shooter.
Salamander is the other name for.

(01:06:10):
It never played this. Speaking of difficult games.
Yeah. This game was.
Fire can't see him though. E.
This game was essential. This game wasn't really fun.
Yep. What'd you like about it?
Everything music, it wasn't eventhe IT was the gameplay and how
you had like these two little bits following you around and

(01:06:33):
shooting alongside with you. Dude, I just love this.
I remember having mad fun with this game.
This was like extreme. It wasn't difficulty, definitely
wasn't easy. I'm not a fan of Bullet.
It was between this and and our type.
Basically, those are the types of games that ran like this.

(01:06:53):
The difficulty was definitely not on the same level as our
type, which made this a lot morefun.
Plus you could put in economic code, which made a hell of a lot
more fun with 30 lives. So like I said, don't play this
with three lives. You'll never see the game
because it's pretty tough. I always like this more than
Gradius or Gradius how we want to pronounce it.
But that's like their flagship and this is a spin off of it.

(01:07:17):
But I always like the the lava stages with the flames that come
out the lava. It's pretty dope.
It's the lava Lava. Yeah, but I would put this in
the great. Yeah, I always liked that I'd
looked for Nintendo. They.
Did a great job with that. It was pretty.
Crazy the arcade looked way better but for what you get I
was like this bad in ingredientsso it's going into my greats for

(01:07:40):
shooters on the system. One great, one essential style.
What have you got? I didn't play it as much as
everybody else. Plus two players.
Yeah, I don't think I own this, but I did play it.
I did play it a good deal. I do remember enjoying it.
I do remember getting waxed, like really dying a lot.

(01:08:01):
That'd be me I. Probably couldn't play this now.
Because you can't see the fucking ship.
I mean, I think this is emulation.
But it was as as far as like forthe NES, that's that's it does
everything it's supposed to do, you know, as as a shooter, you
know, you buy a shooter for, youknow, 8 bit system.
You can do far worse. And then this is, yeah, this is

(01:08:23):
up there. I'll, I'll give it a great.
It's it's these games are so fucking difficult, dude.
Like I'm I'm looking for like atthe list, like we really grew up
with this shit. Like this was really fucked up.
Like like I said, the Konami code man.
It's almost like you, you're notsupposed to win the shaped
childhoods, man. Yeah.
No, seriously, No. This was difficult, man.

(01:08:44):
Wow. But it was good.
It was, it was. It was good.
It goes for that trap. If he went for that special he
would have got you ripped the. Player, I would have gotten
that. That would have happened to me.
I'm bad. I'm bad at shooters.
I'm really bad. Anyway, definitely up there.
So we're throwing it in the great Y'all right next to Blaze

(01:09:05):
of Seal. That's voices, man.
I love that. And then the the the, the shiny,
the the glisten, whatever sound that is that.
Was in every every economic sound doesn't even matter.
What he's trying to say, yeah. They didn't say Metal Gear

(01:09:26):
though. No, definitely.
Not oh boy, what we got. Here we go.
The Goonies 2 released November 1987.
Action adventure platformer, A sequel to the first Japan only
game, combining side scrolling action with first person
exploration. Remembered for its quirky design

(01:09:47):
and cryptic progression. Not remembered.
I remember this you know only rented this I exact that's the
only reason why I know I need footage because I remember these
I did not like this. I definitely played this.
I'm watching this and I'm like new ohh God Nope.
I I was like. 13I. Was like thank God I didn't
freaking buy this. Not this game is tragic.
I rented this. I was like, now I rented this.

(01:10:09):
I was like. The side scrolling part, but
it's it's. Yeah, let me see the side.
Scrolling part this just doing these two doesn't exist.
It never happened. It never happened.
No, this game was. Top of the list.
Stop that right here. Stop that, right?
Now this is the top of the OK. This I do remember that.
It's a bad game. No, this is bad.
I I can't even bro this is bad. I just don't remember it.

