Nerdiosity Adventures: 3 flash games that breathe new life into NES classics

Tuper Tario Tros: At first you’d probably think this was a rip off of Mario, starring three brothers instead of two. Any other guesses? Let me save you the agonizing aneurism and explain it to you. The game starts off in the original NES Mario’s World 1-1. You’ll side scroll a few screens then, uh oh, there’s a wall too high for Mario. That’s where Lakitu comes in. If you press a button on the keyboard, you can shift between the normal Mario gameplay to, wait for it…Tetris. Yes Tetris. Lakitu will help Mario jump over high blocks and large gaps by throwing down Tetris-like blocks. What’s even cooler is that there are two different scores going on, plus the music changes between each world. It’s pretty difficult too because it auto scrolls and time is of the essence for the red plumber. This is definitely the highlight of this Nerdiosity Adventures especially since IMegaman vs Ghosts’n Goblins: Two great and very difficult Capcom classics here. In this game, Mega Man is sent into the world of Ghosts and Goblins and well…that’s it. While simple, the swap with Mega Man changes the game dramatically. First off, attack wise, it’s pretty even since Sir Arthur and Mega Man both use ranged attacks against enemies. The inclusion of Mega Man’s health meter compared to Sir Arthur’s two hit health changes the game’s dynamics.But even with this change the game is still brutally difficult in due in part to my inability to play games well using a keyboard. I already had a bad enough time playing on the NES in a recent Bizarre Bits of the original game. I still got whooped even with my recent experience and the bonus of Mega Man’s larger health. So whether you’re a fan of these two games, or just want to challenge yourself, I suggest giving this bizarre flash game a shot.  Kock Kombat: Immediately you must think this is a porn game right? While I’m not above that and I plan on looking at some Hentai games in the future, no, this is not a sex game. Kock Kombat pits you in the role of a Cucco from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The sprite is armed with 3 abilities: moving, jumping, and a sword. Let’s just be frank here, this game is SUPER DUMB. It’s boils down to nostalgia that only fans of murdering these Cuccos in A Link to the Past can appreciate. Seeing various chicken sprites, including a Rooster who shoots laser beams, duke it out in the dungeons from Mortal Kombat is just plain silly. You’ll probably be entertained for a good…oh I say 10 minutes before you move onto something else, but hey, I guarantee Zelda fans will get a kick out of it.View the list »
This is the title screen for the game.

It's been awhile since I updated Nerdiosity Adventures. Lucky for you, I have been on the hunt for a ton of new stuff. I haven’t decided yet if I want to do this every week still, or change it to a bi-weekly, or even monthly status like Sexy Pixels. But make no mistake. When NA, or any of my other special features release, it’ll be well worth the wait. Moving on, for today I looked up three mashup, flash games starring some of your favorite Nintendo characters in bizarre worlds.
