Sub Boss (My Son) Has a fever and I need to tend to his needs. But !! Fret not heres two videos to hold you over till our next game review.<br>
<br>
I recently talked about my experiences Game Hunting in Florida on Vacation and we looked at the spoils, well heres a big box O' Fun to add to the Sega Genesis console I picked up. I got some great titles at a really AMAZING price. Lets take a look so sit back and shoot his over to your Apple TVs or Youtube ready sets….<br>

Just goes to show you that great deals can still be found on eBay. Those sonic games alone are worth the price. Below is a lil unboxing and retrospective on a game that changed how games were made it truly raised the bar and threw down the gauntlet to the other game developers of the time…<br>

For those unfamiliar with my "Big Box O' Pirated Booty" or BBOPB for short heres the skinny… Last year I got the box featured below from the Island of pirate games aka Thailand and in it were eight Famicom games seven of which were bootlegs and seven are also Shoot em ups or SHMUPS as they are commonly called.<br>

Known in Japanese arcades as Battle Wings the game was released in 1984 by Data East, the game had no back story but set the player off in a space fighter against all odds to destroy a entire army. The game stood out due to its unique play style. The game had two buttons one the standard firing action but the other dropped the player to the ground level so he or she could avoid the aerial enemies and take on some ground based targets but only for a brief time period. This diving action also jettisoned the crafts wings and the player could then replace them upon return to the normal play field by grabbing one of eight different kinds as a power up. The eight power up wings each had a specific style of firing pattern and ammo. In 1986 B-Wings was ported to the Nintendo Famicom and would be the first of many Data East titles on the Nintendo home console. Data East had a rich line of games such as Burger Time, Heavy Barrel, Karnov, Vigilante & Bad Dudes.<br>
<br>
Having never heard of B-Wings and looking at my beat up bootleg copy I had low expectations for this game…..<br>

The Famicom version eliminates the ground assault portion of the game but keeps the diving action intact as it acted as a means to ditch your wings in the arcade so one might equip new power-up wings. Why programer didn't just have the B button drop your wings and not dive at all I don't understand especially as its so brief of an descent that no dangers can be avoided unlike the Loop de Loop in <a href="http://finalbossreview.blogspot.com/2013/11/capcoms-1942-alive-in-2013.html" target="_blank">Capcom's 1941(Read Here)</a>. Hell why you just can't fly into the new wings you desire like any power up in a game is unknown to me as well.<br>
<br>
The games intro screen is pretty plain but offers a nice musical piece as does the rest of the game. Starting off you are asked to chose one of TEN types of Wings Yes ! Not eight BUT ten, the game replaced a ground based wing with 3 other new ones and some hidden power ups throughout the game as I understand it.<br>
<br>
<b><u>The WINGS</u></b><br>
Cannon- fires 2 bricks and a heart… strong but werid.<br>
Wide- shoots a spread gun type pattern that is so so on distance<br>
Multi-Rotaing turret allows 7 directional firing, cannot fire backwards...<br>
Anti-guess what now you CAN shoot backwards<br>
Van-like Wide but has less distance<br>
Side-Ship will now fire horizontally….Sucks!<br>
Hammer- 2 black spheres attach to your pink shaft of a ship making it look like ..well… yeah….<br>
Jump-Exploding ammo, oooohhhhhh.<br>
Dyna-fires shield like crescent beam, downside is the short distance but not bad.<br>
Fire- Much like laser in Contra it stinks!<br>

After pressing start and selecting you Wing Style you shoot off down a runway or at least it looks that way to me? Launching my fighter into the first area I'm impressed with graphics of the first structures I come upon and destroy the following set of enemies is so so looking but the game seems to scroll smoothly with many enemies and targets on screen at once. Speaking of scrolling this appears to be one of these game that allows you to pull left to right and scroll infinitely horizontally as the game scrolls you ever vertically towards our goal. The first enemies looked like large green A-Bombs and now the third set of targets unimpressively resembles the throwing weapons of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Ninja_Team_Gatchaman" target="_blank">Science Ninja Team Gatchaman or aka G-Force</a>. After another area of amazing looking structures I find yet more crappy looking ships, these look like a green smiley face with stubby legs…..yeah all crazy otto like. Just as I start to wonder if theres going to be any decent looking ships a alarm rings out and a volley of 80s style Nuclear warheads rain down on my ship which happens to look like a raging boner since you know I i just had to chose Hammer Wing at the start of the level. The Missiles continue their assault as the STage 1 End Boss moves its massive self on screen. The Boss is a pretty elaborate and kool looking ship with many weak spots you must target to destroy it.<br>

The second stage continues the visually lacking enemy ship theme while the structures like the bosses are much more creative and almost seem to belong in a different game. The game repeats this format although it doesn't mind throwing a curve ball adding in the occasional really outta place Boss like a Spider that seems it was designed for the Colecovision Smurf game or a Bipedal humanoid frog that creeps me the FU*K OUT !! Some stage are home to attacking fighters that graphically flash and twitch so bad I think I'm playing the Atari 2600… No exaggeration here…none! The game has so many of these weird quirks I can't even mention them all like how when you die you continue to control an explosion that can fire at the enemy for a surprising extended amount of time or when you start the next level the Wing/Weapon select screen is there but you can NOT select any Weapon until every fifth stage even if your starting a new life???. I didn't finish this game nor am I sure I wanted to… <b>THATS A LIE !! </b>I wanna finish every game out of curiosity but I didn't have the time or patience. The game does require time as I discovered it has 30 of the 45 stages from the Arcade intact…ouch!<br>
I watched a Youtube Video of a Long play and the game seems to take an Hour on average I even watched a video where an individual used and Emulator with a Invincibility cheat which in interesting as the game offers endless continues as far as I could tell in my journey thru personaly playing the first 10 stages. I did see in the Videos that it offers no real ending just a lil scene where the B-Wing flies past several of the final bosses.<br>

I honesty can't say how I feel about this game... Its inventive and unique in its genre but I found a lot of weird flaws in it…. but I may be over critical and lacking patience right now as Ive been potty training my son this weekend its like living with a mini Sid Vicious what with all the peeing on the floor and incoherent yelling. Having given all my patience to him I suggest downloading a copy or watching a YouTube Long Play to make your own opinion before buying. Just 4 games left in the Big Box O' Pirated Booty !!<br>

ClanI'm sitting here last night Among all these games and I realize I had not come up with an article for this weekend it was already Saturday….. It was upon me…. it was too late!!! I stared blankly through my game section just telling myself that I only needed to review a game, it didn't have to be something I could beat I would just find a game game that I thought you all would find interesting. Find one that I thought I could deliver enough information on for it to be entertaining and informative and that would be okay. I wouldn't pull the easy route and do some Football Game in "honor" of the Super Bowl since Honestly I don't care about Football or the Video games. I had played Madden on Genesis wit my lil bro way back when and I would just press C for shotgun play.<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
My eyes moved towards my GameBoy collection... the middle stack top game…. Konami's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : The fall of the Foot Clan. This is a game that I played quite a few times as child but I never owned a copy. I would borrow a friends while we hung out and throw it into my Game Boy and give it a try or in Junior High kids would pass around a GameBoy at lunch and play whatever they had. I always looked forward to playing this game and I finally bought a copy at VGNY last year but never sat down for a proper play. I told myself that I could just review the game and talk about how amazing or not amazing it is, talk about the controls and the graphics even, or about the developers and any highlights they made have had in their careers…... But standing there my game section staring at my Leonardo statue surrounded by original Kevin Eastman art and TMNT books of all kinds how can I call myself a true turtlehead and be the kid who claims that he read the comic book before the cartoon came out or the guy with the green Ooze pumping through his veins…. How can I call myself a Shell-Head if I NEVER BEAT THIS GAME !!!<br>

Forget the Super Bowl the only Bowl in this House is the one <i>"holding four baby Turtles……"</i></div>

I quickly pulled the recently acquired Super Nintendo off the shelf and grabbed the freshly cleaned Super Game Boy cart and set up in front of the Samsung LCD. Usually I don't play these games on the big screen but this one looked great.<br>

As soon as the Konami logo dropped off screen the Stage was set April had been kiddnaped (again) and the Turtles boys were out to save her. The short intro used a classic shot from the shows intro and it looked great in pixels. After the plot was delivered the select screen allows you to pick one of the fab four, Leo was on top so I started there. The first thing I noticed was the original TV show's theme song popping in the background, a lot of time these attempts to adapt a known song to a 8-bit game went wrong but this was and is actually really good !! The character animations also are really quite good in this game and the Turtles each have a lil extra weapon animation as they walk. The first stage displays excellent textures as we walk along a seedy area in my hometown of New York City. Foot Soldiers and "Tubular Transports" attack in unison as we move forward (I'm not kidding that what they are called look it up). The game has surprisingly good hit detection in the players favor, I find it easy to strike one side and quickly turn and destroy my next target even when it seem there will not be enough time to do so. Some familar things from the Arcade game appear like destroyable parking meters and barrels. The game has many hidden areas that lead to a life replenishing Bonus Game, the first one is located in the space that second barrel occupies, smash it and walk where the barrel once was. The Bonus Game is random and is one of three possible games - A number guessing game with Master Splinter, a fun leave Krang with the last Shuriken game or a kool lil random Target shooting game. Win a Bonus game and get your life replenished. Reaching the end of the stage sends Leo in to the next area , a quite familiar one at that the Sewers !<br>

1-2 Sewers<br>
This area brings a new enemy to battle the "Mousers" many will remember them from the comics and the cartoons. Oh !! And Konami got it right this time even though you have the ability to jump the gaps in the sewers if you land in the water you DONT DIE !!! Hell you don't even take damage un like the NES game. Thank You Konami for finally realizing that the Turtles can SWIM !!!! Any way you will however have to jump to survive these ginny boulder that roll on screen called "Shell Shockers" again not making this up. before exiting area 1-2 go below the pipes and touch the dead end wall to find another bound area if you miss it don't worry theres everyones favorite Pizza available before the jump to 1-3.<br>

1-3 Streets<br>
Be Careful as the Foot come flying on the screen in their "Brawling Biker Trikes" using the high jump is the best way to avoid them and I like to wait till the last minute to jump and redirect my self to safety. The bikers are another example of how the hit detection and controls really work in your favor as I look at the enemy I think I'm gonna be hit but I always manage to avoid damage. Avoid some Foot and Tubular attacks grab the slice at the end and on to 1-4<br>
<br>
1-4 Back to the Sewer<br>
I want to mention that not only will the backgrounds change after this stage but the Stages 2,3,4,5 only have 2 areas each this is the only Stage with 4 areas… but each does have a Boss !! We haven't lost a turtle yet and we shouldn't on this board as there are <b>four</b> pizza slices spend through out the area and another hidden bound area. Fighting the usually fair of Footies and watching above for falling ceiling tiles drop in the drink at first chance and move forward under the pipes until you find the hidden Bouns game. Grab the last slice if you need the health and get ready for the First Boss Fight!!!!!!<br>

Rocksteady<br>
Rocksteady is a Buffoon ! But a Buffoon with a M-60 sooo… Using my Mutant reflexes and Master Splinters Ninja training I slice the bullets outta the air and quickly attack with either my Swords or a timed Jump Kick don't bother with your throwing stars… What? Oh I didn't mention the throwing stars before? …. Oh sorry, yeaaah they are only slightly useful in the game for the weakest enemies or to stun others. Once Rocksteady takes the dirt nap Im treated to another great graphic of Donatello sating the Enemies and April are near…..hmmm I don't think so, not just yet buddy. And he's the smart one Jeeezzz…..<br>

2-1 Tunnels<br>
Tunnels not Sewers get that straight okay… any way Stage 2 brings about the first of the shorter stages and more new traps. Watch out for the moving pillars the rising ones are okay and won't crush you but the ceiling based ones coming down will flatten you like turtles on the highway. Hopping on top of the second accenting pillar and touching the ceiling leads to a Bonus area. If you get the ridiculous Number Game thing and fail don't worry two slices a pizza await ahead as you jump, jump, jump for your life past more rolling Shell Shockers. Stage 2-2 continues through Tunnels but adds yet another new enhance encounter for death the Fire Balls with sunglasses…. Okay sooo crawling slowly through this area Leo and I manage to make it by waiting for the Fire Balls to appear and then slicing them before jumping to the next pillar to safety don't land in the liquid below as this is not a Sewer so that is not water but some toxic slime ewwww… If you can swat at the fling Pizza Box to get a full recharge and then set off to face Bebop.<br>

This Hot Headed Hog will charge you on sight so jump over him and attack from behind. A couple times he got smart and fired a beam at me but just like before they can be seated away like flies. I kept up the beating till he fell off screen.<br>

3-1 Convoy surfing<br>
After watching a neat little cut scene we find out the bastards have head off in escape vehicles. Select your turtle of choice (mine still being Leonardo) and take a ride on the highway but not in a car on top of moving tractor trailers… sooo don't miss the jumps or …..squish! Mastering the jump kick saved my shell on this one as the Foot Ninja love to tag team yah on the open road. When you see the brick tossing Foot fellas destroy the brick then attack them. Moving carefully I quickly learned never to defend from a trucks roof or hood the trailers and flatbeds are the best bet. Grabbing some pizza I'm off to 3-2 …. Wait there no 3-2 ? Its straight to the Boss Battle !!<br>

Ol Bug Breath is here to try and ruin or picnic. He fires Bullets in two directions and then swoops in for a attack either swat the bullets and hit and run or wait for his swoop then counter with a Ninja Jump Kick ! I love that after each Boss is defeated you regain your health to full.</div>

4-1 Down River<br>
Its time to float down river and find the Chrome Dome and Techno-Drome. The stage provides some logs to float on kinda like frogger and if you make use of them you can avoid the mechanical monsters posting as fish below…. for a bit any way. Watch out for the falling "Nitro Burning Doughnuts" you can hit them as they fall but once they start rolling on the ground they pose too small a target to hit even while crouching with those throwing stars we all love. Underwater and at the half way point…hey were breathing under water !!! Yeah for Konami !! Like I was saying underwater and halfway through the stage you'll find not only pizza but those pesky shell shockers roll just fine under her so be sure to jump when yah see em. Jumping out of the water also makes any approaching onscreen mechanical fish disappear as a neat glitch. When area 4-2 kicks off immediately turn to the left and jump high in to the top left corner of the screen to be wished to another Bonus Round hopefully the target or Krang game as they are easy. What this swamp (?) area lacks in detail it makes up for in abundance of enimies it wasn't easy being green and keep in mind there are only two pizza slices here. I put my reflexes and faith in the controls to the test as I repeatedly slashed Foot Ninja and these weird attacking sparks all the while jumping to dodge a stampede of Shell Shocker Boulders and the appearance of Mousers that now pop out of the ground to attack you….I applaud you Konami programers…. well played. I almost certainly jump kicked more here than the rest of the game.<br>

