Playing Then, Playing Now 009: Un Nuevo Sol Gaming


Hmm so there hasn't been much gaming due to a lot of things going on my life. A promotion, changes in my lifestyle, and even too much to handle have all come my way. I have been able to deal with them and that's why I'm here. First of all, you can see the photo up there of myself holding currency from another country. Why you ask? It's the currency from where I'm from, Peru. Just holding this coin reminded me how I used to go to the arcades back then to play some awesome games. Half of the Un Nuevo Sold would pay for two games so we can call it .50 cents per game. Of course, I know all the different places and arcades around my neighborhood so I would end up going to the cheap arcade which had a little older games but a wider variety and be able to use the Un Nuevo Sol coin for up to five games! Yeah, that's like .20 cents per game. Isn't that awesome? Now you know why I'm such a game freak! Endless hours would pass by until the sun would set and I would head home. Great memories indeed....so this week, I don't have much gaming but two games on the horizon are here! Check them out!

The Quest for Balloon Kid continues as I reached stage seven but guess what? I'm down to my last life. I had to pause the game and exit to my main 3DS screen. Of course, the game was paused and saved so I will give it a shot when I'm feeling it because that's about it. I'm down to one life, 0 continues, and no balloons! I shall be victorious!

3D Dot Heroes for the PS3 finally got some game time. I was able to beat dungeon two and will be heading to the desert. I also got a PS3 trophy for taking snapshots. Pretty neat huh? I shall continue my quest and wow the HDMI cable makes this game look even sexier. So that's all the gaming for the past week and a half. I shall have more updates in the coming weeks! Till then, be safe and game smart!



Finding Miis 001: Let the hunt begin!


So this is actually something I wanted to do for a while but never got to it. The main point of this series is to post every single one of my Mii findings. It will only be released when I find a Mii! They are actually very fun to hunt for and have accumulated some but not as much as I wanted! Anyways, here are the ones I have so far!

Retro Game of the Week 097: Dragon Ball Final Bout (PS1)


So another week and another game of the week! This time around we have a very obscure classic that had a too little, too late release during the Playstation's ending life time. Behold, Dragon Ball GT Final Bout! Why is it worth a mention? Just read on and find out!

Retro Gaming News 084: Final Fantasy IV -Playable Golbez Edition-


"This hack alters events of the game such that Golbez joins the party after Cecil and friends destroy the Giant of Bab-il. The story has been tweaked in various ways so that this development makes sense in context. Edge is demoted to a non-playable character in order to make room for Golbez.

Other changes include: a modified party lineup at various points throughout the game, many new equipment and tool items, the restoration of dummied commands and spells, overall refinement of the script, and more.

Please note that the changes introduced by this hack are relatively minor up until Cecil and friends reach Toroia. The changes become more pronounced after Cid rescues the team from the Tower of Bab-il. With that said, I have sprinkled surprises along the way to hold the player’s interest.

Please visit my blog for more information on this and other projects.

Thanks!"
