Trying to knock down as many games as I can before the year ends, why, I don't know, just because. This time its The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle. I only ever played and beaten this one once, back when I first got the game, didn't much care for it, I mean it was okay, it has something good there in the gameplay, but also flaws that detract heavily from it that makes it more annoying than fun. Bugs Bunny when walking if you just roll the d-pad to move another direction, he just keeps walking straight ahead into danger, you have to let off on the d-pad then change directionals. Another, walking up and down stairs, once you get going you can't stop, at least not when going down, so some deaths can result in running into enemies unable to retreat, I hate this lack of control. Another, when Bugs drops down from higher ledges, when he lands on the next floor down, he takes a step forward upon landing, so if you aren't careful you can walk right into an enemy when you land even if they weren't directly under you, and also if there are multiple small ledges he'll just keep automatically walking off each of them. I hate the cheapness such as when Bugs is walking, when the screen is scrolling he walks too far forward so you only have an instant sometimes to see an enemy to react, even worst is on the vertical screens, sometimes you can't see a f'in thing so you blindly drop down onto an enemy, or exit a pipe or something not knowing there's danger directly above or below you, so you just gotta take a guess and hope you don't cheaply die. Also hate how sometimes you don't have anything to combat enemies with and you get one or more blocking your way to a carrot and its the only way to it, ugh, pain in the ass. But I like the levels, and I like the use of the weapons and objects that you can use as traps, but aside from that, there wasn't much to make me enjoy playing this one. But at least most of the flaws can be gotten used to and at least every time you finish a level you get a 1up, so beating it wasn't a problem, I had plenty of lives left over, even after losing 20 of them, I finished it with 47 left, so its not a hard game, just irritating.

Ninja Gaiden - SOOOO happy to finally beat this. I could always make it to the boss but after dying and going back to 6-1 a few times I'd usually get frustrated and give up. Well last night I stuck to my guns and took that punk out.

First time then?  Awesome. Ninja Gaiden seems so ridiculously hard those last few stages, but after you beat it once, somehow, like with most things, because of all that excess practice, it gets much easier, at least for me it was. Even though I whooped the game pretty good during the high score contest, still I think this is one of the more difficult games on the NES.
