RAD episode 254-Darkwing Duck

    It has taken all the power of H.U.S.H to bring in this elusive super criminal Birdman but he has finally been brought to justice by today’s NES game…DARKWING DUCK!

    In this return edition of RAD from Birdman’s gaming sabbatical we look at a late release in the NES library. The Disney afternoon has inspired many games like Goof Troop, Talespin and others and met with varying degrees of success and how does this one fare? Birdman picks up the familiar grey controller and sets into St Canard and wonders if this beloved childhood show translated well into the 8 bit stylings of Megaman developer Capcom.
    Is this game the terror that flaps in the night or just another missed opportunity?

    *Editors note*
    We take the first couple minutes to discuss something serious related to Mike.
    If you are having difficulties of your own, do not be afraid to seek help.
    Thank you to all who wrote emails and sent Facebook messages and it really made a difference
    Love you all

    Birdman

    Mike Dodd is the guy who always said video games could be turned into a profession and eventually it turned out he was right. Mike is a passionate nerd about all facets of nerd culture from the love of the BBC’s Doctor Who to the very latest in the fight game scene, he’s on to it and likely turned into his new obsession. Dodd was raised to love all things that were pop culture from viewing his first horror movie at five years old to owning one of the first Nintendos in North America, it’s been a childhood dominated by the controller and movie screens and he couldn’t be happier. Roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons dominated the high school years and unhealthy doses of Japanese anime were frequent as he completed his education and took sometime off to explore Canada and the US. However as all good times must come to an end, a decision was made to get some experience and do something fun and learn something and meant getting involved in the media. Mike volunteered with Rogers Television and became the audio/technical director for several successful programs and decided that he should further that experience by going to college. 4 years and several massive headaches later, Mike became known as “The Birdman” of This week in Geek but that is a story for another website….
