Ouch. Yeah, the main reason I requested that would have only been apparent after you finish the first level, when you continue chasing your girlfriend's kidnapper through time.

Oh man, that would be so rad if we weren't incompetent. Maybe we'll save that one for a revisit instead of ten more episodes of Battle Balls.

We should do a "Mom Can I Have Another Regret?" where we play games again and try to beat/get farther into them. I'd subscribe to my own patreon for that.

H2H again! This was actually a prototype game and never had an official release. It's actually quite fun, so it's surprising that it never got a full release. It's Pak'n Bang Bang.

All I could find is that it's also under the name Dr. Kick, and that the goal is to steal something and leave with it. There's an evaluation stage that determines if you got a priceless relic or literal trash. Not much else is out there on the web.

Alright, so in an attempt to do some variety in game genres, here's a racing game, with animals. What kind of animal would you think makes sense? Horses? Sonic Hedgehogs? Nope, fuckin' armadillos.

Alright, more H2H. So out of curiosity for our foreign viewers, this game was often bundled with Metal Slug over in America. Was that the case for you guys as well?

I'm not going to pretend I didn't have to research that joke to get it. A Tarkus game will eventually serve as the Twisted Metal to this game's Diddy Kong Racing.

Up next we got "Pochi & Nyaa", which had a website. . . that we visited.

Apparently they had journals written by "Nyaa" and has a bunch of other weird poo poo going on. Unfortunately it's all on archive.org. Anyhow, the game was at least interesting, even though Keith was incredibly frustrating while playing it.

Plus the weird handicap system seem to indicate that between evenly matched players, the winner is pretty much guaranteed to be whoever wins round 1, in three rounds.

I like the concept of the game, but it looks really rough.

The game could definitely use more polish, but it was alright. I think the idea was to handicap the winner to even the odds in subsequent rounds, but life was too frantic at the time to pay attention to much of anything.

Can people prove to me that this is a widely loved game, or not? Cause I've seen people freak out about this game, so I need to see if I'm crazy or not.

This game owns and was pretty widespread. It's pretty hard to play well though, especially for people with arthrithic old man reflexes.

My arthritis has nothing to do with my crippling incompetence! I know we barely scratched the surface, as evidenced by the handful of special moves pulled off without any concept of how it was done. This is probably another one that needs to be revisited once we have successfully crawled out of the bottle and at least read the instructions.

So this is part of the Grand Master series of Tetris games, which we honestly had no reason to be playing.

I guess we know now that spatial awareness and shape recognition isn't part of Keith's puzzle skills. Puyo and Battle Balls indicate he operates purely on colors.

Sega made a lot of vehicle games. They had the Harley one, the 18 wheeler game, Crazy Taxi, and then one where you drive an ambulance. I wish we were better at this, as I read the final level, and it's absurd.

Alright, a fighting game. FINALLY. This one is actually pretty rad, it was requested by Smoke. For some reason Neo-Geo is just on fire as far as the H2H games go, but next week I think we have something different so no worries there.

Also, I tried to look it up, but why is this Waku Waku "7"? What are the other six waku wakus?

So there's not quite a lemmings game on arcade, but this is a somewhat close type. The game is called Risky Challenge in arcade, but on console it's known as Gussun Oyoyo. So I'll not be surprised when one of you mother fuckers have heard of this game.

I have it for Sega Saturn. :kiddo: Apparently Xing redesigned it to be even harder than the arcade version.

Hahaha, of course. OF COURSE! I have to question the veracity of your claim that the console version is even harder, because Keith's performance would have you believe that the arcade version is completely impossible. Jokes aside, you guys never cease to amaze when we roll out some obscure game and at least one of you has a dissertation to drop on it.

I did try the arcade version out slightly, but after watching Keith play, I can only imagine how much more difficult it could be.

I just realized I want—no, need—to see you guys attempt the co-op mode in Tengen Tetris.

It's not an arcade game, but it is a NES port of the arcade version of Tetris, in case that meets your criteria.

Is it actually a cooperative mode, or competitive? We can barely cooperate to do this show, so the notion of trying to Tetris together is already worth a chuckle.

It is actually cooperative. Two players playing the same game of Tetris simultaneously. It's amazing and I have no idea why no other version of Tetris has included it.

When we first started doing the MCIHAD thing, we found a game called, "Numan Athletics" which was a pretty unique sorta bishi bashi type game. Then sometime last session I think, we discovered there was a sequel. Since Keith had come on board in between then, we had to do it with all three of us.

So here it is, enjoy!
