16Bit Tourney: Block 1 Hour 1
Wednesday Jan 28th 2009 marked the official start of the 16bit tournament.
Each week we will take 8 games and they will face off vs each other in a single elimination tournament of drama, nostalgia, hurt feelings, and crushed dreams.
This week we had Block #1 from our 16bit field of 64.
1st battle:
Super Mario World vs Clayfighter
Clayfighter held it's own, we found out that it won the award for "Best Street Fighter Wannabe" among others from EGM, plus we also learned Super Mario World's soundtrack was composed completely on an electronic keyboard from Koji Kondo. We also learned that Clayfighter did not stand much of a chance against Super Mario World.
Super Mario World def Clayfighter.
2nd battle:
Contra 3: The Alien Wars vs Jurassic Park
This battle featured the classic Contra franchise vs a movie turned into a game in Jurassic Park.
Jurassic Park featured surround sound and an awful ending which we spoil on the air. Considering the game had no save feature are you really going to play it through anyway? Although it looked like a sure win for Contra at first, when it came down to decision time Contra 3 only wins by 1 vote.
Contra 3 def Jurassic Park
3rd battle:
NBA Jam vs Super Star Wars
This was tough. Only because Super Star Wars is another movie adaptation to game, and people apparently love it! I thought NBA Jam would have swept this game but to my surprise NBA Jam squeeks by with 1 vote to spare.
NBA Jam def Super Star Wars
Turn the tape over for hour 2.
