First party is better.

I hate doing NES-A-Thon streams. Yet I still schedule them. At least I don't have many more to do. So that's a plus!

The first game I played as a classic! Wrecking Crew! A simple game about being... an anti-construction worker. We don't build. We break. Or... wreck! The first couple levels were easy but I got stuck on level 3. And I am embarrassed that the answer was right in front of me. At the very top left I could just fall to the barrel and then break the 2 walls in the highest middle layer. Well now I know! The next game I played was Joe and Mac. Sounds like people preferred the Super Nintendo version of this game more. And maybe I can see why. You have enemies flying at you that go fast or take way too many hits. And bosses with while having simple patterns, take a minute to figure out how to defeat them. Like the first one which was a basic T-Rex. I just kept flinging weapons at it until I realized I had to hit its head. Once I figured out, that dino went extinct. The 2nd boss was a much... much bigger T-Rex. Almost literally like a larger version of the first boss. Again, had to hit the dudes head. But with bigger attacks came getting hit a lot more. I also accidentally found out if you hit up when you jump, you can jump higher. And I actually got the boss down on my 2nd try.

The third game I played was Gyromite! At first I thought I wouldn't be able to play this. But then I remembered that all ROB does is press A and B for you on the 2nd player controller. So I binded some player 2 buttons and got to play the game all on my own! No robot needed! After taking a dumbass death in the first level, I got through it on my 2nd go. On the 2nd level, I realized late into playing it that you actually needed to go a specific route. One wrong move, and you're practically stuck. So I just squished myself and moved on. Frankenstein - The Monster Returns was next. Was I playing as Frankenstein? It was hard to tell. What wasn't hard to tell was the difficult ability to defeat enemies. Especially these... skinless red dudes who jump all over the place. I don't know how I managed to stay alive. Towards the end of the level, I fought against... I don't know... a rat? I took it down no problem. After mindless exploring, I found myself in a sewer where I took on the water dragon. Oooooh scary. Admittedly though, it was quite tough but I some how defeated it and took the treasure. Then all the sewer enemies just... came back and I died. Verdict, not fun game.

Next up was Rampart. Sadly a strategy game. Not sadly, a fairly basic one. Though the instructions... were not read by me. Despite that they were put literally in front of me. So I had a base to secure my home but no cannons the first time. So I lost... obviously. My 2nd go, I did figure it out. Those attack ships stood no damn chance. Star Voyager was next. Do you like space? Do you like nothing but space? Then this is your game. Next up was SECRET SERVICE? OH BOY I WANT TO BE IN THE SEC... oh... it's silent service. whoops. Well this game was quite literally as shitty as being in the secret... or... silent service. I just pressed buttons and watched nothing happen for 5 minutes. I'm not fit for space nor water battle. I am fit to watch a small giant head being run around on my screen though. In Bonk's Adventure... well... you literally bonk your head at enemies to defeat them. I guess that's the literal definition of using your head. And apparently eating big meat chunks gives you invincibility. Maybe a super hot sauce was poured on it which is why Bonk turned red. Next up was another Nintendo classic. Balloon Fight! This is a very fun game and despite slippery controls, it's not that bad popping the enemy balloons and sending those birds to their demise!

The first bonus round was smooth sailing as I popped all 20 balloons! After that it did get a bit tougher. I did lose some lives but I never game overed. Didn't perfect the 2nd bonus game. But this game was still a nice break from all the other shitty NES games. The last game I played was shitty. Mission Impossible. At first I was confused why I kept getting taken by a helicopter. But I guess there are certain people you aren't allowed to attack. And even after that there's a big ass truck that flies you across the screen. And even when I thought I could avoid it by going slow, it comes from the other fucking side! It's like that Sesame Street short where that guy goes to a fast food place that Grover is running. All the food literally comes in quick so when the guy expects the food to come from the hole, all of a sudden it comes from the other. I had no rhyme or reason for where I was going or why I was going there. I just bumbled around hoping to see if anything would happen. Needless to say, I never made it far.

Also needless to say, movie video games are bad.
