Dennison Speedrome…….
Dennison Speedrome is 0.375 miles long and has 24 degrees of baking…… You need a good handling here here to deal with the high banking……. This high banked narrow track will test the patience of the drivers…. With 20 Featherlite Modified cars on the track for the race…… The chrome horn will be used a lot…... As this short track brings out even shorter tempers……
Dick continues his domination of the Weekly Dirt Racing Series…… Taking another impressive win yesterday at Eagan Speedbowl……. There was not much time to celebrate though as Dick then had to drive through the night to be here today……. It is looking good for Dick to three-peat the Weekly Dirt Racing Series championship…….. When will he pause for a rest???…….

2005 Weekly Dirt Racing Series: Round 6 of 10…...
Dick will be looking to carry that performance onto today as he looks to well and truly put one one hand on that championship trophy……. Gray Soros will be desperate for a win to prove he should be a championship contender…….. Mike Hemeseth also really needs a win to stay in contact with Dick…… While last years champion Jason Sulivan not only needs a win but he also needs Dick to DNF a race or two to bring himself back into contention……. Lets hope Sulivan has caught those loose roos in the top paddock during the week and we have a sensible day of racing……..
Dont touch the sets...... Dont touch the dials...... You wont want to miss a single moment of the 2005 Featherlite Modified Series....… Practice and qualifying are coming up right now……

Dick Trickle at the track ready to race.…
Dick went out and did just a few practice laps to make sure the car was setup properly….. He was using the same setup he used here in Round 1……. As Dick said to me earlier “Why change a winning setup?”……. And that is very true…… After a few laps Dick pulled out of the practice session to conserve the car……. He was very happy with how the car was going……
Qualifying was up next and Dick was right to be happy….. Setting the fastest time to claim another pole position with a 12.715……. Dick was 0.2 seconds faster than last years champion Jason Sulivan who seemed to have captured the loose roos….. As he set a quick time of 12.982……..
Third was Francis Lee with a very respectable time of 13.177……… Fourth was Joel York who set a time of 13.365……..
And rounding out the top five was William Anderson who set a good time of 13.414…….. Looks like he could be in for a good result which has been missing from the past few weeks…….
The man second in the champion Gray Soros was just outside in the top five……. He set the sixth fastest time with a time of 13.533…….. He can still get a good result from there……..

