The Future of VGA Chronicles

There's a lot of games in this vast world. Since the prehistoric era, people have been making and selling video games. I find this situation to be both fascinating and reassuring. As a video game reviewer, I have so many games to choose from that I'll never worry about getting bored (at least not for a long, long time). I'll still always randomly play and review games I've never heard of, but sometimes I have goals. There are games I've heard of or played before that I feel deserve videos sooner than later. So, here's a little something I've put together to keep track of that.


VGA CHRON GUY'S NOTABLE FUTURE GAMING UPLOADS LIST


The Winged Warrior series (MS-DOS/Windows) - A classic RPG series by Dataware. Something about this game really interested me when I was a kid. I'd like to do a solid run of all 3 shareware versions of the game. If you end up liking this series, I recommend buying the games.

Charlie the Duck (MS-DOS) - Basically Mario but as a duck. Concepts like this really interest me.

Mario 7-in-1 (NES) - Contains many bootleg Mario-esque games. One of them, known as 7 Grand Dad, is a popular meme on the world wide Internet. I want to play this game and experience it for myself. It will certainly be interesting.

His head looks like a deflated football.

Neopets (Browser) - Something I've played extensively years ago. I feel that this game needs both a tutorial video and a general play video. Believe it or not, this game used to be popular. Also, back in  my day, we had Neopets that no longer exist today or were limited of time. I recall one of my Neopets transforming into a new pet entirely due to change in design.

Habbo Hotel (Browser) - I have no idea how I discovered this "game" years ago in my youth, but back then it was an enigma. It seems that today, it still is. I have no idea what to make of Habbo Hotel or how to describe it. It just needs a video. By the way, sorry to all the people I lost touch with through Habbo. There's literally no way for you to know who I am or for me to know who you are, but at least I feel better apologizing for it now, even if you don't care.

Prairie Dog Hunt (Windows) - A fun little time waster from my MS-DOS / Windows gaming days. This one is for Windows, though I haven't touched it in a while and I'm having doubts it will run on Windows 10 without an emulator. You shoot prairie dogs, basically. Cruel, but funny. PETA would be proud.

Visual Star Trek (MS-DOS) - Don't hate me, but I've never seen Star Trek. I'm just not a big sci-fi guy. The genre is often too over my head or hard for me to relate to. However, I have played this game. And I always found this game to be deep and interesting. So, I'd like to do a video on it.

Kart Fighter (NES) - A well-known bootleg game for the NES. And to be honest, I'd like to own this on cartridge someday. I'm not sure what fighting game it's based on, but all the characters have been replaced with Nintendo characters. The mechanics are quite simple and the game is truly very dry. But there's some charm to it. Owning it would be like owning a piece of history. And playing it forces you to appreciate how simple it is and use your imagination to enhance it. Yeah, it's one of those games.

Kart Fighter's graphics weren't bad, honestly.

Monopoly (Multiple Consoles) - Haven't decided which version I want to play, but I feel that this game would make a great video considering I hate Monopoly.

Namco Museum (PS1) - Recommended by a close gamer friend of mine. I've tested the game somewhat, though I haven't granted it a true playthrough yet. One issue I have with the game already is I cannot find a soft reset. So, whenever I want to switch arcade games, I have to hard reset. If there's an easier way, or some menu I can access to get back to the museum, please someone tell me.

Zyuranger (Famicom) - This is something I'm really looking forward to. I'm guessing this is a tough game, but I'm a sucker for Japanese-based media. Zyuranger is the Super Sentai series that Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was based off of. With that knowledge in hand, it makes for a fun nostalgic trip back to the 90's for me to play this game.

Symphony of the Night (PS1) - This is one of the few later retro games that I want to try simply for the graphics. I've seen some footage of this game before and the look of it is mesmerizing. Although, I have a strong feeling I will not play very well on this game.

Super Mario Bros. 1 Totally not hacked or cheated in any form, a legit run (NES) - I'd like to prove myself in SMB1. Basically, I will be beating the entire game in one run. The game will not be hacked or cheated in any form. I'll be defeating each world single-handedly with no cheats. Absolutely no dabbling in cheat codes will occur. The game will be completely legit. I can do this. I will do this. You'll see.

This concludes my future uploads list at the moment. This doesn't mean that this is all there is left of VGA Chron. This is only a log of what I intend to do in the near future. And this list isn't over; A part 2 is coming soon. Stay tuned! Until then, please enjoy VGA Chronicles, as well as Super VGA Chronicles Live Streams!
