... I just got done with pre-production of "Nitro". It's a classic Amiga 500 game and I'm happy that I found time to play it. I also need a better mic but the one I'm using now should work. I'd like to get this posted tomorrow but that depends on how the day will go..

I would also love to review Commodore games but I have an issue with the software I'm using... For some odd reason, it doesn't want to work with Vice. So, I'll just figure a way around it.... somehow....

Looks cool. I recognized absolutely zero games in your preview but still I look forward to the possibility of you reviewing some of the C64 games I used to play, and maybe DOS games and classic-to-current Windows games also.

Good luck with the reviews.

Thanks.

In fact, rare games is more of my specialty. One concept I've came up with is to review good games that never seen the light of day so that people how are into retro gaming might want to check them out. I will review some popular titles but mainly I just really would like to review old games that are worth playing.

But I am interested in reviewing newer PC games too. But it's only a matter of time if I can get anything produced and posted on YouTube... I'm almost done with Nitro, I just need to get a better mic and do some editing. I'm going to try to get something done by next week.

Aman, brother... I'm going to sooooooo do a Beach Head II review in the future.. but my software acts strange with vice... there is a way around it (I know) but it's rather tough... but for now I'm going to focus on Amiga for just a bit then I'm tearing into C64...

I was on the LemonAmiga.com forums and some are begging me to put something out soon... I'm so very excited but it's going to start out as an experiment first... if it goes over then I'm going crazy and invest more money into making better reviews...

I'll also do a Tron Arcade review sometime later if I get good at this... also a Tron 2.0 if my software works fine....

Thanks guys... I hope to have something up next week... cross your fingers..

Sweet, I'd love to see reviews of older (and newer) games. Especially by a Tron-Sector member.

I'm really behind when it comes to keeping up with all the games out there. There are so many classics, and newer titles, that I've never played. Seeing reviews of them would help me to know which ones to check out.

I'm the same way. Even though I have what seems to be an endless supply of games, there are too many to over look and I may never play them unless I learn about them some place else.

Someone on TV a few years back was talking about classic games being for the PC as retail. They said that although you could play these games and more on MAME, it's better to induce them in moderation. Otherwise you have a whole lot of stuff that you'll miss out on. That is so true.

Lets say you have 800+ NES games and you know all the classics. Well, there are also a bunch of crappy games in the mix as well. How can one find good games that they never knew about without playing each unknown game from A-Z? Sometimes by random chance you'll find them but a much better way is to get online and look for people talking about their fav underdogs and then booting up an emu and checking them out for yourself.

So I too am inspired to play games I don't know about when I see someone either do a video review or just a simple blog.

The video you have requested is not available. If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process.

You're telling me! My friends and I had our leathers and an excessive number of bandanas and arm bands ready to go at a moment's notice. Bummer.

Nice job on the review, btw. I agree that the fat hippy should have been nuked, as he is not worthy.

lol... Thanks bud... I got a kick out of making it. I just hate my mic because it makes the pitch of my voice higher than what it really is.

Once I mentioned that I was doing some Amiga reviews at a few Amiga forums everyone wanted me to get something out there ASAP, but instead of rushing the job I decided to keep it simple.

When I get use to doing this there will be a world of improvement... and after I get some Amiga / C64 games out of the way, there are a bunch of PC games I want to do a review on... and one of them is one of my all time fav.... "Interstate 76".

Yeah, I know what you mean about the mic. I never seem to sound, on recordings, quite the way I think I actually sound, either.

Keeping it simple can be the best policy. It was one of my CompSci professors who introduced me to the K.I.S.S. principle of coding. K.I.S.S. stands for for 'Keep It Simple, Stupid'. It's worked for me so far.

Aw yeah, now THAT'S a game I recognize! I'76 is without a doubt one of my all-time favorite games, also. There's a review I'll look forward to viewing.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Sorry for chiming in a little late on this, but I just checked out your retro gaming review videos. I enjoyed the first promo-like video even though I wasn't familiar with any of the games. I didn't have much of a library of games for my C64 - just a handful and none of those appeared in your video.

The second video of your Nitro review was pretty cool and you did a great job of explaining the game, what you like about it, and why it's held up so well in your book. I loved your vision of the future from the 80's! Yeah - what happened to the whole Mad Max future? Very nice touch to your commentary. And though I can't stand Parris Hilton, your use of her in the video was well done.

Nice job, my fellow 80's enthusiast!

I so hate Paris, that is why I used her. I was going to say, "..now all we have is a nasty skank.." but I thought the flat chest joke was a little more decent.

The "Duke Nukem" was nothing more than a joke (well, maybe more) and I know I'll be so eager to get my hands on it when I can.

Thanks for checking it out. I'm sticking to Amiga games for now since everyone on YouTube is doing Nintendo and Sega reviews. I also have the Amiga community freaking out that finally someone is doing game reviews to that awesome system.

Todd, I'm very surprised that you never played "Master Of the Lamps" or "Bruce Lee"... They were some of the best games on the C64... If you are into Commodore emulation let me know. Most C64 games are availible online and none of the companies are complaining about anyone downloading them. They have become pretty much freeware.

Thanks for watching...

The funny thing is that I was really soooooooooooo hoping that my future would lead to that. Driving in some sort of rigged up dusty black car, long hair, leather jacket, and racing a car through a post apoplectic city.

My future would have been a cross between Thundar, Road Warrior, Ice Pirates, and Night of the Comet.

I'm in tears that I never had my chance... lol..

Since I'm still in a posting mood I'm going to tell you the names of all the games that is in my introduction video.

1st - Unreal - game intro: Amiga 500 (not to be confused with Unreal for the PC)
2nd - Unreal - first level: Amiga 500

3rd - Turrican 2 : Amiga 500

4th - Wrath of the Demon : Amiga 500

5th - Nitro : Amiga 500

6th - Speedball 2: Amiga 500

7th - Master of the Lamps: Commodore 64

8th - Revenge of Shinobi: Sega Genesis

9th - Phantasy Star II: Sega Genesis

10th - Bruce Lee: Commodore 64


I had a whole lot more to add but I wanted to keep it short. The Sega Genesis games are ones I'll get to someday but I have no plans on taking them on anytime soon. Mainly because of my Amiga projects... and other computer games.

There's loads of interesting crap I want to introduce to those of you who haven't played them yet... and I'm so excited by everyones' responce... Thanks sooooooo much for watching..
