What would compel someone to want to be so good at a game like Tekwar that they would want to show it off to others? That game was loving incomprehensible.

Would anything in this Swamp Thing game make sense if I were at all familiar with the comic book and/or cartoon?

I watched this awful cartoon as a kid...even had this toy which I honestly want to try to reobtain as it was a pretty awesome toy as a kid (no idea why the package is in Spanish).



Also why is Swamp Thing upside down!

That's not Spanish.

Was Super Pitfall a bad game? I remember playing it back in 1995 because it was the first game to come out for Windows 95, but I don't remember it being that bad.
I remember the ending being loving retarded though.

That was Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure. This Super Pitfall is a NES game. A terrible one.

A review in Computer Gaming World derided the game as "a [Super Mario Bros.] rehash that most NES users will be able to play in their sleep."

It's a Konami game so there's a basic level of competence.

It was made by Konami so it's not going to be horribly broken or anything like that.

Another good game with a bad rep put in the Awful games block. But that's fine because the Awful games block is where all the cool kids hang out.

Karnov is not a bad game. It's pretty hard and not that great, but it's nowhere near the borderline-unplayable awfulness of Super Pitfall or Tek War.

Agreed. It's a weird game with stupid sprites that make no sense but that's par for the NES course. Dance Dance Karnov is better though.

What the hell happened to fall so far behind? Yesterday we were a bit behind from the PC woes setting up Morrowind and Necrodancer, and then that Isaac runner took his sweet time. What else went wrong?

It just looks like these setups are taking forever. The Tetris exhibition went 42 minutes over estimate but it was all worth it. I have no idea whether or not they were already behind when they put Kid Chameleon in.
