NES-Hard ~ CASTLEVANIA III: DRACULAS CURSE - (Episode 6) MrMatthews 2024-10-05 | It's been a while since I talked about hard NES games. I happened to play through Castlevania III earlier this year in preparation for Halloween, and it occurred to me that it was one of the games from that list of "NES Hard" games I compiled a few years ago!#castlevania #nes #halloween
Kid Dracula, Gremlins 2, and Beetlejuice ~ THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE GAMEBOY MrMatthews 2024-09-07 | It's very nearly the Halloween season; not quite close enough to start carving the pumpkins, but certainly close enough to start priming the engine. Here's a few games that I think are appropriate for the Halloween pre-season.#gameboy #beetlejuice #halloween
Mega Man IV and Castlevania II: Belmonts Revenge ~ The Good, The Bad, The GameBoy MrMatthews 2024-08-17 | There are many long-running series in the GameBoy's library, but which games are the best in those series? ... well, THESE games are the best (according to some)#gameboy #megaman #castlevania #retrogaming
Bart Simpson, Skateboards, and Animal Mascots ~ The Good, The Bad, and The GameBoy MrMatthews 2024-08-03 | In this episode we'll look at three more GameBoy games based on trends from the early 90s; a time when The Simpsons was at peak popularity, all the cool kids had a skateboard, and a certain spiky blue rodent was making everyone rethink what a platforming game was supposed to be like.#gameboy #retrogaming
The GameBoys Uncanny Bubble Bobble-Likes ~ The Good, The Bad, The Gameboy MrMatthews 2024-07-13 | It might be a stretch to say that EVERYONE loves Bubble Bobble, but certainly it was successful enough that it was proceeded by a number of games that clearly copied its homework … some more egregiously than others.#gameboy #retrogaming
The Rise of Kirby ~ The Good, The Bad, and The GameBoy MrMatthews 2024-06-29 | Here are three games that were key titles in Kirby's rise to becoming one of the most prolific video game characters of all time. Heck, I'll even throw in a fourth game this time.#kirby #gameboy #retrogaming

Halloween Games: Retro Favorites MrMatthews 2023-10-16 | This Halloween season I'm taking a look at some of my all-time favorite spooky games.This is a full remake of a trilogy of Halloween-theme games I very roughly threw together years ago.#halloween #retrogaming
Motocross Maniacs and Other Games For the Elderly ~ The Good, The Bad, The GameBoy MrMatthews 2023-09-22 | Despite compelling evidence that adults in the 80s were not a viable customer base, Nintendo gently targeted grown-ups with a healthy selection of GameBoy games that blurred demographic lines. Mom & Dad might not be interested in Mario or Castlevania, but they might be compelled to purchase a game or two with a lower barrier of entry; games that fit the more fickle tastes and schedules of busy American adults.This meant that the GameBoy had a ton of adult-friendly sports games and puzzle games. Today we’ll look at a few GameBoy titles that, while probably not specifically targeted at grown-ups, could potentially appeal to kids and adults alike.#gameboy #retrogaming
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Toxic Crusaders ~ The Good, The Bad, The GameBoy MrMatthews 2023-08-04 | In this episode we'll celebrate the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the GameBoy, and everything that was great (and sometimes kind of crappy) about being a kid of the 80s and 90s.#gameboy #tmnt #retrogaming
Mega Man & Mega Man II ~ The Good, The Bad, and The GameBoy MrMatthews 2023-07-06 | Everyone knows all Mega Man games are awesome ... except for the games that aren't awesome and I hate them. That's right, we're talking about Mega Man games today. In this video I'll examine a good game and a bad one. And maybe I'll talk about other stuff too, who knows?I used this song in the video:Offworld by HurricaneTurtlehurricaneturtles.bandcamp.comPromoted by @RoyaltyFreePlanet - royaltyfreeplanet.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0http://bit.ly/RFP_CClicense#gameboy #megaman #retrogaming
Batman vs Superman ~ The Good, The Bad, and The GameBoy MrMatthews 2023-06-09 | Both Batman and Superman appeared at least once on the GameBoy. One of them came close to discovering his superpowers; the other was almost as much fun as hanging out in a dark alley behind the movie theater.#gameboy #batman #superman #retrogaming
Battletoads and Castelian ~ The Good, The Bad, and The GameBoy MrMatthews 2023-04-28 | I figure it's high-time I dust off my (nearly complete) GameBoy collection and start exploring everything I love (and don't love) about the system and its library. In this episode I'll take a look at a trio of games from developers across the pond.#gameboy #retrogaming

A Very Retro Halloween (Halloween Games IV) MrMatthews 2022-10-22 | I play the same games every year, but maybe it's time to dig through my collection and see if there's anything else worth adding to the annual rotation.#halloween #retrogaming

