Thoughts on this McDonalds game for the NES?
>>
really fun
>>
I played it a lot when I was a kid. It's a pretty good platformer.
>>
It's genuinely one of the best platformers on NES only after the most famous titles like SMB/Adventure Island/Tiny Toons/Duck Tales/etc
If someone told me he'd considered M.C. Kids to be better than Duck Tales I wouldn't be mad

it's propaganda and therefore the closest definition to art according to roger ebert

>2UP
What's "UP" an abbreviation for?
>>
>>12770780
It's a fantastic platformer with a great OST.

>"Extra life" sense borrowed from Japanese 1UPワンアップ (wan'appu) and perhaps popularized by Super Mario Bros. (1985); but the term existed earlier in multi-player pinball and other arcade games in the 1960s, where "1Up" and "2Up" were used as flashing notifications to indicate who would play next (or who was "up" next in order).
>https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/1-up

In other words the fact that "1-UP" means "extra life" is actually the second meaning of the word, derived from the first meaning (which player is up to play next). Just like "retro" meaning "actually old" is a second meaning derived from the first meaning "new thing in an old style"

MC Kids uses the first and oldschool (even for the time) meaning for 1UP and 2UP

Anyway for me, it's Extra Guy but only in Final Fight.

Only real niggas played as the black kid because they knew he could reach higher due to his afro.

It never ends with this game, it's just an infinite turd coming out of my ass, like an endless rope. Like when the fuck's it gonna be over? I can't stand this shit.

This is my wife's favorite game(the kids are 100% mine)
