Deadly Towers

When the Dudes said they intended on playing the good, the bad and the ugly on the NES, they were not kidding. This game comes from the gallows of the bad game repertoire.

Deadly Towers was brought to the NES from Japan by the company made more famous by their edutainment games, Broderbund. Perhaps they should have stuck to what they did best. As an action adventure game this one just did not stand up to the quality of other games of the times like Zelda and Wizards and Warriors.

While the Dudes may not have preferred this game to the many other great games that the NES has to offer, they had a great time discussing it.

Happy listening.

Raid On Bungeling Bay

Man, that box art sure is creepy……

The dudes reach into obscurity this week to pull out a little known or talked about game out of the NES vault. While most, (sans one sporting a ginger colored beard that may be awesome) have not heard of this game, the dudes hope to bring it into your NES experience.

The game has an awesome premise, being that you are a lone fighter against an empire that is trying to build up and take over the world. Oh, and these folks happen to go by the name bungeling…… whatever that means.

The dudes had a great time playing and reviewing this game. While the game itself might not have seen a lot of fame,the game franchise that was formed from the creator, in part inspired by the creation of this game, was one of the most popular gaming franchises of all time. The dudes hope you enjoy listening to this episode and maybe you become inspired to play this little known title.

Jaws

Jaws… the one NES game that has consumed more of the dudes’ collective time than any other game. Why didn’t they spend their wonder years playing co-op Contra? Why didn’t they compete in some intense high score competitions with Donkey Kong? Who knows. Maybe if they knew what they were doing they would have spent less time on it.

However, Jaws holds a place in the dudes’ legacy whether it is a good game or not. Be sure and listen to this week’s episode as Justin and Michael discuss their praises and complaints with Jaws.

Also, be sure and stick around as they try and defend themselves against a 2-star review on iTunes, talk Facebook feedback, and reveal the winners of the review contest.

Contra

Hold on the dudes are pumping some iron getting ready to bust out of their shirts to talk about the quintessential ’80′s game Contra.

Joining the dudes to talk about one of the most famous and loved games for the NES is Nick Stephens from the NES Podcast on the Retro Junkies Network. Nick was chomping at the bit to talk about this game mainly because he is a dude proclaimed expert for Contra.(I mean he beat it without the Contra Code for crying out loud)

The dudes talk about all things Contra in this bandana wearing, shirtless run and gun episode of 2 Dudes and a NES. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did recording it.
