  • Catching Mew in Pokemon Red and Blue versions

    This is an instructional video of how to catch Mew, the 151st Pokemon in the original Red and Blue versions, without the use of a cheating device, and on your first trip to Cerulean City.

    Answers to common questions:

    1. The trainer with the Slowpoke needs to walk up to you as shown in the video. You cannot walk just one block in front of him, or else your game will freeze.

    2. This was done on a Pokemon Blue from Player’s Choice. The reason for all the color is because the emulator I used to play it was a Super GameBoy emulator and the emulator uses colors which are not the same when you play the game with an actual GameBoy Color.

    3. Yes, this also works on Pokemon Yellow.

    4. No, this does not work in Fire Red and Leaf Green. This was a glitch which was not intended to be left in the game (just like Missingno) and was taken out in the much cleaner and glitch-free Fire Red and Leaf Green.

    5. An easier way to catch Abra is to catch a Caterpie in Viridian Forest and level it up to a Butterfree until it learns Sleep Powder (level 15 in yellow, level 17 in red and blue) and when it’s faster than an Abra.

    6. The music is called # for Arnhem Land (Long Edit) by Aalborg World Soundtracks, not Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones. I had to change the music but I actually like the new track better.

  • Total Recall review for NES

    Total Recall from Interplay and Acclaim from 1990, based on the original Total Recall movie! Sadly the game isn’t as good as the movie. In fact it’s not as good as a botched trip to Mars where you get attacked by mutants. The original Total Recall film was directed by the awesome Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Starship Troopers) and stars the highly quotable Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Ironside, Sharon Stone and Ronny Cox. This game is crap, but the movie is a masterpiece of late 1980’s style action films packed with one liners and brilliant laughs. Totall Recall videogame is a lousy side scrolling action game where you punch and shoot enemies in boring levels loosely based on the movie. CGR Totall Recall video review features Total Recall gameplay recorded from the NES Nintendo Entertainment System

  • PIKE’S PEAK & GHOST MANOR review for Atari 2600

    Classic Game Room reviews SPIKE’S PEAK and GHOST MANOR, two games on one XONOX double ender game cartridge for Atari 2600! This rare, collectible Atari 2600 game has two games on one oversized, unique Atari cartridge starting with Spike’s Peak which is an odd game where players control a mountain climber as he scales Spike’s Peak (not to be confused with Pike’s Peak) and dodges bird, fire, polar bears and rock slides. Ghost Manor is also a bizarre game where you control a girl who chases ghosts and then navigates mazes while also throwing spears at ghouls. CGR Spike’s Peak and Ghost Manor video review features gameplay from the XONOX double sided double-ender video game cartridge.

  • Classic Game Room : SPY HUNTER review for PS2

    Classic Game Room reviews SPY HUNTER for PlayStation 2 from Midway released in 2001. This awesome retro remake of Spy Hunter is more of a re-imagining of the series than a direct remake. Spyhunter gameplay is fast and awesome as you drive the new Interceptor through missions filled with enemies and obstacles. CGR Spy Hunter video review features Spyhunter PS2 gameplay in HD action recorded from PlayStation 2 (Spy Hunter is also available on Xbox, Nintendo Gamecube, PC and more). The original Spy Hunter was released in 1983 and while this game bears little in common with the original it is very challenging and filled with driving, shooting and boating! Watch as your car turns into a boat and motorcycle and crush enemies with missiles, machine guns and flame throwers!
