ABADOX: THE DEADLY INNER WAR

Underrated, awesome, disgusting* and very hard NES game. The commercial both disturbed and entranced me as a kid:

Ignore the preview... hope this works...

WGNX 46 (Atlanta) Commercial Breaks (1990/1991)-Part 2 of 2

(during Tiny Toon Adventures! Great commercials)

Makes me think a little of R-type!

It's about as frustrating as R-Type! I have one of those games for SNES.

1st, everyone of those commercials was turned up a notch. It was a sugar high and I was riding that one.

2, I loved Pizza Party. I still have it and play it.

3. I love hands down. I still have it and plat it too!

Whoa, 90s flash back! I loved seeing how weird and creative a lot of the commercials were.

[kittymink.livejournal.com]

wow. much 90s. I have been binging a bit since the Michael Bay Turtles were revealed. Its funny how cool those commercials were and how the 80s seemed to last well into the 90s.

Also the WWF Wrestling Buddy dolls! OMG

It's something I didn’t really notice growing up - time was a whole different concept to me then :D

I definitely think one needs some distance from it.

"I love the way you make me feel / You're so real" makes me wonder if she poops, too.

(I didn't get past the "Baby Alive" ad.)

[kittymink.livejournal.com]

I believe those did poop! There was one doll that did in fact. Baby Alive seemed both very magical and creepy to me!

[calzephyr77.livejournal.com]

You reminded me that you don't really see baby doll like this anymore, or maybe I haven't noticed. I should go to TRU for "research purposes" (I secretly love toys).

hmmmmm

[calzephyr77.livejournal.com]

Or I could just use the interwebs :) I guess they still make Baby Alive, but the sculpt isn't as nice.

It's been a long time since I've played a shmup, and even longer since one like Gradius.

[kittymink.livejournal.com]

I love shmups but they became such a niche thing. I do play this one but it takes committment! The developer made one other jetpack shmup for NES which is unfortunately called SCAT and is quite easy.
