For those of you not aware of Little Master, its a Flash cricket game, and pretty addictive it is too.
Here, England cricket legend and grumpy old man Geoff Boycott shows steadfast, resolute defense whilst playing the game. You could pay money just to watch it.

This is where the longplay unravels ever so slightly. Screw re-records, because failure is always funny... well, almost always. This part contains the killer Desert Palace, which is every bit as annoying as its Link to the Past counterpart, and then some. Undeterred, we trek on and are rewarded by a brush with royalty. Splendid, this is pleasant!
By this point Id already played through the whole game, which afforded me some Mystic Meg-style foresight into Chapter 4. Hopefully I didnt give too much away in saying we have to defeat Ganon, because I dont believe Ive played a Zelda game that doesnt cast him as the main antagonist.
Also in this part: feeling sorry for thieves; the magic bee returns; reminiscing upon past inglories; flaunting our rusty sword; desert survival tips; our weekly puzzle failure; harassing the fortune teller; swimming pool health and safety and Sakayama the Mole. Sounds pretty good, doesnt it? Well believe me, as with most Harry Yack uploads, it really aint. :P
Actually, I quite like this part and think its the best yet. Chapter 4 is also pretty good, but you cant have any pudding if you dont eat your meat. How can you have any pudding if you dont eat your meat?!")

Halloween is fast approaching, and do you know what that means? Yes, its time to break out the clichéd classical music and tenuous links to ghosts, zombies and beasts that just generally prowl in the night.
This particular creature patrols the streets of San Andreas all day long, terrorising pedestrians with some random implement he found in his garden shed. What is it? Well, I would say youd have to watch the video to find out, but the answers actually in the title. Oh well.")

Were in the closing stretches of this relatively obscure Link to the Past spin-off, and this final part sees us preparing for the final battle with the Big Pig Man himself, Ganon the Gluttonous. Along the way to the porkmasters tower, we discuss a variety of topics including the Magical Cape conspiracy, the Hyrule Screwfix catalogue(!) and the Lucozade of Power, which affords us some (fairly) useful advantages.
The final two dungeons of the game arent as difficult as you might expect, though there are quite a few pitfalls and cheap traps that I do actually fall for in this take. Whoops. Well, I make the mistakes so you dont have to. Heh, the pretense that youre using this as a walkthrough is running pretty thin now, eh?
Also in this part: shameless grave robbing; heart puzzle protips; more moaning about Turtle Rock; benefits/drawbacks of the Magic Hammer; revenge of the Turd Slugs; switch hunting with Brian Blessed; sexual equality in the workplace; Ebeneezer Scroogin with Sakayama the Mole; Hyrule thieves trade system; more buyers remorse at the fortune tellers house and the final battle that will decide the fate of Hyrule. For five minutes.")

![SLOWEST GOLF EVER! PGA Tour 96 [Mega Drive] video review](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ASdtFroMVH4/mqdefault.jpg "SLOWEST GOLF EVER! PGA Tour 96 [Mega Drive] video review
The year was 1995, and everyone was so excited about the Playstation and 3DO theyd sell their granny to even so much as try one. Amid all this hype, EA Sports attempted to launch PGA Tour 96, with its revolutionary vector graphics, for the ageing Mega Drive.
Whilst this was indeed a bold attempt at pushing the console to its limits, the downsides were all too obvious for anyone who tried to play the game for more than ten minutes. After the initial wow, look at those fantastic graphics! factor, players would soon realise the thing runs about as quickly as Geoff Capes in a fat suit on a rain-sodden Hackney Marshes. Whilst local kids throw wet sponges and rotten fruit at him.
These new graphical enhancements took their toll on the MDs processor to the extent it could take anything from 8 to 20 seconds just for the scenery to appear. The Spyglass Hill course in particular, with its ten million trees and bunkers, takes longer to load than Renegade on the Amstrad CPC464. Which is pretty long, and not half as enjoyable.")

Your kids trading card game infected with terrible translations and typos worse than a Harry Yack video description? Better call the doctor... Doctor Aochider AKA Okada AKA Aochidyer! The game itself is somewhat vague about the standardised spelling.
Video split into four parts due to the whole thing being over an hour long. Note to self for future: brevity wins the internet.
In this part: 001 Incon to 026 White.

Requested by Fawltykog, its the definitive strategy guide.
Join Harry Yack as he re-visits this Amstrad classic in another attempt to be inducted into the Amsoft Hall of Fame. It isnt all plain sailing, as he soon finds the machine is rigged to pay out only 33% of the advertised winnings. He chooses not to complain, however, as he remembers he is under the age of 18 and is liable to have it all taken away from him.")
