Living the High Life

Video Game Diary:

Today, after playing Wii Sports (and the Mario Bros. Virtual Console download) for six hours with Kris, Kelley and Daniel, Daniel and I played Odyssee 2 Blackjack, a great version of the card game played with the Odyssee's built in keyboard instead of the joystick. We finished up with a few matches of Karate Champ for the NES. Daniel mastered the back kick by shattering flying vases and became invincible. Karate Champ is a port of a 1984 arcade hit from Data East that had players use two joysticks to perform moves (no buttons!).
