Game-A-Day Doubleheader: The Adventures of Dino Riki AND Rad Gravity

Unable to post on Thursday, I've doubled my effort(tolerance) and brought you two NES games you should be thankful for not owning.

The Adventures of Dino Riki

Time Played: 15 Minutes

Cave Babes Nailed: 0

Sabertooth Hornets? Jungle's lousy wit 'em.

Dino Riki is of my favorite lost genre: the top-down shooter. You play as Dino, a caveman, who is making is way somewhere to do something.  I assume the instruction manual has the back story because the game just throws you into the action.  I like to think Dino is on his way to catch somebody on their way to work to serve them a dino-subpoena.  The game is pretty hard because there isn't a lot of room to move laterally and the screen is consistently taken up by groups of attacking enemies.

The Adventures of Rad Gravity

Time Played: <2 minutes

Love of Space: diminished

New favorite pickup line

This game makes you hate it from the get-go.  It comes at you with this ear-raping title screen then goes on to introduce you to the douchey looking Rad Gravity who needs to search out computers on the planet Cyberia because something about a teleporter. The gameplay is one of those platformers where you go in and out of doors by pressing up on the d-pad until you've completely lost your way.  The video might make it look easy...but it's so crappy it isn't worth trying to beat.
