I have never heard of this game but I just discovered that it is the game I played on my graphing calculator all throughout high school. Never with as much rage, though. edit: ^^^ hahaha

dantheman650 posted:What a terrible game. Completely reliant on getting the one perfect piece you need to finish. Um.... that's kind of how two player puzzle games of this nature work. Have you never experienced waiting for just the right exploding gem on Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo? Also did you notice the mechanic whereby if you put a load of things between a bottom egg and a top egg so the stack gets destroyed that it puts additional drops on the other person's screen? it looked like when you just had one thing in between the egg shells it put 3 instead of 2 drops on the other person, and for more than 2 things between it put 4 drops. I hope that both of you realised but didn't tell the other!!

I think a mechanic like Mean Bean Machine is much better, in which you can attack the other player to try to force them to lose by reaching the top of the stack. You have an interesting choice with every single piece, because even if you can't make a match with the current piece, you can set up combos for the future. Yoshi is just frustrating because you can be down to just one piece and not get the correct piece you need to clear it. You can't make any progress or do anything interesting while waiting for that piece. It's much like single player Dr. Mario in that sense. Not a good puzzle mechanic, especially for 2-player games.

The real truth is that most two-player puzzle games are very luck-based and developers don't give a poo poo because ruining friendships has long been the goal of game designers.

They didn't realise it in the video, but that's actually how the game works. The more monsters between eggshell pieces when they close, the more monsters drop on the other side. The more usual way to win in 2 player is to get a bottom shell on the very bottom, fill that shell all the way to the top of the screen with monsters, then position it under a top shell. The shell condenses and the opponent goes through like four or five drops of 4 monsters at a time.

I'll have to go on the "unimpressed" side of things for this title. Regardless of the merits of two-player mode, there doesn't seem to be much depth in the game itself, and it's certainly not a quick play. The conclusion of the video seems to be the most fun to be had out of it.

Complain about "Yoshi" being slow. "I WON, I WON DAMMIT, NO YOU SUCK!" That was pretty much a Kyle and Keith video right there in a nutshell. Faaaaantastic stuff guys, that was real fun to watch.

The slo-mo replay was beautiful.  I forgot I had this game as a kid, and that I played it way more than I should have. After years of being free from its clutching grasp, that music is imprinted into my ear canals once again. Thanks guys.

Oh hey, that place in Cape Cod mall's been a favorite haunt of mine for getting old games for a while now. Spindle City I think it's called?  According to a conversation I had with one of the guys who works there, their hiring policy is to hire on guys that know about the retro game reselling market. I remember once getting excited that they had an Earthbound cartridge, only to learn they'd already reserved it for a buyer.  Jesus christ though, you guys gave my inner child conniptions in that latest video. I don't know if it's my biased having-played-Yoshi-on-GB-as-a-kid knowledge or what, but that was almost infuriating to watch.  How did you never notice you pass more pieces on when you get big eggs?

Pulling off combos buries your opponent. I always check for it because it's nearly always a mechanic.

Considering how much Keith would go out of his way to clear out the space above an eggshell, I would say they did not. Also, goodbye to the NES?! There's at least two more games if not three (depending on your view of a specific spin-off character's efforts without Mario) and one of them even is a completely different Mario and Yoshi puzzle game!

I was talking about Yoshi's Cookie. It was first released on the NES and Game Boy, then later the SNES. I also meant Mario Is Missing and Wario's Woods in my statement, and the first one I think is what you meant, looking them up-the snes version (which isn't identical strictly) was first for that one. Wario's Woods game out on NES first though.

The thing you all said we didn't notice I think we both totally noticed. At some point, I went like several full minutes without recieving a single shell top so I just resigned myself to clearing the screen the old fashioned way.

So I was messing around with my TI-84 Plus Silver Edition in class the other day to come across a Yoshi clone in some puzzle game pack. It's called Dino Puzzle or something like that, and it's literally the same game, just turned on it's side and lacking Mario and Luigi. It also didn't have a cute little Yoshi come out when you got the egg shells together, which was disappointing

The latter was very impressive. Now that I think about it, I had a Mario game as well, but I think it was just the first level/world of Super Mario Land...

We had TI-82s so they weren't as capable as some calculators, and the most advanced game that would go around would be an x-wing game where you flew around shooting tie fighters. It actually worked pretty drat well.
