| YOU GOT ROM!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hello children! For my latest endeavor into trying to beat some sort of content for the Haven out of the computer, I decided to take things farther than I normally do with NES ROMs! I picked 10 random NES ROMs, some of which you may have never heard of, to play for a short time and write about them to your amusement. It's a change of pace, isn't it? So let's get started! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ALFRED CHICKEN: Yeah, a game where you play as a chicken...named Alfred! How can it NOT be good? Actually, it is a pretty good game. I like it. How many other side-scrolling games let you play as a chicken, named Alfred, who roams around hunting for diamonds and other stuff while avoiding dangers such as windup mice? None, my friend, none. This is a pretty fun ROM, though I only made it to level 2. Level spelled backwards is level!
Rating: 4 out of 5 |

| SECTION Z: Next up is a game that we used to have for our NES before my brother took off with it when he went to college. What happened to that damn thing? Damn you, Brandon! This game is a side-scrolling shooter, ala Gladius and R Type, only you don't play as a ship, you play as a cyborg...I think. Brandon never kept the damn instruction booklet, so I'm stuck with trying to figure out the ROM on my own! Umm, well, there's a psuedo-cutscene in the beginning that shows this planet like thing shooting stuff out, then the cyborg appears onscreen and flashes off at the speed of light to the planet thing. You only get to play in outer space for 5 seconds before descending into the planet thing and navigate tunnels, or something like that. And unlike other shooters, you can shoot in front of AND behind you, and can take more than one hit! Though I'm not sure about powerups...

| BONK'S ADVENTURE: Hey, you can play as a cave baby! And when he eats super spicy meat, he transforms into an EVIL cave baby, just as shown in the screenshot! I dunno who the lizard guys are, but they suck, that axe turns into a sword when they hit you with it. I really suck at videogames. Oh well. You attack by headbutting people. Which explains why his head is so freaking huge. I guess this is a nifty sidescroller.

| THE ADDAM'S FAMILY: FESTER'S QUEST: Da-da-da-da! *snap snap* I love the Addam's Family. However, I do NOT like this game. What's going on? Why is the neighborhood fucked up? Is it Fester's job to save the neighborhood and rescue his beloved family? Why can't I use these lightbulbs in the dark sewers which must be important, yet are impossible to navigate? What are those purple plant things? I WANT TO BUY A FUCKING HOTDOG!! Bah...Sorry Fester, you're one of my favorite characters, but your game sucks...
Rating: 0.5 out of 5...You may have gotten higher if it weren't for that damn blue frog thing that follows me and the horrible boomerang launching gun that misses 70% of the time... |

| STREET FIGHTER 2010: THE FINAL FIGHT: Is this the prequel to Street Fighter? I'm not sure. You play as a guy named Ken, the guy in silver armor, and I guess you go from planet to planet fighting monsters or something. See the floating orange-ish demonic looking thing? I was supposed to be fighting him, but those missile things kept coming from out of nowhere. This game would be more fun if it wasn't so fucking hard, because I REALLY like the graphics and Ken actually has a decent repertoire of moves on him, and he moves pretty fluid for an NES game, but the damn difficulty sucks!
Rating: 3.78 out of 5...would be higher if it weren't for the difficulty level! |
