Hey guys. As some of you know, my good friend Mike aka EightBitWarrior is doing another Retro Revival Week starting this Sunday where we play the old classic games that some of us grew up with and loved. Mike did a blog showing some of the games he is planning to play throughout the week and basically this blog is going to do the same thing but with a little description below each game. Without further ado, here are the games:
Conker's Bad Fur Day (Nintendo 64)
Its been a while since I played through this game and I am going to be playing through it again for RRW. Why? Well it is my favourite N64 game after all and it never gets old. The single-player is very enjoyable and some parts are just funny and great to play (The Great Mighty Poo sequence FTW). This is one of the N64's swansong games but its best to go out with a bang than a whimper and this along with other games did just that.
Megaman Anniversary Collection (GameCube)
I am currently playing through Megaman 8 at the moment on this compilation of the first 8 Megaman games and I am enjoying it. I am planning to beat a majority of the MM games during RRW but things could get ugly when frustration kicks in during some sequences. Don't worry Mike, Megaman 2 will be one of them. :P
Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Mega Drive)
I had to put these games together due to the fact is that the combination of both games make up my favourite Sonic game. Its great playing through all the zones in both games in one continuous playthrough. Also, Hyper Sonic, Hyper Knuckles and Super Tails cannot be achieved without this combination. With great music (Ice Cap) and great levels (Sky Sanctuary), I will be enjoying my time with this collection once again.
Super Mario All Stars (Super Nintendo)
Not really so much all the games in this collection but Super Mario Bros 3, which of course is my favourite Mario game. Just the sheer thrill of going to each new world and the theme it has whether its ice, water or giant. Many people consider this to be the best platformer of all time and I can't disagree with that statement since it has near-perfect platforming gameplay and has great power-ups like Kuribo's shoe to boot (get it? :P). I will plan to play the game that started off the whole Nintendo saga in certain ways, Super Mario Bros. If it wasn't for that game, who knows where the gaming industry would be today.
Those are the games I definitely tend to play during RRW at the moment but I am sure I will be playing a few others as well that I will let you guys know about during the week. Anyway I am off to play some games.
Toodles.
