SNES

 

History 
Finally phase 1 of the All game list have been completed. We ended with the SNES. I never owned a SNES but I have played it at a friends house from time to time 

The Games
Like the Genesis 16 bit games are the same as normal 8 bit games. I think game of the 90s are more or less the same.  There are some games that stood the test of time but most of them didn't age well at all. Most of them didn't age well

The Good 
Anything made by Nintendo is always the best games to play. Some fighting games and also some beat em ups. Racing is especially good on the SNES

The Bad
Everything else. Most of the games really are just too hard to be played and it is not really fun.

The Ugly
A lot of games that try to cash in on movies 

Conclusion

The SNES shows that Nintendo has a varied history and they do make awesome games. And with that also conclude phase 1 of the All game list. It is time to move to phase 2. Which is going to be a challenge as we move from the 16-bit to the 32-bit

Yoshi's Cookie

The final game of Phase 1 

Game no: 465
Genre: Puzzle
Platform: SNES
Release Date: 1992

This game is a match horizontal or vertical line until all the cookies are gone. It a simple game but it is also challenging. For every world that you finish you have a short animated clip of Mario chasing a cookie. That's fun/ this game is super straightforward so there is nothing much to complain. I give it a B-Rank and that's good enough for me.  

Top Gear

For a SNES game its not bad 

Game no: 464
Genre: Racing
Platform: SNES
Release Date: 1992

One of the good SNES racing game. You play a generic racing car and will race for 5 laps to catch the pole position. The racing is fast and the controls are tight. They tried to make two sequels and both of them doesn't have the same controls and gameplay as the first one. I played the game until I finish the whole race. I give this game an A-Rank. 

WRC 10

 Another year another WRC 

Game no: 463
Genre: Racing
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release Date: 2021

WRC celebrates in 50th years with WRC 10. A game where you drive worldwide and the objective is to try to get the best time on track. Honestly this is not the best racing game I played. That honor is for V-Rally 4 but it has all the normal rallying tropes. Fast cars with different classes, tracks with all types of weather condition. It has a season mode which just makes you race, quick race and also simulation mode. There is a way to set your difficulty low for inexperience players but even with that you are still facing a big challenge. 

The problem with this game is that is it not accessible to the average rally player. The controls as precise as they are is hampered by the realistic physics and tire damage. The tire damage is always been an issue but this game takes it to a whole new level. After a couple of racers your tires will degrade and it will make racing more difficult. In the end you'll either end up to be last or just did not finish the race. There is a anniversary mode where they play the best racers throughout the years. It's great to see what cars people race in the 70s. The problem is that the time to beat is near impossible. After the third race you can even beat it. I've seen clips on youtube that even with the best time is already a couple seconds to late. Oh and the switch version is filled with bugs. There is a bug where the rack will be quicksand and your car will be stuck there.    

In the end I played all the tracks that I was interested in a played every car. See what I need to see and call it a day. I consider it to be a okay racing game so I will give it a B-Rank. Nothing much to talk about

Clifford the Big Red Dog

This is a feel good movie

What is it about?
It is a magical story about being wanted and loved until you grow and grow 

The Good 
The story is good. It is a simple story to understand 
You may think people would freak out having a big dog roaming but it turns out people are cool with it 
Clifford is super adorable 
The villain plays a great villain. Just evil to the right amount evil

The Bad
How is this going to work? Who is going to pay for the dog. I mean there is a lot of explaining to do without very little explanation

The Ugly
CGI is quite bad but the dog is good

After Credits: No

Verdict: A lovely movie. A must watch 

Candyman

The song is better

What is it about?
Based on the urban legend on the same name

The Good

The story is okay 

The way they show the backstory in a form of puppetry 

The Bad
This movie is not that scary. But I think it caters to fans of the series

The Ugly

Nothing much 

After Credits: Yes. The whole credits is an after credit 

Verdict: You can avoid this movie. Nothing too special