Dick Trickle lined up ready to start the race......
Dick lead the first to the green flag for the 100 lap race…… Dick thrusted of the start……. But Jason Sulivan was right there with him…… Jason Sulivan needs this win badly to stay in the championship hunt……. He cant let Dick get away……..
Francis Lee, Joel York and William Anderson are right behind them……. They are having a great scrap for third……
Through turn one and Dick gets the lead……. With Jason Sulivan right up his rear…….. On the exit Sulivan gets a great run to the inside…… Dick sees it and slams the door shut……. Making very slight contact with Sulivan…….
Sulivan flips Dick the bird “Im going for first” says Jason Sulivan…….. As Sulivan is desperately trying to keep in touch with Dick…….
Meanwhile Joel York managed to pass Francis Lee through the exit of turn two…… With William Anderson right there ready to take advantage if anything was to go wrong…….
Dick managed to eek out a little gap down the back straight and through turns three and four Dick maintained that gap……. He is vulnerable while his tyres are cold……. If Sulivan is to have any hope of winning he really needs to overtake Dick right now.....
Also through turns three and four Francis Lee retakes third place from Joel York…… The pair are having a great battle for third place……..
After a few laps and Dick got the heat into the tyres and he was off like a brides nighty……. Jason Sulivan could only watch helplessly as Dick disappeared into the distance……
William Anderson has managed to make a good move around the outside to pass Joel York……. This is the best race Anderson has had in weeks…… As he is now attacking Francis Lee for third place…..
On lap 18 the championship complexion changed……. As Dick came up to lap Jason Sulivan……… Sulivan left a gap on the for Dick to go through…… Only to slam the door shut……. Dick saw this and jumped on the anchors……. And watched as Sulivan just grazed the front of his car……. Sulivan who was expecting to hit Dick harder than that…….. Went sailing down the track and collided hard with the inside wall…...
Dick continued with no damage……. Jason Sulivan bounced off the inside wall and back up the track he was collected by a slowing down Danny Seaman who just could not stop in time……. Seaman who was tenth at the time suffered some minor damage to the front of his car……. But was able to continue while Jason Sulivan was out of the race……. His tore up race car coming to rest against the inside wall again……. He learnt that if you are going to try and play hard with Dick you need to watch out for Seaman.......
Jason Sulivan climbs out of the car and slams his helmet on the roof……. He is really not a happy man at all…… When Dick comes back around he flips Jason Sulivan the bird “Im going to take first” says Dick……… Sulivan flips the bird back to Dick “I was first last year” says Sulivan……..
Sulivan is effectively out of the running for the championship now……. Hes going to need a real miracle to get back to back championships……. What a terrible year he is having…...
Back to the action and Joel York has passed William Anderson…… For what is now third place……. And he is now hunting down Francis Lee who now sits in second place after Jason Sulivans DNF…….
Gray Soros has now been promoted to fifth place…….. Hes not making any headway into William Anderson ahead of him……. But no one would complain about another top five finish at this stage of the championship…….. He just does not have the pace today to complete with the top four…….
At the half way point and Dicks lead is huge…….. He has the entire field at least 3 laps down…...His pace has dropped off a but since the Jason Sulivan incident…… Dick just really wants to bring the car home now……
Joel York has captured Francis Lee and is all over his rear…….. The traffic has been playing a major roll with this battle….. With Lee just getting the better of it at the moment…… But York is not giving up……. He would dearly love a second placed finish today……..
William Anderson is not to far behind the Francis Less and Joel York…… Not close enough to challenge directly but he is close enough to take advantage of any mistakes the pair might make…….
Francis Lee has big trouble with a gaggle of lapped cars and Joel York takes advantage of that straight away to sneak past Lee to grab second place…….. Lee shakes his head in frustration……. Clearly not happy with the lapped cars getting in his way……. He was also very lucky to keep William Anderson behind him……. He was almost able to get past as well…...
Even though Joel York has passed Francis Lee he is not getting away and Francis Lee is almost attached to Yorks rear end…… This battle looks like it will go right down to the last lap……..
With only a few laps left……. Dick has a commanding lead……. With only mechanical gremlins able to stop Dick from winning this race……
Joel York is still madly defending second place from Francis Lee who is working over Yorks rear end…… Hes not going to give up trying to get second place back thats for sure…….
William Anderson is in a comfortable fourth place while Gary Soros is having a very quiet race in fifth now…… I dont see either of them getting any more positions……
Meanwhile Jason Sulivan is sitting on the roof of his car and has been flipping Dick the bird every time he comes around….. Constantly reminding Dick that he was first last year……. I have never seen that before…..
As the chequered flag waved Dick took the win with ease……. The Grinch Performance Modified Flaming Dick Machine was totally unstoppable out there today……. He will be very pleased with that win…… Its a very important win championship wise…….
Joel York is still defending hard as they enter turn three for the final time…… FRANCIS LEE SPOTS A GAP ON THE INSIDE AND HES GOING FOR IT………. THEY ARE SIDE BY SIDE THROUGH TURNS THREE AND FOUR………. FRANCIS LEE OVER TAKES JOEL YORK EXITING TURN FOUR…….. AND FRANCIS LEE TAKES SECOND PLACE………. Oh what a finish……… Sensational driving from both men……..
Francis Lee takes second place right at the death……. He might be 6 laps behind Dick……. But after a finish like that I dont think he will care one bit……. What a maneuver he pulled off on the last turn to snatch second place……
Joel York finishes third……. What a disappointing ending for York……. He defended so well until the last lap where he left the door open for Francis Lee and he came right in…… Third is still an excellent result…….. But he dearly wanted that second placed finish…….
Third was William Anderson who just had no answers for the guys in front……. He was fast but not fast enough……. He will have to settle with fourth place….. Im sure he will be happy with that after the past few races…….. He was also 6 laps behind the winner
Similar story for Gray Soros who finished fifth……. He was fast…… As he was able to run in the top five for most of the race but just never had the pace to challenge for any positions……. He was a 7 laps behind Dick…….

