And now we have something a little newer than most, but this is still over 10 years old. This was one of my favourite games of the GC era, and while I can now see that it has some problems, it still has pretty good gameplay and presentation.

NES DuckTales 2

Here we have the little-known sequel to DuckTales. Compared to Rescue Rangers 2, this is definitely closer in quality to the original game, and it makes some additions that are somewhat interesting. Most notably, the game is much less linear than its predecessor, it takes some decent exploration to complete the treasure map.
The price of this game has also really shot up in recent years. I paid $30 only a few years ago, and you'd be lucky to land this game for less than $75 now. I guess this just highlights why it's better to buy retro games sooner rather than later.

DOS XMas Skyroads

Well, the fans demanded it, this video has commentary attached to it. It's not a particularly interesting commentary, but hopefully this should stop some of the requests.
Anyway, Skyroads was an early 3D game, predating the N64 by two whole years. The gameplay is very simple, you just have to make it to the end of the stages without falling off, blowing up, or running out of fuel, but it is extremely difficult. Even clearing the first 10 stages as in the video here is no walk in the park.

SNES Pocky and Rocky

Continuing my foray into shmups, here's Pocky and Rocky. This is a game that's frequently called a "cute-em-up" for its visuals, but it's quite difficult just the same. I was originally going to do this playthrough on hard, but the cutscenes were driving me nuts so I eventually went back to normal and got this great run.

NES SCAT

We now return to more NES videos, but at least it's in a genre I don't record often. SCAT is a really technically impressive NES shmup, it looks great, has a ton of stuff on the screen, and virtually never has slowdown or flicker (in one player mode, at least).
It's not an especially hard game, but I definitely think it's underappreciated, so I wanted to do a video of it to let people see what kind of action the NES was really capable of.

Player Info:
- Tero
- I'm just a guy who plays far too many video games. I own an Intellivision, NES, SNES, N64, Playstation, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Dreamcast, Wii, Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance, DS, and PSP, as well as far more games than I could count.
I started doing these game runs both as a way to show off and to challenge myself. Mostly the former, though.
What Else is On:
Gaming Websites
GameFAQsThis is basically the number one resource for gamers. Has basically all the information about games you could ever want, and one of the biggest gaming communities out there.
Other Websites
Google VideoThese fine folks host my videos. Though the quality isn't the best, this is a great site if you have long videos to upload since you don't have to break them up.
Comic Genesis
This is a cartooning community for amateur cartoonists, though a lot of the work there rivals what you'd see in print in terms of quality. A lot of my friends have comics here.
