killer Vaniller filler
permalinkI've decided to create a new category to more clearly indicate the quickiest of quickie articles: Killer Vaniller Filler!
This week I'll kick off the picture-heavy laziness by listing some NES and SNES games that feature old-tymey firearms: whether they're triggered by flintlock, wheellock, or just general blunderbussery, these armaments were past their sell-by date in the late 1800s...but somehow their video game representations are capable of amazing rates of fire, usually without even reloading. Odd!
NES
Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates - The droopy pirates fire a yellowish/brownish shot at you (I guess it's either hot leaden death, or an energy boost for Samus).
Bram Stoker's Dracula - A standard stand-and-fire fellow shoots grapefruit-sized bullets at you with his musket. Somehow the bullet is bigger than the weapon's barrel.
Skull & Crossbones - In this unlicensed Tengen game, both you AND your enemies get in on the flintlock fun: the pistol looks tiny, but it is the most powerful (and rare) weapon.
SNES
Cutthroat Island - The only level you're likely to beat ends with a boss fight against The Warden, and his rifle with an axe on the end. That's some ingenuity!.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - Some of the local constabulary has eschewed their sabers and decided to blast Frankenstein's Monster with long-rifles. Oh, the (stitched-together-from-pieces-of) humanity!
Bram Stoker's Dracula - The one weapon worth a tinker's damn Vampire's curse is the blunderbuss. Too bad you get so few shots!
Yes sir, these are some nifty archaic guns!
Your Nintendo characters should do anything they can to get ahold of them!
...well, ALMOST anything.
