In the good old Days 6: Biker Mice From Mars Guest Player Arancil



OMG yes!!!! I know I shouldn't use God's name in vain. But, I have to because Biker Mice From Mars, is seriously like the best Party racing game ever. This game is freaking awesome. After me and Arancil played Wild Guns, we played this epic game.

First of all I never watched the cartoon as a kid, but I had Modo, Throttle and Vinnie as action figures and !!! I aslo have the Biker Mice From Mars, board game. Yep there is a board game as well, its actually not that bad. But yeah I have great parents, having the snes game, the board game the action figures of a show I never watched -_-

I tried finding any pics on the board game I cant even find a pic on the box. Maybe I should sell it on ebay or something, maybe I am rich.

Anyway luckily the Super Nintedo game is epically good. So I played it a lot, and apparently I still play it. First of all each character is really different, especially Fisburgers driving style is crazy different then the rest, each character has their own ability instead of picking up weapons. And the game still random 1 weapon per lap, which of course the the last player get better stuff,
This game was light year ahead of its time, the part that each player always get an item makes it even more rubberbanding then Mario kart franchise. Or is it?
Actually to me personally, Biker Mice From Mars biggest selling point is the amazingly super high anti-rubberband of the game. If the player is in first place, he gets money instead of a real item. This at first sounds really rubberbanding as then the first player is completly defensless. Well first of all you always get your personal ability, and that dont matter from placement. Secondly the game has a character development system(Did I say the game si awesome). Money can be used to improves ones motorcycle. This means that if you are good enough(like me) to be in first place without using weapons and then win the race. You got a lot more money then the rest, this leads to you been able to upgrade, so you will win even easier the next race.
This all sound bad??? No its awesome its the reverse of the freaking blue shell that any real gamer hates. Biker Mice From Mars is the racing game where if you suck, you will be punished for it. Obviously the game would never sell good today on like a wii, but why cant anyone make a bad ass racing game like this for Esporting people.

I want to make a racing game right now, that is shity hard, and if you play wrong you are super punished, 8+ player on the same time.

Note::: Always Ban Modo, he is freaking Imba if he is not banned pick him yourself


(Me and Arancil did actually play Street Racer first on the stream, but we felt we needed to play a lot better racing game)

In the good old Days 5:Wild Guns Guest Player Arancil



So I got my friend, Jakob “Arancil” Pamp Bengtsson over to my place to play this awesome shooter game from Natsume (1994). And I really mean got him to get here------ we been talking about playing WIld Guns for at least a month, nice that we finally did.

Wild guns is a shooter right?. In wild guns, you can basically shoot down anything. So it does remind me of many different old 80s arcade games. However in Wild guns, the user is actually playing a character on the screen, Cliff Or Annie. So I cant say there is a defined genre for this. arguably its a third person shooter, in 2D where the player can destroy the enemies bullets.
One really awesome part is that some guys come close and the player has to hit them, this is actually do create a lot of tension for the player. And its really nicely designed on the last boss of the game.


Well that's a good side of the game. I like games which are unique and good. Don’t get me wrong some people do games to be unique, that's not good. Do good games which are unique, Wild Guns. To Super Nintendo, was good and it had its own gameplay.
Furthermore, the game has this awesome post apocalyptic steam punk mecha feel to it. That is always cool, its a cool 2 player game. It has a versus mode(we tested that out in the start). And its ridicules hard if you play it hardcore.


We did not and finally beat the game after 1.5 hour.

In the good old days 4: Earthworm Jim






                                                               I fail at the third stage ofc

Ye...this part...

Mission Complete reach the bungy stage.





I wish I was better at this game, its soo awesome. I couldn't reach more then the bungy stage on the stream. But, when I have time I will seriously train on this game so I can beat it while streaming it.

The thing with Earthworm Jim, is mainly the aesthetics. First of all hes just an earthworm, in a space suit. So many of the moves are him attacking or spinning his body etc-_-. it inspired some of the enemies and the story for my baccalaureate thesis.

However, like I say a lot, its also about the different gameplays. For example, the speed race between the stages. The horrible water stage-_-, the bungy stage, the dog stage( ye I didn't get here...) and so on. Furthermore hte bosses are way different.

Heaven's Garden 2

Pumiceville got spotlighted on SC2Mapster so I got into improving some of my older maps.

Here's a vastly improved Heaven's Garden, at least if we look at the graphics.
