While most people in the Midwest would be outside enjoying the recent snowfall, I like to take this time to do something a little more sensible...review a game! I wanted to review a NES game today, but since my NES is acting up I guess I'll review one of my favorite arcade games.
Sunset Riders is a shoot'em up game that takes you back to Wild West to take down some tough outlaws. The game has a pretty simple concept, shoot your enemies and avoid getting hit. There's not much of a story, but each level is unique and each boss fight is different and challenging. There are four playable characters, 2 with pistols and 2 with shotguns and with the arcade version, you can have up to 4 people playing it. The SNES version (the one I currently own. There's also a Sega Genesis version that I have not played) only allows 2 people to play at a time. The graphics and sounds make this game timeless. The game also features voice acting for the bosses and although they don't say much, some of there quotes are classics (You in heap big trouble!).
Definitely a Gamgasm and Must Buy.
Where Mario and Master Chief are VIPs.

Rocket Knight Adventures
Rocket Knight Adventures is cool purely based solely having the main character be a possum with a jet pack. I mean how cool is that. The game is a classic platformer where you have to go through stages to rescue the kidnapped princess. The music and the graphics are really great, especially the music when you're flying over the water early on in the game. (It's just so inspiring.) I think by far the best moment in the game is when you discover a present that turns out to contain an evil pig and your possum jumps back and screeches. It's possibly one of the best moments in video game history. The ending was pretty disappointing although the final battle seemed to take about 15 minutes to get through and never seemed to end.
I would have given this game a Gamegasm, however the disappointing ending and being able to beat all of the bosses by just using a pattern of moves takes it down to an Ok. Cool. Definitely a game you should try out and pick up if you see a good deal.
