So it's Freya's Day, Friday. Fry's Day. Let's talk about some games, dammit.

*snofts* Right. One of my old loves from those gleeful days gone by of sitting in my room, plunking away at my NES was a little-known title called "Werewolf- The Last Warrior". Good ol' side-scrolling hacky-slashy-choppy-punchy-one-"good guy"-versus-every-bad-guy-on-the-planet-and-their-cousin-Todd kind of fun on a cheesy bun. It came with a little comic book which detailed the rise to power of the baddie, Dr Faryan... classic *laughs* gotta have the evil scientist baddie, and the spirit-warrior "Werewolf" who changed from an underwear model out of Frank Frazetta's closet of fun to Buff McMan-stuff of The Furry-Pride Parade with giant sword-hands and one of the top-ten best ass-whuppin' great themes of any NES character(Here's a link to a duder covering it on guitar- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq-Om9QxUbI).

Now, to be sure, the game was FA-Ha-Ha-Haaaaahr from flawless. The music, though awesome, was really limited. I hope you like those three or four themes because that's all the game has. Controls could be a bit wonky at times, as could enemy A.I. There were plenty of blind leaps of faith which could insta-kill you. One enemy had a sprite which pointed at you saying "OH!" but if they approached from the opposite side it read "!-HO"... fucking rude baddies, slut-shaming... The cut-scenes often made little sense as they were presented- there was one in which you were told that you got washed out to sea after the fight and perished-but-wait-no-you-didn't-you-rose-to-fight-again! and you were just left saying, out loud, to no one, "What the fu.... wha...?". The ending to the game was... no spoilers but... don't get your hopes up for any level of Shakesperean story-telling in a denouement to match the grand climax of the last battle.

and then, there's the weirdness.... *head tilts* I mean, besides the whole "I have big-ol' stabbin' knives for hands" thing... which even that came and went throughout the game... Climbing Ladders? Hands. Punching baddies? Swords. Firing a rifle? Hands. Climbing around on the ceiling? Swords.

wait... where was I...? *snaps* Oh yeah... weirdness... Okay. Even WAY back in the good ol' days, I wondered about this and I've never heard proof positive one way or t'other but...

I have to ask... was Data East hired on to make a X-MEN game starring Wolverine and maybe the deal fell apart, leaving them with mostly finished assets to re-tool into this finished product? The big, buff, hairy duder with giant knives for hands... the generic human enemies? Yeah, those are just thugs from the Hellfire club. I'm not kidding. Watch some gameplay footage if you don't believe me. The stage Two boss looks an awful lot like Juggernaut. Another level has enemies which, yeah, those are Brood. They're just straight up "Brood Aliens". And after you fight Dr. Faryan there's one more battle with what I can only describe as solid purple Magneto. *hands up, shaking her head* Again, just watch the footage. I'm not snorting swizzle-sticks here. That's the Magnet Man.

Anypoop... all flaws aside, the game was great fun, at least I thought so, not too hard to wail your way through and enjoy a half-hour of total-non-productivity... Besides... just look at this guy *gesticulates, excitedly* LOOK at 'im. JEEZUS! Just... LOOK at him...That's just... fuckin'... Wow... *ahem* So, if maybe you get a chance to play it, snatch that sucker up and slap 'er in your NES.

I drew up a good five or six cheeseshot pin-ups to go along with this one... that sort of thing just comes very naturally to me... *shrugs* Lemme know if any of you filthy perverts want and maybe I'll post those up to. It is our FRIDAY GAMEDAY after all, and I got today off. WOOTS!


One world and one love, furry funbags. *bows and blows a kiss*
