[Editorial] Guess what’s next on I ❤ Old Games! – 29/01/17

Hello guys!

I realized that to collect games, play games, read books, watch movies, work, live, kiss my girlfriend, get, some cuddles, eat, drink and go the the toilet I would need a wide-than-Russia wallet and a 50hrs day.Everyday I keep looking online, reading your posts, watch your streams and I realize that I only have too little spare time. Maybe is for this that I enjoy that much these stuff???

Uh, I almost forgot to tell you that this week I started to watch The Video Game Years series. I know most of you will know it and I know I’m as always too late to the party

Apart from this, here’s what happened this week

GAMES

• Europa Universalis IV
  Begun: November 16th, 2016
  Status: 60% completed
  Again no progress here. This week everything is in stand-by 🙂
• Duke Nukem – Episode three: Trapped in the Future
  Begun: January 4th, 2017
  Status: 60% completed
  No progree this week here.
• Super Mario Bros. 2 – The Lost Levels
  Begun: January 16th, 2017
  Status: 12% completed
  My 12% means that I completed only the 1st world, after trying it a thousand times. The percentage refers to the 8-world game, so I haven’t included the 9th world and the other bonus worlds. This will be a really tough challenge.
• Castlevania
  Begun: January 24th, 2017
  Status: 33% completed
  After Balloon Fight, this week challenge was Castlevania. It’s not tough as I thought but is anyway challenging. I already coompleted the first 2 leverl out of the total 6. One of the things I enjoyed the most was the soundtrack! 🙂

BOOKS

• Retro Gamer Issue #160
  Begun: January 7th, 2016
  Status: 52% completed
  The best part of my lecture this week was the piece about the Hit Squad, the series of 8-bit video games re-released between late 80s and early 90s for a lot of platforms such as Spectrum, Amstrad, C64, BBC Micto, Atari 800, C16, MSX and Atari 800. This could be a great thinkg to collect, even for the prices that aren’t so high…
• The Ultimate History of Video Games
  Begun: November 16th, 2016
  Status: 2% completed
  Would you beleieve it? Yesterday night I picked up the book and I started to read it again! It’s a shame I fell asleep after two pages… 😦

PLANS

Play NES mini until my eyes bleed (again) 🙂