(01:10:32):
Look at that. I remember this shit.
Look at that 3D. This is like the first.
This is like the first 5 minutesyo-yo.
Yes, I remember the yo-yo. Why is my dude a clown?
I was not not a fan of this dude.
Who's the redhead in Goonies? That's a great question dude.
Goonies 2. Two well, Goonies 2 didn't

(01:10:52):
happen yet. No, this is this is not a good
game. No, this is trash.
This was not a good game. However, those bricks look
pretty good. The bricks look pretty good.
What's up with them making seagulls to things that never?
Happened. You know what?
I don't even remember the. Music and two, the Town Gun 2
didn't happen at the time. Goonies 2 didn't happen at the
time. This is the fake Goonies.
This is not Goonies. Yeah, they just put the name on

(01:11:13):
the title. Clown Man.
Absolutely. The clown man.
With yo-yo. It was a Japanese game that they
just like, yeah, just put the name, just put the name.
That's the dude from Star Tropics that like we can't get
the licensing, so we'll make it Part 2.
This is Chris like. Why is his legs like that as
he's going down? Oh my God, this is the I.
This is. I've never even got this far by

(01:11:33):
the way. I never played this.
I never turned this far dude. Not this thing, this is.
Turn this off. This is a bad rental.
It's Cavern, Chris. Turn that off.
Cavern, Chris. Hell yeah it is changed.
So here's the funny part. Actually, no, I thought that.
I thought that was in the trash.But it should be the Top Gun,
too. Should be If we played.

(01:11:54):
If we played it, yeah, it'd be in a trash.
But the Goonies too is going in trash.
The Goonies. Too will definitely occupy that
spot for you. They'll keep it nice and warm.
Such a bad game. If it was, Oh my God, I read to
that. I was like, oh, oh, this is
terrible. I've been bamboozled.
This is terrible. It has nothing to do with The
Goonies I. Didn't even like try to give it
a second chance and like try to play the like light and I was

(01:12:16):
like. What's the What's the storyline?
Nope, I wasted my money. What's the story?
Does it matter? I need the instruction but no.
There you go. That dude is not in the game.
Nope. Nope.
What we got? Oh boy, I forgot they even made
that. Metal Gear released June 1988.

(01:12:39):
Action adventure Slash Stealth introduced stealth based
gameplay to consoles. Tasking players with
infiltration over direct combat launched 1 of Konami's most
iconic franchises. This is the first one.
This is before we get into this one.
I want to kill this shot real quick because it's been sitting
here. Oh you damn.
Damn. Wow, I killed mine.
Damn, that's unacceptable, dude.Cheers.

(01:13:02):
Cheers. All right, who played?
Who played this? I never had this because I had
Snake's Revenge, so I never. Played this.
You got, yeah, you got. You got the.
Fake ones. I've never got the luxury of
playing this. I wish I did.
Now looking at this, I'm like, oh, this is what it's supposed
to be, chocolate. You never play this.

(01:13:24):
Maybe. I think I watched somebody play
this for a little bit, but I never played it myself.
Yeah, I saw you. I saw you in.
Turbo you to play it. And I was like, these stupid
dogs, get this game out here. Like I never cared back then.
So I didn't really like the the hiding mechanic back in those
days. I was too young to give it the
time of day because you punch them and they just look stupid.

(01:13:45):
I just like man. But knowing where it went, I can
see how it sent, like how popular.
Or, you know, this was the game.This game was extremely deep.
Yeah, well. The things that it did on the
the on the NES is still to this day.
I'm like, wow, they were really ambitious with a lot of stuff
that they did. The amount of different weapons

(01:14:07):
you can get in this game the the.
I couldn't see their vision. Yeah, it was.
It was what I thought the game was when I had it.
It turned out to be so much more.
Yeah. Especially in the days of just
running guns. Yeah, I always thought if they
did a remake of this game to today's standards, I think it

(01:14:28):
would be fucking phenomenal. I'm surprised they didn't.
Like, yeah, like that would be cuz look at it like the original
Metal Gear like that, that it was just so it was so cool, so
fun. There was so much mystery behind
every door. Is it a new weapon?
Is it a trap? Is it like someone I have to
save? It was just a lot of cool shit

(01:14:50):
happening and it was almost an overload of like stimulation as
a video game, Like, Oh my God, Igot to do this.
Got to make sure I have rations.Got to make sure this I think.
That's where I learned the word ration.
Yeah, yeah. It's like what?
The fuck is that? So like for the NES, just for
the NES I have to give it essential like this was like you
have to own this. Game, but nothing's like it.

