#StarWars Developed by #BeamSoftware Published by #JVC Released in #1991 A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... Star Wars on the NES is loosely based off of episode IV #ANewHope When my father showed me Star Wars for the first time I was awestruck. I thought it was great and my two favorite characters were #HanSolo and #DarthVader It was the story of a young man on a journey and I really love those movies. For some reason I really didn't feel connected to Luke Skywalker, maybe it was because I thought he was a bit of wimp... I don't know. I thought Han Solo was just awesome, he was sneaky, cool and a bad ass in his own right. Darth Vader was the ultimate villain and kind of scary, especially when I was younger. My father clearly liked Star Wars over my mother's Star Trek. The game I thought was really good but very challenging. The controls are tight but it does have its frustrating moments. There's a few different styles of gameplay as well; platforming, first person flying scenes and overhead flying level. You can play as Luke, Solo and even Princess Leia. If you can use force to overcome the high difficulty and sometimes cheap deaths the game is actually good. Overall I'll rate the game a 6 out of 10. #Nintendo #NES #VideoGames #Games #Gamer #Gaming #GamersLife #Retro #Classic #RetroGames #ClassicGames #InstaGamer #90s #Handsome_Rob_7 #TCOAG #Handsome_Rob_7_The_NES_Years https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmyd5fTFjmD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f5amgt1l7kl

#ThePunisher Developed by #BeamSoftware Published by #LJN Released in #1990 The Punisher's origin has been slightly altered from that of the original #Marvel comic books. In the game he is a former NYPD detective instead of a former U.S. Marine who served in Vietnam. This is chapter 21 in my book and it's definitely one of my top LJN games. LJN gets a much deserved bad reputation in taking good franchises and turning them into shitty games, however this is one of the exceptions. This game is a rare third person rail shooter on the NES, it's also pretty graphic for an NES game as well. It might be the first nutshot I ever pulled off and definitely the first time I killed an innocent since I shot a harmless saxophone player. The game is dark, has a gritty atmosphere and hardly any music making it gloomy and gives the game a sense of danger. My mom was pretty pissed when she found out my aunt gave me this game since it was violent. She got pissed at my father too since he played this game with the TV full blast. My mom would yell at my father to lower the TV down. The sound was deafening and hearing him laugh like a madman when killed the saxophone player was absolutely classic. The game is also very difficult and controlling The Punisher does take some getting used to. I think LJN did a good job in capturing the essence of the character and made a good game. I'll rate the game a 7 out of 10. #Nintendo #NES #VideoGames #Games #Gamer #Gaming #GamersLife #Retro #Classic #RetroGames #ClassicGames #90s #Handsome_Rob_7 #TCOAG #MarvelComics #Handsome_Rob_7_The_NES_Years
