I had a friend that was so into Blood even before it was released that he toured the development studio. Pretty neat to see it here. I have memories of it being a pretty neat deathmatch game for my clique of friends. I think we got at least 4 of us playing at once. But I don’t remember much of it. Maybe I’ll give it another go. I replayed Duke Nukem 3D recently with the developer commentary and that was pretty fun.
Def Jam 2: Fight for NY. It’s basically like some of the older WWF wresling games where there can be 4 fighters at a time, but you can only be targetting one at a time. But all the fighters are rappers. The finishing moves are awesome!
I had that level down so good. It’s the level where Mike really shines since why would you want anyone else to get hurt?
The technodrome was my killer level. There just wasn’t enough room to manouver and you could so easily spawn those flying rock troopers. Ugh.
Maybe someday I’ll go back and actually beat the game after watching a playthrough.
If you want some real nostalgia, there’s a great cover of the music by VomitroN. They cover the entire game but I’ve linked the end credits here.
Contra and Mario were games I had mastered. Contra I could do reliably with 3 lives. When I was in grade 2 I remember starting up Super Mario 1 and selecting 2 players because my friend was over. Beat the game without giving him a chance. The game didn’t even switch to Luigi after saving the princess.
Hey, I also tried out SpaghettiKart yesterday! I finally synched up with you.
