blog-0628270001347822807.jpgGot some more games recently, but didn't post them until today because I didn't feel like it.

 

A Boy and his Blob, Blaster Master and Little Nemo the Dream Master on the NES. How I didn't have those yet, I haven't got a clue. I still want to clean them up a little more, but the main thing is I got those price stickers off. I swear, those rectangular price stickers with the slots that make them so they rip unless you pull them off very slowly at an odd angle were invented by a sadist.

 

And Tetrisphere on the N64. Got this one because I remembered seeing it in Nintendo Power many years ago (lolol I'm old) and thinking it looked good. And it was cheap, so I bought it, and surprisingly, it's actually really, really good. I was expecting it to feel like the average Tetris variant (just classic Tetris with a gimmick) but it actually barely has anything to do with the classic Tetris.

 

Pretty much, there's a sphere of pieces, and the goal is to place a piece on or next to a piece that has at least one piece of the same type adjacent to it to clear them. When you get pieces off the sphere, you get room to slide pieces around so you can line up combos and such. The goal is to expose enough of the core to release a robot inside it. And there are multiple game modes. And to top it off, it has a great soundtrack. I have to say, if you have a Nintendo 64 and like this kind of game, pick it up if you can get it for ~5$.

 

Oh, and this may seem like a minor detail, but it doesn't use the control stick. I say this because, for this time of game, that's a very good thing. To be blunt, the Nintendo 64 controller's stick is, well, primitive, and while it works for games like Banjo-Kazooie just fine, trying to control a puzzle game where placing a piece wrong gives you a penalty would be downright frustrating.
