And a blowout it was!
Street Fighter III The 3rd Strike: Fight for The Future
The morning started off with Street Fighter III The 3rd Strike: Fight for The Futue. It's one of my favorite fighting games but also the hardest one for me. I played as Chun-Li, Ken and Ry, beating the game before taking a rest.
Did you know?
-"The Dreamcast received a stand-alone release of 3rd Strike. The Xbox and PlayStation 2 also received ports of 3rd Strike, as part of the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection (apart from PAL regions for the PS2). Street Fighter III: Third Strike was also released in a stand alone format within Japan. Also sold in Japan was a Limited Edition PS2 port which included a bonus DVD of "master" player bouts, a game guide, and a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle." -Wiki

Pinball Games: Black Hole, Aces high, Central Park, Big Shot
The Pinball Hall Of Fame game for the PS2 was an odd one to put in retro revival but I put it in because it's based on old Pinball tables from the 50's to the 90's, and playing games Like Aces high and Big shot don't get any more retro! :P
Black Hole
Black Hole is a 1981 pinball table that I've actually seen in person. Black Hole was the first machine to feature a lower playfield viewed through a window in the upper playfield. "It was touted as the highest-grossing pinball game of all time shortly after its release, partly due to (or despite) the fact that it was the first pinball game which cost 50 cents to play." (wiki) It's a pretty neat table just because of the original design of it. I played a few rounds of this.
Aces High
A 1957 table (told ya this is true retro goodness xD) is one of the harder tables due to the small flippers and fast action for it;'s time. The goal of the table is two fold. Earn points as usually, but earning replays as well. A skilled played on this table can earn tons of replays. Back when it was released, it got so bad, that some places had to ban replays. it's one of my favorite Pinball tables in the collection. as well. I played this for a solid hour.
Big Shot
This 1973 pinball machine. is also one of my fav machines due to the design. it's a simple table to understand, but hard to master. It's also very addicting due to the table's easy to read layout. You must light the targets by hitting the drop targets and getting the ball in the number 8 hole. It's addicting for me. Played this over and hour as well.
Central Park
This table is notable fort he Monkey that rings the bell on the backboard ever 100 points. It's got a wider drop zone area and small flippers as well. it's not easy to get points in this game at all. It takes practice...and luck. Played this a few rounds.

Now out of all the stuff I played this week i forgot about one system. The N64. For the rest of the day, My n64 got some much needed attention :P
WWF No Mercy
One of my all time fav wrestling games. I played three matches.
The Rock Vs. Chris Benoit
Getting back into the swing of things happened quickly. it was a TKO match (my fav match type), and I missed the People's Elbow But I came back and nailed him with the Rock Bottom. Benoit was out cold.
Stone Cold Vs. Edge
Double Stunner (two stunners in a row) for the V.
Tazz Vs. Eddie Guerrero
Hardcore match. Tazz is actually one of my fav characters in the game due to his list of moves. he can really put the beating on an opponent quickly. I Locked int eh tazzmisison early, putting damage to his neck. Later, he came off the ropes and I got Eddie in a tazplex. Went to the outside, got a steel chair, Smack. Eddie busted wide open, and out cold.
WCW vs. NWO World Tour (n64)
i had a few exhibitions before going into an ultimate task. WCW vs. NWO or rather....Ultimo dragon Vs. NWO!
Here's how it went down.
Ultimo Dragon vs. Buff Bagwell
A pretty standard match for me, He tried to come back a couple times but I pretty much ran over him. I did a moonsault on him from the top rope and then went for a Liger bomb. 1,2,3.
Victory by: Liger Bomb
Ultimo Dragon VS. Scott Norton
This was actually a toughy. Norton did a few power moves on me. I Won by htiting him with a corkscrew flip, but the match turned in my favor before that by hitting a liger bomb on Norton, on the outside.
Victory by: Corkscrew Flip
Ultimo Dragon Vs. Scott Hall
Scott Evaded me but he could never gain any momentum against me. i was starting to show signs of wear on my character, so i ended it quickly by hitting a running Liger bomb.
Victory By: Running Liger Bomb
Ultimo Dragon vs. Kevin Nash
Kevin can be plan nasty as an opponent just because he seems to get that edge in when needed. it was one of the longer matches out of the 5 and I almost blew it twice in the match. Almost got hit with his finisher. I went for a moonsault (with a semi twist) for the win.
Victory by Moonsault
Ultimo Dragon vs. Hollywood Hogan
The last match. And My character had a badly damaged neck. Against hogan of all sorts. I went for broke and pulled no punches the only way i was gonna win is by ending it the quickest i could. I went for ddts, Arm drags. piledrivers, quick moves, etc.. Doing everything to keep Hogan down, stopping his momentum and work on his neck. I went for the dragon sleeper and hogan tapped out. I had beaten the NWO with My fav wrestler, Ultimo Dragon. Sweet, Sweet victory.
Victory by Dragon Sleeper Submission
I found this and i gotta show this xD
Only man to ever have that many belts at the same time.

Blast Corps
Today was actually my first time playing this n64 game. I played about ten levels. i like it and will prolly continue with it.
----
Forsaken 64
This game always makes me dizzy when I play it. Anyone else get this way? I had to stop after one level.
----
Mario Golf (N64)
I played an 18 hole course for kicks. I prefer the GCN Mario Golf for some reason. it's hard for me to go back to this title now.
----
Dr. Mario 64
I capped off retro revival with this game. I played this for about 2 hours. Played some of story too. One of the best n64 puzzler games.
This was my most best retro revival ever! xD
Around 56 titles were played by me in the last 9 days... holy cow!