The Shredder !!<br>
Shred Head Finally makes his debut and is not as simple as his underlings. This Master Ninja has learned a disappearing Jutsu which he executes after he swipes at you with his Katana. I leaped at him taking the offense and would quickly back away jumping in retreat then return only after he would do his disappearing trick. Not the hardest Boss fight ever but strategy is needed.<br>

5-1 Techno-Drome<br>
Once again kick off the final level by jumping in to the upper left for Bonus Game. Starting off this final Stage I was so excited to be this close to winning and doing so well. Energy beams similar to the ones found in the Arcade game make an appreance but their not alone as mousers return again to burrow from under your two toed feet and they too are not alone in-fact no ones alone as almost all the previous enemies are here to attack you and….. those "Road Kill Rodneys" from the Arcade game too you know the ones that ride on a single tire and shock you to death with a metallic tendril. Savior the one slice o' pizza you get here as its the only one…. and at the end of the damn area…..<br>
Moving on to 5-2 and nearing completion I really started to get nerviousnow for the first time, not only was I about to finally Finish this and Make it a proud War Journal entry but I was going undefeated with all four Terrapin Teens still in my bank !!!!! Go Green Machine !!! Yet again I jump up to the left and discover another Bonus Area, man they are getting complacent with the location at this point eh? A final new vehicle for my destruction shows its ugly face although it has no face and is quite literally a vehicle, is a tunneling looking machine that has rows of blades and spikes so I jump to avoid and don't even think of finding out if it can bleed. I find Pizza slices at the beginning and middle of this area and I need them the Rodneys have electrocuted poor Leo so much I'm about to use the Contra code to revive him just when an enemy falls and I find in place of a corpse a delicious New York Style Pizza. Mangaeing to hold on till the end of the stage I find a full sized pizza pie waiting to refill my heath once again before I move off screen to the right and face the Master of the Techno-Drome…..<br>

KRANG<br>
I find Krang much as you would in the Cartoon starting at the controls to the massive portal to his home world of Dimension X. His oversized mechanical replacement body is at full power and ready to make Shredder that turtle soup he was always threading to dine on. I take the offensive as I usually do and jump kick the big brute and quickly back away. Thank goodness for those Ninja reflexes again as when you attack him Krang immediately counters with a big boot. Several combinations of slash and run or kick and run and finally the Robot body slowly disapears as Krang is defeated and sent back through the portal. Another little cut scene show the turtles untying April O'Neil as she thanks them through text.<br>

<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I'm currently on vacation with the family visiting the Inlaws, and I figured since I didn't bring any retro games with me to review why not hunt for some ? Now don't worry I'm getting plenty of gaming in on the Gold 3DS XL with Zelda A Link Between Worlds. Now I could have just downloaded a classic title off the Nintendo eShop with its great selection of hits but that's too easy.</div>

<br></div>
<div>
I decided to go into unfamiliar territory and Retro Game Hunt in Sarasota Florida. Upon arrival in Florida I scoped out Craigslist and found some great deals.... and some not so great (people think eBay is a price guide). While looking again on the second day I kept coming across an Craigslist posting for what looked like a Retro Gaming shop called <b>Sparky's</b>. The shop seemed well stocked according to the posting but….. one can never be too sure and the location was only 7.5 miles away which in Florida is equal to down the block, well not really but it <b>is</b> close. I grabbed a set of expensive keys from the Inlaws and shot out on the unknown roads to hunt down some games !! </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Twenty minutes later and I was in the parking lot of the shopping center that is home to <i><b>Sparky's, Sarasota's Newest Retro Gaming Shop ! </b></i>I say Newest as it's only been open a couple of weeks. The shops owner Sergio greeted me as I walked in to the large retail space and mentioned that they were still getting the layout down and stock moved on to the floor but I saw plenty of things that grabbed my attention before the door closed behind me. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
First thing that drew me in was the large selection of Retro Consoles displayed openly on the back wall. I was excited to see so many consoles N64s, PSOnes, GameCubes, Dreamcast, Genesis and more. After eyeballing the consoles condition and pricing I knew I had found a legit<b> Retro Game Shop</b>.<br>

My attention moved to the closest display cases which were well stocked with many key NES titles like Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario, and both 8-bit Legend of Zelda classics all labeled with very fair prices. Next I scoped out the SNES carts to see what I might play on my most recently acquired console <i><b><a href="http://finalbossreview.blogspot.com/2014/01/game-hunting-ep-9-nintendo-new-year.html" target="_blank">(read here)</a></b></i> thats waiting for me back in New York. Sparky's had many tempting Super Nintendo titles but not the ones I was looking for and with good reason, apparently I had missed Super Castlevaina, Chrono Trigger and a bunch more <i>"must owns"</i> by only a day as another hunter had come in and bought up the most sought after carts. Damn you faceless competitor !!!!</div>

Once Sergio saw I was very interested in <b><u>all</u></b> the stock I introduced my self and we got talking all things retro when suddenly he disappeared into the back and returned with a Neo Geo AES System with a copy of Garou Densetsu 2 aka Fatal Fury 2. I resisted the urge to pull out the credit card and not try and stuff a Neo Geo console in my wife's carry on bag.<br>

In the next display I saw a few Game Boy Advance systems priced to own and generation one DS and 3DS handhelds. Game Boy and GBA games also had the very tempting prices I was getting comfortable seeing and I found myself again wanting to buy up half the stock. Games like Super Mario Land 1 & 2, Pokemon Yellow and Zelda DX are just a few of what was calling out my name. Gamecube, PS2, N64 & the Genesis titles were as well not helping narrow down my decision making.<br>

Sergio was even nice enough to pull out some more new stock outta the back and I ran my hands over more great NES classics from my childhood like Willow, Ultima and the all too familiar <a href="http://finalbossreview.blogspot.com/2013/11/shirtless-warriors-fueled-by-coke-and.html" target="_blank">Ikari Warriors (read here) </a> and even some more tempting <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengen_(company)" target="_blank">Tengen </a>Black carts like Guantlet and Pacman. I even saw another old favorite of mine on the Atari 2600 "Dark Caverns". More recent generation console games like Xbox, Wii and Xbox360 games lined the front cases but we all know my style. A very nice large selection of Retro reproduction controllers is also displayed along the wall.<br>

Surrounded by so many great items it was hard to make a final purchase but…...ultimately I was offered some deals I couldn't refuse. A complete Original Sega Genesis at the great price of 30 bucks and a SNES Super Game Boy and Mega Man 2 on Game Boy for 10 dollars made this drive well worth the gamble. I look forward to returning in the year and seeing how the shop has grown and hopefully ill score some of those <i>choice </i>SNES titles next time.<br>

In 1986 Ashura was released for the Sega Master System in Japan aka the Sega Mark III, the game had you and a optional friend take control of Ashura and Bishamon two Buddhist Monks that must take arms to set their fellow Buddhists free from a a military enemy of some sort that has kidnapped them… because why I don't know and why would monks take up machine guns and explosive composite bow ???? I mean in the 36 Chamber of Shaolin films Master San-Te just uses Shaolin Kung Fu to take on military forces, which we all know could beat even Super-Sayian-Mega-Zord-Vampire Hitler … But whatever its Sega's Party soo yeah thats the Original game but….</div>

Also in 1986 Sega aquirred the Rights to Rambo and wanted to capitalize on the success of the second Sly Stallone film Rambo First Blood Part II which had just been released in '85. Instead of building a whole new game from scratch Sega took their Popular Bloody Buddhist Game Ashura and repurposed it with <b>very minimal</b> changes. In no time at all we here in North America had Rambo First Blood Part II on the Sega Master System. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The title screen was changed to show off the Master Systems graphical power with an amazing color packed shot of Rambo taken from the Movie posters, it defiantly impressed me then and now.The games main character sprites were changed to look more like Rambo and in turn Bishamon was changed to a character the manual only describes as Rambo's partner Zane …Sure Zane you remember Zane from the movie…. No the Cartoon….no the chewing gum… Who cares it's CO-OP baby !!! And man will you need it, this game is HARD !! It may look similar to NES titles like Ikari Warriors or Commando but man this one is gonna take a lil practice for me. I had originally thought of doing a <a href="http://finalbossreview.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-finisher-war-journal.html" target="_blank">"Finisher War Journal Entry"</a> on this one but once I sat down to play it for the first time I realized I hadn't allotted enough time for the harsh Sega learning curve.</div>

You start off on a jungle level much like <a href="http://finalbossreview.blogspot.com/2013/11/shirtless-warriors-fueled-by-coke-and.html" target="_blank">SNKs Ikari Warriors</a> but while both games allow you to move in eight directions Rambo can only shoot in Five ? It took a few attempts till I got used to the whole pulling down to back up and shoot at the on comers trick. I started out trying to run and gun but that got me no where…. NO Literally NO Where !!! I got about "<b>one screen"</b> up the first handful of times I played this, I was overly embarrassed and frustrated. The Trick to Rambo is slow and steady taking out enemies that are the most immediately threatening while allowing the others to wander off screen. Some larger threats like tanks can but easily avoid by walking right past their line of fire. The speed at which you move is annoying but more so is the rate of fire of your supposed M-60 Machine gun, now I'm no Marine but I'm pretty sure a M-60 shoots more than TWO bullets at a time. The Master System does such a great job packing in all the enemies and colors and fine details that it leaves you the capability to fire <b>only</b> two shots at a time which is a harsh trade off but the game does look better then the other games I mentioned earlier on the NES. Oh and the SOUND !!! This game has some of the greatest music that was available at the time on 8-Bit consoles. </div>

If you can manage to make it past the first screen then you will need to master your alternate weapon "the Bow", fire it at the huts which hold the P.O.W.s that you are here to rescue. On the back of the Box it says they are in concentration camps and you must "Blow those Camps" I'm as shocked & appualed as you. In exchange for either the freedom or the blowing the troops throw you power ups like the question marked can that kills everyone on screen ? Yeah it leaves me questioning whats in the can? The thankful lads also restock your arrows which is good since the game requires them for two things the first as I mentioned is the Huts as that is the only way to free the hostages and secondly the End Bosses or Gates more accurately. The end of each stage brings Rambo face to face with a gate similar to Capcoms Commando. I was confused on how to pass the gate the first time I actually got up to one and wanted to kill myself when I couldn't blow it open and died at the furthest point I had gotten in 30 mins. The goal is to stay alive until you kill the required amount of enemies and then the gate flashes requiring that you fire one arrow at it for it to explode and then you may pass on to the next stage. Be warned as you pass on into the next area, the game offers no continues but does reward you with an extra life at each stage and the 2nd Player can join in at anytime only in the first <b>two</b> stages.</div>

In-between each stage you are treated to a film shot showing Rambo in different scenarios, the graphics here are also altered from Ashura which orginally displayed landscapes and Buddhist statues. The game has Six Levels that I have not been through but have watched footage of in long plays on YouTube and I can say the that the Stages vary nicely in style and color unlike some old NES titles and the Gun and Arrows power ups do get better later in the game. The whole game can be beaten in 25 mins if you have the abilities. Im not gonna ruin the Final Boss for you but it is VERY similar to Ikari Warriors. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Sega doesn't disappoint with a text ending like many games of the era. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The ending treats you to one last shot of a nice looking Rambo graphic firing his M-60 into the air screaming as the P.O.W.s cheer on their angery hero.</span></div>
<div>

<div>
A PAL European version was released entitled <i>Secret Command</i> and interestingly enough has the Aushra & Bishamon names but uses the Rambo and Zane sprites. It also features the Ashura title music with a slightly changed Screen Graphic.</div>

<br></div><div>I am deffinatly going to keep at this one until I can say "I beat it".</div>
<div>
I strongly suggest Downloading this on the Wii's Virtual console as each region has its approiate version available to them, and here in N.America the Ashura version is also available under imports.</div>

Personal History:<br>
Way back in 1986 I was in 4th Grade and on Christmas like many other kids I received a Nintendo Entertainment System from my Uncle (and the choir sings) and for the whole year fell in love with Mario and the many other titles on the amazing Hardware that made my 2600 look like a steaming pile. But ! The following Christmas while I was drooling over my Golden Legend of Zelda cartridge my best friend Joey called me and told me to come to his apartment immediately !! Running full speed down the block and across the street I leapt the staircase to his apt door and rudely shot past his mother and powered through his bedroom door only to be stopped in my tracks as my eyes fixated on the TV screen displaying the awesome sight that was After Burner in his HOME !!! Reaching over to the Console Joey paused the game so I could slowly approach the technical masterpiece with no distraction. As I got closer it appeared to be a sophisticated piece of machinery possibly not for kids as it had technical blueprints displayed on its smooth sleek black shell. The dark red offsetting its dark exterior further insisted to me that this was not a bright friendly child's toy. Before I could speak Joey turned back towards me holding its packaging which also had a pattern on it that made it seem very "High Tech" and the next words I heard were " its the Master System !" The "Master System". I had seen the ads in Marvel comics and on TV where the showed a Phaser and 3d glasses and I was very aware of SEGA's role in the Arcade Cabinet world but I was not prepared to so taken back by it and certainly not on my second Nintendo Christmas. I was very amazed by the Graphics and how they seemed to be better than the NES's and the images just seemed so much clearer and detailed (this was due to the fact that the sega had over 2 times as many colors). We played Alex Kidd and the Lost stars next. Later when I got home I was still very happy with my NES and amazed by the world of Zelda but from that day forward a small part of me was always looking towards the Sega Library.<br>

Years later I was excited when in Junior High a kid Joey and I had gone to grade school with mentioned he wanted to get money to buy an Game Boy and offered to sell me his Sega and 10 games for 28 dollars. ( I had already saved and bought my own <a href="http://finalbossreview.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-revolution-is-mobile.html" target="_blank">Game Boy read here</a>) I ran home and told my dad of the deal assured him it was a great price and asked if I could spend my money on it and also for a ride as he lived a bus route away and the deal would take place after dinner time. My dad made me feel like it was a big favor and drove me in the rain to a house I wasn't sure of the location of (that made dad happier I'm sure). Once the home was found I ran up these tall stairs to met his smiling outgoing friendly father and scowling lil brother (lil bro wanted the SEGA for his own). The kid showed me Spy Hunter in all its colorful detailed glory running on the console to demonstrate that it worked and then showed me the RF hook up and ports. We quickly exchanged money in front of his still grinning father and then I thanked them all, now smiling wide myself I ran with "My SMS" down the long wet stairs to my waiting father who asked if I had "every thing" and then we pulled away. I returned home so excited ran in to my room and started to hook up my new Master System next to my still loved NES. I hooked it up which didn't seem hard as I had done the same many times with my NES and Atari. When I excitedly pressed the power button it didn't turn on….. I tried several times and then asked my dad whom just reminded me that he told me to ask how to use it and get "everything". I called my classmate and ran through it with him trying it again and again. His dad suggested I bring it back and we look at it together and we double check how they had it set up. My father reluctantly drove me quietly back in the rain and I ran like hell was on my heels up the wet stairs to be greeted by a still smiling Dad that offered me a soda and showed me to my friends room. We set it up and figured maybe I had the channel 3/4 selector mixed up and so I left again thankful, waving and running…..<br>
<br>
Back home again it was still the same story but now my Dad was checking on me and the scenario was for some reason upsetting him. I was determined to get it working but my Father was more in favor of me just bringing it back since "I didn't know what I was doing" or it didn't work. So after another call and an even quieter drive back to my friends house I slowly and sadly climbed the stairs in the rain once again and was met by a disappointed friend and a Father that was trying to smile and was curious to why we couldn't just spend a minute to figure this out together, not knowing the answer myself I took the blame and offered an apology and thanks and returned home wet and saddened that a long time dream had feel through……<br>
<br>
Don't fret for me though, years later I have acquired a SEGA Master System II and am very happy with it… oh and I hooked it up just fine.<br>

