Living the High Life

Video Game Diary:

More NES today! I tried Rad Gravity and M.C. Kids, both for the first time. Rad Gravity was a side scroller that played and looked like an old PC shareware game. Starting inside the cockpit of your space ship, the player selects a planet and zooms towards it to get to the meat of the gameplay. Each planet has its own gravity where Rad uses a laser sword to defend himself while jumping across a platform-laden world. M.C. Kids plays like a simple Super Mario Bros. 3. The player can pick up blocks and throw them at enemies and there are lots of hidden items to find. Its a blast.