(01:15:10):
Yeah, it really was a one-of-a-kind, and it was.
And it and it sparked one of thebest series.
I used to think bloody wolf is so much better and it didn't age
as well. No.
I watched it recently. And.
I love bloody Wolf at the time, like just rooms like this here,
you can't walk over that. You have to use your remote
control missile to go. Like there's so many different

(01:15:31):
things that you had to do. Obviously, you did a lot of it
and that'll get solid, obviously, yeah.
But yeah, this was on 8 bit, not32 bit.
It it, they really went in deep with this and and it was, it's
insanely impressive for the. Time, I think that psycho Kojima
had the idea back then, yeah, yeah, on that, on the Nintendo
or actually on the MSMSXI think it came out like originally and

(01:15:55):
he had that idea then. Yeah, I can't.
I I was going to give it a gradeoriginally, but now I'm like, I
was thinking. I was like, Nah, this is
essential. This is this was one of the best
games on the NES. I wouldn't argue.
I wouldn't play it still, but I wouldn't argue.
I'm not playing that shit now. I'm not arguing.
I'm not saying that shit age. Well, I'm not arguing.
If I had an 8 bit system, that'sall I had.

(01:16:15):
I'm going to have to, I'm going to believe you because I played
Snakes revenge and never played this.
So revenge was. But I was highly regarded as
worse. Highly regarded as worse,
regardless of if I played that one or not.
And it's fucked up because I tried to like because I'm like,
oh, I got. This all you got?
So that's all you got. I have.
My own try my best. I have my own separate opinion
of the the other one, but this one I give an essential all

(01:16:36):
right. Speaking of the other.
One, so we're going to go. Probably going to be.
Yeah, well, we got to put this in the essential first.
Oh boy. He ruined it.
He ruined the silver, ruined it.Yeah, Jackal and Mailman.
Were. Dope Christmas gift.
Those are like, you know, top ofthe line games.
That look at the design though, man, that'll get ruined

(01:16:56):
everything. Oh boy.
Well, we got. So the next we got.
Snake's Revenge released April 1990.
Action Adventure Stealth, a non Canon sequel to Metal Gear
developed specifically for the Western market, featured
improved graphics inside scrolling segments, but lacked
Hideo Kojima's involvement. Wow.

(01:17:17):
So wow. Wait, I mean, you probably can't
go back to the other other art because that didn't have Ultra
on it, did it it? Was the other art.
Yeah, it did. So Ultra is the same company as
Konami, but they could. They did that because they
couldn't release more than, I think four to seven games, I
think, a year. So they had to come up with
separate companies to bring out the game.

(01:17:38):
So this is still Konami, but that's why it's not Gray and it
looks like that this game looks it looks like it should be
better. This is bad memory, this Metal
Gear. Alright, so this is the thing
with with me in this game, I don't have as many bad memories.
What a lot of people do. Obviously they they fucked up a

(01:17:58):
lot of shit with this game. Oh my God.
But if you know when you play itfor the first time, you're like,
this is, yeah, this looks like asequel.
And they try and add more actionlike.
Did they do wrong? I mean, to be honest, it was
kind of like the same, but they added like a side scrolling
element to it, which wasn't bad,but at the same time it wasn't
good. It didn't help the gameplay.

(01:18:20):
This is pretty much the same shit as one like the stuff
that's in here that you're watching now.
It's like the same stuff the dogs as as one but.
It really gave my dude a red suit though.
No, this is, this was not good. But yeah, I mean, this
definitely fell fell to the wayside and didn't really, I

(01:18:43):
mean, it still kept a variety ofthe weapons still, you know,
kept the, you know, you know, espionage, fucking sneaking
around and all that shit. It's basically Metal Gear
Survive version of I wouldn't, Iwouldn't go that far.
I wouldn't go that far. Well, I'm saying in the in the
fact that Kojima had nothing to do with cause 'cause cause
Survive is just, I don't know. I'm saying what?

