About Me
My love for videogames is only eclipsed by my love of music. I have an unnatural affinity for zombie movies, Reeses' Cups, and slide guitar. I own a gaming PC and a Macbook and love both. I've seen more movies than I'd like to say. I currently own the exciting Wii360 combo. I've owned every game system since except the Gamecube. The Deadliest Catch and LOST are the best shows on TV. I would drop out of school to tour full time with a band. If there was a fire, I'd grab a guitar in each hand and hope my girlfriend would make it out alive.

WHAT AM I LISTENING TO?
Neva Dinova - The Hate Yourself Change
Okkervil River - The Stage Names

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (360)

Venture into my (NOT) Rom Collection Pt. 1: SWAT Kats
Revolt in Colour | 8:27 PM on 03.26.2008 9 comments


I don’t have a large collection of roms. So don’t sue me.

However, I frequently enjoy firing up a game I’ve never heard of or just never played just
to get my jollies. I’m weird. I’ve often recounted these explorations to people I know and
lolz are usually had. So I thought, why not put the account of my adventures here?

So here’s volume one:

SWAT Kats

I have never heard of SWAT Kats, but a swift swing to Wikipedia nets me this info:

"SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron is a Hanna-Barbera American animated series created
by Christian Tremblay and Yvon Tremblay. The show ran in syndication from 1993 to 1995,
when it was canceled. The show was based in the fictional metropolis of Megakat City,
which is populated entirely by anthropomorphic felines, known as "kats". "

Ok. I’m sold. Let’s start this shit up.

After a brief intro that appears to be a large feline flying around into the remains of John
Candy’s exhumed corpse, I hit start and get ready for some super mega awesome Kat
SWAT action.



Alright, all jokes aside, its time to pick a character. First up there’s T-Bone:


Then there’s Razor:


(Don’t give me sass. I know it’s actually spelled Rahzar)

I picked T-Bone. Not sure why.

Next was level selection.



I went with the big ferris wheel, even though I figured if I went to visit Onyx, I’d run into
Ash. Then I could finally beat him with his own Pokedex. Oh well.

I soon find this big ferris wheel is called “Mad Kat Land.” Now that scares the shit out of me.
Good job game.

Falling clown heads burst into smaller clown heads. I’m kind of freaked out. I then fall
down the first jumping section three straight times. Why? Because I was distracted by this:



Is that a pepper? Why is there a floating pepper power up in a game about genetically
superior SWAT Kats?

Needless to say I quickly exhausted my first 4 lives.



And I had no desire to play again. Oh well.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I love Swat Kats

There was one episode where one button shot out a net launcher, with little rockets attached to the net, then the same button miraculously makes a vat of lava protrude from the bottom of their jet and they pour it on to the giant monster.

Pretty sure the jet then turns in to some kind of mining tank and they go underground.

So good.

I remember the game having awesome music, but judging from the shots here, the gameplay looks pretty shit. Like the Darkwing Duck game or something. Another awesome cartoon given a shitty game.

Oh well

This game was pretty cool, since I was a HUGE fan of Swat Kats. THe worst level is when you fight this goo monster thingy and its switches to a shooting level (camera is behind the plane). The level rotates around you like your spinning around heading towards the monster. It gave me such a bad case of motion sickness. BUT AWESOME GAME!