Games Ive Beaten in 2022 (so far) MrMatthews 2022-07-15 | Why wait until next January to start talking about the games I've been playing all year? Here are the games I've beaten in the first half of 2022.I tried out something new with the camera footage for this video ... unfortunately it was a gamble that didn't really pay off. I realized my mistake too late to save this video, but at least now I have the experience to know what not to do in the future.Oh, and here's my other channel, if you're curious: youtube.com/channel/UCYFoCANQ-nmMuCBhuu3qBrQ
Suddenly … DR WILY! ~ Mega Man & Bass Playthrough (Finale) MrMatthews 2022-06-27 | In the final part of the playthrough, we complete the final King stage ... and unexpectedly come face to face with an old, familiar enemy.
Horrible Bosses ~ Mega Man & Bass Playthrough (Part 2) MrMatthews 2022-06-23 | Boss character design in the Mega Man series have been all over the place. Rockman & Forte's bosses are far better than the rogue's gallery from Mega Man 8 ... but Capcom still slipped a stinker or two in here.
Overstated Difficulty? ~ Mega Man & Bass Playthrough (Part 1) MrMatthews 2022-06-20 | This is the Mega Man game we originally didn’t get in the states: Rockman & Forte (aka ‘Mega Man & Bass.’)While we did eventually get port of the game on the GameBoy Advance, this version was heavily compromised and was honestly a frustrating mess. As it turns out, however, the original Super Famicom version is a much easier nut to crack ... which is fortunate because that is the version I’m playing today.
Playing through GREMLINS 2 ~ (Nintendo NES) MrMatthews 2022-04-22 | It took about 15 years, but I finally found time to finish Gremlins 2. Here's what happened.~Recorded off the original cartridge on the RetroUSB AVS~
A Quick Playthrough of Little Mermaid ~ (Nintendo NES) MrMatthews 2022-04-08 | Just because it's a kids game doesn't mean it's not fun. It's also a super short game, so let's get on with it, I have stuff to do.
Mega Man X8 ~ A Mega Man X Series Redemption Story MrMatthews 2022-03-11 | The first four Mega Man X games are generally well-regarded, but the fifth, sixth, and seventh games sent the series into a spiraling nosedive. Capcom clearly wasn’t able to save the series with Mega Man X8, but perhaps that wasn’t for lack of trying.#megaman
Mega Man X ~ A Brief Overview of the First Seven Games MrMatthews 2022-02-18 | The debut entry of the Mega Man X series is still one of the best games I’ve ever played. Capcom achieved perfection right out of the gate, but this meant they had nowhere to go but down.Let’s talk about the tragedy of the Mega Man X series.#megaman
Hindsight is 2021 (A Year-End Retrospective) MrMatthews 2021-12-29 | 2021 wasn't all bad. Let's take a quick look back at some of the cool stuff that happened.Geeks With Cash: youtube.com/c/GeekswithCash
The Nintendo GameCube ~ An Expository Collection Video MrMatthews 2021-11-12 | I've spent a few years low-key collecting for the Nintendo GameCube. This video is not only a tour of said collection, but also a celebration of my favorite 'Little Video Game Console That Could.'#gamecube
A Little Balloon Trip ~ (From Joust to Hello Kitty) MrMatthews 2021-09-11 | Balloon Fight is one of Nintendo's lesser-known series; overshadowed by your Marios and your Zeldas. Let's take a brief look at the series, from its humble beginnings as a passive Joust clone to its unexpected evolution into a weird platformer starring Hello Kitty.#nes #gameboy
NES-Hard? ~ Two Loops of Contra MrMatthews 2021-08-20 | It's no secret that I don't think the original Contra is as hard as many people say. In this video, I attempt to talk about Contra's accessibility while trying to preserve as much of my concentration to play through the game without dying.I also try out the second loop of Contra for the first time. As an added bonus, I try out beating the game without power-ups (also for the first time).~ Recorded off the original cartridge on the RetroUSB AVS ~
Contra III No Power-Ups Challenge ~ (Captain Algebra Monthly Retro Challenge) MrMatthews 2021-08-12 | This is a revised version of my submission video to Captain Algebra's June challenge, which was to complete Contra III on normal difficulty with just the machine gun. The original submission video was 50% more surly and explicit-laden ... not worth publishing, in my humble opinion. So I tried again, for my own gratification.Check out the results video here: youtu.be/ZAp07tSDjqM
Castlevania Subweapon-Only NDR ~ (Geeks With Cash Community Challenge) MrMatthews 2021-08-05 | This is my submission video for Geeks With Cash’s community challenge.The condition of his challenge was to get as far as possible in the original Castlevania using only sub weapons to defeat enemies, with no continues.Want to see how everyone did? Here’s the results video! ~ youtu.be/Mq-AIkH_T2cAnd then here’s the amendment to the first results video! ~ youtu.be/k1X3vZWoWWM#castlevania

Its Actually Gradius ~ NEMESIS (Nintendo GameBoy) ~ No Death Run MrMatthews 2021-07-18 | Let's show the GameBoy some love, starting with Nemesis ... which is actually 'Gradius.'And whoops, I played through the game without dying (it's not a very difficult game).~Recorded off the original cartridge using the Super GameBoy adapter on the Analog Super NT~Intro and outro music from 'Gradius: The Slot'
Mega Man 6 (Part 2) ~ SUSPICIONS CONFIRMED MrMatthews 2021-06-07 | One of the most overlooked Mega Man games also happens to be one of the very best in the series.Here's why.Stampede Gaming's Mega Man 6 Buster-Only playthrough:Part 1 - youtu.be/Sc2kYpu5IgoPart 2 - youtu.be/cZ49Pd1m0E0~ Recorded off the original cartridge on the RetroUSB AVS ~
