90210 Heartthrob Gone Too Soon! - RIP Luke Perry

This just in, and it is more heartbreaking than the passing of John Ritter himself.

Luke Perry, best known for his roles on both Beverly Hills 90210 and Riverdale, has died of a massive stroke on March 4th, 2019. He was 52 years old (yes, he died very young, no surprise there)

Perry, as we know, especially with girls who have teen magazines like Tiger Beat, was best know for being teenage bad boy heartthrob, Dylan McKay on the original Beverly Hills 90210. But in later years, to a new generation, he became best known these days as Fred Andrews in the CW mystery drama, Riverdale, which is a dark take of Archie Comics, being the strong anchor to his son, Archie. While he continued to act in both TV and in movies, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (before it became a TV show), he also excelled in voice acting. Not only he guest-starred on The Simpsons in the episode, "Krusty Gets Kancelled," but he also voiced Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm and as Rick Jones in the 1996 Incredible Hulk cartoon. Perry was survived by his fiance and two children from a previous marriage, including his son, Jack, who is a professional wrestler in the independent circuit.

How season 3 of Riverdale would end after his passing is up to the producers. But, I will tell you this. Whether he's a teen idol or a strong-willed father to a comic character come to life, Luke Perry's legacy will live on forever, whether it's in a suburb in Los Angeles or...

In a little town called Riverdale.

Godspeed, Dylan McKay/Be at peace, Father of Archie.

Ideas for Future WWE 2k Showcase Modes

WWE 2k20 is likely coming this fall and,like with other games in the series,will be featuring a showcase mode. But,as of right now we don't know what will feature in this mode, So today,I'm gonna list my ideas for future WWE 2k showcases.


Idea 1: Monday Night Wars - WCW!

It's the Monday Night Wars,this time told from WCW's perspective. The Showcase will feature 8 chapters,7 main,1 extra.

The first chapter would be called "Opening Salvo",and would chronicle the beginnings of Monday Nitro,starting with the 1st episode. This would include the surprise return of Lex Luger,the debut of the Giant and many more.

Chapter 2 would be called "Rise of the nWo". This chapter would chronicle the rise of the New World Order,starting with Scott Hall's debut.

Chapter 3 would be called "Goldberg Unleashed" and would chronicle the early WCW career of Bill Goldberg,starting with his first ever victory against Hugh Morris on Monday Nitro.

Chapter 4 would be called "The Transformation of Sting" and would chronicle Sting's evolution from Colorful Super Hero to Dark Avenger. The final match of this chapter would be Sting v Hollywood Hogan at Starrcade '97.

Chapter 5 would be called "Wolfpac Attacks" and would chronicle the birth and rise of the nWo Wolfpac.

Chapter 6 would be called "The Beginning of the End" and would chronicle the fall of WCW. From the infamous January 4th 1999 episode of Nitro to the failure of the New Blood Storyline.

Chapter 7 would be called "End of a Legacy" and would feature 2 matches from the final Nitro: Scott Steiner v Booker T in a title for title match and Ric Flair v Sting in The Main Event. The chapter itself would open up with Vince McMahon's now famous "I Own WCW" Speech from that Nitro.

The Last Train to Clarksville in the Sky - RIP Peter Tork

This just in.

Peter Tork, one half of the musical group known as The Monkees, has died due to complications from adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare form of cancer. He was 77 years old.

Tork, as we know, was the keyboardist and bass guitarist of The Monkees. He, along with Mickey Dolenz (aka the first voice of Arthur from The Tick for season 1 only), Mike Nesmith and the late Davy Jones, not only were one of the most recognizable names in rock and pop music, but had a TV show that lasted 2 seasons from 1966 to 1968. Tork survived with his 4th wife and 3 children. He will be missed. From taking that Last Train to Clarksville to becoming a Daydream Believer, the music of the Monkees and their antics in their show will never be forgotten, especially with Peter Tork. At least he's back together with Davy. Godspeed, Mr. Tork. Be at peace.

Retro Gamer Weekdayz Episode 5

Welcome Retroheadz to Retro Gamer Weekdayz. Today,we're gonna be looking at a a bunch of NES classics..and 2 not so great games. As always each review is Short,But To The Point. And,most importantly,Spoiler Free. Let's get to it.

Legend of Zelda
Company: Nintendo
Year: 1986
Genre: Action Adventure
System: NES
# Of Players: 1

Story: There once was a gorgeous and peaceful land called Hyrule. Providing the land with power and beauty were the Triforce,twin mystical triangles bestowed upon the land by the 3 goddessess.

Everything was going great until the Evil Master Ganon and his minions appeared and cast the land into disaray by stealing the Triforce of Power. To prevent Ganon from getting the Triforce of Wisdom,Princess Zelda split the thing into 8 pieces and has her Sages hide them within the underground labyrinths.

Ganon finds out about this and kidnaps Princess Zelda (though we never found out why). Before getting captured,The Princess orders her elderly nursemaid,Impa,to find a brave and noble hero.

On her mission,Impa is confronted by Ganon's minions. Thanfully,a mysterious young man named Link comes to her aid. After being saved,Impa pleads with Link to save Zelda and the land. Link agrees to do so.

