I started to watch hockey with my father in the very early 90’s before he passed away. I don’t think he had a favorite team, I think he only watched for the fights. He watched whatever team that aired over cable TV in the Tri-State area which consisted of four teams, the New York Rangers, … Continue reading NHL 94

#AltredBeast Genre #BeatEmUp Developed by Sega Published by Sega Released in #1992 Rating 3 out of 10 In ancient Greece the lord of the underworld Neff, as kidnapped the the king of the gods Zeus' daughter Athena. Zeus awakes a centurion warrior and bestows to him the power of transforming into powerful beasts. With his power he sets off into the underworld to defeat Neff and rescue the goddess Athena. This was originally a Sega arcade game which was ported over to the Genesis. If you bought a Sega Genesis in it's early run this game was boxed with it. I think a lot of people have nostalgia glasses on when they think of this game and that's ok. If you enjoyed this game then I'm happy you, but I think it sucks. First off, this is a chapter in my second book which I'm currently writing. Secondly, as a fan of #GreekMythology wtf is going on with the story? Wtf is Neff? Who is going to kidnap the goddess of war Athena? Why is Zeus resurrecting a centurion and not calling on a spartan or perhaps a Greek demigod hero of old? These are questions I can't answer but it doesn't matter, the gameplay is lackluster and very boring. The best part of the game is transforming into a beast and it lasts just a few minutes and then you face a boss. It goes from easy to hard pretty quick but the game could be finished in about an hour. It is at least iconic to me because I'll never forget Zeus saying "Rise from your grawve", unfortunately I'll also remember the shitty and boring gameplay. #Sega #Genesis #VideoGames #Games #Gamer #Gaming #GamersLife #Retro #Classic #RetroGames #ClassicGames #InstaGamer #90s #Handsome_Rob_7 #TCOAG #GOGP #Handsome_Rob_7_The_Genesis_Years
#AlisiaDragoon Genre #Action #Adventure Developed by #GameArts Published by Sega Released in #1992 Rating 10 out of 10 Alisia is the daughter of a sorcerer who has imprisoned the main villain, Baldour, in a cocoon and sent it into outer space. Her father is in turn tortured to death by Baldour's followers. When the villain crashes back to the planet and begins to awaken, Alisia sets out to defeat him and his followers. I wanted this game purely on the box art. I'm a sucker for any kind of fantasy art like this. It probably goes back to the film "Fire and Ice" which was drawn by the legendary Frank Frazetta and directed by Ralph Bakshi. I begged my mom for this game and she eventually bought it for me. This game was my new obsession, though Alisia doesn't exactly look like her box art counterpart it didn't matter. The bright colors, fantastic gameplay and soundtrack really makes this a beautiful game. The game takes some getting used to due to the controls but once you understand them your kicking ass. The game is also pretty challenging and there are many paths to take including secret ones which lead to power ups and extra lives. Exploration and managing your attack stamina is the key to success. This is one of my favorite Genesis games ever and I highly recommend it. #Sega #Genesis #VideoGames #Games #Gamer #Gaming #GamersLife #Retro #Classic #RetroGames #ClassicGames #InstaGamer #90s #Handsome_Rob_7 #TCOAG #GOGP #Handsome_Rob_7_The_Genesis_Years
🌧 #SundayMorning 🎮 #RedDeadRedemption2 #FuriousOFlahertys I have been going for the only trophies in Red Dead Redemption 2 with my posse appropriately named the Furious O'Flaherty's which is actually my family's true last name. In the game and in my own storyline which is based on real life, we came over from #Galway #Ireland and started a small posse which consists of my brother, my step dad and my boy Charlie. As leader of the posse we are trying to be honorable but will be dishonorable when push comes to shove. The online is fun but as usual in multiplayer games you have your few proper assholes. The trophies are rather simple except for the trophy "The Real Deal", at least for me to be honest. Trying to be MVP is hard in Red Dead Redemption 2 because it's not exactly clear what makes you MVP. I have been in first place many times, had the most kills and even one first place in a horse race but never won an MVP award. The trophy requires you to win it 3 times. I'm sure I'll get it but for now this picture speaks a thousand words. #PlayStation #PlayStation4 #PSN #Gaming #Gamer #Games #GamerLife #VideoGames #Photo #Picture #Photo #Photography #GOGP #Handsome_Rob_7 #InstaGamer #TCOAG #WildWest #Western #Cowboy #WesternFrontier #ArthurMorgan
🌧 #SaturdayMorning 🎮 #GameOfTheYear #GodOfWar I have to say that in 2018, God of War is my pick for game of the year. Being a fan since the very first game back in the PS2 era, I was hesitant on a 4th main game in the franchise. I wanted something new, another mythology to explore and a new hero with a new adventure. When I heard that #Kratos was back and with a son I was excited. Then he made his way into #NorseMythology and I was overwhelmed with joy. Then I thought how weird it would be to have God of War without Kratos. As long as they keep changing the gameplay and creating an immersive storyline I'll always be engaged with the franchise. My other all close favorites are . #RedDeadRedemption2 a true western classic with great detail and phenomenal story. . #AssassinsCreedOdyssey a great game in my favorite setting and mythology. Kassandra was my pick . #SpiderMan this game is everything Arkham Knight tried to be and one of my favorite superheroe games ever . #PlayStation #PlayStation4 #PSN #Gaming #Gamer #Games #GamerLife #VideoGames #Photo #Picture #Photo #Photography #GOGP #Handsome_Rob_7 #InstaGamer #TCOAG #WildWest #Western #Cowboy #WesternFrontier #ArthurMorgan
