C Is For...Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers!

Sometimes some crimes,

Go slipping through the cracks,

But these two,

Gumshoes,

Are picking up the slack,

There's no case too big,

No case too small,

When you need help just call,

Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers!

How catchy is that song? It's one of my favourite cartoon themes of all time and another childhood favourite that I used to watch on the weekends and I even owned some of the episodes on VHS.

B Is For...Black Butler!

I discovered this anime on Netflix quite a while back and decided to give it a go. After viewing it for several minutes I almost turned it off as I couldn't stand listening to those posh, over-the-top, English accents! This had nothing to do with me being Welsh either! 

However I carried on and soon adjusted to the voices (that makes me sound crazy) just like I did with Naruto's when I first watched it.

A Is For...ActRaiser!

I've decided to do an A-Z series for the next 26 posts and to begin with we have a game I recently discovered called ActRaiser which was released for the SNES in 1992.

I knew little about this game but from the screenshots I found I figured it must be a side scrolling action game. Well I was only half right as it turns out there's a twist. There are simulations parts of the game too. You essentially play God by helping out townsfolk who have been plagued by monsters and demons. There are six lands on which you have to rebuild villages. Appearing as a baby angel you do this by flying overhead and indicating where villages should build their homes to. 

Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate! The Legacy Of Monkey Island

'Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate!'

Legendary words. Legendary game. At least in the eyes of many loyal Monkey Island fans like myself. For my 100th post there was nothing else I wanted to write about more than this; the series that got me hooked on point and click adventures and Monkey Island is the best of all.
