GameJam - Willy Beamish Part 3

This is the part of the Willy Beamish play through and thank god for that.  I am on vacation so I lifted my two hour time limit to beat the game.  It took me two hours to get to a point where I found out I couldn't proceed.  After nearly 20 minutes of frustration, I switched to the superior PC version and it took me an hour to beat the game.

GameJam - Willy Beamish Part 2

Continuing my lack luster adventures of Willy Beamish for the Sega CD. I continue to play this version because I hate myself. I cover Day 2 and 3 of the game here.  All kinds of crazy stuff happens and the loading tests my patients.

GVN GameJam - Willy Beamish part 1

I started playing a game I literally haven't played in 20 years and I have decided to try and upon playing I forgot how weird this game was.  I also decided towards that GameJam for August that I will attempt to beat it.  Wish me luck.

GameJam - Sonic Chrono Adventure w/ OmegaNitro

I am joined by my friend OmegaNitro as we suffer through the weird and interesting world of Sonic Chrono Adventure.  We are befuddled quite often as we make our way through the game.  NOTE: I didn't realize the game's audio was coming across so loud on the PC, we manage to turn it down halway through the stream.

GameJam - Sonic Mega Mix w/ The Wife

Sonic Month continues with the most popular Sonic Rom Hack, Sonic Mega Mix.  It's an incredibly hard, buggy and somewhat fun rom hack that I swear was made to piss people off.

GVN Live Plus! Review: Project Diva X & Bombshell

GVN Review: Brave Battle Saga: Legend of the Magic Warrior (Sega Genesis)

Brave Battle Saga: Legend of the Magic Warrior
Sega Genesis
Developed by Chuanpu
1996

Brave Battle Saga, or "Barver" Battle Saga if you prefer, is a turn based RPG from a company you never heard, nor did it receive any official release outside of Taiwan, China and other various parts of southeast Asia.  It received a fan translation once it began circulating as a rom in the mid 2000's.  Eventually like tons of other Genesis games that never got an official Stateside release, it found itself a physical release as a reproduction cart.

Star Trek Month - Star Fleet Academy: Starship Bridge Simulator(32X)

Star Trek Starfleet Academy: Starship Bridge Simulator

We continue Star Trek talking about one of the few obscure titles in the franchise.  It isn't so much a game in the sense of the other titles that came out at the time, but it was more like.... well a simulator. Starfleet Academy actually takes place during the Original Series and you can tell because you never see a Efrosian in The Next Generation and beyond.

The votes are in. Star Trek Month begins next week.

After a good vote during the last GVN Soul Saturday stream plus combined votes from Facebook, here are the top 4 voted games.

Star Trek - NES
Star Fleet Academy
Star Trek Armada*
Star Trek 25th Anniversary

* Edit * Because of graphical issues, I had to swap out Armada with another game. I can't properly review a 10+ year old game if it's barely playable on modern PCs.

The review and stream schedule will go as follows:

Star Trek 25th Anniversary (PC) - Review Feb 4th / Live Stream Feb 5th

Star Fleet Academy (32X) - Review Feb 11th / Live Stream Feb 12th

Star Trek TNG (Sega Genesis) - Review Feb 18th / Live Stream Feb 19th

Star Trek (NES) - Review Feb 25th / Live Stream Feb 26th

Thank you for the votes and I can't wait to relive these wonderful games.
