Super Castlevania Video

Game Play-Through

@lordKayoss’s Super Castlevania Video

Lab Work – Super Castlevania Video – Castelvania IV Coverage

Dive into the Super Castlevania IV Video, a 1994 Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) epic adventure.

Quick Take

Gamestop or Ebay classic game choice, pick up any of the Castlevania games in the series (regardless of console). Simon Belmont vs Dracula, like Tom and Jerry, Batman and The Joke, classic good vs evil game. This game is truly an epic, genre defining game. Remaining relevant today for you gamers out there. Specifically, those that enjoy Metroid-vania style games. Including these titles: The Last Faith, Blasphemous I, II and more.

Furthermore, a great follow up to the NES/Game Boy series games: NES – Castlevania I, II, III GB – Castlevania I, II. There were a few arcade games I never got the chance to play in the arcade, which is a bummer… So, for reference there is a huge jump between GB Castlevania II and SNES Super Castlevania IV and Dark Souls for example.

The Castlevania Series

Those of you who are new to the Castlevania series, or new title, be prepared for an adventure. The goal is taking down Dracula and his minions. Do so, be agile, climb, jump, dispatch enemies quickly and solve puzzles. The games ‘in series’ are fairly quick to play/playthrough. The older games, in my opinion are a little less forgiving unless you’ve built up a toolkit on ‘how to solve’ the enemy ‘ai’ (enemy IQ, or artificial intelligence).

Additionally, my two cents, like the Mario (watch any early SNES/NES even PS or XBox speed-run, this will help to show specifically enemy IQ or ai), most of the early games have patterns and similar enemy IQ, just find the pattern and dispatch of the enemies accordingly.

Next, thanks for the coverage @lordkayoss, love the video and voice over, this was one of the first games I completed back in 1994 or 1995. In any case, check out the Lordkayoss playlist on YouTube… You can always see our video playlists, or check the video category on our website.

Super Punch Out Video

Full Play-through

@lordkayoss Does Super Punch Out Boxing in 4k

Video – Watch Super Punch Out

Super Punch Out Video, @lordkayoss’s play-through by Nintendo from 1994.

Quick Take

First, I never had a chance to play Super Punch Out, so this is a game I’ve always wanted to play. Shout out to @lordkayoss for putting this video together, as I mentioned this game was on the bucket list per se, as I’ve always wanted to play the game… goal being playing another boxing game as successful as the original Mike Tyson’s Punch Out! I think Kayoss does a fantastic job presenting another epic play-through. @Zallard1’s blindfold runs are epic, making Super Punch Out boxing lore even more exciting. Kayoss guides us through the double circuit, with the first circuit serving as a warm-up or training round.

The second circuit features CPU AI that changes offensive and defensive strategies, unlike the first circuit. It’s great to see Super Punch Out back on the list of videos to watch.

I recommend checking out @lordKayoss’s play-through. Additionally, @Zallard1 showcases a blindfolded run of Nintendo Punch-Out!! Wii Boxing. Yes, blindfolded. Check that out.

Stay tuned I’ll cover @LordKayoss Super Castlevania IV play-through in the next few weeks. A quick shout out to Kayoss for the Super Punch Out coverage. Watch this video and more on YouTube or explore other videos in the video category.

Play Super Off Road

Take A Chance At Duke’s Off Road Cup

Big Dukes – Play Super Off Road

Lab Work – Play Super Off Road

Might be Top 3. Go back and celebrate one of the best SNES games, play SUPER OFF ROAD, watch BIG DUKES – SUPER OFF ROAD.

Quick Take

Play Now! Play Super Off Road now! SOR is a RC Pro AM style game (a game similar to RC Pro Am) except, RC Pro is much more difficult. It’s all relative, and that hasn’t changed since my RC Pro AM days.

First, I can’t remember which course on Big Duke’s I liked the most, the water, the hay stacks… it’s been sometime… but my money was on the Blue Truck. Off Road was a great game, and the play-through is only a glimpse in time.

The game itself is still a masterpiece, still today, a fantastic game. It had a cool idea, a great racing theme, ease-of-use (relative to playing the game more than an hour or so). Control can be a little funky. But… a great implementation, design and truck racing game… more importantly you as the driver could improve the performance of the truck by investing in the following upgrades like Nitro’s, Acceleration (Engine), Tires, Top Speed, and Shocks. Hint – Nitro, Tires and Acceleration were my go to upgrades.

Street Fighter II Turbo Video

Become The Street Fighter II Turbo Tournament Champion

@retroTech07 Street Fighter Fans

Lab Work – Street Fighter II TURBO Video

Let’s discuss some Street Fighter updates.

Quick Take

Best fighting game, Top Five Games of All Time. Let’s quickly get to the heart of the post, The Street Fighter II Turbo video, the series is my favorite fighting series, with the best combos and possibly ranking number one on the all time list. Mario Kart? NHL, I haven’t discussed NHL in a while, but it’s definitely in the top one or two games of all time.

My favorite character? Either Ryu or Ken. They have great strength and combo sets… If there’re already chosen, E Honda or Blanka would be my second choice. It’s important to have a strong second character just in case. Honestly, I can play with all the characters at this point.. but those are my favorites.

My favorite opponent? That would be Guile, I enjoy the stage, the background and his move set.

My favorite game in the series is SNK vs Capcom Street Fighter on Dreamcast.

My least favorite boss on The Street Fighter II Turbo game? Probably M. Bison followed by Balrog. Balrog can be a real challenge in SFII until you get used to his moves, then comes Sagat the kickboxer and M. Bison. M. Bison can be tough, until you figure out the patterns, combos and fighting strategy. Overall, all the characters are challenging until you grasp the basics like combos and patterns.

If you get a chance to play any games in this series, go for it. Street Fighter 2, 2 Turbo might be the best, followed by SNK vs Capcom and the new SF 6. In my opinion, SF 6 is very different from the earlier versions, including Street Fighter 1 back in 1987.

While the core is remains the same and character moves have starting points, the versions of the moves are different. The game has evolved over time, especially with the inclusion of specials. I’ll leave it at that.

Thanks to @RetroTech07, @Retro takes up this epic challenge, Street Fighter II Turbo walkthrough.
