I'm healing well and expecting to get back to work soon. This is my last batch of "at home" games:(
Started off with an interesting one, George Foreman's KO Boxing. It really feels like a pre-cursor to Punch-Out!!. The enemies all have only one short cycle they go through which makes them much easier to figure out than the Punch-Out!! opponents. With less and easier guys to fight against it didnt take long to get through. If you check out the video you might notice that there is no music during the fights. The music during every other part of the game is actually pretty decent though!
Next was Galaxy 5000. If you've ever played one of my favorite racers, Rock 'n Roll Racing, this game might feel familiar. Its got a sci-fi setting, digitized voices, similar control and view, vehicle weapons, cash bonuses, and a nice focus on destroying your opponents instead of just straight racing. It was pretty fun and definitely something to check out if you like unique racers.
Lastly was another racing game, Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge. The gameplay is basically Rad Racer. The only difference is how the campaign is set up. There are 16 races in total and your goal is to have the most points after your 16 race season. Each track starts you off with a qualifying lap. Depending on how well you rank on your qualifying lap you'll get a better starting place for the actual race. Only the top 6 racer out of 26 get points depending on their final ranking. Like George Foreman I was pleasantly surprised by some of the music.
Future Plans - Going back to work soon and am hankering to finally finish off Thunder & Lightning. Also want to play Flying Warriors and Roger Clemens MVP Baseball soon!
These sound like games that are worth checking out.
I like your theme of playing and writing about lesser than/underrated games. There are loads of NES games out there that just never got the spotlight they deserve.
Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge wasn't anything to write home about, but both other games are worth checking out if you're a fan of their respective genres. Its been a lot of fun playing some of these games that I completely missed out on or haven't heard much about.
Either I have really low standards or there are a ton of great games that no one ever seems to talk about:p
You're actually playing sports games, so that explains why no one else talks about them.
