Instruction Derby

No stream this week - consumed by GDC. See you next week!

@gtothenextlevel.com is this manual for real?

The entire setup page keeps saying "Deadly Moves".
I'm not playing Deadly Moves. I've already played Deadly Moves. Stop trying to make me play Deadly Moves again.

Can you confirm this is not a scan mistake and the manual is just this awful.

Oh this whole manual is nuts, thank you for the heads up!

Live!

We’ve got a game manual here

We are live over at twitch.tv/nicmcconnell

Classic mediocre guy unearned confidence smh

* the Chuck Norris one isn’t really a cautionary tale per se but it was a red flag how popular he got. Dude sucks!

Super smash tv on snes manual cover

Chuck Norris game for Atari manual cover. It has a lot of text: CHUCK NORRIS SUPERKICKS™ You are "Chuck Norris" trying to reach an ancient monastery to rescue a famous leader that is being held hostage, BEWARE! Dangerous warriors lie in waiting to spou your efforts to reach your goal. You begin your journey as a White Belt, the first belt in the sport of Karate. By defeating the attackers, scorng points, and learning new martial skills, you will earn each of the colored belts associated with the Tang Soo Do" style of karate, You must achieve the highest rank of all, the Black Belt, in order to reach and enter ひ the monastery which is guarded by the fearsome NINJA ASSASSINS
