Yeah I'm still doing the NES-A-Thon. Yeah I know. In this stream, I debuted a new layout for all upcoming NES-A-Thon streams! I really like how it came out. It features everything that's in the main NeedNoMics Season 1 layout. Just... 8-bitified! Anyways... 10 more games of why do these exist and 10 brief... or long reviews of each game depending on what I can say about them.


Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road... no not that Iron Man. It's essentially another racing game. They almost look like toy cards because it's on an angled top view. And you know when we deal with 8 bit angles... oh you know I'm bound to make some bad turns. And bad turns I made. Yeah I got dead last on several of the races. Though I did get 1st in one of them. That's some sort of win.


Thunder & Lightning aren't so frightening... wait no it's just Thunder & Lightning... wait no it's just breakout. No literally. Bounce the ball on the platform you move and break the blocks. Nothing more. Nothing less. There are some unique power-ups. Other than that... it's literally breakout.


Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt... was confusing as fuck. I had no idea what the hell I was hunting for. I just ran around bouncing like Scrooge McDuck on enemies. Collecting health and candy. I don't know. Maybe this game came with a physical instruction booklet. Obviously which... I did not have.


Triple me up with Super Mario Bros + Duck Hunt + World Class Track Meet! I already played Mario 1... and I am pretty sure I already played Track Meet. So my choice? Clay Shooting in Duck Hunt. And boy did I crush it? I was 100% accurate and perfect! That clay stood no chance against my computer mouse!


Desert Commander. Also known as... what the fuck do I do? I was moving shits around. And that was about it. Do you want a game with absolute zero instruction and zero clue how to proceed? Well this is the game for you. I spent that whole 5 minutes doing fuck all. And then I pissed.


Cliffhanger. I remember this game from the Pat the NES Punk video. Where it was supposed to be his final video but then his life went to hell. Good video series. You should check it out! Yeah so basically you just run around a snowy biome, figuring out how to climb ropes, freezing to death but only if you stay still, jumping 30 feet forward, beating up wolves and birds, and........


Ring King. Something to do with rings? Yes! Boxing rings! Thankfully I didn't have to play this since it had an all CPU mode! So I just sat back and watched and... well I don't know if this was my mind getting dirty but I am pretty sure there was some dick sucking. I'll just leave it there. And... eh... it's a mediocre boxing game at best. Again... 3D angles which works... not on the NES.


Nigel Mansell's World Championship Challenge was another racing game. But in first person this time. Zooming fast at over 200 kilometers an hour and some how I stayed in last place. Clearly everyone was faster than me. I guess I'll have to set my car racing dreams aside for now.


The Magic of Scheherazade was the 2nd to last game. And oh boy that text was slow as balls. But that may have been because I hit the slow option at the start of the game. I don't know I was just trying to get through these games as quickly as possible. And... it's another RPG game. Mixed with a little Zelda too since you don't go into battle sequences. You just jab enemies with your sword. Thankfully the slow text was a blessing in disguise since I didn't have to play much of the game.


And lastly, Zanac. And... well it's any other typical arcade shooter game. With a not sickening background that goes down at top speeds. Either the people who made that game were robots or just had really damn good eyes. As for me... I definitely puked a couple times after playing that game.
