NES: Friday the 13th

I was never able to beat this game when I was a kid, but I revisited and beat the game about 3 years ago.  Despite my great effort to beat the game, the ending really sucked.  Below is a video of the ending.


When I beat it, I used the torch.  I was never able to find the pitchfork as is used in the video.  There are six characters in the game; three girls and three boys.  The main point of the game is to, of course, stay alive but also protect the campers from Jason.  You have to defeat Jason three times to win the game, and with each defeat, Jason becomes faster and stronger.  But like Punch Out for the NES, Jason's moves are predictable.  Just learn the pattern and you'll beat the game.

About My Focus...

So I'm leaning more and more toward making this blog about gaming.  Not about just any kind of gaming, but revisiting the games I grew up playing (Atari through N64).  Let me know what you think.  Meanwhile, enjoy a video of a speed run through The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past using  the glitch of pressing up + down while walking through a specific doorway.

Game Boy Printer and Receipt Paper

So I finally got some receipt paper for my Game Boy Printer and it works wonderfully.  As I mentioned on a previous post, the only problem was the width of the paper.




The receipt paper shown in the picture is a little over twice the width of original Game Boy Printer thermal paper, so I removed the spool from the original paper roll and started wrapping the receipt paper around it.  When I was satisfied with the amount of paper wrapped around the spool, I cut off the paper and relocated the spool to one edge of the roll.  I then used a portion of the original thermal paper as a guide to cut through the new roll of receipt paper with a serrated knife.  Now this technique might be considered lazy or sloppy, but it is definitly the fastest way to get the most paper cut per unit time.





As the pictures show, the paper works perfectly in the printer.  And yes, the picture is of a cat caught drinking out of a toilet.
