Super Mario Land Review

                      

                  Super Mario Land Review 

 The Story

Since this game was directed without Super Mario's creator Shigeru Miyamoto's involvement, they decided to change up the story and characters. Besides Mario himself, no other characters from the previous games make any appearances.  The plot is about a space monster named Tatanga, he hypnotizes the people of all 4 kingdoms of Sarasaland. Tatanga conquers all of the kingdoms and kidnaps Princess Daisy. But of course  to no surprise, it's Mario who has to save the day.

Gameplay

It is a fun platformer game as any Mario game should be. There are 8 worlds which contain 3 levels each. There are also special levels including submarine shooting, the final boss fight, and an entire shoot 'em up level. These level were exactly what Miyamoto actually wanted in the first Super Mario Bros game.

Difficulty

It is a fairly easy game. Aside from 1 or 2 levels and the final boss it wasn't hard at all. You can  easily beat it within a hour or 2. 

 Music
 
The soundtrack was composed by Hirokazu Tanaka.  I personally like the soundtrack to this game and am currently listening to it at this precise moment.

Overall Thoughts  

I think it is a good Super Mario game. But it has shown some age especially compared to the sequel. I'll give it a rating of  7 out of 10.

Doom Absolution

  Doom Absolution Happy Halloween everybody! Today I will be talking about the cancelled game Doom Absolution on the N64. Which was meant to be a sequel to Doom 64.          Info There is a lot we do not know about this title, so lets dive into some of the basics. It was meant to be a sequel to Doom 64. It would've been a multiplayer focused shooter game, To compete with games like Goldeneye.   A quote from Aaron Seeler said "At that time, as doom purists, most everybody involved thought it Was silly to play doom split screen, where you could see everybody else. So, we chose not to do it. 007 beat the crap out of Doom 64. Quite a regret". They decided to cancel the game because by then their engine named the Doom engine was becoming outdated. So They decided to work on Quake 64 instead. Fun Fact Doom Absolution was canceled only three months after the release of Doom 64        The  End Happy Halloween.

The Nintendo AVS: The NES that could have been

           Nintendo Advanced Video System: The NES that could have been                                                                                     T he Origins The Nintendo Family Computer nicknamed the Famicom released on July 13th 1983.

          The FamicomBox: The Famicom For The Hotel    Introduction Have you ever been to a hotel? If you have, it is very likely that they may have a console you can play in your room. If you were in Japan in late 80s you would have had access to the FamicomBox. A famicom intended for hotel use.   Details   The FamicomBox is a silver metal box. It can hold 15 famicom games at once. The unique thing about the games is that their shells are the same as your standard NES cartridge. All of the games have the same label. These games will only work on the FamicomBox system.
