#SuperDodgeBall Developed by #Technos Published by #CSGImagesoft Released in #1989 Rating 8 out of 10 the first spin-off sports title in the Kunio-kun series which includes Renegade, River City Ransom, Crash 'n' the Boys: Street Challenge and Nintendo World Cup. These games were "Americanized" to appeal to the Western gamers. The story was changed as well to better reflect a sports title. When I think of sports games on the NES I think of Blades of Steel, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, Pro Wrestling, Temco Bowl and last but certainly not least Super Dodge Ball. The gameplay is great, the action is funny and challenging and playing with two players can ruin friendships. I loved this game and enjoyed playing it with my friends. We had countless tournaments at my house over the years. The teams in the game consist of, Team USA, Team All-Pro (USA), England, India, China, Kenya, Iceland, Japan, Russia and Team Shadow. There are the typical funny stereotypes represented for each country, each with their pros and cons. There are three game modes for a high replay value as well. I'd like to share a true and funny story. When I was in the 5th grade back in 94', we had a kid in our class named Douglas Wang. Doug was a fucking beast of a 5th grader and was by far the biggest kid in the school. He was 5'8" and pretty stocky. Well the entire 5th grade class faced him in gym in dodgeball. He was killing kids left and right, finally it was me vs him. He threw the ball with such velocity that it gave me a welt on my face, as Doug went to see if I was dead, the ball fell from sky and bounced on his back making me the winner. Doug if your out there somewhere, good game! #Nintendo #NES #VideoGames #Games #Gamer #Gaming #GamersLife #Retro #Classic #RetroGames #ClassicGames #InstaGamer #90s #Handsome_Rob_7 #TCOAG #GOGP #Handsome_Rob_7_The_NES_Years https://www.instagram.com/p/BnHLgeNlk6E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19xg76rcsj89

#Solstice Developed by #SoftwareCreation Published by #CSGImagesoft Released in #1990 Much like #SolomonsKey my post from yesterday, Solstice is great, it's fun, it's addictive and highly difficult. It's an unforgiving puzzle game and my father loved these types of games. Perhaps he liked getting frustrated or just liked a difficult challenge, I'll never know. The story is five pages long in the NES manual of the game but the gist of the game is that you are a wizard named Shadax and you witnessed the kidnapping of princess Eleanor by Morbius the Malevolent. You then discover by doing research that the staff of Demnos is hidden in Morbius' fortress Kâstleröck where he would least expect it. Every one hundred years on the winter solstice the six hidden invisible pieces of the staff are revealed. You must now collect the pieces and rebuild the staff, defeat Morbius and rescue the princess Eleanor. The gameplay takes some getting used to because of the isometric view. There is a total of 252 rooms with various puzzles to figure out. There are limited lives and continues. The continues act more like check points instead of starting at the room you died in. Once all continues are used it's back to the start of the game. There are no saves or passwords. Definitely in the top twenty hardest games on the NES. My father has beat this game many times, first time he completed it he got a 100% by going in all rooms and getting all items. Then he would try to beat the game with the lowest percentage possible. He was a glutton for making a difficult game more difficult. I did beat this game but I didn't care about my percentage, I'm just happy I beat it. It also is notable for one of the best opening songs on the NES created by #TimFollin Overall 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 #Handsome_Rob_7_The_NES_Years https://www.instagram.com/p/BmghLDVlHtR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dtlymt10yr9a
