In all of this obscure 2D and old school flavored gaming fever, I recalled a stupid video I saw a few years back on youtube. It was a parody of the Angry Video Game Nerd. The Happy Video Game Nerd, he called himself, and while the video is embarrassing and gimmicky, he showed me a gem. A game I'd never gotten to play in my childhood. Back in those days when there wasn't much of an internet and most people didn't have a way to access it, it was all word of mouth and magazines. So I'm not surprised I'd never heard of a little game called Metal Storm. Look it up. It's truly badass and even ahead of its time in some ways. 
 
I'm gonna be taking a look at a few old games retailers this Sunday. Wish me luck.
