Mike, in Pipe Dream you want to use as little number of pieces as possible. If the distance is 16, the idea is to only use 16 pieces. For every piece you lay down that the the water doesn't flow through, you're losing those points at the end. You were finishing rounds with zero points because you were just dumping unused pieces all over the board. You need to be frugal in the number of pieces you use.

[@chewie1644]

I’ve been re-discovering this A-Z videos lately. How you make hundreds of hours of gaming vids and always provide entertainment is beyond me, keep up the great work Mike!

[@TheTaskmaster]

34:30 POW is one of my most played NES games. Repetitive but not overly due to weapons. Obvious clone but might just be better than any Double Dragon

[@TysonBegford]

Watching mike play pipe dream is like watching a deaf and blind birthday party of 5 year olds trying to hit a piñata.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

River City Ransom is one of my favorite NES games of them all. Super fun gameplay, RPG elements, good music, good hit detection in combat... it has it all!!

[@golden_eldorado]

I agree. I was surprised with how much you can do in the game with such small and funny characters; specially for an old game like this one. You can even repel objects thrown at you and throw enemies that lie on the floor.

[@noisetv1863]

I had NARC growing up, loved this game! (Still do!)

Pinbot was made after an actual pinball game table. It's easier to see what's going on if you watch a video or play the actual pinball game. It also had a sequel called Bride of Pinbot. Probably the best pinball games ever made. Also, if you didn't notice, that game on the NES was made by RARE, while the pinball table is a Williams table. Both, the top signs of quality. Pinbot was one of my favorite NES games growing up.

[@atranfanatic]

Yeah Pinbot and High Speed are a blast on the NES.

You can shape shift into an animal based on what weapon you are using in Ninja Crusaders. The shuriken turns you into a tiger who moves fast and can jump really high, the chain thing turns you into a scorpion which controls well underwater (for some reason), the staff turns you into a bird which flies over enemies and lets you get that sword in the first level. And the sword turns you into a dragon which is invincible and lets you fly past sections of the level. The game isn't great but I like the shape shifting aspect and the 2 player co op is always cool. Also, I think some of the music is really catchy.

[@bucketsoyeah]

North and south was one of the few games i had as a kid. I love it still

[@andrewalexander4331]

Pirates is an amazing game, it was my favourite NES game as a kid. You should give it some time, it's by Sid Meier, maker of Civilisation.

[@Chernobylkinsman]

Pirates is a great game, not a pick up and play without looking at instructions game though. Nothing wrong with that however.

[@paonquinho]

19:10 Ninja Kid is a modified version of "GeGeGe no Kitaro" for the Famicom, based on the decades-long running anime of the same name.

Crisis Force wasn´t on his list too, I think the best NES space shooter by Konami.

[@P1983sche]

Ah man I love the NARC game. I always got to Mr.Big at the end and died when I was a kid. If you make a good amount of arrests it helps you get the extra lives you need to beat the game. The arcade version looked awesome, never played that one before.

[@popscola2574]

There's nothing like a good 80s and 90s point and click game. The game football game for the switch is a decent but short point and click game that feels like an older game.

Missed Overlord, so far....... LOL kept the "Letter O right now" on screen for quite some time while playing "P" games, there's only four "O" games and he tried 3 of them (actually only 2).

I absolutely love his impressions, and also frustrations, and the tense/crazy moments, they get the Likes and Subs though

[@Jedah86]

Pirates! is actually very good and addictive game

[@KrunchyTheClown78]

Maybe Mike is thinking about Bad News Baseball. He even mentions it, but skips right past it in the A-D video.

[@that247life]

The best NES baseball game by far. And maybe the best cutscenes on the system, too.

Ahh so close to T. I’ve been trying to get you to play “Totally Rad” for the longest time since you’re a fan of the Mega Man series. Curious to see if you’ll like it, I enjoyed it a lot as a kid, also a fan of Mega Man of course.

That is odd, Operation Wolf is actually a light gun game, I remember playing it that way ages ago, and even with the gun, it was terribly inaccurate, sort of fun, but got frustrating after awhile. But, it is fun to see these games from throughout the years. =^.^=

[@mammalmutilator]

Aw shit, I'm watching this again and I completely forgot about Ninja Kid... I had that game when I was a kid. Fuckin' dope game. At least that's how I remember it..

[@bryanna72]

I think with pipe dream, once the screen flashes you are OK with a win. It's about keeping it going until then I believe.

[@xXSupahXFlyXx]

Hey mike you probably wont see this but in ninja crusaders if you hold the attack button you turn into a different animal depending on the weapon you have.

[@MeatWisdom]

- It's funny you skipped over RoboCop 2 and 3 because they're arguably even worse than the first game (but you CAN jump in both games). RC2 uses the same engine and graphics as Darkman, while RC3 is really short but also hard as balls because you have no continues. However, the title screen music for RoboCop 3 is legit one of my favorite songs on the NES. You can listen to it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGiYZZKXlMZ0fqM - Each time you die in Nightshade you get put into progressively harder to solve death traps. They basically serve as "lives," and the final trap is completely inescapable. For the first one you need to kick the off switch with your foot when it's in range of it. The combat system is probably the game's worst aspect, which sucks because it's an otherwise decent point and click game. - In Ren & Stimpy: Buckaroos, the first level (and every Space Madness level after that) is actually an escort mission. You have to get Ren to the yellow door, and you better make damn sure you use the spring item to get him past any of those teleporters you see, because the game WILL force you into that Shmup minigame every time you want to pass through one.

[@codyb.3015]

Never played Pipe Dream on nes before watching this, and it's as fun as Adventures of Lolo, super addictive. (Also, Mike never got that you could drop blocks into the same spot and replace them, makes the game more fun)

[@DjDizzy216]

RBI Baseball is the NES baseball game everyone talks about but Bad News Baseball was the best on the NES. Rabbit umpires that bark when there's an out. Can't get better than that.

You should stream Dark Castle it's so terrible it would be hilarious and the AVGN video was so funny

Puzznic was one of my favorite games as a kid, had it on a multi cart when i was like 3 called Arbian Nights 1001 in 1. Definitely would make a good stream if you tried to beat it.

Mike, Palamedes is great but your not doing it right. The blocks are dice. When you take out a block it goes to that row on the bottom below your character. Try to make combinations like poker or yhatzee and when you have one, i believe you push down.
