I'm sure you are familiar with this situation: you're shopping on a Saturday, and your shopping list is written on the back of an old paper copy of a once read article. My list today is on the back of Clyve Jones‘ „The Protestant Wind of 1688“. Fun fact: this copy was made around 2005 in Berlin, and moved with me through my career from Berlin to Erfurt to Nuremberg to Augsburg. I am living my best life, dear #histodons@histodons
Don’t mind me, just out here buying Home Depot buckets full of #NES games.
Update: Here's the full list of what I got. I paid $200 for the lot, and in my stupidity I originally priced it out at $2 a game (instead of the actual $4). But still not an awful deal?
My first time playing River City Ransom on the NES tonight and what a game! A two button and two player beat-down, the attacks, split paths and RPG elements really add to the enjoyment. The weapons are pretty varied too.
It was released in 1989 by Technos who had popularised the scrolling beat-em-up genre (AKA fight n' go right) with both 1986's Renegade and their 1987 arcade smash, Double Dragon.
It is regarded as an NES classic and has been on my list of games to play on the MISTer. Having spent a good hour with it, I can confirm it's going straight to my favourites list.
