And I decided to turn the James Bond gameplay into a playthrough, so heres zone 2, I barely took a hit on my practise runs, talking must mess with my concentration or something ! Oh sure the practise runs were prefect, but it all went to pot when the camera was rolling I actually find it much harder to talk and play at the same time, especially if it’s a game I haven’t played much before. Looking forward to your play through so I can see the fabled second level!

Wow, James Bond just got brutal!!! I made it to the last level last night, and as I didn't know my way around some of the 4th zone I lost a fair few lives and had to use a continue. So when you get to the last level, all the briefcases you've collected and hostages you've rescued are added up and the total gives you your time limit to finish the last level in. As I'd used a continue only the stuff I'd collected since counted towards my total, 96 Q cases! That gave me a time limit of 60 seconds. The last level is really easy, you just have to run through and save 3 hostages before running to the end, unfortunately it's impossible to do it in 60 seconds! You can reach the end without hostages with about 2 seconds to spare, but the hostages take 8 shots a piece to rescue plus one is off the path slightly so you need an extra 30 seconds at least, and if you don't rescue them it just tells you to try again . Anyway, part 3 of the playthrough is up, part 4 will follow after I've mastered the 4th zone!

Haha, tough break. I did actually know about needing to collect cases for time on the last level but thought I'd let you find out the hard way When you were saying things like "you don't need the cases, they're just bonus points" in your videos, in my head I was going "little does he know, bwa ha ha". Enjoying the videos as usual by the way. I'll think of another game to request you to play.

Hahaha, I can just imagine you sitting there sniggering lol. I must admit it was quite a shock, but a good twist and one that makes you try so much harder too!

Though they can be frustrating, it definitely increases the replayability. I was going to list some twists I like but don't want to spoil anything for anyone. Watching you play this is making me want to give it a quick blast. Think I'll do that when I get home.

SHMUP time!!! Bomber Raid is the game of choice, a really cool little game, but I do find it hard to talk and play shmup's at the same time!!! As I get further into the game, expect the commentary to drop off slightly ;D ;D ;D. Part 1: EDIT: And here's part 2 :

And here's part 4. I screwed up big time at the beginning of this vid, I was sitting back down after unpausing the console - and crashed and lost all my power ups . I persevered though and managed to make it through on a wing and a prayer!

It all looks so easy when you play these games. I'll pick it up and see just how difficult it is. Well done!

Sounds like I'm not the only one who really enjoys your videos. They should be getting more views then they are. You're a naturally entertaining guy, your playthroughs are miles better than a lot of the other stuff out there.
Perhaps if you turned into it into more of internet series it could be really big!
You could do what no one else is doing and create a show that showcases SMS games. Or you could play games over a range of consoles if you prefer.
You'd need to up your production values a bit (cool intro, cuts, voiceover, etc.) and think of a cool name, but I think it would be awesome.

Aye, its all good stuff. I watched the Bomber Raid, James Bond and Alien 3 playthroughs yesterday. I like the Pick-Ups stuff as well, although, being selfish, the PS1\PS2 stuff I skip past, to get to the more interesting (for me) Master System and Mega Drive stuff. So yeah, MOAR playthroughs, MOAR Master System and Mega Drive vids. I even quickly blasted to level 9 on Alien 3, to check out those power-ups on a platform that you can't reach, and after a bit of research I've found - you can't reach them. I did find a way of glitching into the wall, but that just gets me stuck in the roof above the power-ups. You can get them with a GameGenie code, so maybe it's just a little something for peeps using a cheat device? Very strange. Also, while I'm at it, another ganders at the Master System collection would be good, at some point in the future. You can never have too much info and detail about a nice collection like that. You can learn a thing or two, and n00bs like me can get a better idea of what things should cost - although I don't know how ninjabearhug feels about letting peeps know what he paid for stuff. When you are just starting out, and all you have is a Rarity List, and a sea of overpriced BIN auctions staring you in the face, its great to see and hear a proper collector telling you whats what. Plus, the geezer has the gift of the gab, so you can watch his vids, without losing the will to live. In short - MOAR!

More videos would definitely be good, but I can understand the “work” involved in getting them put together and upload so it's not necessarily practical to do more. Same goes for spending more time on production. Personally I think the videos don't really need anything else, as your personality brings enough to the table to make them engaging as it is.
Having said that I'm surprised that you haven't gotten more views, especially for some of your play through videos, so perhaps some of Ian's suggestions would broaden your audience.