Race Results..…
After the race Dick did a monumental burnout that went around the entire Dennison Speedrome…… The crowed went absolutely nuts and a huge “Thank you Dick” chant broke out as Dicks car totally disappeared in a cloud of tyre smoke……. Hes really excited about that win……….
As he should be as its a very important victory for Dick as he now has a 195 point lead in the championship…. That means he can DNF twice and still keep the championship lead……. It also means he can now skip an entire race and still keep the championship lead……..
When the Grinch Performance Modified Flaming Dick Machine finally appeared out of the smoke….. Dick made his way to victory lane…….. A very happy and excited Dick climbed out of the car and was met with an almost equally happy and excited Pussy Galore who embraces Dick and gives Dick a big kiss…….
As Pussy Galore is embracing Dick……… Jason Sulivan comes storming over yelling obscenities and making threats towards Dick…… Dick yells obscenities back……. Before Sulivan can get to close race officials coming running in to grab Sulivan and escort him away from victory lane…….
Jason Sulivan and Dick continue to yell obscenities at each other as Sulivan is led away…… Pussy Galore not one to miss out on the action……… Gets in a few obscenities of her own…….
After the commotion I managed to get a hold of Dick to get a few words with the winner……. “Cheers Murray……. That win has really taken off a lot of pressure off me in the championship now……. A two DNF lead is a very good thing to have……. Just like with [Jason] Sulivan my luck has to run out sooner or later and having that cushion is very important going into the back half of the season……..”
“The Grinch Performance Modified Flaming Dick Machine was amazing out there today Murray……. A bit of a slow start but once the heat gets into the tyres and the pressures build up its superb to drive…… As per usual the team did a fantastic job prepping the car for this race……”
“As for that incident with [Jason] Sulivan…… He very clearly tried to take me out and just like with everything else hes done this year he failed miserably……. And now hes way down the championship order and basically out of championship contention already……..”
“Im sure he will try that again in the future…… He really needs to do as well it to have any hope of winning the championship now……. I just need to keep my eye on him and get ready to avoid him if necessary……. Just like I did today and hope he takes himself out…….. That is one area he has not failed at this season”
“We will just have to wait and see what happens next week……. Im going to keep on going for wins and staying out of trouble….. I dont need to do anything stupid now thats for sure…… Im hoping it will be a nice quiet race next week…….. Will see you there Murray…...”
Well there you have it folks…….. That is one almighty focused Dick…….
Next week the 2005 Featherlite Modified Series heads to Richmond International Raceway….. The first trip there this season……..
Can Dick continue his winning ways next week???……. Can Gray Soros bounce back from a rather disappointing fifth place finish????……. Can Joel York put todays heartbreaking finish behind him???……. As for last years champion Jason Sulivan…….. He will be spending the week praying to whatever deity will listen to him to try and get the miracle he needs……. And will they answer his prayers????……...
Tune in next week for the answers to all these questions and more….. Exclusively here on Left Turn Heaven……..
This is Murray Eastlake reporting for Left Turn Heaven..... And until next time its goodbye from me....