To this day I still have no clue what was the cause of the malfunction as I have then and now always hooked up "all " my own consoles and electronics.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Now the Sega Story :<br>
In 1983 SEGA had entered the home console market with the SG-1000 a technacally system similar to the <i>Atari 2600</i> and <i>Coleco-Vision</i> with ports of SEGA's Zaxxon and Future Spy. Unfortunately Atari collapsed the Video Game market in the USA and then the World (Thanks Boner). Sega's <b><i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_SG-1000" target="_blank">SG-1000</a> </i></b>went down the tubes taking its profits and financial stability with it. Purchased by Japanese company CSK and re-named Sega Enterprises in 1984 a follow up console was proposed the <i style="font-weight: bold;">SG-1000 Mark II. </i>The Mark II was an attempt to gain ground on the now empty home console gaming market, unfortunately for Sega their competitors Nintendo had the same idea and released the <i>Nintendo Family Computer</i> or <i><b><a href="http://finalbossreview.blogspot.com/2013/05/happy-anniversary.html" target="_blank">Famicom</a></b></i> one full year earlier. Another revision quickly came to battle in the console war. The SG-1000 Mark III was a great piece of hardware in 1985 when it launch at home in Japan with Fm sound and twice as many color capabilities than the Nintendo offering but… without software there is no Hardware. Nintendo in that first year had optioned <b>ALL</b> the third party developers and <b>LOCKED</b> them in to the now infamous contracts that stated they could <b>NOT</b> publish their NES titles and Arcade ports on any other hardware. Releasing cheaper SEGA Card titles games not on cart but flat credit cards was an attempt to keep costs down and profits up, but this didn't help. Sega undoubtedly had great Arcade ports of their own and a <i>technically</i> <i>superior</i> machine by the numbers but with Nintendo having all the other companies in its corner it was Sega vs the World. Determined to make things work Sega attempted to capitalize on a trick called "re-programing" where they would use a "legal loop hole" to buy and build a game already in contract by Nintendo but completely build a new version of it internally at Sega making it technically the same but different game, while this trick worked it was costly. NEC would later use this same trick against Sega and Nintendo on its PC Engine system aka the Turbo-Grafx 16. Sega scrambled to Launch the MarkIII in North America re-named the impressive sounding Sega Master System. But much to Sega's dismay they arrived once again in this new region too late as well…. Nintendo Had also been here in the States for a year and re-issued the same contracts to the old and the new publishers alike on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Sega's loses weighed heavy and forced the Execs to sell off N.American distribution rights to <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonka" target="_blank">Tonka</a></b> an American company well known for its popular large metal construction toys. Back in Japan the company tried to re-release a Mark III that looked like the N. American version (?????) and as you may have guessed this did NOTHING for sales. Meanwhile Tonka was failing at trying to learn how to swim in the middle of the video game market. Many blame Tonka for the American failure of the Master System but close inspection shows that it was a sinking ship when sold to them. Yes the Toy Truck company passed on some games that were selling well in other regions but the Master System was already fighting to grab 10% of Nintendo's domain. Back at HQ in Japan the execs were once again looking for someway to gain a footing let alone get ahead of Nintendo, and then it appeared before them..<br>

Nintendo was doing so well at home and on US shores that when it released the Pal NES in Europe at the end of 1986 it launched with a inflated price and small ad campaign, this seemed cocky to some at the time and were put off by the display. Many households in the UK and Europe still enjoyed their Home Computers for gaming as <b>"Taping"</b> was all the rage (Taping is the coping of software aka pirating). Sega became aware of this over sight and leapt at the chance to become Europe's premiere Home Console. Wisely Sega partnered themselves with Mastertronic a UK company known for releasing inexpensive games on the PC. the European Master System was released to empty market just before Christmas season 1987. The European marketing played the strengths and pushed the "Arcade action in your Home" angle as many were familiar with the Sega arcade library. The launch titles reflected the pitch perfectly, games like Out Run, Space Harrier, Shinobi & After Burner were at the core of the Arcade experience for any gamer. No more loading times on cheap Micro PCs for these gamers the satisfaction was instant and the same could be said for Mastertronic whom did so well that they were acquired by Richard Branson's Mega company <i>Virgin</i>. Later in N.America Sega bought back the distribution rights from a suffering Tonka and released the repackaged Master System II. The fresh look for the console didn't do much in the US for sales despite coming with the company's mascot Alex Kidd built in to the hardware as a free game. The Master System II removed any chance of playing the cheaper abandoned Sega Card titles or the 3d Glasses. The redesign was also seen in Europe and moved a few more consoles at a reduced price in the already SEGA claimed territory. With the 16 bit Mega Drive/ Genesis already announced and on its way not much could be done to save the US sales but Europe continued to release titles that were meant for the Mega Drive like Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Mortal Kombat, Mercs and many more…<br>

Sega still looking for more ground to release its fading 8-bit Master System and possibly find a future home for its coming console looked to South America this time mainly Brazil. The country was hungry for a Home Console feeling abandoned and left behind welcomed the Sega Master System with open arms in 1989 which was to say the least was late in the consoles career. Brazilian company Tec Toy developed the 3rd wave of Master System game well in to the 1990's…. Yup I said 90's !! Many console revisions were released by Tec Toy like wireless his and her Master Systems known as "The Compact" a Master System III with a Sonic the Hedgehog graphic on the shell as well as the Sonic game built in as Alex Kidd's the previous Sega mascots had been before. But most importantly is the fact that Tec Toy kept releasing GAMES !!! Titles like Streets of Rage 2, Ecco the Dolphin 1 & 2, Battle Toads and Street Fighter II !! The Company even decided to release Sega Game Gear games on the Home Console since the Game Gear was just a portable Master System from a hardware standpoint. And 2008 saw the release of a Sonic themed Tec Toy Master System with 6 button pads known as the "Evolution"<br>

Many great games were available on the Mark III / Master System Phantasy Star, Double Dragon, Wonder Boy, Ghost Busters, After Burner, Out Run, Space Harrier Alex Kidd, Shinobi, Kenseiden, ninja Gaiden, Choplifter, Zillion, R-type, Govellious and the list goes on. The console receives much love in the European and Brazilian Markets as it was their answer to home gaming but it has almost no foot print sadly in my home region of North America. The lack of interest in the States shows in the price tags placed on the resale of the Console and Games which one would think would have a "rare" status due to the small release and library but if know one hears a tree… you know the rest. Now Don't hit me with hate mail I clearly love the system and a small rise in price recently shows a growing interest in America but I believe its mostly due to Retro Gameing as a whole getting larger. But for those wanting to relive their Sega Love or finally get a hold of it like myself there is great news !!! The UK, Euro, Austrailian and Brazlian games ALL work in our NTSC system !! I probably just created a price increase and competition but hey were all apart of a community.<br>

Way back in 1985 the Pint sized version of me was super excited as yet another of the Arcade Hits was coming to the Nintendo Entertainment System. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capcom" target="_blank">CAPCOM</a> had enjoyed great success with their first Shoot 'em Up or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_%27em_up" target="_blank">SHMUP</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgus" target="_blank">Vulgus </a>and decided to return to the format with a War based story. The plot of 1942 takes place during WWII's Pacific Theater campaign as the player pilots "Super Ace" an American Lockheed a P-38 Lightning and is pitted against the entire Japanese Air-force while on the way to clear a route from Midway to Okinawa for the North American Fighters & Bombers. As a kid I was one of many that thought its strange that a Japanese company would make such a game and assumed that it was repackaged for the N.American market, well we were wrong. The game infact DID start out as described ahead and has need been altered, the Japanese company <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capcom" target="_blank">CAPCOM</a> new the value of the Arcade Market over seas and felt from the initial conception that this game would sell well and worried not about personal history over profit. CAPCOM's game plan proved right and the game has launched many sequels and even a recent remake in HD on Xbox360 Live and Sony's PS3 Network.<br />

The game play got more exaggerated and complex over the years but the original is simplicity at its best. The Super Ace with its unlimited ammo (thank you programers) leaves a Aircraft carrier at the beginning of each stage to take on several types of Japanese aircraft and returns to the Carrier at the end of the stage. This format continues for 32 Stages counting down to Stage 1, along the trip the player will pass thru eight Japanese teritories and encounter small, mid and large aircrafts. I remember as a kid feeling anxious and all alone flying over the giant barren blue ocean below and thought to myself on many occasions that this is how the actual pilots in the war must have felt, and to this day I wonder if that was the programmers intention. Breaking up the game play on Stages 26, 18, 10 & 2 a very large Boss craft will fly on screen and take considerably much more damage than any over craft before meeting its demise. Shooting down entire strings of red fighter planes will result in the reward of CAPCOM's now famous "POW" power-up, depending on the icon's color the power-up will either be extra "mini-aces" that fly as your wing man or a fire power upgrade, instant screen kill or multiple points. The mini Aces have always been a favorite of mine for their fire power and shield like ability, they leave you when you land on the Carrier but quickly return to your side upon take off. Another CAPCOM staple makes a hidden appearance here as well the <a href="http://capcom.wikia.com/wiki/Yashichi" target="_blank">Yashichi</a> item granting 5,000 points. Last but not least is your other weapon and a series staple the "LOOP" a 360 vertical Loop the Loop which allows you to avoid enemy fire and collisions as it takes you above the fight and grants invincibility. Many have stated that the best strategy is to not try and shoot down all the enemy planes just avoid collisions and shoot anything in your way, don't sacrifice your remaining planes for power-ups and focus on safely returning each stage to the Aircraft Carrier. Bonus points are earned at the end of each stage based on planes shot down and Loop abilities not used, the bonus points will add up to extra lives which you may need to get to the end of this long game that has no ending payoff…. Thats right another ungrateful game that just ends in a points tally and a Congratulations… not in that order. The good news is you don't have to play thru twice like Gn'G.<br />

Don't let the non-ending deter you from playing one of the best Arcade conversions of the early NES catalog. The only thing to deter you should be the ANNOYING marching band tinny music, as a kid I don't know how I withstood it. Im kidding its not that bad …. no Im not it IS. Joking a side the game is a classic and is defiantly fun to pit your skill against and challenge friends. The simplicity can still be appreciated today and if nothing else this is the game that spawned the 19XX series. Other games in the Series introduce Co-Op play as well as many over the top enemies and weapons, 1943, 1943 Kai, 1941, 19xx and 1944 are not to be missed and the new HD 1942 is fun too. Arcade versions appear often on CAPCOM Classics Collections since the PSone and Sega Saturn era, But I strongly suggest you leave here and immediately head to the Wii Virtual Console to download the classic NES version of 1942 for the price of a foot-long at SUBWAY.<br />

Now I'm not so sure.<br />

In 1985 the Arcade Juggernaut CAPCOM released<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commando_(arcade_game)" target="_blank"> Commando</a> the first non-space themed shooter, it wasn't so much of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmup" target="_blank">"SHMUP"</a> either though it was a new concept altogether an on foot War Zone styled game a "Run N Gun" as the genre became known. Not to be out done and wanting a piece of the market Game manufacturer and noted CAPCOM Arch-Rival SNK launched its own war based RnG entitled IKARI meaning Fury in Japanese. State side and in Europe the game would become known as Ikari-Warriors.<br />

Ikari Warriors put players in control of Paul & Vince or in Japan Ralph & Clark, the Ralph and Clark personas would out live the other two as the duo over the years became staples in the King of Fighters series since KOF '94 and also appearing as new playable characters the in Modern/Classic Run n' Gun series Metal Slug 6 & 7. Oh and yeah I did just say that they're are TWO players, SNK's Ikari Warriors made several improvements over its rival. Ikari had you control these rough and tuff bare chested lads with the use of a eight way control stick that also had a rotating function so as you walked on screen you could easily turn to face a enemy from any direction while continuing walking in another, this brought about an almost real movement to the game and added a level of play to the newly spawned genre. SNK didn't stop there with the innovations it busted out tanks and helicopters…. whats that you say Commando had those …? Well you're right !! But you couldn't pilot them yourself now could yah sonny jim?<br />
NO YOU COULDN'T !!! Sooo sit down!! The inclusion of drivable tanks and a Pilotable Copter was really kool and made those portions of the game feel cutting edge. This also of course led to friends and strangers alike fighting over who would grab a lone or remaining tank. Although I want to mention that if your vechile runs outta gas it explodes… ? Thats just a strange lesson to teach kids. Despite the lack of logic the game ate so many quarters in Arcades that it was ported to the Famicom & Nintendo as well as some home Computers I don't know nor care about… hey sorry I was too poor to own a Computer till '95.<br />

Tradewest handled the porting and Ive heard many say its graphically unimpressive or that the controls suck but to be fair the Nintendo version was a very ambitious port. Back in the day all my favorite games were in the Arcade and home-converstions is what owning a console was all about so you dealt with these issues like in the cases of Double Dragon or Bad Dudes, I feel sometimes people forget what we had to work with back in the day. Moving forward … Unlike its rival SNK decided the player should have limited ammo and grenades this adds difficulty at home since if you wanted to use your Nes Advantage for the turbo fire or any other rapid fire controller it quickly drain your supply and left you begging the gods for a single bullet as you over throw grenades past intended targets and then feverishly run from glitchy blue and pink soldiers. The Basic Enemy soldiers were blue with some item dropping pink ones sprinkled in to the mix, don't doubt the manliness of the pink guys, when they rush past you off screen they double back unlike the blue boys. Quite a few variants on these two pop up through out the game such as the Bazooka troops, elites, swimmers, kamikaze, snipers and a shield carrying one but personally Ive always been found of three particular guys the Robo-Trooper, the Ralph and Clark Clones and of course who could forget Macho Man…. not Randy Savage but just a hulking huge sleeveless mohawk sporting individual that comes charging down the screen swinging a giant wooden club in a fire fight….. Yup its weird.<br />

