The garbage bin.

I return to yet another round of the piece of shit I created called the NES-A-Thon. Hey, at least after this stream, I only have less than 100 games left to play! HUZZAH!
Starting this session with Ski or Die. Not Skate or Die. But Ski or Die. Funny given all the modes in this game don't involve skis. At least it all involves now though. Starting with Snowball Blast which is essentially snowball fighting. Launch your snowball missiles at your opponents and gain a high score! And I guess try to knock down all the kids in the time you're given. I did not do that. Next up was Snowboard Halfpipe. This one was confusing. I mean yeah I was moving forward but I didn't know if I could jump off the top edges of the half pipe or not. Especially since every time I tried, I just landed on my head. Innertube Thrash was not confusing. But it was another skiless game. This one involved you racing against an opponent on an inflatable tube. I didn't get to finish that once since the time ran out for my play time on that game.
Next game was Wario's Woods. Yeah I still got PTSD on this game. Though I suppose the early levels weren't that bad. They were pretty easy. It was really until the 9th round where I began to struggle as more creatures were on screen and the fruits were starting to get all over the place. Thankfully by then my time for that game was up. Adventures of Tom Sawyer was next. Who the hell is Tom Sawyer? I guess some farmer dude who jumps over barrels and takes on massive pirate babies. What? You have an attack but I swear these babies are so good at avoiding them. Yeah I never made it past the first level here. The game seems simple. But play it for yourself and I hope you see how bullshit it can be. Next, WWF Wrestlemania. I think AVGN checked this one out in his wrestling games episode. Badder it calls itself. And yeah it was definitely that. I just spent time mashing A and B and getting... poor ass piss results. I couldn't tell if I was tackling my opponents or not. Most of the time I held my breath and hoped to all hell. The in game timer wasn't going. What was this game unfinished? Apparently so.
Jordan vs Bird - One On One was next. At first I didn't know if this was a power pad game because I couldn't seem to do anything. But then I did the 3 point contest. Which is basically Wii Sports Resort 3 point contest. No that's exactly what it is. I had to watch the fucking CPU take their sweet ass time before I could have a go. And when I did have my go, I uh... well I got 5 points before I timed out essentially. And when I restarted, I had to watch the fucking CPU again. Good grief. So by the time I got my 2nd go, my time overall for the game itself ran out before I could finish my 2nd go. Yes I could've finished it if I wanted to. But I'm being a good boy and following my own rules. Greg Norman's Golf Power was next. Probably the only good game in the whole list for this session. And yeah... it's a Golf game. A little confusing at first but easy to understand once I got the hang of it. I guess ideally after I set my power, I want to stop it around the C area of the shot or else I go fucking nowhere. Remember how I said I was not breaking my own rules? Well I did here so I could finish a hole. It was bad and I was 4 over par on that hole. But for a Golf game, it's not too bad. And hey... killer soundtrack if I say so myself!
Flying Warriors was next up. This one had a damn cool title screen theme! The game itself? Me training for kung-fu apparently. And I was bad at it. And I didn't get to see any flying at all in this game. I assume there is but I didn't see any so I can't confirm if there is flying in this game. Tecmo Super Bowl was next! Here's a damn good game! Though I had to select preseason because I didn't know how to actually play otherwise. I played as the Lions (naturally) going against the Chiefs! I started... alright. Forced the Chiefs to a first drive punt then I began driving... of course I fumbled the ball not too long later and then I gave up a touchdown. So I guess I lost 7-0. Even the NES loves kissing the Chiefs ass I guess. Street Fighter 2010 - The Final Fight was next. Was this game affiliated with the Street Fighter we know? I don't know. I'm this dude in armor that can shoot some sort of short beam from my hands. Of course it doesn't go far so when the dragon dude comes to rip my head off, it feels like I am not attacking it. And I just end up dying. A lot. I guess it didn't matter. That was the final fight anyways.
The final game of the night was Shingen the Ruler. And holy... fuck... I could not ask for a more confusing ass shitty game. It's another war battle simulator. But there's buttons like Mi, Al, Su, Ps, like... I have no idea what they do. And when I did find out, it was still confusing. It's like I was running naked in the middle of the damn streets! I somehow found my army in a battle sequence. And I guess I was a fool afterwards? I don't know how I can possibly describe this game. Then again, I wasn't born in the fucking 1500s. So maybe if I was, that may have helped in the long run here.
