It was reported over at WireNinja that NBA Jam is being re-released by EA Sports exclusively on the Wii.
NBA Jam has to be one classic video game that I have wanted to see remade for a very long time now. Specifically, ESPN reports that NBA Jam, which was a huge hit in arcades and on consoles during the 1990s, will be announced later this month by EA Sports exclusively for the Nintendo Wii.
ESPN speculates on the awesomeness that might come with an updated Jam, writing: “Considering that ‘Jam’ was famous for including hidden characters like Bill Clinton and Will Smith, one has to wonder if EA is planning a hidden Obama character to deliver a presidential throwdown on King James.”
Ho Hum. It’s raining outside, you’ve just polished your array of skull drinking cups, nobody wants to go down the tavern with you, and all the princesses in the neighbourhood think you’re a total jerk. Nothing for it but to don the old armour and go on a crusading rampage, save up a load of money looted from the corpses of your fallen foes and buy a huge army with it, falling upon the next hapless nation like a tsunami of barbed steel, to smell the blood of a your vanquished adversaries, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
This has got to be some form of copyright violation. Imagine if Halo was orange juice. This is Sunny Delight. I should think it’s horrible and tasteless and not like it at all. But I actually did. It might be tedious, it might be one paced. It might have a near identical progression of levels, no variation in enemies, and a plot, characters, weapons and generally everything else lifted wholesale from another game, but it reminded me of Gauntlet, and that is enough. Play it, disagree with me, and go back to www.1980s-games.com and play some more ripped off arcade emulations. I particularly recommend Black Tiger, for what would be a hideously frustrating experience were it not for the fact that credits are free these days. I remember putting two weeks pocket money in to the RoboCop arcade machine, and getting killed by the third incarnation of ED-209, the last phase of the last boss. Bastards. Speaking of which – I still need more robots for my top trumps game. Suggestions in the comments please; we already have Johnny 5, ED-209 and some frightening real-doll type android in a french maid’s outfit…
Cause, um, I heard there’s like, monsters down there or something?
The blank look you’re giving me is probably due to the fact that you didn’t grow up in the UK during the 1980’s, and have no idea who Berk is, or of the whereabouts of my dinner, OR what Globbits are. This may go some way to rectifying this lacuna in your knowledge.
Right. So Now you should be over the joke, and fully prepared to play a little adventure game. You have to use your imagination a bit, but there are some nice touches – good banter in the item shop, some good bosses and little in jokes. Here it is… the epic D&D adventure that is Monsters Den. There’s no facility for deleting old save games, so if you want to start a new campaign, keep a slot free.
The year was 1986; an American Italian plumber from New York found himself plunged (no pun intended) into a crazy, fantastic world of side-shuffling mushrooms, mutant man-eating venus flytraps and bottomless pits ready to destroy him at a single false step. Worse than this, the woman he idolised had been kidnapped by a ruthless, horny, giant, firebreathing, axe-tossing tortoise, and his limbs would only move under the remote control of a NES game pad.
Cue perverse level design, runtime flaws, millions of hours of young lives wasted and a whole raft of profanity.
Another Wednesday, another gore-fest.
Clear Vision puts you behind the lens of yet another high powered gun, popping the heads of the subjectively naughty. I’ve never been one of the alarmists who think that violence in movies and sex on TV are ruining the minds of the nation, but there does seem to be an inordinate amount of self righteous stick-figure glee collected around consequence-free death. Are we so pent up that this kind of hedonism is a release for us? Time for a jog around the block… +Continue Reading