A love story between a man and his mask……..
The graphics….. The graphics are fantastic for the NES…… Very colourful with nice large cute looking sprites…… The enemies also have a cuteish look to them as well….. It all fits together very well with the overall theme of the game…...
The sounds……. The sounds are fine…… Nothing special but are very well done….. The music is good and the sound effects are also good…… Again its nothing special but it all fits together really well…….
The controls…… Are fine…… The jump is a bit floaty and can cause some minor difficulties on the platforming sections…….. The attack with the axe is fine…… The hotbox is quite generous as long as you get the timing right…… Can be slightly finicky to get through doors…. As you need to have I Cant Believe Its Not Jason Voorhees stand in just the right spot to go through the door…….
Its nothing game breaking but its slightly annoying at times……...
The storyline….… The mighty Krang Pumpkin has been resurrected and has kidnapped April O’Neil and its up to the Ninja Tur……… Hang on……. *shuffles papers*........ Wrong game…….
The Pumpkin King has been resurrected by a lightning bolt and has kidnapped Jennifer…… Luckily another lightning bolt has also resurrected I Cant Believe Its Not Jason Voorhees…… AKA: Rick……. And its up to
Jason VoorheesRick to save his girlfriendApril O’Neil...... Jennifer…….The gameplay…...… Is really simple……. Its a bog standard action platformer……. Its not a very difficult game and its not to long either…… Should be able to complete it in less than 90 minutes…….
A interesting mechanic is the health bar……. The more enemies you kill the more your health bar grows……. You can get through the vast majority of this game without killing anything besides the bosses…… But then you wont have a large health bar for when it comes to the bosses……
Speaking of the bosses….. They are all very well horror themed….. A thriller dancing Dracula……. The Fly……… Chestburters from Alien…… They are all really well done and none of them are super hard……. Its mostly dodging projectiles while waiting for the boss to get in attack range…… And repeat……. Its more a test of endurance……..
Overall…… Its a great parody game that doesnt sacrifice the gameplay at the expense of the parody…… Its a very well done game…… And any one who likes the other Splatterhouse games should really check this one out……..
And that is why my final score for Splatterhouse - Wanpaku Graffiti is a bag of candy out of 10…….

Australia vs South Africa……….
Australia won the toss and elected to bowl first…… And that turned out to be a good decision…… As Australia put on a good bowling display…….
South Africa finished their 20 over innings 7/179…… Steve Waugh and Adam Dale picked up 2 wickets each…….
Australia came out to bat needing 180 to win……. And disaster on on the first ball as Michael Di Ventuo was bowled by Shaun Pollock for a duck……. This brought out the in form Steve Waugh to the crease….. Who with his brother Mark Waugh put on a great partnership to right the Australian ship…… With Steve Waugh taking most of the strike……. He is the man in form this tournament…...
Mark Waugh was out caught in the deep for 20…… He was not a happy man when he walked off the field…… Michael Bevan was the next man in…… And there was not a lot of time for him to do much……..
Michael Bevan managed to knock around a handy 6 runs as he kept Steve Waugh on strike who was in devastating form with the bat and ball today……. Steve Waugh ended the innings 152 not out as Australia ran out winners very easily in the end….. Reaching the required 180 in 10.2 overs with the loss of 2 wickets…….
Steve Waugh was once again named Man of the Match…….
Australia is now through the Final…….

Following on from the unexpectedly-excellent Bomberman Hero (Nintendo 64) last week, which is the only 3D platformer in the series (and only the second N64 game ever that I genuinely fully like), my pick for this week is Pocket Bomberman (Game Boy Colour), the only 2D platformer in the series. How could I say no to this? It combines two of the things that I love the most about gaming - Bomberman and 2D platforming!
View cookie preferences.
Accept & Show Accept All & Don't show this again Direct Link
Pocket Bomberman was released for the original monochrome Game Boy in Japan at the end of 1997 and the PAL regions in 1998, and then a version for the Game Boy Colour was released in North America in 1998 and the PAL regions in 1999. I'll be playing the Game Boy Colour version here, since, unlike some other colourised releases for the GBC, there aren't really any differences between the two aside from the colour version having a slightly better translation of the tiny amount of in-game text than the black-and-white one does. It plays out, unsurprisingly, like Bomberman crossed with a 2D platformer, sharing conventions from both - with bombs sticking in mid-air as if placed on a grid in the series' standard top-down view, which you can then use as temporary platforms, as well as to blow up enemies and blocks. And look at how cool that intro is!

It doesn't actually star the Bomberman, but rather a Bomberman (specifically one seeking to become a Bomber Hero, which is a class that appears in a couple of other games), and is chronologically the first part of a themed trilogy spanning this game, the strategy-RPG Bomberman Wars (PlayStation/Saturn), and the more traditional Bomberman game, Bomberman World (PlayStation/PC), though they were not released in that order. All of them share a loose medieval-fantasy theme (owing to the Bombermen adopting aspects of human culture, since they were created by humans), which informs the theming of Pocket Bomberman's bosses, and also results in some very nice in-game artwork as well.

