Father and son playing old school video games together

MAY 27th: WE BEAT GOLDEN AXE 2. Photos coming within a few days. I was Tyris Flame and Howie was Ax Battler and we played using normal difficulty. I used 1 continue and let him use 2. Misplaced the Golden Axe 1 game but will find.

June 21: Howie's been playing World's Greatest Heavyweights and should be finished with it soon. Found our Golden Axe 1 game. After he's finished with his boxing game, we'll tackle Golden Axe 1 in the future, and then the Turtles game for the Super Nintendo.

July 28: We beat the TMNT game, Turtle in Time for the SNES in normal difficulty mode. It took us a long time because a few times just one of us would win. We would fight Shredder and one of us would die, but finally we both won together.

Aug 24: Howie and I took turns playing World's Greatest Heavyweights and have beaten that a few times. I have no problem winning the Sega game but Howie can't get past Larry Holmes in the final rounds so I fought him and Howie fought all the rest.

September/October Project: Playing Off Road Challenge for N64, we'll each try to win in 1 player mode. Update: I have beaten it but Howie can't quite beat it because he's gotten tired of it, so we'll put it on the back burner for awhile.

October: Both Howie and I have played Mario Kart for the N64, won many championships/Gold Cups. He's actually better at the game than I am.

March Project: I am going to play Dune the Battle for Arrakis with Howie. This is a one player game but I will supervise and give advice. My favorite game of all time and Howie likes it. I personally don't think we'll get past the 5th level or so with him at the helm but winning isn't everything. EDIT: Together we have just completed level 7 using House Atreides. He played the first 3 levels all by himself. The 4-7 I started him out and when I had established a firm base with the necessary turrets, etc, I let him take control and attack the necessary bases.

May: Finally won Golden Axe, not to be confused with our previous win of Golden Axe 2. We had beaten it on easy but finally were able for both of us to win the game together.

June 2009 : Won Dune the Battle for Arrakis using House Atreides. Posting photos. Howie loves Dune like me and wants me to buy Dune 2 which is hard to come by. He also plays Dune 2000 on the PS2 though it is a PS1 game. Way to go Howie. He beat the 8th and 9th level by himself. Previously I had helped him. I was there for advice and moral support.

October 2009: Howie and I beat the NES game TMNT 3 The Manhattan Project. It took a long time for us to be able to beat this game.
