Mario Clash is a fantastic update to the arcade Mario Bros. game.

In this, you must make your way up Clash Tower, one floor at a time.  To do so, you have to stomp on Koopas and steal their shells to smack other monsters in the face.  IN 3-D!!!

In reality, the use of 3-D spaces in this game is fantastic - you have essentially a foreground and a background.  Pipes can stretch between them.  In the center, Mario is lowered if he is chomped by an enemy.

One of my favorite games on the Virtual Boy, and I still haven't beaten it!

Jack Bros. is the only game developed by Atlus released for the Virtual Boy.

It was the first game released in North America in the Megami Tensei series.

This game plays like a combination of Gauntlet and Bomberman.  Action with puzzle elements, and scary demons!

Next up is Mario Clash - send me email with memories or audio submissions at virtuallyhumanpodcast@gmail.com

Virtual League Baseball was developed by Kemco and released in September/October 1995.

A good fun baseball game, hampered for me by the fact that I stink at sports games. 

There are intricacies such as player substitution and bunting.  Fielding is a little difficult, I think, but I think most baseball games are pretty difficult.

Did I mention I don't do sports well?  Get ready to knock the dirt off your virtual cleats and hear me whine about how terrible I am at sports games.

 

Next time is Jack Bros!