It's all super-well-presented, easy to pick up, a ton of fun (especially the rare Wings power-up, which allows infinite multi-jumps in the few levels where it appears), and very, very charming, and the only negative thing that I could possibly say about it is that, even when accounting for the included "Jump Game" mini-game (a short auto-jumping mini-game with three difficulty-levels and a high-score table), it's very short. This works fine for its pacing and I wouldn't have wanted it to be longer and potentially outstay its welcome, but the issue with it is that they never made another game in this style, which is a massive pity. It's no exaggeration to call Pocket Bomberman one of the Game Boy Colour's hidden gems!
Incidentally, since you guys've been stuck with this crazy Bomberman lady for a while now, for anyone wondering just what I find so appealing about Bomberman (other than the series being fun and varied, the first multiplayer phenomenon to spawn from home-gaming instead of being adapted from an arcade-game, one of the only surviving franchises in its main genre, and having a damn cute protagonist ), during the week I stumbled across this excellent article about the character's and franchise's versatility, which should hopefully shed some light.
Bomberman's a very versatile guy! The article isn't being hyperbolic in describing him as being equivalent to many of Nintendo's famous protagonists rolled into one - in his heyday, that's just how it was. Bomberman was more "Mr. Video Game" than Mario ever was - something helped along by the fact that he's a human-like robot, which opens up several more genres that he can work well with, not to mention that he was on just about every platform going.
The franchise was once very important to the games market as a whole (and honestly needs to claw its way back up to that - hopefully the more experimental nature of Super Bomberman R 2 is a sign that they want to start branching out again, whilst also keeping the mainline gameplay available as well, just as it was handled in the past), and I don't want to see that legacy fade. If I don't share my enthusiasm, who will?
But yes, please do give the article a read if you're curious about why Bomberman is so great!

This is my favourite Grinch screenshot-edit so far.
It is a fine game, in the grand tradition of Japanese developers of that era spoofing their own games.
I like avocados. I do not like this ad. It's cringe-inducing.
Oh Christ.

Fixed it..... We all know your "secret" identity......... Its not much a "secret" now anyway........
Thats a nice filter you put over that picture and some nice editing skills as I dont believe you can jump that high....... This angle makes it look even more like a M.C. Esher designed house.......
Hmmmmm...... If your asleep who is taking the photo of you???........ That has to be staged 100%........
But what if we arnt curious???......
Its the return of Alucard the most beautiful vampire on the cosmos......
The grass in that game looks more like spikes..... Very dangerous........
Why does he have a bomb with a spear through it on his back????......
I had a lot of trouble finding a good spot for him this week...... Nice to know I picked a good spot.....
It is a really good game and I think more people should give it a play through.......
I read that in the Avacados from Mexico jingle song........
Yet you still laughed im sure.....
Oh dear...... All that build up for a bad dad joke....... Never change Grogan........ Never change........

Wahaha! Very funny.

You should probably read it anyway.
He seems to hang around here almost as much as Bomberman does!
I always liked the stylised plants and grass in the early games. It's certainly better than "hiring this man", at any rate!
Well, would you want to fight a guy who's carrying a bomb-spear?
Perfect.
I did.

Thought you would like it
You it took me AGES to realise what that was....... For the longest time I thought it was bombermans face wearing a huge helmet and that his hand and hand reflection where lips.... and his arm was a neck........
Yes yes...... Keep laughing at that..... I already know im crazy and failed the ink blot test......
Ok..... I will......
Now its got me thinking of a spin off I can do...... The more clothes Pussy Galore loses....... The harder Dick drives......
Makes sense........ Halloween wasnt to long ago......
But hes amazing!!!......
The way he uses Unreal Engine....... Anyway he can......
Does he impale enemies with the spear and then the bomb explodes????....... That would be very creative......
Something no one has ever said about that commercial......
I knew it..... Just wait till the next joke......... *evil laugh*.........

And Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was a good game, so he's totally earned his place.
Hahahahahahaha! The song is pure genius. Same goes for "Nintendo Hell", which is based on the "Robot Hell" song from Futurama.
Nah, but that would be a cool idea if they ever did a follow-up to Pocket Bomberman.
Oh lord...
