Out Run! A SEGA Arcade Certified Classic. Only now with a twist on the SEGA Master System. You must beat the clock by avoiding other cars and obstacles on the road. Upgrade your car using the mobile car shop inside the big rig truck that picks you up midway in every level. These upgrades are key to making your car more efficient and easier to handle on the road.
Each stage has a boss you must take down to progress. Ram your car into them to make'em come to a complete stop. Collect your cash bounty to continue upgrading your car as you complete the game. Not much to this, but fun nonetheless. Each level and boss gets more difficult as you progress. Be smart with your bounty money and show your opponents who's boss!
Different from the original, but FUN! I highly recommend Battle Out Run on the SEGA Master System. It's a game you can get better and better at, with practice and memorization. Music is excellent and the controls are great. My only complaint is the engine sounds buzzing and drowning out the great music, when using your nitro speed up. Just a little annoying, that's all. Play this game!
Before there was Kirby, there was Lolo. HAL Laboratory’s biggest franchise series on the NES. You play as Lolo and you’re on a mission to rescue your girl, Lala. You storm the Evil Labyrinth Castle full of puzzles and Monsters, and you will not stop until Lala is saved!
Lolo has no attacks. He must avoid the monsters and traps in each floor of the castle. Fortunately there are unlimited continues. A total of 50 levels to complete in the game. If you fail a puzzle or get trapped, you push the Select button to restart. This can be a difficult game, but logical minds can persevere. The controls can be a bit tricky, cause the movements are not grid based, but that can be used to your advantage too.
The Adventures of Lolo on the Nintendo Entertainment System is a fantastic title and a great start to its trilogy series. If you love puzzle games and have the patience to overcome difficult obstacles, absolutely play this game. It’s a simple premise with basic gameplay, but the mechanics and charm is so much fun.
He is Vengeance! He is The Night! He is BATMAN!! And he has Returned, to kick Penguin butt! Those who follow me online know I am a BIG American Comic Book Fan. I have a full long box of complete series of Batman, Power Girl, Nightwing and Harley Quinn. I have Injustice 1 and 2 on PS4, DVDs and Blu-Rays of the Burton and Nolan Batman movies, the complete DCAU, and most of the direct to video animated movies. Comics and Superheroes are my childhood. A lot of my morality comes from the well written characters of my favorite heroes from both Japanese Mangas and American Comics. Even my own father grew up with Japanese and American tv and movie heroes, and he passed the morals he learned from his heroes to me too. Role models are important for people of all ages.

Thank you for letting us have sleepovers, so we can read our books and play our video games. I Love you, Mom! 愛してるよ、母さん
Batman Returns on the SEGA Master system is based on the blockbuster sequel of the Tim Burton 1989 Batman film. It’s an action platformer following the key sequences of the film. Each stage has two difficulties. One is normal and the other more challenging. You use your batterang to defeat your enemies. No physical combat, at least for the first few levels from what I can tell. Even on the normal difficulty stages, this game is a challenge. Batman has only one hit deaths in this version. According to one of my viewers, the Game Gear version has a health bar. It does help that hitting the bats and collecting their bonus icons strengthens your batterang distance, speed and power. They even reward you extra lives. Thankfully, there are unlimited continues. So if you’re tenacious enough, you can brute force your way to beating this game. The sprites look good, considering this is also a Game Gear title. The sprites are nice and detailed, and the stages are very distinct from each other. And the colors and music are very pleasing.
Batman Returns on the SEGA Master System is just fine. Difficult, but enjoyable for what it is. An 8-Bit game with effort poured in by its developers. You can tell there is heart in here, despite it being a license movie game on an obscure console in the American market. Give it a try if you feel you’re up for the challenge.
Gilligan's Island is a classic American Television comedy show from the 1960’s. It is critically acclaimed according to Internet sources. The Nintendo Entertainment System game however is not as revered. It has so many flaws. The enemy hit boxes are practically nonexistent. Your attacks are pretty much useless against the animal enemies, and there are so many. You’re better off just running and avoiding them as best you can. The only time you have an effective attack is when you face a stage boss, but even those are tricky. The hit boxes are so tiny, you’re basically bouncing and exchanging blows until one of you goes down. I encountered a glitch on the first level. I had to reset the game, because the key item I needed was not interacting correctly. And the music is not so great, because it is very repetitive and droning. I did like the 3rd level music though.
Gameplay wise it is not the worst concept. The game is basically an escort mission and multiple fetch quests. Gilligan is invulnerable and thank goodness for that. It be game over very quickly, due to how much abuse he takes during gameplay. You are racing against time. Each level has the same gameplay, just larger and more complex maps. You get health and time bonuses as you traverse the island, so look out for them. You need to find all the cast aways, retrieve whatever they seek to progress the mission. Gilligan climbs a tree in every stage, so be on the lookout for the same tree graphic. The Professor gives you a club to defeat each boss of every level. Like I said, it wouldn’t be so bad, if it wasn’t for the very bad enemy hit boxes and attack detection.
Gilligan’s Island on the Nintendo Entertainment System gets a pass, but barely. It has its charm. The characters’ dialogue is very accurate to their television portrayals, from what I can tell when I found the episodes on YouTube. It’s a broken game, but if you like challenges like I do, you can take it as it is and beat it. It’s a short game if you’re familiar with it. If you’re new to it, it will likely run you a good 3 Hours. You can say it’s a solid “ 3 Hour Tour “ .
