More shooters

I decided to pick up some more old school shooters.


Operation Wolf and Operation Thunderbolt were arcade games that were ported to the NES and SNES.  Both games have light gun support (since the arcade cabinets had positional guns), so that's why I picked them up.  Operation Thunderbolt is one of only two SNES games that supported both the Super Scope and Mouse simultaneously (T2: The Arcade Game was the other one).  Expect an upload in the near future.

I tried a little bit of Quake II so far.  I really like the graphics, especially with the Expansion Pak.  This one looks to actually be more fun than the first Quake, which I still need to finish.  Oh how I missed out on N64 shooters back in the day.  Stupid me, I thought Perfect Dark was all I needed.

  1. In terms of the N64, did I even mention that the port on the bottom is for a Japan-only add-on called the N64 Disk Drive?

    1. Yes I know all about the 64DD. Nintendo Power covered it all the way back in their January 1996 Bonus Issue. I actually expected it to release here in the U.S. during the N64 era.
