I need help, so I'm asking #Pinball & #PinballFX fans who own a Nintendo Switch and have Attack From Mars on Pinball FX3 or Pinball FX(4) AND REMEMBER, if you owned it on FX3, you now own it on FX(4) for free. Go ahead and download it!
Yesterday, Angela was going for the arcade world record when she said the right flipper would sometimes release even though she was holding the button. This wrecked her game a couple times. After playing it all night long myself and switched controllers and, yea, this seems to happen no matter what controller we use. I want to make sure it's not just us and maybe something interfering with the wireless controller because I can't find anyone talking about this. Could you play Attack From Mars, at least a few games, where you try to trap frequently with the right flipper and let me know if, at any point, the raised flipper just releases on its own even though you're holding the button?
At the end of this video, I'm certain I was holding down the flipper when it released.
On her literal first game since the week we got the Nintendo Switch version years ago, Angela rules the universe on Attack From Mars, the ultra-ultra rare (and crappy) Nintendo Switch version from The Pinball Arcade that was delisted in less than two hours. For fans who think we have these amazing lost treasures, we really don't. Addams Family (barely) won on The Pinball Arcade over Pinball FX, but this is the worst port of Attack From Mars we've ever played, easily. Angela could barely sleepwalk to the wizard mode :P Seriously, what a freak. She wasn't even trying.
I had 47 lives when I started this level. I love that they brought back the "Special Zone" from Super Mario World, but man, these stages are hard.
Welp........... that WAS kind of funny, I guess.
Alright, since Super Mario RPG is doing so good, I decided to finally bust out my copy of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and play it for review. I hated New Super Mario Bros. I hated New Super Mario Bros. 2. I hated New Super Duper Mario Bros. U Deluxe Special Edition Turbo Hyper Fighting. I found that whole franchise to be incredibly boring. I think the era of 2D Mario games is over and every new 2D Mario of MY childhood as sucked balls and chewed bubble gum and it's all out of bubble gum and my expectations for Mario Wonder have been basically non-existent.
This is literally the second level of Mario Wonder. Nintendo has decided to quit being coy with the whole "this stuff is sort of drug-like, isn't it?" and just flat-out did Super Mario Bros. LSD Edition. And I LOVE IT! This is bonkers!
Want to see how long it can take for some of the random drops in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon? Here's my efforts at getting the Dark Armor from the only place you can get it. This is one of those inelegant things, because this is LITERALLY a one-off enemy who, completely randomly, drops a one-off piece of armor. 0.5% chance, but even with two rings that strongly boosted my luck, well, I don't recommend you watch this.
The benefits of save states: Circle of the Moon edition.
Apparently Golden State is shopping for Kevin Durant. God, it'd be nice to be able to pull out the Homer gif one last time. I miss the days of the death lineup.
This is Antbear, an unreleased prototype by Mattel as part of their M-Network line of Atari 2600 games. It's one of the DLC games of Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration. It's based on Anteater, the Stern coin-op (presumably Atari has plans for Stern's library). BUT, it's not really the same game, as that was a dot-eater like Pac-Man, with the screen completely covered. They couldn't do that here, so instead you have to get the "grubs" which are the little yellow spots on the walls. Ants can be eaten from any direction. Worms only from behind. Apparently if an ant hits any part of the tongue but the tip, that's death, but that doesn't count for the worms. It's interesting for sure, but good? I'm not so sure. Atari has an usual amount of finished games that never released, but very few of them are actually good games. There's a couple, and I'll be playing them in Atari 50 (like Saboteur or Save Mary) but mostly the cancelled stuff is garbage. This ISN'T garbage, but it's not really fun, either.
My first game of Adventure II and I'm dead in under 10 seconds. Well, easy come, easy go.
What the actual f*ck, Cathy? How did you do that ya dummy.
As a kid, the graphics for this was eye-popping. Tallon IV was one of the greatest worlds in any game.
This remastered version? Christ, it looks so old and low in detail. Lacking grit and texture. We really have come far.