In 1986 I was so excited to bring home a copy in its shiny silver box with the action promising painted art on the cover. But the box could have been blank for all I cared as I had liberated hundreds of quarters from my dads dresser over the last few months and pumped them directly in to the Ikari Cabinet at my local Luncheonette (news stand/eatery). Excited to not have to steal change anymore from my towering father I slid the cartridge from the dust jacket and into the grey toaster like Nintendo. When the two heroes walked on screen and rotated 360 while firing at the game logo I couldn't wait to press start, lifting my right thumb off the start button my jaw dropped as I watched the heroes flaming plane crash land in the Jungles of South America in what I thought looked graphically as good as the Arcade. Paul I mean <b>Ralph</b> sprang from the wreck and enemies rushed in from the top of the screen. Griping my uncomfortably sharp edged NES controller I pressed forward mashing the B button mowing down enemies and grinning as they suddenly seemed to recognize my threat of death and turned away running, as I came upon the first armored bunker much like in the arcade game I moved forward to draw its fire and then turned to make a strafing run at it and blow it to smithereens as I had done a thousand times in the arcade when suddenly I died….What the HELL I just saw Ralph and Clark doing the 360 movement on the title screen how can you show me something in the same graphics as the game and not let me do it 3 seconds later !?!?!? This was <b>one </b>of my first experiences with frustrating home conversions as a kid. Now the Controls are a big hurtle in this port since the NES D-Pad doesn't do rotating and there is really no way to emulate it at home even with the Nes Advantage. This causes the player to have to make sort of a U-turn every time you want to change direction. The U-Turn controls were not the only hurtle as the characters hold the machine guns one handed and SNK made it "realistic" by having the bullets fire from off to the side of your avatar where the gun is located. As correct or eye pleasing as this is it really makes it hard to target enemies that are designed to rush at you firing and then dart away to dodge your counter attack, the rotating joy stick really helped correct this in the Arcade version. These things did hinder my game play but as a kid very excited to own a Arcade hit I pushed onward. A few scrolling screens later and I felt the speed of Ralph was not the same as in the Original it felt as if I was really forcing him beyond his will to move forward. The slower progression probably is partly due to the constant serpentining I was forced to do to navigate around the map with out the 360 controls. My frustrations hit me head on when I died and had NOOO continues……. WAIT A SECOND in the Arcade if I had more quarters I could play all day ? Now that I OWN the Game and paid probably 50 or 60 bucks for it I can't freely continue all I want or at all even? What the Mutha Lovin #$%^&*#$%^&*!!!!!! After complaining to my non-caring adult handlers I sat down and just kept at it trying to memorize the game enough to inch my way further and further. After dinner the next day I went to my shelf and pulled out my copy of THE OFFICIAL NINTENDO PLAYERS GUIDE. Reading the book previous to owning the game I remembered it mentioning some code… A,B,B,A, thats what was to be entered in at the moment of death before the game over text pops on screen so that you may continue from the very spot you drop. Haleighula !!! Praise Mario !!! So I sat back down and attempted to play through the game some more but after having replayed the game with out the code all day and with it being a school night, saving the world would have to wait till tomorrow. At school all day I waited to get home and play it again with my new found weapon A,B,B,A. Running home with my friend Reggie in tow we sat down and I briefed Reg on how to do the code and we set off to beat the game….. I should mention that when doing the code one can not rush or mistakes will be made also when utilizing 2 player mode if one player dies and goes to enter the code the other player must not die him or herself be fore the first player rises or else NO ONE continues….. so excited nerves and tired thumbs lead to being forced to completely starting over again…. so go kiss your memory cards and hard drives right now ! After several attempts we got tired and gave up.<br />

A few weeks later and my cousin CJ came to spend the summer as he always did and we sat down to decide what game we would complete, upon seeing Ikari Warriors in my stock CJ was very adamant about what game would be first especially with the Nintendo Players guide giving us maps of the entire game and item locations my cousin pointed out. I felt glad someone had noticed the usefulness of the guide (I didn't) and we sat down with a fresh 2 liter of Coca Cola Classic and a bowl containing a party sized bag of Doritos. After many hours and a very long and dangerous paused game for dinner we came to the last portion of the game the guide book displayed. We had no idea the first level alone was sooo long hell you could beat Contra <b>Three times</b> in the length of the first stage. When we finally got to the end of stage two points were issued and the game carried on….. Nope not like the Dreaded Ghost and Goblins this was a completely new area !! Stages 1 & 2 looked like the same jungle but stage 3 was something wholly new and not a redesign…. the Nintendo Players Guide Oh excuse me the OFFICIAL Nintendo Players Guide stops mapping the game at the end of Stage 2 ?!?! Yet it doesn't mention it and shows several other games all the way through like Goonies2, Super Mario Bros, Tyson's Punch Out, Kid Icarus, Castlevania, Ghost n' Gah Damn Goblins OH and COMMANDO!!<br />
So whatever right ? I mean we were shocked and fatigued but Hey more game for the buck right !? I mean we got Caffeine and whatever the hell is in Dorritos and A,B,B,A so were good man. The Cold grey Orwell 1984 inspired stage was creepy with unfamiliar landscapes and new hazards like pursuing land mines popping up all the time. A portion had this weird piping all over the floor that some of it you could walk over and others prohibited you and if the boys were not careful someone could get stuck . Also waiting on one screen too long meant that missiles fired from off camera would randomly start descending on the heroes taking out the mobile and immobile alike. We got really far on the Third stage when CJ went to use the continue code and it didn't work then I died shortly after and tried and it with no response either thats when we learned the code stops working 3/4 of the way into Stage Three… @#$%^&*(*&^%$#$%^&*&^%$#!!!!!!! With our young over caffeinated hopes of glory crushed we shut off the extremely overheated NES and passed out for the night. Either the next day or the Following we started early and went at Ikari Warriors head on with finely tuned thumbs punching out the A,B,B,A's with such methodical precision we both should have became surgeons. This time making it all the way to the end of Stage 3 and finding the End Boss already dead behind his desk, yup. He's already dead? After blowing up his corpse we danced around throwing grenades and found a staircase hidden at the base of his desk. Traveling on to the practically hidden Stage 4 the unthinkable happened the NES over heated……YUP !! The first Red Ring o Death ever !! The console just froze the screen and emitted a hellish ringing beep from the TV…… well we wanted to scream bloody murder and smash the game but we owed it to ourselves to defeat this Fu*ker!<br />

After taking a lunch break we started over from the beginning and added a small electronics cooling fan to the NES. With rage and grim determination we went after Ikari Warriors like it had punted our NES off a roof top and replaced it with the Atari 2600. During lunch CJ had once again consulted the Nintendo Players Guide for some hope Official answers to our eternal struggle…. and guess what he found some…. the Guide said that at the Title screen enter the commands - UP-DOWN-A-A-B-LEFT-RIGHT-A-B-UP-A-DOWN-RIGHT-RIGHT-LEFT-B-UP-LEFT-A-RIGHT-B-LEFT-RIGHT-A-LEFT-UP-A-DOWN-A-RIGHT-LEFT-B- and you will be able to select the stage you wish to start from, wait ???? What?!?!?!?! Oh My God!!!! After all that, days of playing over from the start and we could just "warp" to the stage we left off at? After about 30mins of trying to enter the damn code we selected Stage 4 and marched off in to the Tron esque landscape. Even though we now had the Stage Select code we had to play at our best because the continue code would not work from here on. Forty minutes later we had restarted the game 3 times and we made it to the Final Boss a Giant metal skull that chattered at us as its robo-force swarmed us. Some well lobed grenades took out the bitch ass Metal Mumm Ra, YESSSS !!!!!!!! Dropping the sweat covered controllers to the floor we fell backwards in relief….. I quickly jumped up to see the visual ending I had expected based off the Plane Crash intro, there had to be a graphic out-tro.. right? The screen went black and all that was there was a horribly translated in to english message from General Kawasaki reminding us that we are the very prevailer that protect right, and that he would like to express his sincere and that we should take good rest, Oh thats nice…. WHAT THE @#$%^&*&^%$%^ ?!?!?!?! TAKE GOOD REST???? WHAT THE SH!T DOES THAT MEAN!??!?! All that and we got crap ……. except the right to say we beat IKARI WARRIORS on the playground for full bragging rights so I guess that was all we needed…..<br />

This wouldn't be the last game me and my Cousin struggled to finish over the years to come…<br />
I guess after looking back on that experience and replaying both the Arcade and NES versions for this article I can say I still hold Ikari Warriors in high regard. Ralph and Clark are favorites of mine in KOF and it was great to see them in respectively displayed in Metal Slug. The Ikari Warriors are classic and old friends.<br />

<b>PS VITA</b><br />
First were gonna start of with a game I am VERRRYYYYYY excited about .......<br />
<br />
<b>Ys 4 : Memories of Celceta</b><br />
Pronounced EESE this series may be new to some of you but It is an established legacy series among many. Older than Final Fantasy and more reliable (I said it so what?) the Ys series is a unique Action/RPG that I will devote more time to another day, BUT make NO mistake it IS MY FAVORITE RPG SERIES !! Ys on the Turbo-Grafx 16 CD is also my favorite game EVER.... Bold statement I KNOW. This one in particular comes to the USA for the first time ever on the VITA Nov.26 and can be pre-ordered at Gamestop for $60 in a Silver Anniversary Edition that nets you the ENTIRE Series soundtracks, a large Cloth Map, an Art book and compass and some other neat stuff. If your saying well I never played the first ones don't worry it doesn't matter and the original games are available on the Vita and PSP cheap in updated gorgeousness to match the new games, orrrr play it old school on the Wii Virtual console. I can't recommended this series enough its fast paced action, fun and tells a story like nothing else in the genre. If I recommended 10 old school series this would be at the top.

Next is a Import bundle...<br />
<br />
<b>Ps Vita SLIM God Eater 2 Edition</b><br />
Thats right SONY has a skinny fetish and every thing must get SLIM'D. So for whatever reason Sony has some how shaved down the already sleek Vita (I have the original one its perfect) and with the new release comes the first of many Im sure of Limited Editions This one is designed with God Eater Series in mind and comes bundled with the new title. The Sony Handhelds for those that don't know are REGION FREE that means buy a Japanese one <b>or </b>N.American one and never worry about playing local & import games they do it all. If you dont already have a Vita or a loved one doesn't this is a nice designed one but is subject to SONY's high pricing. Its $399.99 comes out Nov.14 and can be ordered quickly and easily from <a href="http://play-asia.com/">Play-Asia.com</a> . Below are also pictures of the Final Fantasy slim and Gundam Edition with figures in the bundle and the Gundam one is only $349? And also coming Nov.14 2013.<br />

<b>JoJo's Bizare Adventure All Star Battle </b><br />
JoJo's is another Japan only release that should not be passed over Fans of the show and comic have been waiting years for a updated game in the series. the dreamcast had a excellent 2D CAPCOM arcade fighter which recently was rereleased on PSN in HD so check it out. The Dreamcast versions sits in my console for months at a time when I get in to the game. The JoJo story is great and the gameplay is amazing the series has characters like no other and are so unique you'll be hungry for more of the series in no time. Play-Asia.com is currently selling the game with a reduction of 26 dollars for a price of $49.00, Thats a really fair deal especially for someones first Import game and a special holiday gift. Beware the Limited Edition is still $170 although I believe it used to be $198.<br />

<b>BlazBlue-Chrono Phantasm</b><br />
Chrono Phantasam is the 3rd orr 4th game in the franchise depending on which titles you count hell maybe the 5th but thats not important. What is important is that unless you've played a BlazBlue title then YOU HAVE NEVER played 2D Fighting game this GORGEOUS ! Arc System Works has been keeping the 2D fighting genre alive and fresh with this series, after Street Fighter 4 failed to meet "all" SF fans expectations many have moved over to another game for the first time EVER and BlazBlue is that game. Arc Proves that 2D fighters aren't dead as disco very installment and give fans tons of extras including solid voice acting & multiple fleshed out stories for each character( things Capcom skimped on for years). Try one of the installments today on 360, PS3 or PSP and Vita you wont be disappointed just look below at the pics or watch a video on youtube. Region free Japan and Asia versions available Nov 22 for $65 dollars or you can wait till March for N.American release. Expensive Limited Editions also available for the Hardcore Collector and Arcade stick as well. Check Play-Asia.<br />

<b>Drag-on Dragoon 3</b><br />
This game sereves as a prequel to a series you may not know but don't worry its supreme awesomeness dispels any concern you may have. This title is loved by all whom played it on PS2 and this one is handled by the creator of the original inspirational Panzer Dragoon series from the Sega Saturn. Im not gonna go into detail again as before do yourself the favor and go straigh to youtube and then open a new tab and go to <a href="http://play-asia.com/">Play-Asia.com</a> and add it to your pre-orders, the import is available dec 19 the day before a certain someones Birthday but N.American stores wont see it till TBA 2014. Once agin a super huge boxed edition is available in honor of its 10th Anniversary.<br />

On to Nintendo !<br />
<br />
<b>Nintendo Wii U</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Super Mario World 3D</b><br />
SMW3D comes out in just eleven days on Nov. 21st, I don't think we need to explain this one to much its the Home console continuation of the 3D Land on the 3DS. The Game is fresh and bigger than ever on the Wii U with a big focus on multiplayer and new power-up items like the Cat suits. This is a definite gift for any one with a Wii U console IF they haven't preordered it already.<br />

<b>Bayonetta 2 </b><br />
The hot new SEGA franchise is now a Nintendo EXCLUSIVE !! For those that think the Big N wont allow "adult games" or violent game it doesn't get more extreme than Bayonetta (GTA is just silly fun shock value in comparison) This game was playable on a looong demo at NY Comic Con and Oh My Kojima it was amazing the Boss battles are as big as EVER. Lets stop for a sec..... if YOU havent played Bayonetta 1 then PLEASE go out and pick it up TODAY !! You wont be sorry I promise its on the 360 and PS3 for a reduced price these days as it is at least 2 years old. Fire up YouTube again and see the Trailer for Bayonetta 2 and then realize THAT IS ACTUALLY GAMEPLAY!!!. Platinum Games officially stated that SEGA couldn't afford to fund the game any more and that Microsoft and Sony refused offers to fund it despite the fact that they wanted it for they're consoles based off the popularity of the first game. Platnuim stated that without Nintendo there would be No Bayonetta 2..... Thats all I got , thats it just watch it on Youtube.... unfortunately you can only preorder it as a gift because its release in in 2014 but the gift will be appreciated, trust me.<br />

<b>Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze</b><br />
Nintendo brings DKC in to the HD generation, keeping the original style and heart of the series this new adventure not only returns dixie kong to the mix but adds new concepts. The story is that DK and clan must travel back across 5 islands to return home and reclaim it from some Vikings and their walrus leader. The game stays a platform but the DEV team has expanded what a platformer can be by having the camera spin around the character and even follow them off the static side scrolling path. It all come together quite naturally with the enhanced but simplistic controls. A great present for anyone who owned the original SNES classic. The game falls from the tree December 6th for only 50 Bananas. (bad joke)<br />

