The clock in your time is always ticking, and you have exactly one year to get the job done. If you haven't succeeded by January 1 ..read more

A playthrough of U.S. Gold's 1992 license-based action game for the Sega Genesis, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Played through on the hard level. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Action Game, a 1989 LucasArts-published computer game from Tiertex, was something of a hit in its time. It saw numerous ports and remakes on various platforms in the years that followed. This 1992 version for the Sega Genesis was set to become the best of the bunch. It was remade from the ground up to leverage the console's strengths and deliver an arcade-like experience that the computers of the time cou ..read more

This is an arrangement of "Stage 4: Waterway to Parking Lot," a theme from Taito's 1994 SNES game, The Ninja Warriors. It has been arranged for native playback on NES hardware, and it plays from a flast cart on real hardware. The track makes use of the VRC6 mapper, and the drums and orchestra hits were done with PCM samples. Thanks for listening! If you'd like to hear any of my other arrangements, check out the playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3gSj_kh1fHueSujqQR8xQQ84DWIjrU4F&si=q7yxSFcOnwnaXrBP ..read more

A playthrough of Ubisoft's 1993 license-based action game for the NES, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Ubisoft's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was the second game for the NES based on the movie, the first being Taito's 1991 game of the same name (https://youtu.be/QeYhoNH7Coc). This version was created by NMS, and if you're familiar with their take on Aladdin or The Lion King for the NES, you're already well aware that they're not known for quality games. The Last Crusade, like the Disney games, is best summed up as an extraordinary waste of resources. Instead of porting over the Dos v ..read more

A playthrough of Taito's 1991 license-based action game for the NES, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

In your search for the holy grail, you'll solve puzzles, reclaim a crucifix from thieves aboard a ship, rescue Marcus from a Nazi military convoy, save Indy's dad from an Austrian castle, and dodge fire as you race through a forest on a motorcycle. As the plot's events unfold, new stages b ..read more

A playthough of Konami's 1993 license-based platformer for the Super Nintendo, Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose. Played through on the "challenge" difficulty setting. Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose was one of several games Konami created based on the popular cartoon franchise, and it was very well received - so well, in fact, that Nintendo Power magazine awarded it the cover their of the March 1993 issue. The game is a fairly standard action-platformer with a few neat wrinkles to keep things interesting. Buster can blaze around stages, sometimes at near-Sonic speeds, as long ..read more

A playthrough of Hudson Soft's 1992 role-playing game for the TurboGrafx-CD, Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes. Chapter 1: The Uprising 4:31 Chapter 2: The Chase 1:28:48 Chapter 3: Lost King 4:44:35 Chapter 4: Mystic Myths 7:01:44 Chapter 5: Outlaws 8:45:28 Finale: Dragonfire 10:32:46 Nihon Falcom's Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes, originally released in 1989 for the PC-88, never achieved a level of recognition or commercial success to rival the company's biggest hits of the 8-bit era. In hindsight, however, its significance is hard to ignore. Falcom found themselves at a crossroads in 1 ..read more

The Tarzan setup is as hokey and as sil ..read more

A playthrough of Time Warner Interactive's 1994 license-based interactive movie for the Sega CD, The Lawnmower Man. The Lawnmower Man, a special effects-laden film starring Pierce Brosnan and tangentially based on a story by Stephen King, was one of cinema's biggest hits of 1992. It only made sense, then, that a video game adaptation would soon follow. Sales Curve Interactive released two games in 1993 to capitalize on its success. One was a platformer for the Super Nintendo (https://youtu.be/PKZxhsZjI20) and Game Boy, later ported to the Sega Genesis. The other, an FMV game for Dos PCs, saw r ..read more
