Wow - again with the homebrew.  You are raveling in RetroZone!

Oh yeah, &...

Battle Kid may have been a platformer released on cartridge - but Neotoxin wins in my book as the homebrew that vamped homebrews.

Man, I never did finish Battle Kid.  I got to the stages with the stupid frogs and game's frustration finally got the best of me.

I want someone to make a homebrew Click N Play Adventure game for NES. I have wanted a new one for years, to bad I don't know the first thing about game programming...

I played Battle Kid when Justin(Penguin from NA) came to visit....what a hard game!! But all it takes is practice!

The programming is probably the easiest part of making a point-and-click adventure.  Coming up with a good story, good dialogue, and good puzzles is the hard part.

The review train continues!

So, guess who just learned that you did videos and reviews?

YEARS after you started doing them?

...

Yeah.  I'm gonna have to do something with that knowledge...

[satoshi_matrix]

Hey Sean, nice to hear from you. What did you have in mind?

[Yukima]

Nice review for Famicom Detective Club Part 2 - looks like a very interesting game, and I like the artwork!  I might check it out soon, especially since you mentioned it works on the SNES PowerPak!

[MicroGenuis]

Can I help later?

After a bit of a wait, here's my next review, Air Fortress again for the NES.

Enjoy!

Cool review, although the "audio" section seems to need some editing

Air Fortress is a gem of a game.  One of those cases where I paid like $2 for a random NES game that I didn't own yet and it ended up being pretty great.  The way the game goes dark and the music cuts out after you destroy the cores is great.  Very few NES games were able to convey a sense of atmosphere like that.

[satoshi_matrix]

Ah for some reason I uploaded my draft rather than the final revision. Should be correct now.

[satoshi_matrix]

Ho ho ho Famicom World boys and girls.

Time for another review, this time for Retrozone's RetroPort controller adapters for using NES/SNES controllers on your Wii. Are they worth picking up? you bet they are!

Thanks for the support as always.

Hm hm, I'm not really sure yet!  Still percolating.  Need to read/watch through everything first!
