I finally got the willpower mustered up to shelf my King of Fighters addiction and get back to NESing it up. I spent far to much time trying to beat Mike Tyson in Punch Out!! over the last few days. I've beaten him twice in the past and cant see why I'm having so much trouble with him this time. I'm probably spent 6 -7 hours on just the Tyson fight alone, which is crazy. He is hard, but not that hard. I'm hoping that its just a small amount of lag thats is holding me back so I'm going to add it to my "record with a VCR" pile and hope things go smoother on a TV setup.
I really wanted something fun after that frustration so I popped in a charming little platformer, Yo! Noid. Its a fun game that I've spent time with in the past. It really helped me unwind from hours of defeat at the hands of Iron Mike. Nothing to crazy and got it done without much trouble. Finally, that first game I've finished in over a week now.
Followed that up with some Xexyz. Got to stage 5 and wrote the code down. There are a few blinking sprite issues, but they seem very minor. I'll keep moving forward as I can, but if it gets to hard later in the game I may have to finish it up on a VCR also. I really need to track down a couple good condition tapes to record these on.
Thought I'd have a quick two games done again tonight, but I was sadly mistaken. Apparently I'm fat and out of shape these days because I got my ass handed to me tons of time tonight on Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Mostly these were not honorable defeats. I did fine during the first two circuits, but the 3rd circuit just gave me way to much trouble tonight. I'll get crackin at it again tomorrow night.
Took a break from getting clobbered and snuck in some Kung Fu though. Its short and sweet so at least I got something beaten tonight.
