  5. I played some Jack the NIpper and I did about 60% naughty.

    Some of the puzzles are a bit cryptic. You kinda have to try everything. But it's a pretty clever game.

    There's a key that I thought was a clockwork key, but it turns out to be a radiator key and makes the radiators move so you can find secret tunnels.

    Also the game area is like a labyrinth. You go though one door and find yourself outside the door to somewhere else. So you can only go forward and never go backward.

    It's a bit bananas.

    I want to find out all the naughties without looking it up.

  9. I'm going to play Treasure Island Dizzy.

    It's the one where you only get one life so it's a bit of a bitch.

  13. Many people know of the SNES version of SimCity, but there was actually a version made for the NES that was unreleased, and The Video Game History Foundation published a few minutes of gameplay of the prototype for it here: youtube.com/watch?v=N0q93b_allY.

    It looks similar to other versions of SimCity we know. The music is fairly repetitive (that 8-bit limitation has a lot to do with that, I'm sure) but the video here shows a lot of the gameplay features, including the monster destroying the city. The music of the short cutscenes with the animated characters (saying you have too much crime, etc) really have a kinda Mario sound to them, in my opinion.

    This was a cool watch for SimCity fanatics like myself. 😂

  15. The Arcade Blogger is one of my favorite blogs (and sites overall) on the whole web and has been for a while, so I figured I should mention it briefly here.

    If you're into arcade games, you might already know about it.

    But if you're into arcade games and for some reason haven't been to arcadeblogger.com (or haven't been for a while!) there is SO MUCH great arcade-related stuff there to see, read, and generally check out.