(01:19:03):
Why is there a met? At least I'm saying in the in
the fact that Kojima had nothingto do with this at all.
Well, this has nothing to do with it not.
Camp well, but yeah. But at least it looks like a
Metal Gear game. The other thing even has nothing
to do with the story. Yeah, yeah.
No, this is just that. This is a side whatever that
they came up with. They just tried to.
Melt. But oh man, I'm not going to say
I didn't enjoy the game. It was.
I mean, the colors do look better though.

(01:19:24):
Yeah, I give them that the ground look better.
I would give the time that I played, I'd give it an OK when I
played it. Wow, I'd give it an OK when I
played it. I didn't play this.
I didn't play this at all. Me neither.
Trash al if you could find the side scrolling part if it's on
if on there I just want to. Is it in this door?
I'd take no because they tried to do something different, it

(01:19:46):
just wasn't executed good. They like putting their hands.
Up that's the only animation they know dude, fuck there it
goes yeah, he's. Actually the link.
Extra. Thick look at that animation.
Hell yeah, Russian attack all day.
That is right, yeah. But yeah, the fact that they

(01:20:07):
tried to do that, I was like, OK, that's something different.
But the execution I'm like, look, look how look how that
that makes no. Sense Oh trash man Wait no, he
has another. I'm about to say he's no way
dude, you can't see him. Should have been more aware man.
He saw his head pop out. The whatever.
Oh blast. This.

(01:20:28):
He fell through the floor, Dude,I never like that in games when
they fall off the stage like completely.
Yeah. So where's this going?
I give, I give it, I give it OK.I give it OK.
I'm still giving it. It's not changing for me.
Man this is a trash. Damn.
So you got to go to the, you gotto go to the chat.
Yeah, Chat. Anybody in the chat play this
game? Snake's Revenge.

(01:20:49):
What do we rate it? What do we give it?
I mean, I can pretty much assureyou where it's probably going to
end up, but we'll leave it up tothem give.
Them a sad Christmas, damn, he said.
It was a sad Christmas. It was a sad Christmas, man.
He's blonde. But yeah, I remember how excited

(01:21:09):
I was too when I. Got blonde?
That's like brownish, no, Is thefact that there was a lot of
elements from one that were in there and those were still
pulled off the same way. That's why I'm like, I can't go
to trash because it's still likeone.
But like the things that they added, he said it was.
OK. Yeah, yeah, I still think it's
an OK game, but it's like, you know, it's kind of a.
Let it's a worst. Game, it's just it's a let down.

(01:21:30):
It's just worse than one. It's kind of like how I look at,
you know, a little bit like Simon's quest in the sense like,
you know, there was good ideas, but there was just a let down,
you know, no execution. Yeah, the execution wasn't
there, but but yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't the worst game in the
world. I mean it's fine.
We could we need more in OK section.
Anyway, oh, it's starting to. It's starting to look, even look
even out. Oh God.

(01:21:52):
Evening. Oh God.
Oh dear. All right, next game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at least June 1989 action platform
a piece of notorious for his punishing difficulty and
infamous underwater damn level. Despite mixed reviews, it was a
commercial hit due to the popularity of the TMNT

(01:22:15):
franchise. This is another one.
Can I start? This is an odd one, man.
Yeah, well. I'm starting.
I remember being so excited to play this God damn game and I'm
like, oh, wow, this is cool. Like Donatello is cool,
Michelangelo is cool. Rafael was straight trash

(01:22:35):
because he had no no range, but and Leonardo is cool to play.
All right, cool. First stage was Matt was was
kind of fun. Like the music?
First stage was kind of fun. Second stage, that was a damn
right. Yep, game over.
What up not, Sir? Turn, turn, turn.
What's in the second stage, really?
Yeah, second stage, right into turn.

(01:22:56):
They're trying to get you out ofthere.
Turn that shit off second stage.I can't.
You can't beat it as a as a kid playing this game.
Playing this game as a kid, bro,no.
Get good. No, that was the first get good.
Yo this. Turn yo turn this game off.

