Bad Dudes

Tonight we tried Bad Dudes from Data East! (Bad Dudes?) Bad Dudes is one of those games if you've played Double Dragon and then have tried it, you might think lesser of Bad Dudes. This game is a quality title however. The controls are a little stiff, and when multiple enemies attack you are going to take damage. I have yet to master the spinning helicopter kick, so this may only be a temporary frustration.

This is one of the most intense title screens I've ever seen on the NES. Is there any question about what is about to go down? I go 1 player tonight, since the wife is not game for some Bad Dude's action. Come to think about it, title screens like this are probably why women are scared of video games hahaha. Run muhahahah yes there is testosterone in this room and we're going to kick some ass!! CHEST BUMP!! HULK SMASH!!!!

[Striker > Blade]

I select Striker since I have bad luck with Blade. I think it stems back from my neighbor who actually had the game, Shaun, always picking Blade. Blade sucks for me. I don't know the difference between the two but I do know that Striker kicks ass, and Blade is a failed American Gladiator who is moonlighting in trying to rescue the President from ninjas. You can't rescue the president on a part-time job. That is just as useless as Blade is to me. Go try out for Street Fighter II and get your ass handed to you by Guile.

[Level 4 PWND]

So last night on the show, History of Beat Em Ups, I mentioned getting to Level 4 where the big metal boss destroys your face with an amazing standing 720 somersault dropkick. The way to defeat him is to do the helicopter kick, walk away, come back, and then kick him again. On the 2nd kick he will start the dropkick and you gotta get outta there. Rinse and Repeat.

The next level must be close to the end. This level is throwing wayyyyyy to much at me in order for it to be just another level. A tell-tale sign is that there was a boss in the level. That pretty much only happens toward the end of the game.

[The white lump on the right hand side of the green train is all that is left of my efforts tonight]

Too bad I died after trying this level time and time again, using up all my lives and continues. This shot was of the last time, before game rage would take over and something would be hurled at something expensive.

Progress: Level 5 (Train Level 2/3 way through I guess)

Interesting note, as I was taking these pics I noticed that the cable box looked just a tv show....

[Ninjas have kidnapped the president. Am I a Bad enough Dude to rescue him?]

I found after playing Renegade and writing up a recap of it, I discovered I really enjoyed putting down my thoughts on "paper" and publishing the trials and triumphs on the site.

We've always added game content related to shows, (8bit tourney, 16bit tourney, Game Rage, Games we've never played, halloween, thanksgiving, xmas, Street Fighter Tribute, and many more ), and I think it would be awesome to have up a blog for between shows just about video game quests.

Now as we go through the History of Beat Em Ups, I will be playing selections from our list, and recapping the action on these pages.

Next Challenge: Bad Dudes

Hope you enjoy!