<b>Sonic The Hedgehog: The Lost Worlds</b><br />
Lost worlds is a in my dangerous opinion the best Sonic 3d game since I was wow'd by the Dreamcast Adventures (please dont shoot me). I am not a Sonic autherity but SEGA it seems has taken a serious look at some of the Fans Hate Mail and a que from Mario Galaxy and given us the best of all things Sonic has always had the potential to be. Hell maybe the hardware wasnt invented that could handle the blue blur till now but what ever it is its GREAT ! EGG Man is back to take over the world and has brought along some Friends from SEGA's NiGHTS in to Dreams Universe.... Yeah you read correctly... Oh yah Im wondering the same thing too..... NEW NiGHTS GAME!!!!! We Hope! But until then Enjoy Sonic Best Outing in Years........ Game is already released sorry if you missed the Free Bonus game edition ( I didnt) Im sure DLC will be out soon. BTW ALL Shots below are <b>IN GAME</b> <b>FOOTAGE</b>......<br />

Honorable mention<br />
<b>DuckTales</b><br />
If you never played the Classic CAPCOM NES game then heres your chance to play it with the original controls but in beautifully redone HD graphics. The game was already a digital download but CAPCOM has a boxed version for only 19 bucks a great stocking stuffer or inexpensive gift in the money troubling holiday season.<br />

<b>XBOX360</b><br />
Unfortunately I didn't see any notable releases Exclusively for the Three Six. Im gonna assume Microsoft is putting all its broken red eggs in the ONE basket which releases Nov 22 in N.America the same day as several other items and a week after the equally hefty priced PS4.<br />
<br />
<b>XBOX ONE & PS4 </b><br />
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA ....... *Catches breath Oh sorry bout that. Moving on.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Nintendo 3DS</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Bundle</b><br />
This is the Holiday release I have been waiting for Not only is the sequel to the SNES Classic a Link to the Past finally here but.......... a reduced priced Zelda themed 3DS XL is now available !!!!!!<br />
The newly designed 3DS XL is a mirror image of the game itself as it lives in the light and dark worlds of Hyrule. The boxed set is only $219 USD and you get the system and game. In Canada and Europe there is a very specific edition of the game that come with a musical Treasure box straight from the Zelda-Verse see the images below to send yourselves in to a frenzy. The Canada version is playable on the NTSC system but the 3DS is region locked unlike its predecessor the DS so make sure you don't get the Europe version if you live in N.America. I am a Zelda nut and have pre-ordered it from Canada thru a friend. Go on eBay and get yours today before the price goes thru the roof currently the price from most sellers is 10 dollars over the original which is acceptable I feel.<br />

<b>OnePiece</b><br />
Not one but TWO redesigned 3DS LL (XL outside Japan) models are being released to coincide with the release of the new game based of the widely popular Manga& Anime ONE PIECE. The game looks amazing but is not in english yet the good news is the consoles don't include the game so your free to buy the appropreate version later for your Local region 3DS.... the bad news is the price is a whopping 399 USD for the Red version and 379 USD for the Pink ......yeouch !!! Hey the series is very popular and don think the systems wont be sold out by their release date of Nov. 21st and as always available on <a href="http://play-asia.com/">PLAY-Asia.com</a><br />

Im not going to mention the 3DS <b>Pokemon</b> systems or the <b>X&Y</b> games as anyone interested already owns them and knows tons more than I. I will mention that inexpensive great gifts can be bought in two DS titles that have dropped in price <b>Mega Man Zero collection</b> and <b>MegaMan ZX</b> can be bought for about 20 dollars and are fantastic gifts for a DS owner or 3DS owner whom may not have had time to play them at launch 2 years ago. And for any Ergoge fans in your life I saw a disturbingly funny 3DS game set called High School DxD and just look at the pics below and see what it comes with...<br />

Another Zelda Collectable is a bit more expensive but well worth the look on the recipients face. <b>The Lengend of Zelda strategy guide boxed set</b> comes in a pixelized storage chest that contains the <b>soldout</b> Hardcover guides for the last 3 3DS games and the last 3 Wii/WiiU titles, laser etched gold metallic bookmark and a signed certificate by Mr. Eiji Aonuma himself. The set drops on our world Nov. 26th and can be bought from Games Stop, Amazon and many others although months ago Amazon was offering a huge discount for preorder ( that I capitalized on) that may be still available. The retail price is $179.99. If purchased as a gift be prepared to be hugged to DEATH !!!!<br />

So the titles a mouthful this week but deservingly so since the game is a handful and this article has been waiting weeks to get ripped from the pages of the "Finishers War Journal". This War Journal entry comes to us in the form of a Pirate copy which means its from The BIG BOX O' PIRATED BOOTY that I received from Pirate Island (Thailand) O ' so many months ago.<br />

The game is Salamander for the Famicom by KONAMI, now a lot can be said about Salamander but lets start off by saying that this Pirate while in a Famicom cartridge is actually the NES version which is known state side as Life Force. The title isn't the only thing different about the game its a loooooong story so in short when Konami brought the original to Arcades in N.America they changed the the weapon earning system as well as the backgrounds and some enemies to look more organic so it almost appears your flying in side of a giant organic creature (shrugs while spoken)? KONAMI later threw both games into a blender when they ported them to the Famicom and NES and we got a totally mashed up version. Confused ? wanting a more thorough explanation? well good... but your not getting it here. To add to your confusion the game features the same power ups and ships from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradius" target="_blank">Gradius</a> the Vic Viper & Lord British and was even released right after <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradius" target="_blank">Gradius</a>....but is not a sequel although Gradius has many, instead its sort of a story set in the same universe. This version uses a Gradius style weapon bar that allows you to select/purchase weapon upgrades through collecting capsules left behind by enemies. As you collect the capsules the Highlighted weapon will change when you select the weapon you want the bar will reset back to the first weapon choice and you must collect more capsules to move down the bar t the next upgrade you want. Multiple upgrades can be used at once in combination and some even can be built up twice like missiles or "option" which is a little sphere that follows you and fires when you do.<br />

Life Force/Salamander was one of the first two player co-op <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shump" target="_blank">SHUMP's</a>. The game also accepts the KONAMI code aka CONTRA code at the start screen for 30 extra lives but gives no indication that the code worked so you wont know till you've started playing. As a kid I wish I knew that it took the code as my friend Chris Z was obsessed with this game and always wanted to play it if we were gonna play Nintendo, to boot he,always insisted that I have a go at it in turn and I totally sucked at it and I recall him even lending it to me so I could try and get better so we might beat it together which was terribly kind but made me loath it even more when I still sucked in the privacy of my own home. Many years later and here we are with me wondering why I thought buying a Big Ol' Box of Pirated Booty that included this game was a good idea..... on to the War Journal Entry....<br />

The Finisher-War Journal- Life Force<br />
The Title screen shows us an amazing bit of title art but also displays yet another example of poor Nintendo Proof reading as the game states it is Licenced by NINTEND of America, not kidding just look at the screens below they left off the O in their own name... isnt that like 200 points in the SAT exams just getting your name right? Oh well.. As soon as I hit start the Vic Viper blasts on screen and the nostalgia hits me dead in the face and the music engulfs me and sends me back to a very frustrating time from my past......<br />
<br />
STAGE 1<br />
Waves of grouped enemy ships fly at me in tight formation creating a nice shooting gallery feel and leave weapon capsules in their wake. I quickly select my upgrades on the screen below as they are unlocked, I chose to purchase them in reverse order of right to left so I can spend the capsules on the end ones first and get the "cheaper ones" after with little effort. I select Options and Missiles in that order just as the next phase begins. A large arm uncoils from the ceiling of the approaching cavern and is met with Lasered Death as the Viper brings us in to the threatening landscape. Im forced to quickly out maneuver two huge ground beef stalagmite and stalactites which are part of a repeative defensive system of this area. After evading several groupings of them my 20 year old memories flash in to remind me of one that is suddenly triggered and tries to cut me off from the entire screen... I avoid scrolling death and reminisce over how many ships that wall took from me as a kid... Next we move on to blue and purple hues and try to shoot down the fleeing weapon capsule holding clown hats whilst trying to avoid the deadly penis cannons.... what did I stutter? Look at them ....and you tell me how to describe them, shit creeps me out still 20 yrs later. Shiver. Now this part always frustrates me as the missiles launch and ride the surface of the cavern you'd think the enemies on the surface would be easy pray .. But No... The firing rate KONAMI programers setup has you chasing after them in the Vic Viper like Scrooge McDuck after a shiny damn Dime. Gigantic indestructible horns or possibly fangs raise and lower in sequence from the walls as I still burn over the poor missile design. I shoot my way through veins and what look like tumorous sacks to then carve out tunnels to fly through in walls made out of what looks like more ground beef, I stay close to the right as the tunnel is designed to colapse on any ships lingering behind before I can think about how disgusting this game is getting the music changes tempo and the screen to ......<br />

STAGE 1 BOSS<br />
A large wall starts to deteriorate and reveals a giant floating brain that grows arms and begins to follow me around the screen. After a quick counter clockwise pass a single eye opens at the front and the classic gaming weak point is reveled. With my options and laser powered up another pass round the screen and with some direct shots is all thats required to dispose of this.....Nightmarish threat? Man I really remember this level & Boss being much much harder as a kid, But I did play this level over and over again sooo lets see how we fair against ....<br />

STAGE 2<br />
The game switches things up and now we are scrolling vertically from a top down viewpoint through a canyon of sorts. Im fed upgrade capsules which I trade for more missile fire power to deal with the threat of non-penis like wall mounted cannons. After a short scroll the Vic flies us into a asteroid field which even after many attempts I still can not navigate successfully...I guess C3PO was right. The canyon suddenly offers multiple paths to choose from none of them being wrong but some seems easier than others. The paths continue to appear in twos and threes this starts to cut down maneuverability of my ship and the game take advantage by throwing increasingly more & more hazards and more enemy fire from mobile mechs with missiles. Once again we tunnel our way through a large wall with laser fire and on the other side grab some last minute weapon Capsules to replace what the asteroid field claimed. Soon the Vic Viper and I find ourselves in a large chamber that is definitely more mechanical in appearance. This Boss is very reminiscent of the first stage Boss from Contra and if you quickly take out the spheres at the top the danger lessens of being hit by the blue orbs, some very fast aiming and I'm suddenly a smiling idiot like Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China... the screen continues to scroll and the music changes its tune when my giggling Burton invincibility fades away as before me is the....<br />

STAGE 2 BOSS<br />
A large craft approches from above with tendrils flailing from it making it hard to take out its obvious weak spot located at the end of a channel in its core. A few close calls and some well timed shots take it down faster than David Lo Pan.... Its all in the reflexes.<br />

<br />
STAGE 3<br />
Its back to side scrolling... seeing a pattern yet? Starting right off at bat I have another chance to power the Viper up with capsules just pooring in from waves of fiery space phoenixes dying at my trigger fingers. The background fluidly changes from dead space to a flame cover landscape and im suddenly sent in to a vivid flashback completely recalling the agonizing hell that this world represented for me as a kid.... I Do Not look forward to this next area as the Finisher may meet his end..... taking down phoenixes, flaming hoppers & even the first Fire Dragon brings me no boost in confidence, I grip the NES Advantage as I did oh so many times as a child and have to wait only a moment before it begins.... The Flame Waves !!! I accidentally dodge the first from below and then the second from above by pure luck. While taking out some attackers I narrowly avoid the third rolling wave of flames and start to wonder if the game isn't playing me.... All these years later and I still don't know if they timed, triggered or.....sentient..... the loneliness of space has begun to get to me as I zone out at the screen and wonder how long it will be before I die a horrible death engulfed in flames or possibly worse, taken by the...... SPACE MADNESS !!! The Flames now each roll three times before the scrolling leaves them safely behind but then the next is always ready and quickly upon the Vipers nose. After making it past several more it seems to have subsided and I can't believe the Vic and I made it unscathed..... zoning out in my thoughts and while somehow focusing on the waves of enimies in fnt of me I start to wonder if its all a trap.... Ive never made it through the flame waves....never.... The game is out to get me......... Space Madness has most definitely set in. Having compeletly lost IT and playing purely on reflexes the Vic and I dodge a couple more rolling waves of flaming death & take out two more fiery space dragons TAKE THAT ! YEAH YEAH !!COME GET SOME !!YOU THINK YOU BAD.... COME ON !! The screen slowly ushers the ship and my co-pilot insanity on to what I can only expect is ......pause......the 3rd BOSS !<br />

STAGE 3 BOSS<br />
YUP! The Mother of all Space Dragons appears from the right side of the screen and insanity slowly creeps outta the room like the coward it is and focus washes over me removing any remnants of madness. Skill & confidence defeat this mother quickly and painlessly thanks to my power ups and lil option friends. NO FEAR!!<br />

<br />
STAGE 4<br />
Vert scrolling returns yet again and par for course I am handed many capsules for any weapon customization I might desire for me vessel. The scenery starts off looking like just another canyon area with cracks in the ground when suddenly the landscape textures change drastically to organic and the walls look like miles and miles of intestine. Large pulsating orb sacks fly at the Vipers path but are greeted with lasers & destruction insuring me that insanity is truly gone and only the Finisher remains. The scrolling suddenly speeds up significantly making this a Dodge or Die Run. Paths continue to appear before me and I do my best not to scratch the clear coat on the Viper. Its after some close calls and a few lives later that the scrolling slows down as Im now required to blast non-letahl meat trees outta my way. After some time the floor goes veiny again while a huge mechanical spine appears below my ship and it attacks with many projectiles. I surf the spine shooting and strafing until I reach the top where a giant bio-mechanical skull awaits....<br />

STAGE 4 BOSS<br />
The Bio Mech skull is both impressive and threatening looking but is much like the other Bosses thus far and only requires some competent maneuvering to avoid. I concentrate my fire at its gaping jaw and while its eyes fly free and are quite dangerous he still seems to be no match for my fully armed craft of destruction towing 2 option spheres of fire power.<br />
I defeat Boss 4 and pause briefly to wonder if I had only built up the terror of LifeForce all these years or if the true challenges are only just ahead.......<br />

