100% sympathy for you Jeff! My daughter caught a cold at a play group recovered and then I got it and 3 weeks later here I still up, utterly in the pits worn out and still have a cold.
I had the Playstation version of Metal Slug X, It had a mode where you had to complete the game on a single life. Furthest I ever made it was level 5. Other than the loading screens between levels, I remember it being a pretty solid version of the game.
The genesis kid gave me his SMS back in the day - no Awesome Memories of it, but I used to beat Rocky while waiting for the school bus. Some games being on cards was probably the most interesting thing about it. Plugged it in with the power button in the On position once and that was it, pop and no more SMS.
Man, the Phantasy Star Online soundtrack is one of my favorites of all time. I nearly get chills anytime I start hearing all the different sound effects and songs from it.
Hitoshi Sakimoto is my favorite video game composer. I was thinking the soundtrack in this game (the orchestral sections) sounds quite a bit like his style. It turns out the composer of this game, formed basicscape along with hitoshi sakimoto. For reference, Hitoshi Sakimoto has done games like vagrant story and radiant silvergun.
i love the sprite work on those metal slug games, but damn are they hard as shit, We cant all be pro gamers like Jeff, but thats why its fun to watch you play very well. Hope you and your family feel better.
Hope you feel better soon! Kids definitely bring on the germs. I've been in the ER three times in the last 12 months and two of those times were due to viruses the kids gave me. I'm jealous how resilient the young ones are with illness.
Not surprised you struggled with the brain robot boss in MS6. It's considered one of the most unfair bosses not just in that game but in the series at large.
PSO on the Dreamcast was legendary! I used to log on using my local public library ISP credentials on 56k. I would "Dupe" rare items like Heavens Punishment.... good times with friends!
You know if you play PSO on Ephinea you never have to lose your character again! Ironically I think it's the best way to play solo as they have a shared bank system and they made all missions solo-able. No more doors that require multiple people to stand on switches at the same time. There is also a Lutris script for Ephinea and it's smooth as eggs on the Deck at 3-4 watts.
11:37 on the Wii, we could never get past that boss. There were not infinite continues in that version lol That said, we were able to beat MS 1 2 and 3!
JEFF! Please fight the urge to move on to the Master System after you complete the ranking of NES library. Otherwise I will be an old man by the time you get to the good stuff like Genesis and SNES! 😀 Better yet, have a vote/poll on what to do after NES....if the people want SMS, I guess I'll have to live with that.
So do we know why Quest: Fantasy Challenge was a Mr. Do ripoff? Everything I've found written about it online says "it's just Mr. Do!" but I can't find an explanation.
The most interesting thing about the Master System/Mark III is the FM sound unit. What an amazing piece of tech.
Metal Slug and PSO, just how Thanksgiving should be spent.

I too, have a cold or something else starting with C. This is cathartic.

Forest 1 music is maybe the most nostalgic thing in my life.

Ah og PSO. I need to check out Blue Burst sometime since it has an entire episode that wasn't on consoles.

Video games truly have the power to heal.

Colds eh? Same here. On my favorite holiday. It’s a bummer!
when everything goes to hell, and you have no where to turn, turn to PSO

Jeff its cool, everyone gets sick.. be back in top shape, we will always be here mate.

I've started a new character in Skyrim on every console imaginable, and never finished any of them. Some day.
Honestly, is there a cooler aesthetic than SNK sprite graphics? I can't think of one
The heck, how did I miss this live :(

Today I learned there was a GBC companion game to Quest 64
....and it's a Dig Dug clone of all things
Quest Fantasy Challenge will cure all ailments.
I've tried to get good enough at Metal Slug to do a 1cc, but I can never decide which game to do it for
The first one is the more reasonable one to 1cc from what I've heard.
Hope you and the family feel well soon!
If you don't know NFL Blitz 99 is the game Jeff is the most skilled at, you just haven't been paying attention.
Time to sit back and relax on the rocket lawn chair.

I would pay full price for a PSO remaster or port to modern platforms.
Ah c'mon N64 has Mischief Makers and SIn n Punishment
Gaming is back

Solid Jeff.
This sickness saga is getting out of hand.
Jeff, Jack Reacher is very good
Jack Reacher is a decent series. If you can get pass the eye-rolling story contrivance that drives the main plot.
just had my own close encounter with covid. i dont recommend. get well soon and happy tuurkey day 💪👍👃
Love you Jeff.❤❤❤
aw yiss Jiff