Now it's up to Link to save the land and the Princess from Ganon and his evil army. Link must find and restore the Triforce of Wisdom by collecting it's 8 fragments,all while battling Ganon's minions. Once the Triforce of Wisdom has been restored,Link will be granted access to Ganon's Secret Dungeon on Death Mountain.

Game Features:
- Open World Exploration
- Various Items To Find
- Various Items To Buy
- Explore Dungeons (aka levels) to Battle Ganon's Minions and retrieve the Triforce Fragments
- Get Heart Containers to increase your Health.
- Some enemies drop Bombs,Rupies,or Arrowa.
- Weapon and Defense Upgrades
- 2nd Quest after beating the game.

Graphics and Sound: The Games Graphics are pretty good for an early NES title. Really feels like an 8-Bit fantasy adventure.

Play Control: Really good.

Difficulty: Moderate. Some enemies are tough at first,but once you upgrade yourself,things become easier. Ganon will Always be tough,no matter how well you're equiped.

Fun Factor: Great. You can pretty much go anywhere and get many items in any order you want.

Pros:
- Open World Exploration
- Memorable Music
- Unforgettable Characters and Enemies
- The 2nd Quest
- Fighting Enemies
- Hunting For Items


Cons:
- No Arrow Counter. You drain your Rupie count every time you use an Arrow
- Nothing much to do after beating the 2nd Quest with All Items found.

Replay Value: High. Despite the lack of things to do after beating the 2nd Quest with a 100%,Legend of Zelda is great to come back to.

Thoughts: This game came in 2 colors: Gold and Grey. I'm fortunate enough to own the Gold Cartrage.

Score: 9/10
----------------------------------
Street Fighter 2010
Company: Capcom
Year: 1990/1991
Genre: Action Platformer
System: NES
# Of Players: 1

Story: In 2010, technology has advanced to the point that any person can easily travel from one planet to another through the use of interplanetary warp gates. Ken Masters (well not really him),a retired multi-time Street Fighter champion,turned scientist,developes a new substance called "Cyboplasm" that grants superhuman strength to any living thing that's implanted with it.

One day,Ken finds his lab partner,Troy,murdered and the Cyboplasm stolen. Ken decides to bring Troy's killer to justice by implanting his body with bionics, as well as an interdimensional transporter, in order to follow the killer's trail, who's left a trail of Cyboplasm on each of the planets he's visited.

Ken must now travel from Planet to Planet until he comes face to face with Troy's killer. However,standing in his way are vicious space mutants,which Ken must destroy to move on. Once the freaks are destroyed,a portal will appear to take Ken to the next level.

Game Features:
- Side Scrolling and Vertical Scrolling Action
- Shoot Projectiles using Kicks and Punchs
- Power Up Capsules that Increase your Attack by 1 (max level is 5)
- Backward Flip Jumping (can be turned into an attack via power up)
- Multi Directional Firing. (well,you can fire upwards and downwards,anyway)
- Climb Walls and Poles
- Hang From or Jump Down From Certain Ledges.

Graphics and Sound: The game looks good. Each Planet has it's own uniqe look. This includes Stage 1 (Earth). Soundwise,it's good too. Music's not that memorable,but it's well crafted.

Play Control: Poor! The hit detection is pretty bad and the controlls themselves are slow to respond.

Difficulty: Very High! All thanks to the terrible play controll,the quickness of the enemies,and the Always unfair: Get Hit,Lose Power! Also Ken's weak and Power-Ups are rare.

Fun Factor: Low! Very Low! Unless You're a Masochist!

Pros:
- The Visuals. They look very cool.
- The Music sounds good too.
- The Story. It's not too bad,However it Isn't Canon to Street Fighter! And that's a great thing.

Cons:
- Made Littke Sense that you need 2 Power Up Capsules to increase your attack power instead of just 1.
- Enemies are quicker and gang up on you
- Get hit once and Lose Power.
- Bad Hit Detection
- The Play Control.
- Power-Up Collecting is a Pain! Not only are they rare,but they're sometimes tough to get.
- The Time Limit

Replay Value: None...Unless You're a Masochist,that is.

Thoughts: Worst! Street Fighter! Game! EVER!

Score: 4/10
----------------------------------
Punch-Out!!
Company: Nintendo
Year: 1987
Genre: Sports (Boxing)

Tetris (Nintendo Version)
Company: Nintendo
Year: 1989
Genre: Puzzle
System: NES
# Of Players: 1

Story:Well,since this an early puzzle game,it has no story. Sorry.

The object of the game is to fit together falling shapes,called "Tetrominos",into a horizontal line. Once you do this,the line will vanish and you get points. The more lines you clear,the more points you'll get. Once you've cleared enough lines,you'll move on to the next stage (or clear the mode if playing on mode 'b').

You can also stack them to help you get more lines. Beware though,if you let the Tetrads reach the top of the play area,it's game over.

