Wings Of Glory Video Game Reconnaissance Mission AAR #2

 

Today I'm playing a Reconnaissance Mission with the video game based on the Wings Of Glory Board Game.  I will need to fly a two-person plane over the area to be filmed and perform a stall so the passenger can take a picture of the area and then escape before being shot down.

I will be flying a Sopwith Camel as a defender of my Airco DH.4 which is a two-seater that will take the pictures. Both of these planes add up to 215 points used. The enemy will be flying two Fokker D.VIIs with one piloted by ACE Rudolf Stark (Purplish Plane) and the second D.VII will be piloted by ACE Gotthard Sachsenberg (Yellow Plane).

Games Beaten in 2019

Well, 2019 turned into a disappointment for me personally, professionally, financially, medically, pretty much all of the ways. Everything I had planned for the year never happened, I played no tabletop games except Strat-O-Matic, and I didn't play nearly as many video games as I wanted. I did purchase some new retro games including games for the Sega CD and NES but never the less I never played any of them. I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 when it came out at the end of 2018 and I still haven't played it. I have hundreds of games that I haven't played for one reason or another and like I've said before I'm hoping to change that for 2020.

The Wolf Among Us (Xbox One) Review

Commando (NES) Review

Commando is a vertical run and gun game by Capcom that was released in 1985 for the arcade. It has been ported to many different devices over the years including the Nintendo Entertainment System which is the version I played. Despite having the same name as the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie this isn't based upon that movie but if you squint your eyes while playing it you'd nearly be fooled. To keep the mood going all you have to do is yell "Get to the chopper" every time you see a helicopter.

Games Beaten In 2018

Here we go with my fourth annual Games Beaten list for 2018. To compare to how I did years past you can click here for 2017, 2016, 2015. For 2017 I finished 26 games which was my second best year. Unfortunately I only finished 14 games in 2018 which is my worst showing so far. Of course you have to take into consideration that 2018 was the worst year I've lived yet and just didn't have as much time to play as I have in years past.

Batman Returns is a side scroller beat em up that was developed and published by Konami in 1992. Most popular consoles at the time had a version of Batman Returns released for it but to my knowledge, the SNES version was unique from all the others. How does this game compare to the classic SNES beat em up Turtles In Time which was also developed by Konami??

Battlefield 1 Frontline Pack

Poking around a local Gamestop I came across this Frontline Pack for Battlefield 1 by EA Games. Normally I don't really go in for stuff like this, I did buy the Hardcore edition of Call Of Duty Black Ops because it came with a medal, but this was only 5 bucks so I said what the hell.

Inside this "Frontline Pack" is a number of items. Included are a pack of 6 pins with logos of the different classes on them.

iBuffalo Classic USB Controller Review

When I finally decided that playing some emulated games wouldn't be too bad, especially rare games that are hard to find and expensive games which I'm curious to play but not willing to spend hundreds of dollars for each game, except for Snatcher for the Sega CD.

Video Games Beaten In 2017

Well over a month late is my third annual video games beaten for 2017. Last year I finished 23 games so I did better in 2017 with a total of 26 games completed. This year was heavy with Xbox One and Xbox 360 games which comprised 21 of the games beaten. Three games for the NES, 1 for the Sega Genesis, and one on the Nintendo Gameboy.

I started playing games in 2017 on emulators and am pretty happy that it ended up being only five out of twenty-six games. I am sad to see that while I did play some games on my Sega CD, I actually didn't complete any of them over the year. Hopefully, we can continue the increase in games completed in 2018.
