MOVIE POSTER FRIDAY!!!
SPECIAL NINTENDO EDITION!

MEGA-MAN
Photobucket

This cover was not good. The game is amazing and set trends for the NES. But the cover was bad. Even laughable to a point for what this game was really like. It should have looked like this:


MEGA-MAN
Photobucket
I have no idea where this cam from. Found it by accident. But it's wicked. And it represents the game very well.

But there were other games that had covers that stunk. They may have had great games contained in them...



COLOR A DINOSAUR
Photobucket

The coloring book was not enough. The modern kid needed the precision of the NES controller to color detailed pictures. I'll bet people working at the store kept getting asked, "What is this game about?".


ARCTIC PENGUIN & SEAL ADVENTURE
Photobucket

What's that penguin going to do with that diamond? Why does the walrus looking seal want it? Did the seal steal the club from a fur trader? So many questions!


BEE 52
Photobucket

Well, it comes with a free poster! It's gotta be good!


DONKEY KONG JR's MATH
Photobucket

How many Grandma's bought this. How many sad children were their Christmas morning. How many I ask you?


10 Yard Fight
Photobucket

Is it just me, or does it look like you have to run around and catch turds?


BABY BOOMER
Photobucket

"Best rated light gun game". With a baby. Fun Fact: This game sells for over 100 bucks. This is also the only game that says, "Don't Shoot The Nuggets!"


WEREWOLF: THE LAST WARRIOR
Photobucket

Horrifying bright yellow! The artist ran out of time and said, "I know! He'll bust out of the package and I won't have to draw a background!"


DRAGON FIGHTER
Photobucket

This was the last picture taken of the Dragon Fighter.


A BOY AND HIS BLOB
Photobucket

Give the blob jelly beans and he turns into many things. And judging by the kids face, the umbrella is not working. This game is as frustrating as "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" is for the ATARI 2600.


CAPTAIN SKYHAWK
Photobucket

Is that a badly drawn Tie-Fighter in the corner?


ANTICIPATION
Photobucket

Will it be a game with playing, let alone dropping 50 bucks for it? the ANTICIPATION is to great! And the girl in the center is about to do the "5 dollar foot long" thing.


THE ADVENTURES OF GILLIGAN'S ISLAND
Photobucket

While Gilligan's distracted, is the Skipper signing for you to pass a joint or drop your pants?


BLACKJACK
Photobucket

Which do I comment on: The woman with a water fountain coming out of her head, the Sheik and the houseboy having a moment or the cowboy who had a stroke?


BAD STREET BRAWLER
Photobucket

Being beaten by a guy wearing a golden vest and shorts must be humiliating...


DEATHBOTS
Photobucket

You know the game is no where as wicked as this cover.


ZOMBIE NATION
Photobucket

As well as this game, too...


BANANA PRINCE
Photobucket

The blond haired girl knows why this game it called "Banana Prince"


DAY DREAM'IN DAVEY
Photobucket

YAAAAAAAAAAAY! I'm Special!


BIBLE ADVENTURES
Photobucket

And lo, Moses dropped a boat on his foe and allowed a midget to whip him.


BIBLE BUFFET
Photobucket

When I think about God and religion, food running around is what comes to mind. Especially those from Fast Food land. Why was this not covered in "The 10 Commandments"?


CHEETAH MEN 2
Photobucket

They're back! And you didn't even know they were here in the first place! And this is why Andrew Lloyd Webber is not allowed to make video games.


AMAGON
Photobucket

I don't even know where to begin on this one.


S.C.A.T.
Photobucket

You know you have a good idea what the game will be like when it's called "Scat"...


COWBOY KID
Photobucket

Their love broke many of the rules of the old west. For use with the power glove.


BUBBLE BATH BABES
Photobucket

Games like these build that "hand/eye" co-ordination.

Fun Fact: This game sold for over 500 dollars on Ebay. It was also re-released as "Mermaids Of Atlantis" with bras added.


There you have it.


Now go see "Iron Man".

And catch "Possible Oscar's" show this weekend.

And see "Iron Man" again.

YAAAAAAAAY!! This is awesome.

David Crane wrote (or co-wrote) "A Boy and his Blob." This is why I got it, cuz dude, muddavugga made Pitfall. I haven't played it in years.

I have "Bible Adventures." It's truly truly creepy.

I think if I were to combine any two of these games into a new game, I would make "BIBLE BATH BABES."

That would, sadly, probably sell amazingly well.

It's covered in "The 10 Condiments". :P

Aah, I see Baby Boomer was made by Color Dreams. I remember a big stink back then when Color Dreams came out because they were doing some unauthorized hacking with the NES to get it to display more colors than it was supposed to. As a result none of their games were released with the Nintendo Seal Of Approval. I never played (or heard of) Baby Boomer but I played a couple of their other games. They were AWFUL.

And I'd also like to point out it's not Gilligan's Island. It's The Adventures Of Gilligan's Island. Apparently the island will have an adventure whether there's a shipwrecked crew on it or not.

Thanks! I corrected that!

Color Dreams put out a lot of games, I noticed when looking around.

A boy and his blob is fun...stupid but fun, I own it. The bible adventure games (and those by the same maker Wisdom Tree) were surprisingly fun considering the concept behind them, you at least have to give them back.

And if you think Bubble Bath Babes is bad....try Custer's Last Stand

1) I want to play Dragon Fighter & Zombie Nation
2) Banana Prince almost made me piss myself as I was scrolling down
3) This "God" character on the Bible Adventures poster would make the best tattoo ever. Clearly, he has the power.