STAGE 5<br />
The stage fires up and we are whisked back to a space themed stage and now the waves of ships that dispense the weapon capsules are only 3 ships deep so I can load up on weapons much quicker so I can die faster so I can do more capsules so I can get more weapons so I can die faster... sorry sorry Its a 80's drug abuse PSA reference , I got caught up I apologize. Any way despite the fact that I'm still waiting for the other Fu*k You shoe to drop the stage is progressing quite smoothly. I might beat this game yet.... The Boss shows up and is kinda straight forward but who knows what pattern could unfold. This Boss is made up of three ships and when I successfully shoot its on coming projectiles it nets me capsules... wait, I punch you in the face and you reward me?.... shame on me ... its a Gah Damn Sub Boss... stupid stupid. He drops like a ton O' bricks and we fly on into a Egyptian pyramid... in space? The lay out in here is very similar to the first Stage except it keeps throwing weapon power ups my way, wait did someone back over my puppy ? is grandma dead? do I have ass cancer? Just before the end of the stage I die but manage to return back on screen in time to retain my 2 option spheres which is great news as here comes Tutanhamanattack.... no lie thats its name.<br />

Stage 5 BOSS<br />
The giant egyptian pharaohs face breaks free of its mount on the wall and eight golden orbs spin round it. The orbs fire a steady stream of shots which I must avoid while aiming at its eyes. The massive head bobs up and down untill it pulls the ultimate SHUMP Boss F-U of moving all the way on to the left side of the screen giving almost no way to attack, this is where countless shoot'em up novices bite the bullet in an effort to try and continue the offensive attack. I patiently wait my turn dodging Orb shots until I can safly traverse back over the top as it reclaims its old position an... Mutha FU*K !!! Im hit !!! I quickly scramble my new Vic onto the screen so I can attempt to scoop up my 2 options and manage with luck to do so. A few well placed hits later and I make em part of history once again. I gotta say the option power ups make a huge difference on this Boss.<br />

STAGE 6<br />
Last Stage... supposedly, but we all know how that goes. The Stage starts and I'm quickly sucked into the novice trap of trying to aim for every target on the screen in hopes of capsule rewards and my only reward is Death and I'm left respawning with NO option sphere lil buddies.... FU*K !! Next I am completely bombarded by Gah Damn Gobbstoppers! Fracking Willy Wonka himself wants me Dead, SOD OFF Willy !!! I waste a few more lives here and soon become very nervous as I'm now surrounded by the slowest moving enemies in gaming history which feels like a trap. The scenery changes again as mounted cannons spring to life targeting me and I die again and must avoid more of Willys sticky balls...what? Some weird Fireball looms towards me and before I can try and figure out what to do as weapons are useless against it I die AGAIN. Missiles take down the next cannons bring back confidence just as the imagery shifts yet again and brings along with it the Famous GRADIUS Easter Island Heads ! I do my worst to avoid the <b>Indestructible</b> hazards and pay the toll with many lives... respawning again I start to do better as the Heads fade away in the rearview with two of them come back and leaping ahead of me !??!? WTF!! Firing at them purely by instinct reveals that these two ass clowns can actuality take damage?!?! How would I suddenly know that ?!!?!? Relieved my breathing returns to normal pace but not for long as the view narrows and a annoying yet scary beeping is has brought on a deep foreboding which now is all I can focus on. As the screen slowly stops its scroll I am staring the FINAL BOSS right in the EYE .......<br />

To be more precise its his heart or so the manual would tell you, infact its the heart of some bastard calling him self Zelos..... yup just what I was thinking.... Hipster. The fight commences and a Long fu*ker of a dragon or perhaps "Salamander" if you will circles Zelos's heart while firing large blue spheres that I must dodge. I must mention the Heart is INVINCIBLE until you kill the Salamander. The only vunerable spot is the Salamanders head which is quite tough to get many hits landed since I currently am quite poor in the upgrade department. Two vipers later an the bastards down !!! The game starts to push me forward and I suddenly realize I must quickly fire upon the heart or be devoured by it !! YESSS I grunt through my clenched teeth triumphantly and as the Heart explodes and my tired shoulders drop I breath a sigh of relief @ 1130pm on a Tuesday.....<br />
I continue to watch the screen as my awesomely sleek Vic Viper moves slowly on the screen. Instinctively I place my hands back on the Ol' NES Advantage like a war veteran reluctantly seeking the comfort in the grip of his rifle. Just as I notice that I still have FULL control of the ship the screen accelerates the scroll faster than ever before and my ears alert me to the fact that the music still has not changed from the regular stage track..... OH GOD FU*K NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! before I can begin thinking the evilest of thoughts about KONAMI programers dying much deserved horrible deaths in the deepest pits of hell I'm forced to react and pilot the Vic Viper through what seems like some sort of extreme security shutdown. Doors upon endless doors suddenly materialize right be for me at the last second as I'm attempting to navigate through them. With no warning the opening in the doors starts to cascade darting left , right and back again. With the speeds increasing I don't have to try hard before I lose another life and then I flash a thought of if I can make it through this and how many lives do I have left ? I fear to dart my eyes down and look... Just then Im treated to a exterior view of a green planet and after a moment my beautiful Vic Viper comes blasting free from its orbit just as the entire rock explodes...... THANK FU*KING GOD !!!!!!!! The KONAMI logo pops on screen and I lean way back in my squeaking chair & smile.... After a few seconds of "End Music" I realize the credits have not started rolling and Im still staring at the same KONAMI logo..... Quoting Ol' Ben Kenobi "I got a Bad feeling about this" and I quickly reach for the iPhone and you can witness my response to what happened next yourself in the very short video below......<br />

In yet again Ghost & Goblin vein it starts you off back at the first Stage again for a Harder Mode play through.... I had some lives left so I decided to play for a bit and saw some changes in the game play for instance the First Boss now fires projectiles. I played on a bit further and stopped myself at a High Score of 95880.... I don't know if its good or even worth mentioning But why not see how well you do at it? When I stopped I did have more continues but..... seriously could you blame me?<br />

Life Force is a great game with fantastic visuals and gameplay. It's available on the Wii Virtual store for only 500 points thats 5 bucks. For the price with the use of the Contra code intact so why not give it a spin. Life Force has a very rich History and feel free to learn all about it in <a href="http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/gradius/gradius.htm" target="_blank">Hardcore Gaming 101's</a> History of the Gradius Series article. If anyone thinks they know the origin of the 2nd Ships name in the game then email it to me at Finalboss1337@gmail.com a winner will be selected for a prize at random.<br />

<br />
Before finishing the editing on the War Journal entry tonight I decided I would take a quick jump in to Video Games New York for air and record the whole trip.... that didnt work out too well... so I wont show you what I filmed until I can get it right. But when I got to VGNY I was surprised to see my Boys the Dynamic Duo back together again Jay and Shane !! Man I was sooo happy to see two of my favorite people back together again, they never seem to work on the same nights any more. The trip started off great with a amazing parking spot (hey its manhattan thats something worth mentioning), a 13 minute drive time (also amazing) and seeing the boys reunited but then it took a weird turn from here on both good and bad.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bad Parts - I completely forgot to film anymore of the trip due to the fact that I had to leave very abruptly to see to a problem that arose at home. To make matters worse I found that I didn't have my license on me for the first time ever and was worried due to the extremely strange fact that there were 50 plus police cars in the Cooper Square & the Broadway St marks vicinity for some unknown reason.<br />
<br />
But before I left I managed a very rushed look around and picked up some kool pieces none the less.<br />

Both of the Dreamcast games are Japanese versions which is fine since I have burned a swap disc program for the Dreamcast so I can play imports or what have you. It looked to me like VGNY's owner must have bought a huge case of Japanese games which benefitted me just fine, although still priced a lil high but the are sealed new so lets check 'em out. The first one is Godzilla Generations a title I have always wanted to play but could never quite get ahold of. Man I love me Some Godzilla incase you folks didn't know. And the second game is Bluesteel: Sable Griffin a game that looks like some mix up of an Anime adventure Visual Novel, and possibly a bit mature? I grabbed Blue steel since I had never heard of it and it was a import for 9 bucks brand new. The price reflects the language barrier not the quality I'm sure. I can't wait to see how far I can get in it, Playing totally unknown and unnavigate-able Japanese games is something I did a lot as a kid but not much since. The third title You see in the picture is the new Wii U title Wonderful 101 its a new game from Platinum games makers of Okami, and devil may cry , and oh I don't know ummm Bayonetta !!! The game has a very uniqe control scheme which shane warned me about before I committed to the purchase. And I'm glad he did because it really took me a second to get used to it even with the warning, the problem if there is one is that I don't feel the control Prompts are explained well, but that could be just me and my playing it really late at night. But I look forward to attacking it again this evening hopefully with some cafe in my mug.<br />

Now on to some BIG NEWS !!! BIG NEWS !!! BIG NEWS !!!<br />
While I was catching up with the Dynamic Duo Jay and Shane they let me in on their latest project..... A Totally FU*King Awesome Game Built for iOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
Let me just unbiasedly say this game is amazing !!! Im not even exaggerating ! I got to play the game in a Beta version last night and H#LY SH!T its not only fun as hell but the controls are with out a doubt the best I have ever experienced on the iOS platform. The minute I got past the Visuals which alone are very kool and and gorgeously crafted to look simplistic the controls grabbed my full attention the precise control and response is really amazing, the group they have on this game is a talented one indeed and I'm soo grateful I got to check it out last night. I wanted to play it again before left but like I said it was a short trip due to my own issues. Oh man I want to tell you all about it but I dont know how much Im allowed to reveal at this point but its coming soon and ill continue to update you on the status as in comes in. Also I was asked to possibly participate in a small way to the game so if that happens your sure to "hear" all about it. Good Luck to Jay and Shane and I'm sure they will do the gaming community "Justice" with this entry.<br />
<br />
Okay so on to the next BIG NEWS !!!<br />
<br />
Here is a video showing the results of some recent Cyber Game Hunting... andddd it involves the Big Reveal !!!!!!! Roll the video tape.......<br />

As you may have already guessed the Bi-weekly format is in place I have skipped this weeks article as to have more time on the game I'm playing and so I can fit it in to my ever changing family schedule.<br />
<br />
I felt a big emptiness and almost panic like feeling this weekend like I was ignoring something that had to be done something very important. I honestly believe it had to do with not publishing an article, it was an actual physical withdrawal. Strange that taking time off which was meant to calm me and not make me want to rush actually had the reverse effect.<br />
<br />
Im already starting to wonder if maybe the scheduling gaps should be taken only when needed and not regularly...<br />
<br />
The good news is besides having more time to sleep so I have energy to hang wit the lad I also got in some Cyber game hunting with my free time and some much needed research... yes yes even I the Final Boss a Uber-Nerd needs to read up on topics. I did also manage to follow up the Cyber Hunting with a on foot quick trip to a seldom visited spot that I need to hit up more often. The purchases I made this weekend will have a big impact on the blog. So stay tuned in the near future as The Final Boss is not only about to expand his collection......... BUT take it in a direction in which it has NEVER been........................<br />
<br />
Thanks for all the support and I will see you next week back here at the same Boss Channel... same Boss Time.........Johnny Pophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09169136277268254627noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019354561824969251.post-22499801934738465382013-09-29T09:44:00.002-07:002013-09-29T10:07:42.820-07:00GAME HUNTING EP- 5 : Tons O' Fun !Hey !! Welcome back to the Final Boss, glad to see you could make time to stop buy during your busy schedules and we appreciate the fact that you could be gaming right now.Oops ...wait nooo come back.... oh dammit .....<br />
<br />
For those of you still here lets talk about Game Hunting, theres nothing like it right? I mean goin out with the intention to purchase a game weather or not you know its available is a rush no matter what. You cant wait to get it home and put aside some time to sit down and enjoy the first play through. Many years I stood on the train platform staring with glazed eyes at game packaging waiting for the train to pull in and take me home swiftly. Recently when I got my Wii U I set out after work to buy New Super Mario Bros U and found it difficult to fight the urge to look at it while driving home... I waited till I was safely home but missed the subway in this case over driving.<br />
<br />
It has been a while since Jay and I got together to do some Game Hunting and it proved to be a good night, lets watch the video to what else has floated in to my grasp lately as well.<br />

<br />
The Zelda books I mention in the Video can be preordered at a bunch of Book and Gaming shops online but Amazon was giving a great discount a while back and I hope they still are for those of you that have interest in checking it out for a possible purchase.<br />
<br />
Im currently playing 4 games at once (Zelda-twilight princess, Zelda-A Link to the past on GBA, Shadrowrun Returns on steam, and a rotating famicom game for reveiwing ) and I'm thinking "again" of going to a 2 week schedule on releasing articles so that I have the time to dedicate to the games I write about and don't just completely rush through them or end up with no time to play something to write about. I really love the weekly format but life just doesn't seem to allow enough time for play throughs recently. I am going to see how this week pans out but I really think that from now on we will have to go to Bi- Weekly, I hope readership doesn't go down due to this possible change.<br />
<br />
Don't forget about the contest and send your answers to FinalBoss1337@gmail.com Subject: Contest and remember to list ALL the consoles you own in the email so I can send a appropriate prize. OH !!! And just thought I'd mention that Ill be at the NYC Comic Con wit Jay on Friday the 18th of October so if your around see yah there !!!<br />

This past thursday the gaming world lost the man that once saved it. On September 19th Hiroshi Yamauchi passed away at age 85. Yamauchi was 22 in 1949 when he reluctantly dropped out of university to take over as president of his grandfathers hanadfuda playing card company Nintendo. The staff at Nintendo resented the young CEO and worried about the security of the company in his inexperienced hands. In 1960 he struck big when he licensed a popular American company's characters for use on the new line of western market play cards he was breaking into, the company was Disney and the venture put Yamauchi and Nintendo in the black. Shorty after Nintendo went IPO and the company did see some loses on strange ventures but by the 70's Nintendo was back making a solid dent in the market with board games and was branching out to electronic games & Arcade games. Young assembly line engineer Gunpey Yokoi brought an idea to Yamauchi that steered Nintendo on to its current path and philosophy. The Game & Watch series was created very inexpensively and Nintendo was leading the way in handheld electronic gaming. By the early 1980's the western home computer video game market had ended in a "Crash" but Yamauchi was about to attempt something daring in Japan. The Nintendo Family Computer or Famicom was released in July 1983 and shipments sold out every week. Yamauchi had started a trending philosophy with the Gunpei's Game & Watch and the Famicom of not worrying about what the other companies were doing or saying but just executing things Nintendo's own way. This Philosophy has paid off for nintendo 99% of the time even though the competition and press have tried to say differently over the years. Nintendo still follows Yamauchi's example and continues the work of this "True Visionary" a title that is not easily laid upon a person.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yamauchi has given us the genius work of Gunpei Yokoi - Game& Watch, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Gameboy, the Cross shaped Directional pad. The former President also put Gunpei in charge of a top priority game Donkey Kong where he was given the chance to teach a young Shigeru Miyamoto about game programing/creating. Miyamoto's talents were brought before Yamauchi and were allowed to thrive and bringing us- Super Mario Bros series, Zelda, Star Fox, Pikmin, Metroid Prime trilogy, the 3D control engineering on Mario 64 that serves as the basis for all 3D environment games and what many consider to be "the greatest game of all time" <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time" target="_blank">The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2002 Yamauchi stepped down as President and sat on the Board of Directors till 2005 when completely retired and watched Nintendo continue his lead of excellence and innovation that has severed them since he took over 60 years ago.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Go out and honor this great mans accomplishments and gifts by not just playing a video game today but by supporting the company that made it possible to still play games. </div>
<div>

