Oh boy more NES-A-Thon! I am still not gone crazy yet! Even though I probably should long be by now. Just gotta keep chugging through right? The end will only come quicker if I do these streams quicker.


First game of the night is M.U.L.E. I gotta admit, it has a bopping title theme... and that's about it. You select a dude you want to play as and then after that you are asking what the fuck you are doing. Apparently it's a uh... civilization simulator. You need to pick your plot but you can't pick it... in like a traditional sense. Instead automatically it goes one by one left to right starting from the top goes through each plot and you have to stop it when it lands on the space you want. If that makes sense. My explanations probably never do. After that, you have different areas you can go to. A pub, M.U.L.E. Corral, Farm Outfitting, Energy Outfitting, and Mining Outfitting. You only have so much time to go to each area to spend your time and money wisely as you pick up a mule and resources... and then... uh... it's an auctioning game? You have to apparently buy or sell properties and possessions and... yeah I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. I was just running in the streets butt naked until my time ran out for the game. At least The Flintstones - The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak was easier to understand. I mean it's a basic platformer. You take your bat and use it to squash enemies who approach you. And make sure you jump off the slopes at the right time... those things send you flying. Overall it's not too bad. Despite how hard I made it look. Little advice... don't try to attack the meatballs... everything will go horribly wrong. And don't try to attack the giant dragon heads. Trust me no matter how hard you try, it won't work. It took me a minute to realize you could actually stand on them. Well now I know. So now me and Barney are in this cave seemingly looking to save some children here when uh-oh! A massive volcano erupts and the stream of lava is right in between the groups! Oh well I guess the children are stuck there now moving on! Totally Rad is the next game... yeah I'll believe it when I see it. You control this 80s kid named Jake and you are given Mega Man blaster powers to take down enemies. Not too bad difficulty wise... well until fucking Dr. Eggman steamrolls you out of nowhere and you fucking die. But once you get past that, then it's time for... the worlds easiest boss... some... humanoid bug looking thing who chucks barrels at you at such a high angle so that they never fucking hit you... I don't know I think Mr. Bug needs glasses. Oh and point of advice... don't go for the balloon in the circus. It'll only lead to disaster.


Next up is The Legend of Kage. Oh boy another fucking RPG ain't it? Nope... it's actually a uh... Little Tikes Ninja Gaiden. No seriously the graphics are horrendous, the music sounds like it was composed in 2 days, it's 1 hit death, and you have no clue what you're doing or where you're going. I found if you spam your infinite ninja stars, you will for the most part be good. Oh and make sure when you're grabbing the power orb that some uh... bulk of hair in a robe doesn't attack you seriously what the fuck? When you do successfully grab it, you get a wardrobe change and become stronger. But once again this becomes a where the fuck do I go game? I mean yeah granted I only played this game for 5 minutes. My gut says I probably needed to keep taking down ninjas. But I didn't have time for that. I had time for Double Dare! The game about doing challenges and answering questions. Should be fun! How does cantaloupe bowling sound? More like... CAN'Taloupe because I couldn't get any damn pins down so the opposing kids got first grab of the questions. If there was a question they couldn't answer, they'd dare me to answer it for double the money. And then I could double dare which probably means send it back to the opposing kids for double again... I assume. I never selected double dare. I just took my stabs at the questions. They were all... ALL... bad stabs. You'd think I'd get lucky once right? HAH... lol yeah no. Just give me a gun and let me run around in Die Hard. MERRY CHRISTMAS! I don't know what my objective was. Just murder everyone who tries to get in my way and pick up the loot. Of course it felt like there was little to no enemies so I was just running around like a crazy maniac. I did eventually realize there was a staircase I could go up and down on. I tried the 31st floor. The floor had a very... hacker command line color scheme going on. There wasn't much and most of the doors in this corridor were locked. But I did see a Christmas tree! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Floor 34 had a few more enemies to shoot down. My aim? Uh... attempted... but it wasn't enough. I die, bad guys get money, oh well too bad so sad-YIPPIE-KI-YAY MOTHERFUCKER!... sorry... just had to. XD!


Snake Rattle n Roll is next. You are... definitely a snake... well... the head of one at least. You traverse the checkerboard green grass, avoid getting swallowed by the snake, and eat orbs. Colored orbs. Don't ask me what they taste like. At the end of the level there is one of those carnival game thingies. You know where you swing the hammer to hit the bell? Yeah that. I couldn't ring it for the life of me to open the exit door. After seeing Mr. Snake die a few times, I realized those tasty orbs contribute to your weight... of course it makes sense. So I grow long and big and finally I can ring the bell and finish the level. Say speaking of orbs, you wanna see more in Pin Bot? That was the next game. To nobody's surprise, it's a pinball game. I do admit it is quite nicely detailed! I admit I didn't play great my first time. And if I played in a real arcade, I would probably be laughed at. Now on my 2nd go, I did considerably better. It almost seemed like I wasn't ever going to let my ball drop. The only nag I have about this game is the un-understandable voice lines. I mean it's a robot but it sounds like its damn batteries are dying. The game rewarded me for staying alive for so long by changing the color scheme. I'd describe it as... the outer edge of a lit up city at night. With a uh... weird... ghost... UFO... thing? I don't fucking know. Anyways, as if almost on perfect que my time runs out as my ball finally drops. My score is racked up with a total of over 1.1 million points. That's a high score I can get behind! Next up, Michael Andretti's World Cup. Also known as, ear killer. If you like the sound of constant buzzing as you drive the track in your ears, this is the game for you! If you don't want your ears to be murdered, then check out Bandai Golf - Challenge Pebble Beach! But if you have no idea how weak or strong each club is... well then you're not in for a good time. Like me! Who says you can't blast a ball into the trees? And you know what? Screw what other people say. I think 10 over par is a damn good score!


Besides, all I'd need is a few holes in ones and I can still be the Golf champion!
