    My brother actually got Spy Hunter and his NES at the same time.
    I don't know if it was a packaged deal or whatever. I know Nintendo bundled it with 2 controllers, Super Mario Bros and a Zapper gun.
    Best idea and value ever

  • @gatsuuga9
    @gatsuuga9 Před 9 lety +3

    I had Spy Hunter and Ikari Warriors as a kid too, and I loved them even though every gripe you have with them is true. I remember ABBA stopped working for my brother and I in stage 3, truly one of the most memorable gaming letdowns of my life

  • @mattorama
    @mattorama Před 10 lety +17

    The ending is a tribute to a story called "The Gift of the Magi." A broke couple are trying to get Christmas gifts for each other. The wife cuts her hair and sells it, which Frank references, to buy a chain for her husband's pocket watch. The husband sells his pocket watch to buy her some hair clips, which she can't use.

    @matrixandraia Před 10 lety +1

    Ahaha, I remember the rumors about being able to use the girl and ride the motorcycle in Spy Hunter. Also, I don't think we ever got past stage 3 in Ikari Warriors because of various glitches (like the aforementioned getting stuck in the environment). XD

    The first Ikari Warriors game ever played was Ikari Warriors 3, and at the time, I thought it was the coolest game ever... despite the fact that you start off with NO WEAPON! WTF SNK??? It took me lots of quarters to realize that I would never beat that first stage.

    Much like Pat, I had Ikari Warriors and I loved the arcade version but did admit that the NES one was broken, but since it had the continue code, I really didn't care. Plus my friend Mike and I could play this game at the same time! which was mind blowing for the NES since so many other games had turned into alternating play games.

  • @looshkin66
    @looshkin66 Před 11 lety +1

    glad to see Frank is finally starting to act a little better, his dialog is much more fluid now.
    Great episode Pat! You coming back up to portland anytime this summer? I have an old M82 unit that my mom got when sears closed down in Bend years ago. I wouldn't feel right selling it as i never really played on it, i just kept it as an oddity i a box. If you could promise me you'd never sell it i'd totally donate it to you. You have entertained me and my GF for 3 years now and i wanna pay you back

    Christmas in July is the time of the year, time to play Christmas music, no, I have two games "Ikari Warriors" and "Spy Hunter". In the first half "Spy Hunter" has no ending, but it is endless, just like they did with "Pac-Man", "Galaga", "Space Invaders" and a few others, no ending at all. "Ikari Warriors" does indeed have an ending.

    "Ikari Warriors" is a hard and tedious game when you continue, just hit "ABBA", the code which was used by a 70's Swedish group that did "Dancing Queen", "Mamma Mia", "Fernando", "Lay All Your Love On Me", "Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimme" and others. The game was made by the fans of ABBA.

    I was like 6 or 7 when i got my Genesis. I had no idea what is was. I was more excited about the power rangers all 5 (that was the first xmas w/ them). To find out my mom bought two sets of 5 and kept 5 as collectibles. still got them upstairs, they look brand new. I have no idea how she got them. All my friends that year got the pink and yellow rangers. I guess that was all they had.