You will be remembered.</div>

<div>
If you're not familiar with the Title or its series lemme give yah a little background. Taito unleashed Chase H.Q. on to the Arcades in 1988, its direct competitor was another 3rd person view racer SEGA's OutRun. Chase H.Q. breaks apart from other driving games of the time by including a Law Enforcement plot that is as follows... You play as Police Officer Tony Gibson a member of Special Chase Investigation Department. Along with your partner Raymond Broady you must pursue fleeing criminals that take the cops on high speed chases. The game truly separates it self from the racing game competition by having you ram the criminals off the road once you "race" to catch them. The game did quite well in the arcades and gave way to three Arcade sequels: Special Criminal Investigation ( you can hang out window and shoot the enemy), Super Chase Criminal Termination ( change vehicles and FPS view) and Chase H.Q. 2 released in 2007. A spin off Arcade game that follows Tony and Raymond in a side scrolling beat'em up style called Crime City also did well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I was younger I was a big fan of Chase H.Q. I loved the action game style of the racer and it was out during the buddy cop film push of the 80's. I played it quite a bit on my Turbo Grafx 16 but years later would replay it on my MAME Arcade Cabinet at home . Until now I ad never been aware of its existence on the Famicom or the RARE bootleg on the NES. It should be mentioned it was ported to many home Computers in the 80's as well as the Master System, Genesis and SNES not to mention the Game Boy and Game Boy Color anddd the SEGA Saturn (arcade perfect) anddddd you can currently grab it cheap off the Wii Virtual Console in the form of the Turbo Grafx-16 port which is the BEST "port" version by far. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The gameplay lays out as so... At the start of each level you are informed of who you will be chasing by Nancy the HQ dispatcher. Nancy's a series staple and her voice can be heard even in the Famicom version to my surprise check out the video clip below. The stages start with the criminal already a great distance away obviously or why else would they need YOU. The player must catch up to the criminal within the time limit and avoid the hazards of the road while doing so as the criminal is always pulling further away cause honestly why would he just wait for you. During the Chase the road will split and you must choose the random route which will save on your travel time greatly. Players can choose to use the 3 given Turbo boosts during the chase or save em for the action sequence. You receive an additional 60 seconds once you catch up to the perp which must be used to ram him and disable his<br />
vehicle.<br />

Here we go...</div>
<div>
I Fire up the game in the Famiclone so I can use the Nes Advantage not for any turbo usage but so I can play it in a familiar way since I when I played the Turbo Grafx-16 version I always had the TG16 Turbo stick which looked and felt exactly like the Advantage. Letting the game sit on the start screen for a minute im treated to a sneak peak of the games graphics which are good for the Fami but no comparsion to the TG16, after a little demo Im informed through police documentation of the situation at Chase HQ and surprisingly in English ?!? The Tiltle reappears and I press start as prompted and stare at impressive shot of Tony and Raymond jumping in to the Chase vehicle . Next Nancy cuts in to my surprise in full audio and show me on the Taito Monitoring System which Car to be on the look out for, it appears to be a white Lotus. What I can only assume is mine or Raymond's voice then screams in excitment to move us to a menu screen where I can pick Manual or Auto.. Auto, Steering Quick or Normal ... Normal, and an option to use the controller that came with Arkaniod.... SHIT!! I just let one go a month ago on Ebay for 8 bucks .... %^^$^%T&*^*&^%$%###!!!!! I had no clue this was an option, Oh well guess what ill be hunting for next. The game kicks off just like any other version with me peeling out on the road headed for the horizon and I must say the graphics are not bad at all for a Fami/Nes game I would have tried this as a kid if I had know about the port. The music is pretty good and... wait.... theres this high pitched sound as if a alarm is going off or like a piece of motorized equipment is running high... Wow that's annoying sound hope I catch up to the criminal soon lemme just jot this part down in my NEW War Journal ..... What !??!? I can't pause ? Really ? Like if I had to pee or if a kids mom came in to demand finished home work or to come to the dinner table you would have to just shut it off ,,!?!?!? Wait soooo now I can't Journal the game as it happens ? Fine, whatever if I remember correctly its a 6 stage game anyway which suits me just fine as I'm exhausted from my lack of sleep as sub boss has a fever. Alright enough mental chatting its back to logging game play in the ol grey matter. I go in to the tunnel where the road split occurs and almost have a seizure do to the game flashing two totally separate screens over each other at me in rapid sucestion. Jezzz it's worse the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6gFz7NMcSE" target="_blank">Kinnikuman </a>since I cant pause. My first 60 seconds are almost up and I'm blinded & nowhere near the perp so I fire up 2 turbos back to back and just make it. As my new 60 ticks down I fire the turbo and get 4 good shots in on the bastard and finish him off with 24 seconds to spare. A little more challengeing then I remember the other versions but ill adjust. The stage ends with the familar scene of me cuffing him and my partner Raymond pointing his gun at the scum bags head with our slick black Porsche esque car in the backdrop.<br />

Stage 2<br />
Nancy cuts in on my thoughts to tell me that the next loser is driving a yellow Lamborghini Countach the manly scream sends me off to the parts screen... Parts Screen!?!? WTF!??! This is something I honestly don't remember in any version I ever played of Chase H.Q. But its welcomed seeing as how bad I sucked at that last stage. So the Transmission and steering options I selected from last time are here and accompanied by the choice to spend some earned points on Oil, Turbo, Super Charger , Tires or Bumper upgrades. I choose to save the credits and push on. Rubber burns on asphalt and I'm off and determined to do better this time around. Avoiding the other cars is tough until I remember playing Final Lap Twin on the TG16 and how I learned never to use brake in racing games only tap the accelerator quickly to avoid or in turns, a lesson which served me well my whole life even in RC racing and the real world. The Flashback that was likely brought on by the Advantage and Turbo stick's similarity is serving me well especially when avoiding the oil drums , garbage cans, oh and don't forget the bushes that are all in the middle of the highway ...... not kidding.... also new to me in this version. I manage to catch up to the Lamborghini and suddenly realize Im in low gear ..... I must have switched it back to Manual on the very first screen and thats why Im lacking speed and that high pitch sound is killing me .........sonovab*tch Im a Ass !! Now Im in High Gear and about to destroy this hunk of yellow plastic. Raymond covers me as I throw the punks gun aside before slapping the steel tennis bracelets on him.<br />

Stage 3<br />
Now its a whole new game !!! After Nancy fills us in on the grey Porsche 911 that we need to hunt down I hit the parts screen with a wide grin... Yup I did have the Transmission set to Manual I send it over to Auto and switch the steering to quick in hopes it will be looser like in Final Lap Twin... man I miss that game. I purchase a Bumper Upgrade hoping to see a difference all around in this next stage.<br />
The Tires screech as I blast off down the road gleeful as I hear the car shift in to High gear this time in Auto and my enjoyment increases as my steering has greatly in proved as I had hoped. Speeding down the road I watch as the distance meter drops quickly while I out maneuver the obstacles thrown in my path. Raymond and I descend on the Porsche with all 4 Turbos still in hand, I grin once again as I reach for the select button with my ring finger. The car blasts off towards my target and the fenders on the grey 911 fly off due to the speed of the hit and the re-enforced bumper Im now armed with. Just then I notice the damage gauge at the bottom of the screen and take note on how quickly car was incapacitated thanks to the bumper upgrade.<br />

Being only one stage away from the end of the game and feeling quite cocky now that I have over come my stupidity of not selecting the proper Transmission type I spend some hard earned points on not only a turbo and bumper but try out the tires as well.... what the hell right? Kicking in to high gear I fire off a turbo to speed up the conclusion of the game and race towards the fleeing criminal but Im having some over steering issues with the new tire upgrade and my driving style... they don't mix, so I make a mental note not to buy this again. I catch up to the blue Ferrari 288 GTO and my sirens kick in letting him know that his time is up and just incase he's deaf I punch the turbo so he knows were here. A few smacks later and Im hoisting him outta the car while Raymond enjoys the show.<br />

Stage 5<br />
The Final Boss !!<br />
Nancy shows us a car covered in darkness and if I remember correctly from my childhood it should be a red porsche the reason its not shown to us here is its a spy's car and his vehicle is unknown at time of dispatch, guess I was wrong earlier though when I said the game has 6 stages oh well. Since its the last mission I throw on the usual Turbo and Bumper upgrade but swap the Tires for the Oil upgrade this time. And away we go. Im off to a good start but have a few scrapes with some of the other cars on the road but the Bumper upgrade helps here as well cause I don't feel like I'm losing as much speed when we collide and they seem to bounce away from me. After the tunnel which this time around makes me guess which is the shorter path I come up on the Porsche 928 but to my surprise he's blue guess my memory isn't that sharp after all. A few bangs with the Turbo and Bumper and he's toast, Raymond's got nuthin to worry about with this guy, he's in the bag. The next screen takes us to the familiar Taito Monitoring System and Nancys voice kicks in again this time I can only assume to congratulate us on a job well done..... Nope ! Theres another black shadowy car that pops up after her dialogue. Okay so I was right its 6 Stages the famicom version just has 2 shadow cars thats kool lets finish this...<br />

Stage 6<br />
The Real Final Boss !!!<br />
After Selecting Turbo and Bumper Upgrades I anxiously pound the Start and A buttons so I can hit the asphalt one more time and demolish the punk that tricked me in to thinking this was over .... After avoiding a few more cars than the previous stages I can see this is the Final Boss stage.... catching up to the car with only 2 seconds to spare the arrow displayed over it reveals him to be driving a yellow Ferrari best I can tell. Even with the Turbos and Bumper he's tough as he pulls away a good distance off screen a few times after we connect but in the end I take'em down. The Capture screen shows Raymond jabbing a gun in his back as I check a briefcase we confiscated from him, ahhhh clearly this is the Spy driver thats the Final Boss I was remembering. Nancy's sweet voice comes on screen to congratulate us on a job well done and probably to offer to take me to dinner and ...........WHAT THE UNHOLY HELL IS GOING ON !!!!! NO NO NO NOT A-EFFING-GAIN !!! Is this a sick joke ?? every time I play something lately it has no end ... What the hell another shadowy car ?!??!?! Im exhausted I wanna sleep I don't get paid for this sh*t !!! Fine......<br />

Stage who gives a damn......<br />
Sooo to cut down on length... too late yah yah very funny, this is like Ghost and Goblins its yet another game that changes little or nothing but color palate and makes you play it multiple times. Yah sucks fo' me! I stayed up to play the fracking thing as I didn't want to attempt this AGAIN later in life. The game has you play through 3 times & nuthin really changes to speak of except I have more points to buy the Super Charger which helps. The game does get harder or I get more tired but probably a lil of both. The Final Boss at Round 3 Stage 7 is the same as Round 1 its the P.O.W. guy driving a red Porsche But...... This game is a gentleman and does offer up some kind of ending which I have shots of below. All in all I still love Chase H.Q. and have fond memories of the games.... maybe not this one...Nah it was fun it took me 3 in game continues and 58 Mins but I beat it, and if you have to use the bathroom or need a drink do it during the upgrade screen. And lets not forget I had to jot down any notes during the option screen which I got so sick of that I keep it all in me brain and 2 post it notes. Well till next time keep playing those classics and try this one out on the Wii store or just emulate.... later !!<br />

.... So that was a quick awesome little fix and something I hope you all will attempt . I mean why should the retro re-sellers get the advantage of buying low and selling high on eBay. Just think how great it would be to give a GBA SP to someone after you fix it, its got a personal touch. So go out and reclaim the hardware for the users ! Anyway ..... I also wanted to show you the differences between the sweet CloneSP and a Real SP. Both are a great purchase. I really loved my first SP and played it all the time while commuting on the Q to Coney Island for years before switching to the DSi, and truthfully I always missed my little black SP even when enjoying the DSi. Also don't forget to grab a 4 dollar headphone adapter if you pick up a GBA SP, you can grab one on eBay or Video Games NYC or even Nintendo customer support.<br />
<br />
I really want to use this posting to catch up with you guys and gals on some stuff happening in our community like.....<br />
<br />
The 2DS/3DS controversy....<br />
So Reviewers, Competitors and Consumers alike are bashing the 2DS and why wouldn't they hell its fun to try and kick Nintendo in the junk everyones doing it ..right? Wrong. The critics are accusing The BIG N of showing weakness by selling a cheaper 2D version of the 3DS. people keep saying the 3DS is a failure of some kind but I don't see it. Clearly anyone saying this doesn't have a functioning brain and all the facts.<br />

<br />
A cheaper 3DS already exists its called a DS... dummy.<br />
The 3DS isn't losing to any competitor..... in fact I own a Vita and wish I got a 3DS.<br />
The 2DS isn't a Version of the 3DS or even a DS, try reading some press releases or just <b><u>look</u></b> at the pics.... dummies. I mean does it even look like its meant to be used by adults let alone criticized by them?<br />

The 2DS is a Child friendly gaming system its bulky Tonka like construction is meant to endure very young kids. its a introductory console that isn't fragile like its clam shell cousins. One look at the pictures and anyone can instantly figure out with no info that its meant to be thrown on the floor.<br />
Nintendo has developed a system that can take some bumps an scraps that offers fun at an affordable price for younger kids and has less high end functions not required by even older kids. I defiantly would feel safe handing one off to my little guy and love that the buttons and D pad are spaced for tiny hands. The console drops on the world OCT 12th with the newest installment in the Pokemon series. So go pick on some kids your own age MS, SONY, and internet critics....meh ! Also I cant wait to pay $800 bucks to play A game on your new systems launch day...... Oh? yes that was sarcasm.<br />

The Mighty No.9 !!!!! Whats that you say? Welllll its Keiji Inafune's new game that he needs <b><u>your</u></b> help with!!! Inafune is the creator of our favorite little blue pal MEGA MAN ! And he's launched a Kickstarter as of September 1st for his newest game Mighty No 9 and it is creating a HUGE BUZZ across the globe!!! For starters the game is Mega Man 'esque and amazing looking. Inafune is asking for funds to make certain goals possible like a Wii U version, right now its Mac and Linux only but the funds have more the tripled the original goal. Inafune is also offering some amazing gifts for your help so please check it out. This is a VERY BIG moment in game history, Japanese game developers are waiting on the edge of there seats to see if this is a success or not it could be the birth of a new way of creators releasing games in the Japanese market. CAPCOM was so afraid that they instantly threw a lawsuit at Keiji Inafune siting the likeness between Mega Man and No 9 ... they LOST !!! Lately CAPCOM has been criticized for MegaMan's treatment and Inafune's departure not long ago brought up questions of the Blue Bombers future from fans. At first I thought that CAPCOM was just throwing a suit out due to likeness but soon realized when I looked at Inafunes's COMCEPT staff that CAPCOM has reason to worry.... Its comprised of some of the greatest people to ever work on ALL the MegaMan series !!!! Not to mention Darkstalkers and Street Fighter Alpha !! If this game is a success CAPCOM and many other Japanese companies that have talent that have left are in trouble, Creators can own there own properties and get assistance from the community that Loves them !!!<br />

