Hey, hey! It’s Wednesday?
November 22nd, 2006 by xamountSince tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the States, it looks like the big content update is happening a day early this week. The update appears to be, umm, stuffed with delicious new games? We hope you go back for… seconds? Would you like some cranberry sauce with that controller? Sorry. On with the update.
First, we’ve got a nice collection of family-friendly games from Humongous. Those be good for little three-year-old xamount jr. He already plays a lot of Reader Rabbit. (And Time Pilot, actually. But he mainly just crashes into the enemy and laughs.)
Then we’ve got one of my favorite childhood arcade games, Ikari Warriors. Consider this one a crucial part of the xamount Safeway collection: the games at the grocery store that was only a bike ride away. Man that control scheme was revolutionary — it felt miles beyond Commando (even though they were released only a year apart). I had no idea there were Ikari sequels, but we’ve got ‘em.
I still need to finish Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, but it’s nice to know that 2004’s Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within is waiting for me when I’m done. Gotta love that wall-running stuff.
Finally, oh yes. Here we go. My favorite Sealab 2021 episode of all time: All That Jazz. It gets no better than this one, folks. Mingus Dew! And I say to myself, I need exact chaaaaange.
