About two years ago I had an idea for a site where I could use my video capture device on days where I'm not streaming for charity to capture some footage of the old games that I have in the ol' archive here. I had a lot of fun going back through some of my old games (and some of my old not-games) to create a few articles for this site.

Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight

Submitted by b on Mon, 03/04/2019 - 09:47

I used to play Street Fighter games a lot, starting (like a lot of people, I'm guessing) with Street Fighter II and its bazillion sequels. I never really played the first Street Fighter game, so I had overlooked Street Fighter 2010 completely when it came out. By the time that I was knee-deep in the Street Fighter-verse, I rediscovered that this game existed, supposedly took place a bunch of years after Street Fighter, starred Ken, and had him getting cybernetically enhanced and punching sci-fi creatures to death with his fists.

Which, to a kid sounds pretty amazing.

Ring King

A long time ago, I got a copy of Ring King. I don't know if I rented it from somewhere or if I borrowed it or if it was mailed to me in an unmarked envelope or what happened. But, the thing is, I got a copy, and I spent a few days playing it.

Bad News Baseball

I stopped at a flea market the other day and picked up a bunch of NES games to help round out my collection a little bit. Once I got them home I had to try them out to make sure they worked. And, since a few of them were games that I had never played before, I had to try and figure out how they worked.

The first game I tried was Bad News Baseball. A game that features kids playing baseball somewhere where there are rabbits as umpires for some reason. 

Bionic Commando Gameplay

Submitted by b on Sun, 02/24/2019 - 09:08

Continuing my quest to upload every scrap of video I've ever captured to YouTube, I found some footage of me playing Bionic Commando (the game where you take control of a cybernetic super soldier who can't jump for some reason and guide him on a mission to rescue a different soldier who got captured at the end of a different game). I used this to demonstrate farming energy pellets back when I updated protipoftheday.com.
