@KingMike: Ha, I thought "Battle in the opening story!" was a weird thing to advertise on the box.
@ogo79: I didn't see a difficulty select on the title screen, will G.. Joe tell me that after I beat it?

To blessed to be stressed.
80's music makes me feel fabulous.

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)

Falchion

Last weekend I picked up Aladdin (SNES, with manual), F Zero (SNES) and Viewtiful Joe (GCN). I am enjoying all three of these games and I have already beaten Aladdin.

Put in a few more orders.
Might & Magic III CIB and Obitus CI for SNES. Nearly a full SNES RPG library now (either SNES or SFC, not necessarily both). I think I only miss Ultima VII (probably going to be expensive) and Brandish 2 (probably not expensive). I am excluding the one PAL-exclusive I know of because I have no compatible hardware (Might & Magic II, as I read the English version is a separate port than the Japanese). I think I mentioned no one region got all the first three games on Nintendo hardware.
Taz-Mania and Daffy Duck for Game Boy loose. I did enjoy Looney Tunes when I was a kid. Decent side-scroller but typical of Sunsoft nice music (I recall the Tweety song was particularly good). Going to see if the other Sunsoft LT games hold up.

How old does a game have to be for it to be considered retro?

Backloggery. Now playing: 3D Dot Game Heroes, Donkey Kong, EarthBound Beginnings, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, and Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+.

Them funny indie critters, constantly stealing ideas from classic franchises and layering them in cheap Flash visuals.
Here's an example

ReVen = Metroid

That, or using completely fake-looking faux 8-Bit style, over and over and over and over.

Good luck beating Viewtiful Joe. That game's hard...

Try breating it's sequel...I finished both.

Ironically I found the sequel easier outside of some spots, despite playing it first. Those "spots" however, were some of the most rediculously frustrating sections I've ever delt with, though.

That could be a contender for longest game title, if you're like the people who could a SNES fighting game's full title "Hey Punk! Are you Tuff E Nuff?"

Although I did save one copy of Viewtiful Joe from Best Buy's junk bin, I suppose it's not a real rescue until it gets played?
I'm not sure if this one copy of Nights Wii I didn't buy from them deserved its fate of being bound to two Barbie games, I think it was.

Got a complete copy of the 3 1/2" floppy version of SimFarm for $3 at Goodwill today. Always a fan of the SimCity games, but I'm not sure if this is any good.

Grabbed Crystalis and Little Nemo for the NES. Always wanted these ones. Heck, they were the reason I got an NES. Didn't cost me that much, either.

Only NES games I need still are Metal Storm (good luck with that), Contra (available, but always expensive), and maybe a licensed game like Darwing Duck or something like that...would also be nice if I could play Kid Dracula, but I don't want to get a Famicom just for that...

KarrotMan

Finally got an english Yoshi's Island along with Super Bomberman (just beat it a while ago) for the SNES and Galactic Pinball for the Virtual Boy. Had to give away an ultra rare game though so I could get money but at least I got a few gems along with it. Totally worth it.

The Rescue Rangers games on the NES are classics. I highly recommend them.

Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (NS2); Corpse Factory (PC)

Gave away an ultra-rare game for Yoshi's Island? Hope it wasn't a good game at least.
(YI's a good game and it's good you're playing the original version but those are all reasonably common games)
