Well, I’m gonna try to keep to my word of using Twitter less. Twitter is a place where I just end up being depressed and feeling shitty after I use it. Maybe if I didn’t go into yelling at dopey hardcore conservatives I’d feel better but I doubt it. Anyway it’s time to review 6 more NES games and finally finish off the Letter B.
Yes, I am in fact going to bitch about how much this game costs. It is not rare. There are 2 pages of copies, many that are complete on eBay right now. Rare is something you see one every 5 years. Rare is that thing that if you see it you pick it up. Rare is not something that has TWO FUCKING PAGES on eBay. A part of me wants to collect old Retro Games, but only the ones I owned or rented as a child and get them CIB and seeing Bucky O Hare for the NES complete goes for like 500-700 bucks makes my head spin. I am putting all of this blame on the first YouTuber who showed people where to go to find this stuff easily, which was Pat the NES Punk with his shitty Flea Market Madness, you then got SO MANY FUCKERS doing the same thing! I even enjoyed some of these videos at one point! I actually watch them now just to listen to them complain! Yeah you know why that flea market vendor wants $200 for that Super NES and 12 sports games? It’s because he thinks what he has is fucking gold because games THAT ARE NOT RARE I WILL NOT LET YOU FUCKERS TELL ME BUCKY O HARE IS RARE. I DID NOT HAVE TO FUCKING BUY THIS GAME OFF EBAY OR ANYTHING. I GOT IT IN ST JOHNS NEWFOUNDLAND. ANY GAME THAT WAS FOUND THERE CAN NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED RARE. THIS IS A FACT. NEWFOUNDLAND IS A DAMN ISLAND IN THE MOST RANDOM ASS PLACE AND THIS GAME GOT HERE EASILY. EASILY. I remember renting the damn thing! It’s not rare. Fuck Youtube Game shit and fuck me for still watching it. I guess I will now finally review this game and holy shit did Konami make one of the BEST LICENSED GAMES. As in games based on a license. Bucky O Hare was a comic created by Larry Hama and Michael Golden in the 1980s. It then became a cartoon after TMNT hit big. I remember having tons of the toys and enjoyed the cartoon even if it didn’t last long. It was a cool cartoon show! The game has great graphics, great music, a lot of really great level design (some of it kinda sucks but most is still pretty well done) and honestly a mostly fair challenge (again some points are very not well done) It’s a game very much worth playing, just don’t fucking pay $120 for it. If you pay that much for this NOT RARE FUCKING GAME I will punch you in the dick. If you do not have a penis I will glue one on you to punch it. Do not pay the price you fuck.
Ahhhh the Looney Tunes, the greatest group of cartoon characters from the Golden Age of Animation. I don’t think anyone will ever argue against that fact, unless they are a contrarian fucker. Portnoyd is a fucker who’s wrong a lot but I don’t think he’s a contrarian fucker. Anyway I either had or rented this game a LOT as a youngster. It was Bugs FUCKING Bunny for fuck sake and I don’t know what it’s like now but just about every flea market vendor that had more than 3 NES games for sale had a copy of this game. Like it was EVERYWHERE. I remember getting it again very quickly and easily. It’s admittedly a very janky and probably quickly rushed out game to get out in 1990 for Bugs Bunny 50th anniversary at the time. However, I don’t care what the Angry Video Game Nerd or anyone else says. I still like this game and think it’s mostly fun to play. It can have some hard moments in it but by the time you get to those moments you’ll have like 9,000 fucking lives that beating them shouldn’t be hard at all. The music in this game is seared into my brain and I will never be able to not hear it.
I love the fact that this simple puzzle game has SO many licenses attached to it. It was originally Roger Rabbit in Japan, then easily became a reskinned Bugs Bunny. I believe it has connections to a Mickey Mouse game, a Garfield game, the Real Ghostbusters and even Woody Woodpecker. That’s a wild group of characters isn’t it? This game was another game I rented a lot as a kid (or I owned a copy. I don’t know. this was nearly 35 fucking years ago, give me a fucking break) I just remember that it actually took me some time to aquire a copy of it when I collected games. I was very happy when I found a copy and pretty sure I went home and beat this game easily. This game is very easy. Very very easy. Maybe a few levels later on being hard but it’s easy to beat. I beat it then, left it soak for decades and then beat it again for the NES Bounty. I haven’t played the game since but I get the feeling I’ll come back to it again. It’s a simple, charming little affair that I enjoy playing.
Vic Tokai is a very underrated video game company. I am a big fan of a lot of their games. I also like how it’s just a guys name. Like that’s just a name of a Japanese dude. VICTOR TOKAI. Anyway, Bump N Jump is a very simple game. You drive in a car and you jump over areas to get to the next driving area. You can also jump on other cars or bump them into the wall. It’s a simple situation but CAN and DOES get very hard. I’ve never gotten past like stage 5 or 6 in this game. I’m still a really big fan of it though. It’s just simple fun arcade like action. It’s like a lot of NES games, it’s a simple concept just done really well. You’ll have a good time with Bump N Jump.
KID is a great company. They made games for Taxan and Capcom and Taito. I will praise all of their games very highly. This is one of the best shoot em up games on the NES. I love it. The graphics and music are great. The challenge is hard but mostly fair (I still have to beat this game but have gotten to the last boss before). If you like rooty tooty shooty games then Burai Fighter is a worthwile one. The game does try to change it up in some levels and change what you have to do and search and find something and I don’t really like those levels but other than that I will always say positive things about Burai Fighter. I am not very good at reviewing NES games.
Well this is the first group of games where I like every single game that I reviewed, at least I believe so. I wondered if I would find a set of five games where I reviewed them all pretty highly or at least decently well. Every game in this set of six games will get put in the good games list. I don’t know what others thing about Burger Time for the NES but I love it. In fact I like it more than the arcade game. I’m just more used to the NES game and the arcade game is just a tad bit different. It’s a game where you play a chef trying to makre burgers and living food like sausages and eggs want to kill you. It’s a weird game but I like it. It has like six or so levels before it repeats over and over again. I like to think I’m pretty decent at the game too so that’s a good thing. Final thing since I doubt I’m ever going to review every Game Boy game I will say that Burger Time Deluxe for the Game Boy is a game worth getting. I just like Burger Time. It’s a game Pat the NES Punk and Mr. Depressing (Ian) are wrong about. They probably like eating paint chips. The jerks. (this is also game #100! Woo!!!)
More fun to come!