Game Features:
- 2 Modes of Play
- 9 Stages To Select (the higher the stage,the higher the difficulty)
- 6 Levels of Handycap (in the 'B' Mode Only)
- 3 Selectable BGM

Graphics and Sound: Graphics are really well done and the Tetriminos change color depending on the level. The music is 8-Bit renditions of Classic Russian tunes,not my cup 'o joe. Thankfully you can turn the music off. The SFX are very cool and nostalgic.

Play Control: Very Responsive.

Difficulty: Easy - Very Hard. It all depends on how far you get into the game. In later levels,the Blocks drop progressivly faster.

Fun Factor: Excellent. Addicting is the only way to describe this game.

Pros:
- Easy To Learn.
- Solid Controls
- Addicting

Cons:
- Lack of a 2-Player Mode

Replay Value: Excellent. Like I said,this game is addicting.

Thoughts: My first experience with Tetris came via the Game Boy port. Been a fan ever since

Score: 8/10

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
Company: Konami via Ultra Games
Year: 1989
Genre: Action Platformer
System: NES
# Of Players: 1

Story: Evil brain Krang decides to vacation on Dimention X,so he leaves his partner, The Shredder,in charge. The Shredder wages an all out war on New York City as part of his Global Conqust campaign. The Shredder's eternal enemies,and New York's resident Heroes in-a-Half Shell,the Ninja Turtles,spring into action to save the city.

Once they arrive on the scene,they see their good friend,news reporter,April O'Neil,being kidnapped by The Shredder's goons. The Green Machine must now battle through 5 stages and a whole mess of freaks to make it to Shredder and put an end to his assault on the City.

Game Features:
- Side Scrolling Stages with Top Down Overworld Maps.
- Switch between the 4 Turtles on the fly.
- Each Turtle has their own strengths and weapons.
- Various Sub Weapons (like the throwing stars,boomerang,and the scroll)
- Refill Health with Pizza
- Attack in Multiple directions (does not work with sub-weapons)

Graphics and Sound: Graphically the game is good,not great,but good. Sprite detail is lacking,but the Background details are nice. As for the sound,it's a pretty standard for a NES Konami game. In other words,It's good. Musicly, it's good. Gotta love that NES Konami soundchip. Shame not many of tunes were memorable,though.

Play Control: The conrols can be slow at times and the jumping mechanic could be better.

Difficulty: Moderate - High. In the early going,things are moderate,though the 'Underwater Bomb Defusing' area in Stage 2 can give you trouble. Stage 3 and onward,the difficulty gets progressivly tougher. Stage 5 is a mess. Not only that,but most of the later enemies are really strong. Plus enemies respawn. Yeah,this game will beat the crap out of you.

Fun Factor: Low - Moderate. The difficulty makes this game not as fun to play. Still better than Street Fighter 2010,though.

Pros:
- The Music and Graphics
- The Fact you can choose between any of the Turtles at Any given time.
- Cool Sub-Weapons
- Riding around in the Turtles Van,the Party Wagon (even if it's just for 1 level).
- Respawning Items (including pizza)

Cons:
- The pixel perfect jumping
- The Underwater Bomb Defusing area
- All of Stage 5
- Respawning Enemies
- The character could've been faster.

Replay Value: Low - Moderate. Despite some fun sections,over half the game can get a bit frustrating. Stage 5 can be a Nightmare. If you love challenging games and/or a Ninja Turtles fan,check this game out.

Thoughts: Ultra Games (konami's,then,american branch) accidently used art of the Mirage Turtles on both the Cover and Cartrage,despite tge gane being losely based on the '87 Cartoon. Oops. Thankfully,the Japanese didn't make this error and Ultra learned from their mistakes with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II.

Score: 7/10

Company: LJN
Year: 1992
Genre: Sports (Wrestling)
System:  NES
# Of Players: 1-2 (co-op or verses)

The following WWE Superstars are vying for the Gold: Hulk Hogan,"Macho Man" Randy Savage,Bret "Hitman" Hart,Sid Justice,The Undertaker,Jake "The Snake" Roberts,IRS,"Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase,The Mountie,and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

- 3 Main Modes of Play: 1-on-1,Tag Team,and Steel Cage.
- Win by Pinfall or (if fighting in a cage) by climbing to the top of the Cage. (easier said than done)

Graphics and Sound: Bad...especially for a Late NES title. The characters could've been a bit more detailed. They also all look the same,except with different hair and outfits. The Character portraits could've used some polish. The arena looks nice,though. As for the sound and music,it's decent. The Wrestlers themes were greatly shortened though.

Play Control: Very Bad. 40-60% of the tine they become unresponsive. Pinning is also a major pain. The CPU doesn't have these problems,giving it a good advantage.  The characters are also slow.

Difficulty: Moderate - High. The difficulty is moderate if you play with another player,but high when you fight against the Evil CPU.

Fun Factor: Low. You may have sone fun playing against another human,but playing against the CPU is painfull and frustrating

Pros:
- Good Roster Choice
- The Steel Cage Mode

Cons:
- Bad play control
- Evil CPU
- The Graphics (minus the arena)

Replay Value: Low. Thanks to the bad controls and evil CPU. Good luck finding another human to play this with you.

Thoughts: As bad as Street Fighter 2010 (in different ways,of course)!

Fun Factor: Moderate - High.

Pros:
