Goldeneye (N64)



Nintendo has created many classic games throughout the late 90s but as soon as Nintendo64 was released, one game changed the first person shooter genre. Goldeneye was the neat first person shooter game that everyone was addicted to. Although it came from a movie that everyone forgot about, it was the type of game N64 gamers needed besides Mario 64.

Goldeneye had many features that resembled the James Bond movie on 1997.While playing this game, you'll will be shooting scads of soldiers, planting explosives, escaping from a train seconds before it explodes, and execute other decidedly Bond-like maneuvers.

Anyone who has played Goldeneye has that sheer joy experience by putting a bullet in some Russian's head with the sniper rifle, from 200 yards which never gets old by the way. The game includes 12 different environments with 3 difficulty levels that make the game so much fun.Goldeneye has outstanding graphics and sound, and contains a certain depth in its gameplay that really entices you to finish it on all three difficulty levels. Th graphics in goldeneye are incredible for this system. Some of the characters mostly look like the ones in the movie. The music is absolutely perfect, and adds a lot of ambience to the game.

Overall, Goldeneye is those type of games that never gets old. Its a fun game that can never be played too long.

Cool Spot! (SNES)


There have been many a shameless plug for products throughout gaming history. In 1990 Virgin Interactive released Cool Spot one of the most worthless. Cool Spot was a 7up creation. I vaguely remember this character outside of this awful game.



The game consists of collection red dots that give you more cool and rescuing the other Cool Spots. The 7ups give you extra life and this all takes place on a beach somewhere.



The enemies are an assortment of sand creature like crabs and other crustations. you must avoid contact with these creature at all costs. This is because you have to offensive capabilities what so ever! You just have to take the punishment like the loser that you are if you are playing Cool Spot. ( myself excluded...of course)



If you get hit your face begins to melt for some odd reason and if it melts too much you are toast...no pun intended (well maybe alittle). As corny as that joke was this game takes the cake. What corn ball thought up a freakin spot collecting cool pionts on a beach while avoinding deadly crustation.




Hmmm....lets see continue......No Thank You! I'm gonna go play some other crappy game.

I'm out!

Contra 3 (SNES)


Contra 3

On April 6 1992 the North American gaming public was blessed with this stunning run and gun Legend. Contra 3 was remains to this day is widley accepted as one of the greatest games in this genre.


The game takes place in 2636.Bill Rizer and Lance Bean are caled in to fight an alien invasion. How bad ass are they that there is an alien invasion and all the world needs is these two dudes. Its like the entire human race saw the big bad aliens landing and said 'aint nothis Bill and Lance can't take care off.'

There are several reasons why this game is awsome one of which is the game modes. I'm just gonna make this clear right now the only way to play Contra 3 is Co-op. There is nothin like laying a serious beat down on on aliens with your buddy. That being said here are the features that make me swoon.

On Bike assult!


All of that aside the best part of this game is the weapons! There is a whole arsenal of tools to deliver just the right amount fo destruction. So im gonna narrow it down to the top three in my opinion. Here it goes.


#1: The Spread Gun!!!!

This is the best. If you ave ever played Contra then you know that there are enemies coming from every direction and the wondeful toy will cover about a third of the entire screen. Plus it doesn't blow up with you in it!




#2: The Tank!

The tank is awsome it punishes all that is unfortunate enough to fall in its path. Not to mention its huge. It takes up most of the screen, the bad part is that it blows up... and that is a little annoying!




#3 The Homing Missles!

What better way to deliver pain than a homing missles. these babies will hit things that you didn't even notice were there. the only problem is that sometimes you would like them to hit the things right in your face first, which doen't always happen.


Well Good Old Gamers there you have it Contra 3 will remain in the hearts of millions for some time now. Thanks for tuning in and keep on gaming!


Thanks,
