Ice Hockey is a timeless classic. Anyone who doesn't feel get nostalgiac watching the Zambonis before 3rd period missed out on their youth (or, at least, my youth). Spend 10 bucks and get this and Tecmo Bowl, and have some laughs with the guys. I can guarantee both these games are getting downloaded like crazy on college campuses, and they deserve it. Their simplicity recalls a simpler time, and their pick-up-and-play fun hasn't faded through all these years.

What a great game! Like Kirby's Adventure, this is one of those few Virtual Console games that I'd never played before, and for some reason, that makes the buy just that much better. After downloading Super Star Soldier and not liking it (mostly to what I thought was insane/unfair difficulty), I was shying away from shooters on the VC. To me, it didn't feel worth it to play through 2 levels of a game and give up. I avoided R-Type 3 for awhile, but I'm glad I finally gave it a chance.

This is one of my top 3 VC downloads so far. A challenging game, but fair, and it allows you to "continue" endlessly and progress. Well worth the 800 points.
