I've already been able to cross a few trilogies off my NES bucket list such as the TMNT games, Ninja Gaiden games and even the Ultima series. I was able to finish off one more just last night, the last of the Simpsons games is finally done!
Many people revile the Simpsons games on the NES and in particular Bart vs The Space Mutants gets the brunt of the relentless verbal assualt. Maybe its because I grew up with a copy of Bart vs The World, but I've never had a problem with these games. In fact I even enjoy them! While the controls are a bit unconventional I dont find them very difficult to work with. Anyway after collecting many hats, exit signs, balloons and nuclear rods I was able to thwart the devilish Space Mutants and receive me reward:
Ironcially I got another very "American" ending to another game I beat recently, Werewolf: The Last Warrior. I'm quite surprised that I dont here people talk about this game more often. It was a pretty solid action platformer with some great music throughout. Depending on which powerups you grab you'll play through as either a human, werewolf or super werewolf, each with its own specific powers.
Other than the 4th stage which involved some pretty brutal platforming the game flows very nicely and isnt to hard. That 4th stage though, wowzer. It was annoying. Took lots of trial and error to overcome. Lure some enemies out, take some hits on purpose, hit some enemies while mid jump, watch for enemies coming from underneath you/above you/ and from the sides all while timing your jumps with some moving platforms.
Luckily I was treated to one of my all time favorite ending screens after all the hard work I put into the 4th stage. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:
Future Plans - Still working on Alpha Mission, but not making much progress lately. Its one of the hardest games I've come across yet. Also did another couple games on Bases Loaded slowly working my way towards the end of the Penant Mode. Got a couple other games ready in the shadows, but havnt seriously started any of them yet.