(01:23:18):
I'm getting angry. Put this in the trash.
Put this in the you know what? I I would definitely agree with
you, but however that theme songin the first stage, you have a
good time just for that alone because I did enjoy it.

(01:23:42):
I'm going to give it OK just forthat, just for that, because the
difficulty and everything else. This game belongs in the.
Trash listen. It was a cash grab, man.
It was this game. Belongs in the.
Trash and nowhere. Else.
It was. Turtles.
It was the only turtles we had for a while.
Looking back at it, Listen, I'm not giving credit to the game.

(01:24:04):
It's not the greatest game of all time.
I thought at the time that it was an OK game and I still think
it's an OK game now I don't think it's good because of parts
like this, but I played far worst on the system.
Like this was not one of the worst games I played on the
system. Look at this bro, look at this.

(01:24:25):
I mean he sucks, don't get me wrong you can do better than
that, but the game itself I think did.
I would put it in the OK section.
I won't put it in trash because I played some real bad games for
Nintendo and this is not one of them.
You're putting this in the OK section.
It's not better than Turtles in the Arcade that doesn't go
anywhere near. Putting this in the game
section. That doesn't go anywhere near

(01:24:46):
OK. This is.
Do we? Should we have your drug test?
This is OK. This you got your.
You got your thing. This in the OK.
Yeah. You got you I.
Said OK also because of. The oh fuck it's.
Not. It's not the worst game.
It's not a great game at all by any means.
Look, the the franchise is dope,right?

(01:25:06):
Everybody loves the Turtles, but.
Look, most of it is not turtles I.
Feel like turtles. It feels like a cash grab.
This. Ain't Goonies though.
It feels like a cash grab. This is not Goonies too, though.
Especially after you played the arcade in the arcade and then
you go and then you get this andyou're like.
Oh, this is. See this, this is the thing
about this game, right? It's, it's so hard.

(01:25:28):
I'm, I'm, I'm a little bit conflicted because like, like I
got to, I got to think 8 bit, right?
You gotta think 8 bit I. Gotta beat this game.
All right, if we're saying is this a good game, No, it's not a
good game. I think we could all agree this
is not a good game. Yep, Ninja Turtles for NES is
not a good game. If someone says this game is
trash, I'm not gonna fucking argue with them, right?

(01:25:50):
But there are things I. Played Three Stooges.
Like when I think of the 8 bit worst games right I think a
Superman, I think a spider man, I think of Goonies 2, RoboCop, I
think RoboCop I think Ninja Turtles is like.
Baby step above it. Like I'm talking a baby step,

(01:26:14):
baby shit baby. Like a baby step.
I'm talking the green baby. Shit, it's very close to trash,
but it's not trash. It is.
It is. On the cusp of a trash game, and
if you're putting it towards games now, yes.
If there was a category between trash and OK, I would throw it

(01:26:35):
right there. I have to listen.
I have to give it an OK, I thinkI have to oh shit, I'm the
lowest level. OK as you can do because I yes,
for the time I I wanted a turtles game, right?
The arcade was booming. This came out and I played this

(01:26:59):
a lot. There was some enjoyment
somewhere. As a Turtles fan, I wouldn't
recommend this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's OK. You just said it was trash.
As a game. You literally just said it was
trash. But if as a game it's OK.
Oh my God. Like, like, there's, there's
variety in the stages, there's variety in the bosses, there's
variety, you know, which is always a plus in games.

(01:27:23):
It doesn't have to be a turtle. But yeah, yeah, you could swap
out the turtles and put regular dudes.
It's just a regular. Type of game.
You know what I'm saying? So like one one of the worst
turtles games ever made. Sure, Absolutely.
Fuck yeah. So I'll, I'll throw it in the
OK. Like a low OK.
Yeah. I will never.
I will. I will never argue with anyone

(01:27:45):
saying this game is trash. Never.
Yeah, I think I. Was about to say trash and then
I remembered the music. I think you're holding OK into
such a too high regard. It's still down there.
For me, it was just the music. That was it, that track, that
one. Track is decent one track hit by
the car because I. Still, remember, you get hit by
a car and then you lose your turtle.

