Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

Icon Leave Comment

Release Date: June 2001
Size: 64 Megabits
NP's rating: 5/5 (v.146 p.114)
ESRB rating: T - mild violence, animated blood

This game is not worthy enough to use to wipe my butt with. It's another one of those games where I can't pass level 1. And you only get one life? Fail. How is one supposed to defeat the poison worms...

Need a good laugh?

A while back I came across this East Indian version of Weird Al and I think he is very funny. Check him out http://www.boymongoose.com/

Selling stuff

Icon 1 Comments
One thing I sold had a deficiency that I didn't know about. The other thing had a deficiency that didn't show up in my testing but showed up when the purchaser tested it. I packed it very well and yet there still must have been shipping damage.

It's discouraging. Not trying to make money off the stuff, just get it into the hands of...

Catchy tune. I was surprised to see Bruce Willis in the video.

Tainted Love 12"

Hi there!

I know you've heard Tainted Love a thousand times before, but I guess some are still in for a surprise with this version (beginning around 2:50). Incredible transmogrification, pure musical genious ahead! :music:

Change of plans

Icon 1 Comments
Okay, so I haven't updated the blog in a couple weeks. The problem is, making it a nightly thing was a poor idea. First, I have a wife, a thesis, a full time job, and a new baby. My ability to make time to both play this game every night, and then to write about it does not exist. I was having to choose to not play anything else at any...

I hated to cover up Dave Dries' nifty Dungeon poster like that, but when I put it on top, I could no longer see the games. ;)

I've already reviewed Juno First...

Hi,
just to announce the release of Quick Extract v 0.3. This is a small program that will allow you to easily extract files with just a double click from your desktop. Just
install it as an application to open those zip, rar and other archive files. Everything else is explained in the docs. Have fun!

Bloombox is not green!

Icon Leave Comment
I was listening to the 60 Minutes podcast and they were doing a segment on the Bloombox, which is based on a fuel cell. The thing which annoys me is they call this "green energy". Umm, folks . . . you're generating electricity by consuming gaseous hydrocarbons (typically natural gas), which isn't green IMHO unless you are...

Bombliss 2600 (mockup)

Icon Leave Comment
Hi people.

Tetris was never my favorite stile of game but bombliss variation rules and I enjoyed it alot as a kid.

If you never played bombliss, all pieces contain 1 bomb wich explodes if the row is filled.
You need 2 or more bombs to explode the row, if the row haven't bombs, nothing happen but it count as "combo". With more lines...

A snapshot of my collection

Icon 3 Comments
From time to time I like to step back and take a look at how my collection is shaping up. It may be that I find holes in my collection where I need to spend more time finding one or more great games for a system. Or it may be that, like earlier this year, I find that there are several games that I just do not play, and I sell those games off.

The Last Word Development Blog: Part 3

Icon Leave Comment
Having the program code underneath the extended banking window is proving such a headache that I've turned my attention - for now - to updating the "Shadow RAM" version of LW with some of the new features intended for the "Pro" version. Such are the changes being made to the standard version, that the Sparta 3.x compatible...

Game Review: Donkey Kong for Atari 8-bit

Icon Leave Comment
Donkey Kong was one of Nintendo's biggest hits in the Arcade, and was equally as successful on home systems. Coleco's versions for the 2600, Intellivision, and most importantly Colecovision, were runaway hits. Though no version managed to have all 4 levels until Atari released a version for their 8-bit computer line, and blew everyone away...

Perfect Dark XBLA

Icon Leave Comment
So Perfect Dark is finally being re-released in March. The game will have all the features of the original N64 release plus updated, HD graphics; online capabilities; GoldenEye weapons available in multi-player; possible DLC in the future; and it now runs at a nice 60fps. I can live with this. Especially with a price of $10.

The Ultimate Hardware Emulator or the Ultimate Hardware platform

I bring this up because of the interest in both software based emulation (i.e stella, Atari++, WinUAE etc) and hardware based emulation (i.e Dingoo/gp2x, Flashback series and also the tv game joytick players)

Additionally the reason for this blog stemmed from an Idea i discussed...

Mord's Project No Dollar

Just so you know where the subject is coming from, it's from here.


You know, the whole attack on the secondhand game market makes me sick.

The rabid fanbase that defends the attack as something nobel and justified also makes me sick.

It makes me violently ill whenever I see those dicks trying to rationalize it, especially when they...

Looking Forward

Icon 1 Comments
The 2600 scene is still alive and well, and there are quite a few of exciting projects currently in development. I have probably forgotten some, but the ones that I am looking forward to the most are:

Hardware:

  • AtariVox+ - I think this has been delayed by the difficulty in getting hold of SpeakJet chips.
  • Project Unity...

Planning of making Gameplay Footage of the Flashback 1

Icon Leave Comment
I played more of the Flashback in depth. I have more to say about it, I mean how can someone screw up programming Adventure for the NES-on-the-Chip. I think making a gameplay footage of the original Atari version vs the Flashback version would be interesting for someone to see. Basically the original Flashback 1.0 is a NES-on-the-chip. The...

random shenanigans, music promo, gaming goodness

Ah, promo material.. It takes so long to put together, sometimes. Such is the case with my myspace page for my dj profile. Took about six hours yesterday to get the thing sorted out, the whole process consisting of compiling promo mixes on my harddrive, to uploading them to a variety of distribution sites, to creating new artwork to be used as...
