Classic Game Room HD – IKARI WARRIORS for NES review

28th May

Classic Game Room HD reviews IKARI WARRIORS from SNK for the Nintendo Entertainment System NES. This 1986 version of the arcade masterpiece is bright, loud, shooty and it’s Ikari Warriors! You can almost see the sweat on the beefcakes running through the jungle machine gunning mindless waves of enemies. Take command of tanks, helicopters and foot power as you shoot and destroy everything that moves. Play with a friend for 2 player co-op gameplay. This Ikari Warrios review has gameplay footage from the NES game cartridge, Ikari Warriors showing game play from the Nintendo Entertainment System. Classic Game Room HD reviews NES games as a retro reviewer reviewing classic NES carts like Ikari Warriors from 1986. Old school shooting awesomeness. With other SNK titles like King of Fighters being released today, will Ikari Warriors be remade for the PS3 Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 XBLA any time soon? We need a modern remake of Ikari Warriors with Robotron style controls! This Ikari Warriors arcade machine had a very unique rotating joystick design, too bad the NES version does not.

info on dance forms?

27th May

on which site can i find information on the various dance forms including related videos that represent them??dance forms like salsa,waltz,cuba,hip-hop etc…….

I doubt there is one site with all types of dance incuding video.

When you say "Cuba" I'm not sure if you mean afro-cuban or just everything danced in Cuba or what. But here are some various Dance videos of Cuba dances. These are NOT ballroom versions of the dances but how people actually dance at parties in real life, so-called "social dancing". Some of the are performances but still very "real life". This is just scratching te surface of Cuban dances.

Casino (Cuban style salsa)
Cuban salsa differes form US styles in that it is danced in a rotational manner rather than a straight line and there is no spinning but rather the moves are very "twisty and tangly". If you don't rotate through the moves you get stuck and can't untangle yourselves.
Note: At about 1:25 they switch to dancing rumba guaguancó and at about 3:00 they dance tembleque-guaguancó and back to casino. This is because they are responding to changes in what is happening in the rhythm section during the song.

Rueda de casino
This is casino (Cuban salsa) danced as a group. In this case one dancer calls out the moves and they are performed in unison. Anyone who knows the names of the moves can join in a rueda. Here is a group perfomring at a competition in Cuba.

Son
Son is the basis of all salsa. It's the stuff you heard with Buena Vista Social Club. It's danced contratiempo, i.e. on 234 rather than on 123 and is more elegant than salsa but not as exciting maybe.

Chachacha

Changüí
Also an old dance style, similar to son. Changüí music originated in Guantánamo, Cuba

Rumba Guaguancó
Guaguancó is a couples dance that imitates men/women and courtship The man tries to "vaccinate" the woman. The Vacunao is a movement towards the woman's pelvis and can be done by the man with his pelvis, hand, foot head, elbow…just about anything. The woman has to be ready for this to come at any time and must cover herself to protect herself from the vacunao. You know how oit is, if a man gets what he wants he moves on to the next woman.

Here is a video of teacher demonstrating guaguancó, but keep in mind it can be quie varied and has lots of room for persnal interpretation of the music.

Here is some guaguanco at a performace in Havana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBlbYY8EaR4

Rumba Yambú
Yambú is slow rumba in which the dancers imitate old people often with a cane and showing signs of the aches and pains of old age.

Rumba Columbia
Columbia is usually fast and is only danced by men. the mne often chalenge each other to see who is the better dancer. Sometiems thay dance with knives or dance bildfolded around bottles set up on the floor.

Rumba Jiribilla
This isn't danced as often today

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_W2A2UL944

Dances of the Orishas
the Cuban Religio Santería combines African gods with Catholicism. The ceremonies are still sung in Yoruba and the various saints all have their own dances. Here are some samples

Eleguá is the god who opens the doors and paths in life. Eleguá is a child and is mischevious. He is there at the beginning and the end. the stick he carries is called a garabato and is used to open the doors. Religious ceremonies are always opened with the songs for Eleguá.

Oyá, Changó & Oggún:
Oyá is the Queen of cemetaries
Changó is the king of drums and represents virility and dresses in red and white.
The guy in the grass skirt with the machete is Oggún he is the god of iron and one of the 3 warriors.
In this particular story they are fighting over Oyá

Yemayá is the godess of the sea and the mother goddess