A certain game developer Jools Watsham also extended the arm for helping in a 3DS version with his team at Renegade Kid, thats love man !!! This is truly historical !!!!! Which is why besides all the exclamation points Im spending I am also throwing in $120 Dollars to the Kickstarter of Mighty No. 9 this is something I truly believe in and want to say I was apart of. This is like when Frank Miller self published Comics or Eastman & Laird did TMNT or even like when Tarantino and Rodriguez started there own film companies. So please follow this link and check it out and watch the short video all the way to the end and be ready to be excited by... <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9" target="_blank">Mighty No. 9</a>.<br />

Thanks to Dennis " the DUTCHMAN" for putting me on to the Mighty No.9<br />

WOW !! Right ? How easy was that I mean you can repair a OG Game Boy you already own or move on one of the many Game Boys on Ebay that say screen dead or bad pixels in the description. You can enjoy the fruit of your labor and share it with friends or choose to make a lil game collecting money. I wanna thank you all for your continued support and I hope this episode of the Repair Shop has helped you. Check out the shots below including the one of where the Gameboy finds its new home.<br />

I want to start off and <u><b>Thank All of You</b></u> once again for coming back each week and reading this Blog it means <b>ALOT</b> to me. As an "Artist " whom doesn't get a lot of time to do art shows any more due to family responsibilities it means <b>ALOT</b> to me to create something regularly and put it out there so people can view it, comment on it, enjoy it, hate it, and share it. So thank you I NEED YOU ALL.<div>
<br>
I also wanna say there almost was no article this week. I was going to put up an "Apology Message", I've had a really rough 2 weeks with stress and physical health and it all ended with a trip from work in an ambulance to the hospital yesterday. Im Fine now ! And happy to be here with all of you in the world of gaming. Not being up to writing or gaming I was gonna rain check this week and I had even talked to Gaming "Wing Man" Jay about maybe Hunting but he also had some of his own serious matters to handle so I wished him well and threw in the towel and called it a night. BUT !!! Just then an Artist buddy of mine "The Blue Man" replied to me that he was up for some solid Late Night Game Hunting and my weak and weary ass felt renewed !!!! As you may not know The Blue Man is a Pal of mine whom is not only a fellow Artist but fellow Fanboy and Retro Gaming Head I don't truly remember the Reason he calls him self the Blue Man ( I know he told me once, sorry). <b>BUT ! </b>I call him Blue Man for his Love and Amazing abilities at MEGAMAN !!! The BlueMan has beaten MegaMan 2 & 3 and X 1, 2 3, 4 & 5 !! And probably even more that I can't recall ! This makes him the "BlueMan" to me and a "FINISHER" !! And an even more little known fact is that he is my LUCKY RABBITS FOOT or RockMan's Foot !! Blue has been with me when I have found some of the most sought after or BIZARRE items, also he has been with me when deals fall in my lap, he truly is lucky in finding items for himself and sending it my way as well. And this trip with him proved no less lucky or amazing.....<br>

Well ? Yah that was a long video ! But it was a small look at a Little known attachment for the OG Game Boy. The Hyper Boy started as a purchase idea that I though would just be a camp novelty but once Jay came out the back with the mint sealed box I knew this was gonna be worth it. Worth it he is the Hyper Boy is not entirely a gimmick item for the old GB, its controls respond perfectly and the mini arcade design looks great and is ergonomic. Im so glad I made the purchase and its a great rare collectable to have thats useful. And how often is it you get to open a brand NEW product from over 20 years ago? I hope you liked this Episode of GH and those that guessed correctly feel some pride in their psychic abilities. And it should be mentioned that I made a TON of bad clips during this Episode sooo a Bloopers video is probably coming up soon of all the EF ups I've made each time I make a Video for the Blog. Check out the photos below before yah bounce and as I mentioned earlier thanks again for checking back with us at The Final Boss !!!<br>

What did I do while waiting for the machine to count all that change ? No worries I played the classic game Comic Zone on the portable SEGA GENESIS The BlueMan provided. Its a Totally Amazing system by ATGAMES licensed officially by SEGA and comes preloaded with like 40 games I believe, including Street Fighter II CE. The system also has a SD Card slot so you can add and ROMS of GENESIS games you might legally own. ATGAMES makes a bunch of crazy SEGA products some ill be showing you soon.<br>

<br /></div>
This weeks play-through was meant to be short and easy.... but we both know thats not the 8 bit way.<br />
One of the first Famicom games I bought when I started collecting was Kinnikuman- Massuru Taggu Matchi. Like many of the first Fami games I bought it was based off a Manga/Anime, and Kinnikuman was quite the popular property in Japan. The Manga (comic) started in 1979 and is technically still running, an Anime show ran from 1983 to 86 with 137 episodes and when the first toys were released they helped boost a whole new toy genre ... Keshi (rubber little eraser figures). But lets slow down theres sooooo much that could be said about Kinnikuman and still not scratch the surface so lets just keep it very simple.<br />

Kinnikuman means Muscle Man and thats the title character in this series about hero whom is a rip off of Ultraman, but he's so lame no one calls him for help unless every hero is outta town. The series changed direction later and the Kinnkuman got better at his job and the support characters cast grew to outrageous numbers and were shown wrestling their battles out and the characters were based off both monsters and "real" wrestlers. The Figures made the jump across the ocean to N. America where it was renamed horribly as M.U.S.C.L.E = Millions of Unusual Creatures Lurking Everywhere ....Yeah lame.<br />
The little pink flesh colored figures were not erasers in the U.S. but did come in 4 packs, little garbage cans of 10 and a big 28 piece starter set. I bought myself a garbage can and later the 28 box, the japanese had 400 figures to collect N.America had only 236 I amassed a whopping 40 maybe 45 (I'd find them in the street and parking lots). This game was also released here but thats it, no TV show no comics and no explanation of origin except a short paragraph on the back of the 28 pc box. As a kid I would look at the Ultraman inspired figures and Godzilla styled creatures and even the humanoid wrestlers and just knew they were familiar or even part of some thing more... but my friend Brian would tell me I was dumb and try to win (take) my figures from me, ahh kids what do they know. For more info on the figures click these links <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinnikuman#Muscle_Returns" target="_blank">wiki</a> and this great long running <a href="http://nathansmuscleblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Blogspot</a> by Nathan.<br />

I didn't own the M.U.S.C.L.E. Tag Team game as a kid and only played it at a friend's so I was excited to try and beat it now not even knowing if that was possible.... well lets find out.<br />

Soon as you power up the old Family Computer you are greeted with the sweet sounds of a full on 8-bit song not some crappy jingle, this game is gonna be awesome. The next screen takes a step backwards or even several, the character select screen features all 8 playable characters in full greyscale graphics... wait seriously greyscale what is this intellivision where did the color go ? Even when I was a kid I thought that was weird. After picking my custom tag team made up of Kinnikuman and TerryMan I am sent into the ring against RamenMan and Robin Mask. The game play is incredibly simplistic just like the sub par graphics, the B button is to jump and the A button is to Punch. Combinations of both buttons make up the short set of moves such as, shove, shove to ropes, drop kick, flying body attack, lariat (clothes line) and suplex. The A button will also engage the characters "finishing move" when he has received the "Power Ball" which is thrown across the ring by Meat a short child sized sidekick of Kinnikuman. The match starts and right off the bat I get the Power Ball three times in a row but cant seem to land a single move let alone some special move and right before time runs out I lose the first round to RamenMan... yup I said first round, a Wrestling game about a Manga/Anime about Wrestling has Two Rounds to each match in a best of Three style (scratching head). In the second round I manage to Tag in TerryMan and lands some hits as well as a "Finisher" which doesn't "Finish" anyone unless their life gauge is low enough to be "Finished" by any move, sooo not really a "Finisher" then. Any way in the third round I flying kick (B+A) RamenFace 2x and deliver two "not so Finishers" to wrap up my first victory and head on to the next match.<br />

MATCH 2<br />
Now we face off against BuffaloMan (in U.S. Terri-Bull get it ) and WarsMan a Huge Fan Fav and my friend Take's childhood one as well. I soon realize the light blue ring mat is actually dangerous slippery ice but still manage to end the first round swiftly in 7 seconds with some Power Ball assist, I should also mention the Power up restores some health gauge as well. Felling cocky after the fast round makes me nervous to what may come in the second. It kicks off with me foolishly chasing WarsMan around as he continuously bounces off the ropes and flying body attacks me until he knocks me back in to deja vu land where I recall a friend of mine Brian repeatedly doing this to me while playing this game at his house when we were kids it sucked then and it STOPS NOW !!! I turn to grab Meat's Power Ball (gross) and level WarsMan with two devastating Kinniku Busters !!! Round two ends and the game contiunes to show me this screen with my score which I care not about, I mean this game has an ending right ? or is it a High Score game?<br />

MATCH 3<br />
The 3rd match starts and I ignore the two faced four armed man in the opposite corner as my eyes go into Pokemon shock due to the flashing gold ring and ropes. I pause the game to jot this bit down and give my peepers a rest and am surprised to find no retreat is possible from the dangers of epileptic seizure, the ring continues to flash even when paused (watch video below). I lose the first round to Ashuraman's many groping hands and my lack of knowing that the ring was electrified. I manage to come back and win the second round creating the crucial tension needed for a tie breaker in what I assume is the last Match since there are no other characters left to play. In the 3rd round Brocken Jr. jumps in to take a shot at me it should be mentioned Brocken Jr was swapped out in the N.American version due to his slight resemblance of a German SS officer, Oh and his Finisher the "Nazi Gas Attack"... YUP not kidding check it out yourself. The 3rd round starts and I quickly learn another good reason for Brocken's banishment from the N.American version His Nazi Gas Attack is a Fu*king projectile that he fires at you and can hit you with the next one as soon as you recover this coupled with the electric fence of epilepsy I'm pinned against completty takes me by surprise and costs me the Match...WHAT!?!?!? Thats right <b>GAME OVER</b> screen with no ray of light CONTINUE option or REMATCH to select... GAH DAMN IT !!!FU*CKING NAZIS!!! Thats it the kid gloves are off, ITS GO TIME BITCHES !!!!<br />

REMATCH 2<br />
In the second re-match I utilize the "Brian Technique" to destroy Buffaloman in his own corner as Warsman watches on like a lil' bitch I completely block any chance of a tag. Warsman is reduced to a helpless b!tch as he watches on angrily through his helmet. In the second round Buffaloman teaches Kinnikuman and myself the unwanted lesson of humility as he makes us "his" b!tch with one Power Ball and painfully shows us his Finisher the "Hurricane Mixer" that reaches half way across the screen when he lunges at you with his horns. He runs this move till my death. Not wanting to start over "again" I switch to TerryMan knowing his special move to be similar but just then Warsman steps in not ready to let go of all that b!tch calling from earlier. Luckily more "Brian Technique" on Ice combine with the "Flying Bulldog" Finisher takes the B!TCH Warsman Down !! Yeah B!tch !! sorry.<br />

REMATCH 3<br />
Back to the third match again this time the round starts with TerryMan in the ring, I decide to leave him in knowing full well that the Flying Bulldog is weaker than the Kinniku Buster but the Bulldog is easier to land on an opponent . Quickly I remind my self not to use any more Brian Techinque due to the electrical hazard of lunching of the ropes. I begin aggressively pursuing Ashura and he the likewise, we both look like dummies in no time landing on our asses missing drop kick after drop kick. Ashuraman lands on his ass closer to the Power up and retrieves it then making a B-line straight for me, Terry is helpless to fend him off as I scream to the closing of the first round. Round two kicks off and I visiously attack Ashuraman but just be fore I can defeat him he scurries off to tag out I race after him and run right into a Power Ball YES!!! When Brocken jumps in I fiendishly grin wide as I wail on him with repeated blows of my A&B button mashing Bulldog Finisher and the round ends as the Match is now tied like before. Round three starts and Terry and I hold our own against the Nazi bastard Brocken... until he gets 2 power ups back to back and trashes Terry in seconds. AAGGRRHHHH!!!!<br />

Face Off in the Third Match<br />
TerryMan vs Stupid Nazi Piece O' Sh*t.....<br />
Round one begins and I somehow drop kick Brocken in the face as the Power Ball leaves Meats lil hands allowing me to pursue it alone, I return supped up and Finish my opponent with a quick Flying Bulldog ! Round 2 starts up and I manage to keep Brocken focused mid screen as I want to keep a fair distance to the launch of any Power Balls released up or down mat. The stratigeys quickly pays of I nab the Power Up and completely decimate the Nazi P.O.S Brocken Jr I joyfully raise my arms as I drop the controller in my lap awaiting my hard earned ending or perhaps the reveal of a mystery opponent !?!?....................................<b>ROUND 4 !!!</b><br />

<br />
MATCH 13<br />
Electric Ring vs RamenMan and Brocken P.O.S. Jr<br />
In the first round some glitch happened where I could not be removed from the electric ropes I assume this is a glitch and not how the game evolves to be harder. In the second round I had equally no shot of winning when Brocken Jr camped out on top of me repeatedly hitting me with the Nazi Gas Attack and bouncing me off the electrified ropes till I died reluctantly happy.<br />

Well all things must come to an end and I was getting tired of the endless line of repeat matches plus I had a list of things to do before Sub Boss woke from his nap. I looked online and don't seem to find anyone that says there is an ending nor did I see any "LongPlay" videos of the game that went near 13 matches most people seem to give up or lose at around Match 8. I actually had a lot of fun playing through this game since the M.US.C.L.E. toys and game were a fun part of my childhood. If you remember these toys then go look at <a href="http://nathansmuscleblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nathan's blog</a> or some of the other Kinnikuman/Muscle sites to find some pics on ones you had as a kid or just to read more about an obscure property that could have been much bigger in N.America. I have recently picked up the sequel to this game which was released on Famicom Disk only. Quite a few more games were made after these most having to do with the revival series of Kinnikuman known in the U.S. as Ultimate Muscle which had a brief life here with only some of the cartoon airing on Fox. The PS2, Game Boy Advance and SNES games were Japan only and look great but the GameCube games were released here and are fun. I enjoyed them when they where first released, the cel shaded graphics did the show justice and the moves looked powerful in their execution the cast was a combination of the original characters and the second generation made up of their kids and old nemesis.<br />
