  2. “Lakeview Terrace” was the movie with Sam Jackson as the crazy cop neighbor. Decent flick, I enjoyed it!

    I personally love movies that scare the ever-living piss outta me! It’s rare that a movie will make me jump at shadows, but when they do, I totally love the adreneline high. “The Strangers” (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_strangers/) was the last movie to freak me out. I was glad when the wife decided to come downstairs and watch it with me half-way through, lol.

    “Blowing on the cart” – I’m sure that refers to the old trick with the NES when a game wouldn’t work. You pull it out, blow on the cart and in the NES slot and try again!

Gaming Flashback: Double Dragon II [NES]Gaming Flashback: Double Dragon II [NES]

Double Dragon II: The Revenge, this is a sequel title to a game which arrived earlier on the NES as an arcade port, something pretty standard back in the day of arcades, and like it’s original port, has variations from the arcade.

The trick is, the variations are much less than that of the original (which might as well been it’s own version of the arcade game but sucky). I was a huge fan of the original Double Dragon title in the arcade and was met with extreme disappointment when I found out it was strictly single player on the NES console.

This game was 300% better than the disappointing Double Dragon release on the NES. Granted, the NES version was fun to play, in single-player, but I purchased it for the two-player nature of the arcade version so I could play the game with my friends. Double Dragon II, on the NES had finally restored my faith in Technos Japan and the american publisher Acclaim. They took a bad situation and made it much better in the second release, why they didn’t make the original multiplayer is beyond me.