(01:28:06):
Yeah, you lose Donatello when the game's over.
If you lose Donnie, yeah, good luck, Good luck.
But yeah, this was I'll, I'll, I'm OK with, with, with calling
it, OK. And you're barely ever going to
see that water level. Even though it's the second
stage, you're not going to make it there.
It's not happening. How many times you make it to

(01:28:27):
the damn level? Never.
Ever actually, that describes itthe best job Alba and OK, I was
excited playing the first level as my favorite turtle, but it
took a took an elbow turn. It's like all right, it's like
paddle toes, right. You play that first stage, you
get a little happy and then it'slike, what the fuck?
Just. Happened.
It turns into. Totally different.
It turns into. Complete.
Hell on earth dude. This stage, this shit got me

(01:28:49):
man. And that's considered not trash
though. Come on.
No turn this. Game, I would give that an OK.
Also, to be honest, I would givea.
Turn this game I'm upset I. Know it's like I'm mad Chuck, I
was this close to saying trash, but I'm like, I did get
enjoyment. I did get some enjoyment

(01:29:10):
somewhere. It's not the best hurdles by
far. It's the worst hurdles by far.
Speaking of turtles, I got to I got to rock with that new
splinter. I think it might be out Splinter
Fate DLC. Oh, you'll be seeing it soon.
I fucking love that game. That's that's essential.
As soon as we can get everybody together.
Yeah, we gotta get turb, we gotta get turbs.
Bitch ass. Stop popping out babies.
He's got like 5 babies on the way.

(01:29:33):
Now imagine you have like 5 babies.
What's going on? They're.
Gonna have their own podcast. I feel betrayed.
What's the next game? No, let's, let's take a minute.
I need a moment of silence. Next game, all right.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 the arcade game released

(01:29:53):
December 1990. It's a beat em up, a faithful
nest port of the popular arcade game featuring two player Co-op,
colourful sprites and additionalexclusive stages not in the
arcade version. That true?
I don't fucking know. The Arcade.
Game maybe, I guess. I just have more than arcade at
all. Oh man, that's different.
Maybe, yes, maybe a different stage.

(01:30:15):
Essential for you really. After playing that trash, are
you trying me? Bro, but that's that's like a
high like rating though, that's up there.
I would say like not great. I had so much enjoyment playing
this game after playing that piece of.
Trash. So there's no flaws in it that

(01:30:35):
you that you remember. It wasn't a perfect game, but it
was fun as hell and I remember playing this over and over and
over and over and over again. OK, you know how many times I
played the first game I. At least was.
Essential. Wow.

(01:30:56):
All right, all right. What about you sticks?
Me, I thought this game was repetitive as hell yeah.
I don't know what happened with it.
I liked it in arcade hell yeah. And I, I put up with this one
because it was the one available.
It's two players and it was way better than one.
But I thought that something about this game, it didn't kick

(01:31:17):
for me because it was too repetitive because it was
literally this move that he's doing.
That's the whole game. You know what it is, There was
no throw. And there's no throw.
The fact that there was no throwin your combo.
And there's no. Destroyed everything.
That's what you do. This is how I played the game.
So you never played the enemy, you try to do a combo, they they
interrupted and punch you. So you do that cheap move over
and over because it kills him with one hit, and then you do a

(01:31:38):
jump kick. So you're doing that throughout
the entire game. So that's why it's repetitive.
So for me I was blinded. I this is the arcade.
I only played the arcade. I never.
Played the arcade but I still give this a good because they
tried very very hard to do the arcade and I did like it but
over time I was like dude this is not the thing.

(01:32:00):
For the time. For the time I thought it was,
it was good enough for me to like it, to try and be like the
arcade. But like I said, they did skip
out on a lot of stuff that was in the arcade, right?
But that's the move, and that's not a fighting game you want to
be in when you just do that move.
Gotcha. So people think of this, they
think of arcade, they do think of the Nintendo.

