Wolverine – NES
Wolverine, another NES game from the LJN Pantheon, has it’s fair share of ups and downs. Great controls, and decent 8-bit graphics deliver some entertainment, but it’s dragged down by a merciless difficulty level and questionable design choices.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York – NES
Home Alone 2 takes the setting of the second film and decides to rewrite the story of a clever and industrious kid into something more fitting for an 80s action star. This isn’t a game that rests on Kevin’s trickery and smarts, no, this is game that puts Kevin in a Rambo-esque role as he tears through relentless hordes of completely mundane people and objects. Read at your own risk!

Home Alone – NES
Back in the 1990s, it wasn’t unusual for companies to take anything vaguely marketable to kids and turn it into a video game. Cartoons, movies, toy lines, and everything in between were often crafted into video games of questionable quality. Home Alone is yet another “fine” example of how bad a video game can get.

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?

Trip #3 – Blink-182
Blink-182 has had one of the most distinguished careers of any punk band, rising from lo-fi skatepunk to the undisputed gods of pop punk. Turmoil within the band led to break ups, side projects, reunions, and some experimental work that eschewed all notions of punk. Join me on my 3rd Discography Trip, this time through Blink’s varied and complex catalog!

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!

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 – PS2
Sometimes, you can pinpoint the moment when you realized that your favorite console was going to be phased out. For me, it was the terrible port of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. With gamebreaking bugs shipped in the box and corners cut wherever the developers could get away with it, it was the moment when I realized the PS2 was no longer worth every company’s best efforts to program for. Witness this harrowing recollection of loss and heartbreak in the spirit of April’s Foolish Games!

Kid Icarus – NES
Often overlooked but remembered as a cult classic by some, the original Kid Icarus deserves a spot amid the best NES games of all time. Challenging? Yes. But it’s also a lot of fun and creates one of the most imaginative and creative atmospheres in the 8-bit world.
