2:00 pm – I set up the PS2 and Taito Legends 2, a large collection of arcade games made by Taito.
This icy spot gave me fits. I just couldn't miss hitting that tree every time.
I played Alpine Ski first which is a top down skiing game. I didn’t like the controls much and only a played a few minutes.
Yield to my multi-armed purple genie beatches!
Then played Arabian Magic which is a brawler with an Arabian theme that lets you use bosses you’ve beaten as a special move. You store them in a lantern and call them up when you need them. It’s pretty cool. I’ll do a separate blog on the game sometime soon. With infinite continues, I finished the whole game. Graphics are really nice too.
Color it Super Street Fighter and you got Super Puzzle Fighter.
3:45 – Took a break to play some PSP and Sega Genesis Collection’s Columns. Just a match three game that’s been reused in many other games such as my favorite Super Puzzle Fighter Ii Turbo. It’s simple fun and perfect on a handheld.
Sounds more like a cannon than an artilery piece.
Went back to PS2 and Taito Legends 2. Played Balloon Bomber which is basically like Space Invaders but with a WWI theme. You man anti-aircraft weapon and shoot at balloons carrying bombs. When the bombs drop they make craters that impede your movement. That kinda makes the game a little frustrating as you end up unable to move eventually. What struck me about it was the sound of the anit-aircraft weapon which sounds like an old fashioned artillery piece.
Have at thee ghost, with my beads of Budhism!
Then I played Bonze Adventure, a platform game where you’re a Buddist Monk who shoots out beads at enemies. It’s a pretty cool game but I found some of the platform challenges overly difficult. I died one too many times and bugged out.
Then was Bust-A-Move, another match-three game but you shoot marbles up from the bottom of the screen as it slowly decends. It was fine. The shooting device you use reminds me of Peggle graphically.
Which way is up? Woa! Woa!
Then was Cameltry which is a kind of Marble Madness game but with a top down view and in 2D. You don’t control the ball here though, but the maze that the ball falls through. It almost made me dizzy. You have a time limit to get to the exit and various obsticles to avoid. Eventually you can add acceleration to the ball to make it bounce off objects or blast through walls. It was ok. I moved on after the easy set of boards.
4:30 – Off to work.
2:00 am – Played some Comix Zone on PSP’s Sega Genesis Collection. This is a very cool game. It’s a 2D brawler but you’re in a comic book and move from painted cell to painted cell and have to use items to solve some environmental puzzles. It looks really good on the PSP. I’ve played this on the Genesis Console and I think it looks better on PSP.
