Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins – Game Boy
When you see the name “Mario” in any setting, you instantly think of Nintendo’s mascot. He has permanently secured himself a spot at the highest point in video game history, and when you go to purchase a Mario game, you know you’re getting top-shelf quality. So is there any need to gush over a title such a Super Mario Land 2 when you already know it’s going to be good? Well, what if I told you Nerd Bacon’s ZB might have a criticism or two for this portable classic? It’s time, yet again, to arm yourselves with tomatoes and blunt objects as ZB boldly expresses his opinion of Super Mario Land 2 for the Game Boy.

Spy vs. Spy – Game Boy Color

Felix the Cat – NES
Felix the Cat and his magic bag of tricks. Sounds like the perfect idea for a video game. And Hudson Soft is involved? This should be great, right? Well, let’s see what Nerd Bacon’s ZB has to say before we go hopping on eBay…

The Incredible Crash Dummies – NES

And who published the games? None other than LJN, of course! Come take a ride with ZB through the Sega Genesis- hold on a second. Didn’t we already do this one? Oh wait! This ain’t for Sega Genesis. It’s a whole new ballgame on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Watch out folks, we’re going on a fresh crash course here, and ZB’s got the wheel! We’re doomed.

The Lost Vikings – SNES
It’s time to go back. Way back. Back to a time before all these fancy iPods, Youtube, and even Harry Potter! You’ve got it – 1992. The early years of the fabled 16-bit console war. When a small developer, by the name of Silicon & Synapse (Blizzard) was taking its first step towards greatness: The Lost Vikings. It was an odd game – perhaps one that was overlooked. An action/puzzle game that took you where no viking had gone before. Now it’s time for us to go there ourselves and take a look at this game of old. ZB dons a viking helmet for his review of The Lost Vikings for Super Nintendo.

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure – NES
What is it with great movies and bad Nintendo ports? Brought to us by LJN, no less. Like Beetlejuice, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure is a movie that came out in 1988- scratch that, ’89. Damn, I was on to something here. Anyway, the first Bill and Ted movie was awesome. Highly quotable, fun story, and with enough self-aware cheese to keep you entertained all the way through. Then in 1991, just as we were insulted by LJN with their port of Beetlejuice, we got another winner with Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure. But here’s the question: Could it get any worse than the Beetlejuice game? Well, why don’t we come along with ZB and take a close look at Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure for the Nintendo Entertainment System and see if we can come to a conclusion on the matter at hand?

Beetlejuice – NES
In 1988 audiences were introduced to the afterlife’s leading Bio Exorcist. Beetlejuice was a sleeper hit that garnered enough recognition to earn it a spot in cinema history as a classic. Soon after its release we were graced with toys, a cartoon series, and of course in 1991 a video game. And…what’s this? LJN? By now in internet history I’m sure you know about their reputation. So with a closed mind let’s take a ride with ZB through this very negatively-slanted evaluation of Beetlejuice for the NES!
