Bikini Karate Babes – Gaming Flashback

There are some gaming flashbacks I look to do and I’ve got to go back and watch the video. Sometimes, however, they’re games I’ve never played and hit up youtube to see what I can find. This video review (or introduction rather) to Bikini Karate Babe’s really describes all the action. Unfortunately, many folks that read this may not speak German.

That’s okay! The video is worth a thousand words. Things to note, the guys say something to the fact that the video trailer (shown in the beginning) is “EXACTLY” like the game (being completely sarcastic). Anyone want to confess to being a Bikini Karate Babe addict?

  1. Oh boy 🙂 …

    I have absolutely no idea how to comment that.

    The first thing that came into my mind were those B or C movies where the main (female) character, dressed almost in bikinis would beat the living shit out of 120 kg bouncers.
    This game somehow captures and purifies that down to the essence: almost naked girls, weird screams and fighting.

    How did it sell? 🙂

  3. @Herr_Alien : I’m not sure how it sold but I know it’s still on their website selling in a bundle with the “making of” style DVD.

    @Jonah : I used to post when I used to have time to post. With two-to-three audio shows a week, 7 cocktail video’s and a 40+ hour a week job it gets challenging. I also like to spend time with the kids between show notes, posting video content, updating recipe wiki and managing the day-to-day for five or so websites.

Gaming Flashback: The Incredible MachineGaming Flashback: The Incredible Machine

The Incredible Machine (TiM) is a game designed and developed by Kevin Ryan and produced by Jeff Tunnel (now co-founder of GarageGames and their successful title Marble Blast Ultra on the 360 and co-founder in Dynamix makers of A-10 Tank Killer and The Red Baron). At the time, The Incredible Machine series came out of the shop known as Jeff Tunnel Productions.

Jeff Tunnel Productions published the first Incredible Machine games from 1993 to 1995 while Sierra Entertainment published all the rest of their titles all the way up to 2001. What is The Incredible Machines all about? It’s a game where you must build a series of Rube Goldberg devices in a “needlessly complex fashion” all to perform some simple tasks. That is the entire point to a Rube Goldberg device, which was originally defined as “accomplishing by extremely complex roundabout means what actually or seemingly could be done simply.”

I think everyone has seen a Rube Goldberg device, their are examples in science museums, and entire Myth Busters Episode about them, they appear in many movies (Goonies used one to open the fence to let in Chunk after he does his dance as did Doc Brown in Back to the Future to cook his breakfast and get his dog food).

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.
