SPLAT!

When I was around 10 or so this game came out.  My cousins brought it over to a family get together, and we literally played all day long. You made bugs with bugamatic using play doh and the object of the game was to get from start to finish without getting squished by a giant hand.  You played with cards.  The cards had different colored backgrounds and whoever was on that color got SPLAT!!! It was so much fun.  Then that Christmas I got surprised with a my very own edition of the game.

As you can tell, I was very excited to get it.  Maybe a little too excited.  But in its day it was very creative game, or maybe I was a little easily impressed.  The marketing for it was brilliant and impressive for its time.

Merry Christmas

I want to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas.  I was going to do a blog post of one of my favorite Christmas presents that I have ever received, but my computer once again is in the shop.  I'm very fortunate to be able to borrow my mom's laptop. 

Merry Christmas everybody!!!! I hope to be able to post again really soon.

Next blog entry:  SPLAT!

Super Mario Land 2


I recently purchased this game from the Nintendo e-store on my 3ds.  I never had this game as a child, but always wanted to play it.  I believe it cost me $3.99 for the game, not too shabby.

To me this game is long and difficult. The point of the game is to get 6 golden coins and beat the final boss, who is a really big and fat Wario.  If you lost the game you had to start all the way over.  Which sucks, but on the 3ds there is a feature that lets you save and you can start over from that point. 

This game is classic and very enjoyable to play.  I'm going to attach some screenshots of the game itself.  On the 3DS version you can play in black and white or the seaweed green version.




Sorry for the short, horrible entry.  I've been working 7 days a week and haven't had much spare time.  I'm sorry!

ETA:  I can't believe I forgot to mention this.  There is a new power up in this game. To me, it looks like a carrot and it makes you fly.  It gives you wings that come out of your hat.  Of course, the original power ups are still in this game. (the mushroom, fire flower, and star)  You also get to fight a slew of new villains and bosses.  Overall I would recommend  this game!
