Show Notes: 8bitX - History of Beat Em Ups
Shaun created this great site, and I think we will use this site for quite some time.
http://8bitx.com/beatemups/
Hour 1:
For the first hour we went through the origins of the Beat Em Up genre, and we also heard the debut of Jake the Juice at the Movies segment!
Music: Double Dragon, Battletoads, and more from OC Remix, Neskimos, and some classic 8bit music from Kung Fu.
Hour 2:
2nd hour we saw the conclusion of 1/2 of the new Steel Sterling, and next week Scent of Blood!We also had a guest creeper on reading the Creepy Craigslist of the week, and the defense of Renegade as one of the top beat-em-ups ever as I played the game live on air.
Music: Bad Dudes, Double Dragon from Nerd Army, Neskimos, OC Remix, Final Fight OC Remix, and plenty more that escape me!
*Note: forgot to add the DOD folder to the show, which is why no DOD on this weeks' show!!

I challenge anyone who deems Renegade as a terrible game to prove to me that you've actually #1 played the game on an NES and #2 lasted more than 2:00.

We also went through some Bad Dudes and compared the NSF files vs the NES sound directly. Boss battles were aired and commentated upon as they went down, 3-3 on the air!Contact me: 8bitextravaganza@gmail.com

Topic: History of Beat Em Ups
Of course we will focus on the NES, but this completely under-rated genre of video games has risen and fallen in our lives and why the hell not talk about it! I will bring to the table a Renegade Recap since I was able to beat the game on Monday. (All those following 8bitX on twitter already knew that.) Bring your fists of fury because IT'S CLOBBERIN TIME!!!

Zelda Podcast
[Well Excuuuuuuuuuse Me, Princess!!]
The 1st Hour of the Zelda Podcast will be put up again tonight when I return back from work, the wrong file was sent to the ftp server. I was listening at work and I found myself in shock because it is basically the unedited file, and lots of jumps in the music. I'll also be taking a look at the 2nd hour that was posted tonight too. Many apologies to the podcast audience.
Thanks,
8bitX

8bit Extravaganza Preview: History of Beat Em Ups
[UPDATE]
Ha! Renegade has fallen! Monday night I have conquered the obsession that was Renegade's hold over me. It all ended with a fist to the face of Sabu, who weilds a GUN and just shoots you. 1 hit and your are dead! I hope to have screens for you soon...
Renegade was not without gamer-rage though, as a classic controller throwing moment happened in the maze-like Mission 4.
Update on this line: I must destroy Kim, who knows, she could be the leader of a huge crime syndicate who kidnaps small children for ransom to pay for her numerous operations to become Abobo in Double Dragon. According to this walkthrough, "She's the long lost sister of Abobo from the 'Double Dragon' series. " -HA! and a note I did NOT use the walkthrough during my quest, I almost did but could not live with myself if I used the walkthrough.
HI Score: 390,000+ (game doesn't store it after you win)
[Renegade captures the feeling of a street fight perfectly]
This week on The 8bit Extravaganza we will be going over the History of the Beat Em Ups!
Check out the research that we've been doing:
[Classic]
[Check out the 8bitx twitter for updates on the progress of the Renegade quest]
I found a staircase that led to a huge woman/man that just keeps kicking my ass named Kim. She is a beast, and the toughest battle yet. You can skip her but I feel like that is just avoiding the fight, and no true master of Renegade can look themselves in the eye and say they have defeated Renegade and the whole time there is a room with a Boss there without their head kicked in. I must destroy Kim, who knows, she could be the leader of a huge crime syndicate who kidnaps small children for ransom to pay for her numerous operations to become Abobo in Double Dragon.
I cannot let this happen.