(01:32:21):
Style. You agree?
Yeah, for the most part. I mean, arcade obviously is
essential, but this was it was avaliant attempt.
Yeah, at trying to, because I know they understand that the
original piss a lot of people off and it wasn't anything like
the arcade, so they had to do the best they can to get that

(01:32:42):
feel on the NES and this is whatthe best they could.
The fire looked good, the stageswere done well.
I hate the stupid face the turtle has.
Everybody stops. He fucking looks at the camera.
Basically the fuck off. He's like, what do you mean?
Yeah, look. Look at that fucking he's giving
you a side item. I fucking don't like that.
The fact that there was no throwin the combo that that I think
hurt the game a lot and made it more repetitive.

(01:33:04):
But for the NES it was good. It was it was, you know, if you
have NES and you know, you didn't rock with the first
turtles, consider yourself fortunate and I would recommend
getting this instead. But I would give it, I would
give it a good it was a good game.
It's just the fact that I playedthe arcade and the arcade was.

(01:33:25):
Top. You know, it was just, it was
just so. Fucking up.
Yeah, so awesome, you know, but this was good.
Like, you know, I might even give it a very good if there was
a category, but like it was goodfor for the NES, but I I can't
give it a great yes or an essential because there's, you
know, glaring flaws, but it was good.

(01:33:47):
In Mass, yes, Ultra and Konami were the same company, but they
had restrictions on how many games they could put out per
year. So all the big companies always
had a secondary company that they just changed the name of to
put out their games. That's the workaround for what
Nintendo's the reach around, no?Do it though.
No. No.

(01:34:08):
But yes. What?
The hell Ultra and cannot be here to see Wow all.
Right. So where's it going?
That's going in good. OK.
So it's going in good. Look at everything.
Look at all even. Yeah, it's one of the most even
tier lists. The letter F Let me stop.
It is right? Now. 4 yeah.

(01:34:31):
There you go, 2 at a time. This one is wow.
Good time. Oh, shoot.
Good control. All right, next one we got.

gameplay. Often praises one of the best
TMNT games on the system. I agree with that.

true statement. I never played this man.
I would agree with that. Perfect time you know, you know,
have a have a bathroom break because I had never played this

controller most of the times because that's stupid trash ass
damn stage man. Yeah, yeah, man.
Turn that game off. You know, but it molded you,

No, they did. They did a really good job.
They added their form of a throwin the game where you'll.
I never liked that, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's their their
version of it. But no, it's good.
Combat's good. They have like special moves and
shit. Definitely easily the best

(01:38:10):
turtles game on the system, but.You know why I skipped it must
have came out after I had another system or.
Something it was probably like late to the game, but it was
good. Bosses are cool, stages are
cool, combat's cool. Little moves like that that he
just did was pretty dope. It definitely looks better than
the Arcade 1. Yeah, this is how the arcade
should have played, to be honest.
But yeah, I get this a great. This is great.

(01:38:32):
It was great for the NES, so we got essential and great.

All right, next game. Tiny Toon Adventures released

Why? Why those enemies look like
Luffy? Who?
Luffy from One Piece 0. But.

could use. This is pretty cool.
I had a good time with this game.
Didn't they make didn't they make like GI Joe the same exact
game? Similar.
Similar, right? Really.
Joe was awesome. I was.
Probably better than this. It might be I might give GI Joe
the first one. Yo look at the jump though, the

(01:49:11):
flip is crazy. But the slow down, it was a lot
of slow down in this game. So what would you give it?
Yeah, I would give it a good. It was good.
It was a good game. Good.
I remember enjoying it. Yeah.
By U sticks. Oh, Digital Foundry would have
killed this game if it came on now.
Slow down. Yeah, and they would have.
No. That's not correct mechanic.

It's fun. So you you said it was good.
It was a good game. Yeah, it was a good game.
So it's going in the good. It's two players, too.

(01:50:37):

it was. Now it looks like a hand.
Whatever, I'm going to listen. No, that's AE.
It's good for hand. We we even things out a little
bit. Going like this.
There was no domination though. Look at that.

left some on just so we can put something in the not not playing
category. But yes, if we if we didn't say
