  3. Another NEO GEO game review upload, this one is #10 in my top 20 games of 1991. It's KING OF THE MONSTERS, a title that can be very frustrating to play but undoubtedly captures the feel of the giant monster films (i.e., Godzilla, Mothra, Ghidra, Gamera, Rodan, etc.) as you battle monsters over a Japanese metropolis, crushing all manner of vehicles, buildings and humans beneath your feet. Very cool! As is custom with my 10th and 20th placed game video in the yearly series, there's a bit of 1991 trivia added to the beginning, so apologies in advance if that's not your thing.
  4. King Of The Monsters.. is just one of those games I'm not sure I'll ever quite get the hang of.  The controls don't feel right, the grappling moves don't happen when I want them to, the computer always seems to come back when they get their ass whooped, etc.

      I am not much of a fan of fighting games, but I love this one. I actually bought the Neo Geo collection for the PS 2 because this game was included. My favourite character is Beetle Mania.

       

      I do agree, however, that it is extremely difficult to pin the computer opponent. The character upgrades never seem to make much of a difference.

      Yeah, the controls just suck out loud.  Also, if you're laying the smackdown early on, the computer shouldn't start winning all the grappling matches just to even the playing field.

      @retrorussell Oooh! King of the Monsters. Now your talking Russ. A personal top favorite for me and my brother. Spent many quarters playing it this gem of a title in a local Dairy Queen growing up in Paramus, NJ. Amazing times it was for us for sure. :)

  5. Enjoying making another 1991 time capsule.  Go Ninja Go Ninja Go!

  8. CARNIVAL Frying during play may cause the graphics to go funky. Some of the targets may completely unrecognizable (usually the ones for extra bullets), and the ducks may have bizarre flight patterns. Some of the funky targets may not be destroyed, making it so you can't finish the stage. Also, the pipes (Ferris Wheel) may not be visible, though you may be able to shoot them. If you fry during the demo, the computer-controlled gun may have infinite bullets-- the ducks can eat them but the gun hits bonus bullet targets enough to keep the level high. It has a back and forth while firing motion that won't likely hit the pipes enough to finish the stage before the game demo resets.
  9. My review of SENGOKU, released for the NEO GEO in 1991. A couple tunes to bookend the video from 1991 to give you the feel of that year.
  10. My video of the NEO GEO game 2020 Super Baseball. Cool futuristic look at baseball (though 2020 has obviously passed in real time) involving teams comprised of men and women, and robots too!
  11. Damn, that's impressive! If you would like to submit it to the DIG DUG THREAD-- and any more information you have about the 2600 version (or other versions, including the arcade original), feel free to contribute! https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282789-the-dig-dug-thread/
  12. SPACE INVADERS 2,315 I hate them zigzag lasers! Hated them on Demon Attack too!
  13. So, question on the Space Invaders scores-- is the game we're supposed to be playing, listed as "game 4", the one with the zig zag missiles and moving bunkers?
