Classic Video Games / Georg Mack Plays the Classics
« on: January 02, 2022, 05:04:42 pm »
Hey y'all, been a long time since I've stopped by, but I thought my latest project might be entertaining to some.
I'm doing a three pronged look at Nintendo and Sega's 8- and 16-bit catalog in chronological order.
I start with playing a game on Twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/headdropproductions
Then I write up a review of the game and grade it on a 4.0 scale. These appear at https://americanluchalibre.com/georg-mack-plays-the-classics/
Then I make a YouTube video of the highlights with narration from the review. https://www.youtube.com/headdropproductions
It's been pretty fun and easy so far. Thanks to games that you get the full experience of for just playing for 30 minutes. I'm working on getting a backlog of reviews and videos set up for when the games get longer and more in depth.
Something that blows my mind is that I have an 8 month gap between the NES launch titles and the next batch of releases. That's nuts that there was such a long time between releases. I wonder what kind of effect that had on consumer confidence in the product.

Saga Frontier is decent until you have no direction on where to go, which happens in every character's story. Then it's frustrating and not fun.
Or playing the superhero story and getting killed immediately if you don't get a lucky shot in. Not necessarily fun, but frustrating.

Earthbound has taken this long because of all the possible copyright infringement cases that could be brought up against it. Some say they could argue parody, but that could be a difficult argument. Hopefully they bring it to USVC. That would be great for everyone who hasn't played the game, or would like to give some money out so we can someday get a port of Mother 3.

Classic Video Games / Re: Recommend a Good RPG on DS?
« on: January 16, 2013, 08:09:29 pm »I just found out about this game and heard there is a DQ style RPG on it ... seems to be going for cheap online and if you can find it at Gamestop, its only $5. http://vgcollect.com/item/4890
Retro Game Challenge is fun. I recommend it.
