DreamGear 75-in-1 Review Part 1

Oh noes.

OH NOES!

Yes. The DreamGear 75-in-1, what could possibly be considered a torture device for those too poor and lazy to buy real consoles. OK, not quite, but it's still pretty horrible nontheless. A lot of the games stored within are so generically bad that this is probably not the best multigame thing to review, but I'm going to anyway because no one else wants to and I'm bored.
There are 75 games and no repeats, but with how bad most of these games are it doesn't matter how many of them are included. One thing that's important to point out is that certain games on this won't work on most emulators and require EmuVT (which CaH4e3 has on his website) to run. To understand how bad this thing really is, I'll start whipping these games off one by one (figuratively speaking, of course) and then write the obligatory and nonsensical conclusion.
Oh, and you'll find that with these games there are a few themes that run throughout:
- Mediocre graphics

- Terrible sound
- The most mundane gameplay this side of the Magnavox Odyssey

Supervision 52-in-1 Review

Deja ju?
About time I made a new one, so apologies to my 2 followers. :P Now today, I'm gonna be reviewing a 52-in-1 multicart for the NES. And no, it's not that game everyone and their uncle has reviewed on Youtube already, but rather the 52-in-1 multicart from Supervision. For those of you who don't know, Supervision was a company that made other multicarts such as Supervision 16-in-1 (the best pirated multicart ever made if you ask me) and a 115-in-1 among others. One major flaw with a lot of pirated multicarts is that they'll include about 6 first-gen Famicom games and repeat them over and over much to the bemusement of whoever's playing it. With this multicart, not so much, as I'll demonstrate in a bit.
Right away, the image I used will give away the fact that the menu is almost identical to the one Action 52 uses. I think that POS ripped this one off, but that's a debate for another time. In fact, you could sort of consider this multicart to be the Asian equivalent of A52, except this is infinitely better of course as the games are ripped off as opposed to being original. Well actually, I think Caltron 6-in-1 is closer to being that but whatever. One other thing you'll notice is that the people at Supervision don't exactly have the best English skills around, what with such classics like "Grading," "Gyrooine" and of course, "City Conect." Then again, you'd probably expect that from a pirated multicart anyway. Moving on, let's detail the games themselves and see if this thing's worth buying or not.

'An Excellent Blog'


To quote the excellent Chef Excellence. But anyway, I felt that I needed to express my craziness through blogging... and now... the Cheetahmen. Moving on, I decided to make this about gaming (Retro especially) and occasionally something that isn't that. (At least I know what punctuation is unlike most of the idiots who inhabit the interwebs) Also, I want to personally attack numerous games that I feel are so awful that I can't describe into words, although I want to try to achieve that anyway. Of course, to make it less boring I will include some pictures and various other things as well. Specifically, I'll document retro games that I own/have owned, pirate games (Somari at least, as I feel that it hasn't already gnawed away my sanity enough) and some Doom WADs. (Where's all the data, in case you're wondering what the acronym stands for)
Gotta love the outdated image I used, BTW.
