I've been doing a series on my site where I play through every NES game in alphabetical order and write mini-reviews of them. Here's what I have so far: 10 Yard Fight194219433D World RunnerThat's going to be over 700 games by the time I'm done. Wish me luck. |

Nice one  Keep posting these, I always enjoy a good NES-review! Those bleeps and beeps always bring back memories of a christmas smelling of styrofoam because of all the NES-games... |

This is a cool idea and I like your writing. The only problem is that at your current pace this project is going to take 13+ years!

Thanks. I know it's going to take for-fricking-ever, but ah well. By the time my kid is in high school, I'll be finished.  |

From where you're at, I don't think I have any fond memories of anything between here and Baseball Simulator 1.000, which is one of my favorite games of all time.

I loved Baseball Simulator! Man, it's been a while since I played that. I guess I'll be able to... in about a year.  |

Perhaps you should change your goal into reviewing a selection of NES-games? A couple of games for every letter in the alphabet will keep you busy as well |

Nah, it's more fun going one-by-one through the alphabet. No one else is doing this, whereas everyone and their mother does retro reviews.

Have you considered tweaking it a bit to turn it into a Child's Play fundraiser?

A Boy and His BlobAnd I'd rather get this off the ground first, THEN worry about any fundraising opportunities. Heck, I'm only two months into this!

Technically you're not in alphabetical order any more. But keep going, Lee. I hope you make it!

Ah, it should have been "Boy and His Blob, A". Ah well. That's how my Excel spreadsheet sorted them out.

Nice, I saw the link and queued up the Angry Nerd episode ready to link you, but you beat me to it. Pretty amazingly bad stuff.

Weird. I thought this was an overhead shooter using the Blaster Master engine (or by the same company). What am I thinking of?

I'm glad Ars let you change your post. They can be kinda sticklers about directing traffic sometimes.
Aside from the occasional chucklehead, as with most places, it's a decent community overall.

Yeah, I was a little concerned about that too. I don't like getting off on the wrong foot with people. My antagonizing days are done. |

Sounds very different from the PC version I played. I enjoyed the PC version quite a bit for the time. Come to think of it, I'd still enjoy playing a new dragon flight simulator. |

i read through the reviews, and then i remember that i rented most of those games as a kid. what a horrible waste of money. Especially Action 52. should've had a class action suit against that company for creating that.

I remember being horribly disappointed with the Heroes game when I rented it. The books were great and the game not so much. |
