Mega Man 2 and Castlevania

With the help of the mighty Ebay I was finally able to find these two classics at a good enough price to add them to my collection. I actually played and beat Mega Man 2 a couple of weeks ago on IOS, and have been looking forward to playing it on the original hardware even since. It will be nice to play with a controller and not a touch screen. The faster paced platforming required to get through the game was made a lot harder with my fat fingers pounding away on my Iphone screen.

Castlevania is one of those classic games I just missed out on back in the day. My only real experience with it is through casual emulator play. Can't wait to give this one a go.

Little Nemo & Ghost 'N Goblins

Hello all Bad Username here with some more retro video game finds. This week I picked up two Capcom NES games at a retail store for role playing / card games called Colosseum Games located in Kenosha,WI. The person who helped me out was really friendly and I could tell he also passion for retro games too. I think he may have been the owner but I am not entirely sure. Anyways at the front counter they have a small section of retro games; NES, SNES, N64, etc. Prices are about what you can expect for a retail store, up words of $20 for the more popular retro games. With that said I feel I got a good deal on the games I found today. I will definitely check in there every now and again to see what comes in.

Weekend Retro Game Challenge : Strider for Sega Genesis FAILED!

Another check goes into the FAILED column for this Weekend Retro Game Challenge of Strider for the Sega Genesis. I just couldn't get into this game. Even after playing for a couple of hours I never found myself compelled to keep on going.

Strider is the story of Hiryu, who is the youngest man to reach the rank of an A-classed Strider, one of the last defenders of Earth. An alien force from a distant nebula has come to conquer the Earth and enslave it's people. The mastermind behind this evil plot is Meio who plans to rule the Earth from a space station called Third Moon. Strider must fight his way through five different stages and defeat Meio if the Earth is to have a future.

So whats my problem with Strider? To be honest I don't know. On paper this game should be one of my go to games. Maybe I didn't give it enough time. I'll have to come back to this one someday.

Weekend Retro Game Challenge : Strider

This weekend I'll be playing Strider for the Sega Genesis. My only experience with this character is from the Marvel Vs. Capcom series and I would rarely play as him due to the fact that I didn't know who hell he was. I picked up my copy in a lot of Genesis games off of Craigslists. I haven't had the time to try it out so it has been sitting on my shelf ever since. Figured it would be the perfect game for a Weekend Retro Game Challenge.

Will I stride through Strider with easy or will I stumble?
