I, GameJew: The Mushroom Singdom 04/14/08

 

They say that life is like a roller coaster. One week you’re way up high, basking in the glory of some awesome games, and the next, you’re way down in the doldrums dealing with the ho-hum of mediocrity.  

 

Mega Turrican on the Genesis is a lot like Super Turrican on the Super Nintendo. In fact, in the few minutes that I played, they were surprisingly similar. This is a problem for me. I know a lot of people really love these games, but I find them extremely boring. It’s strange because all the elments are there: cool level design, good controls and interesting power-ups. The game just leaves me wanting more. 

 

Nine out of 10 people that watch this video for Fantasy Zone have one of those, “OH MY GOD I HAVEN’T SEEN THIS GAME SINCE I WAS 7!!” nostalgic rush moments. It’s been great. I live for those nostalgic rushes. As for the song, I used the game music as direct inspiraton, which used to be the only way I made these videos. The reaction has been so positive, I think I’ll return to that style. What do you think?
