Another update and another Baseball season under my belt!
First game this time was Rocket Ranger, and it was an unusual one. Started off as a simulation game where you move spies across a world map. These spies are searching for rocket parts, fuel, your captured scientists and enemy bases. Occasionally your spies get killed, but when they succeed missions start becoming available. The missions are all over the place from one on one combat, to bombing enemy tanks to sniping from the bushes. The point of the game is to obtain each of the 5 rocket parts to build a rocket, stockpile enough fuel for a trip in your rocket to the moon, then defeat the would be alien overlord. The game has a lot of good ideas, but unfortunately the gameplay isnt great in most areas. Enjoy this sexy end screen!
Since no one else seemed to want to tackle another long baseball game I took to conquering Roger Clemens MVP Baseball. It was similar to Bases Loaded in that once you figured out a few tricks its just a matter of time.......41 games worth to be precise.
Lastly was Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure. Contrary to the title it really wasn't that "excellent". Tons of aimless wandering as you look around for hidden items in which you have to return to randomly placed historical figures. At first you only have to return one item to one historical dude, but as you progress you have to match 2 and then 3. The worst part of the game is the men running after you constantly in each level who throw you in prison with just a touch. It takes a long time to travel to some areas of the map so its pretty annoying to get thrown in jail as you're nearing your destination. At least your are treated to a pretty rocking Wyld Stallions concert for your trouble
