Poking Around With Poke-It Poker!

by Alxala

I was playing another old video poker game called Poke-It Poker, which it has two game modes to play on:

Draw Poker
Joker’s Wild

Hooray! I finally to rack up 300 credits in this fun game, and what I like about this game is that it has sounds of a lady shouting “Cocktails!” about every 30 seconds or so while being idle. Free cocktails and this game both rule! 🙂

Checking Out Nogginknockers 2

by Alxala

I decided to play some Nogginknockers 2, the sequel to Nogginknockers! This game has eight characters to choose from, and each one has their own special moves and endings. Here’s a screenshot of the gameplay:

I managed to beat the game by defeating all eight opponents as Sinnamon:

This game is a lot of bloody fun just like the first Nogginknockers. 🙂

Current Gaming Mood: Nogginknockers

by Alxala

Last night I checked out an MS-DOS game called Nogginknockers, a Bloodlust Software game which is like Pong but with blood.

The objective in this game is to defeat all six characters by scoring five times against them in order to beat the game. I even upload my full playthrough of this game on YouTube:

This game is bloody alright, but I’m stickin’ with Time Slaughter.

Caesars Palace But With A Twist Of Nickelodeon

by Alxala

I decided to come back to some more of the Windows version of Caesars Palace, but I edited the playing cards:

So now all the playing cards now have portraits of Nickelodeon cartoon characters including Tak as the Joker card. 😛

Playing Some Good Ol’ Windoze Video Poker

by Alxala

I was checking out another old card game called Windows Video Poker. It’s a basic five card draw video poker game made by Dean Zamzow, with odds paid based on the hand you draw.

I’d say this is another fun video poker game, and what I like about this game is it allows negative credits (just like Super Video Poker) and your bankroll starts at 0 instead of 100 or 200. 😛

Also, I ripped a sprite asset of the game’s playing cards over to the Spriters Resource website:

And now I’m heading off to do whatever. Ciao!

Current Gaming Mood: Time Slaughter Lost

by Alxala
There can be only one! *again*

I decided to check out the updated version of Time Slaughter. It’s called Time Slaughter Lost. This version of the game has graphical changes. The characters’ portraits are newly edited (except Staine’s and Portal’s). Savage and Pierre have different sound clips. The alternate palettes of Pierre, Savage and Mojumbo look brand new. Jinsoku’s stage and Asylum’s stage are completely different, Ug’s stage has purple sky and mountains in the background instead of dark blue, and Lazarus’s stage is at nighttime. The rest of the other characters’ stages still remain the same. I even made a video of the complete playthrough as Savage:

I got to admit, this game is bloody fun to play just like the regular Time Slaughter. 🙂

Old School Fun With W5Card

by Alxala

I was playing an old Windows card game called W5Card. Here’s a screenshot of the game:

In this card game, the player needs a pair of Jacks or better to open at the start of a new game. If the player passes, the dealer may open or pass back. If the open is passed back, the player is allowed to start the betting.

When discarding, both the player and the dealer can get up 5 new cards.

At the end of the hand, the winner is given the entire pot; the pot stays on a tie. Also, if you lose all your money to the dealer you’ll get a closing quote:

Now would be a good time to experience other attractions in Las Vegas.

– MANAGEMENT

Not gonna lie, W5Card is one fun card game. 😛

Have Some Star Control Videos

by Alxala

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to showcase both faction endings from Star Control for MS-DOS since nobody has done that over the years.

I really love the planet Earth in the Alliance ending because it looks beautiful in-game. See you space cowboys!
