Classic Gamer

So you are bored at school, work and on a computer with no games installed (or a mac, hehe). You need your game fix but there isn’t a Wii, Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 in sight either! Is all hope lost? Nah.

There is an insane amount of flash arcades on the web right now so it’s quite difficult to find out what the best ones are. Here is a list of some of the cooler flash rom sites (best games, decent design and lighter on the annoying banner ads).

Have you ever felt like what you are doing is totally pointless? Have you ever been so frustrated by horrid game play that you wanted to burn your eyes out with a blowtorch? I don’t care buddy! You haven’t felt pain like playing the utterly crap E.T. for Atari.

So here is a video so you can get an idea of just how bad this game really is and why there are tons of cartridges buried in the dessert somewhere.

This lame commercial tried to convince poor saps to actually buy this plastic turd.

Oh yes, I’ve tried emulators like NESticle, ZSNES, Snes9x, Gens, Project64 and while it was a fun little ride a few years ago, none of it comes close to the VC on Wii.

The deal is everything runs smoothly on Virtual Console and since you have to pay for games (instead of scouring crappy sites loading with lame ads and spyware for a free NES ROM or two) you tend to leave the crappy ones in the dust. I haven’t got time to play crappy NES games like I once did. This site is called classic gamer for a reason. Only good games reach classic status.

There is nothing worse than playing a choppy, buggy game on a second rate emulator.

Probably the best part of playing old games on Wii is the awesome controls. I am yet to come across a game that has shamed the original release.

So first I create a post tonight slagging off VC and now I’m stroking it. Who knew??

VC releases are definitely slowing down. The first quarter of 2008 has been lackluster. Thanks so much for laying stinkers on us like Cruisn USA, Spelunker, Operation Wolf and Powerball pals.

It isn’t all sour grapes. I’m grateful to finally have Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, StarTropics and Harvest Moon.

And now for your viewing pleasure, video tips for beating the bosses on each level of StarTropics. This will ease the pain.
