Few New Pickups

Yesterday morning after work I had a dentist appointment and while I was passing by, decided to drop by What's on 2nd to check up on something. While I was there I picked up a few games. So here they are!

Darkwing Duck for the NES! I'm really looking forward to playing this one. I never played it back in the day, but it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. It's one of those Capcom-made Disney games. If you didn't know, Capcom-made Disney games are probably responsible for 50% of the quality licensed games ever made.

Now, about Batman Returns...I'm a big fan of the two Tim Burton Batman movies, and I've always enjoyed Batman Returns on the SNES, so Batman Returns for the Lynx cannot be that bad, right? Besides, I wanted another game to play on my Lynx. Well, let me tell ya, Batman Returns on the Lynx is pretty much as abysmal of a game as you can get. It's as abysmal as it gets for a game that works like it is supposed to. No glitches to blame here. My first inkling was at the title screen where there are no options at all. I pressed a button and the game begins, no setup to the story or anything, it just begins. In the game you just walk to the right of the screen and get completely overwhelmed by enemies that constantly spawn. You get peppered in the face with bombs, shotguns blasts, and knives, and find ol' Bats picking himself up off the pavement constantly. You start out with one life, and once you die it's all over. No continues. Youch.

I think I'll go play Batman Returns on the SNES to cleanse the pallet.
