Re: Milon's Secret Castle

I think this has one of the best cover arts of its era. So mysterous looking even though the game really isn't that creepy. Plus, I liked how all the old Hudson games were labled like "Over 3/4 Million Sold in Japan."

It's hard to believe that in 3 short years Sege went from Zaxxon (which is also awesome) to Space Harrier. They both sported the best pseudo 3d graphics of their era.

I'm guessing becuase the economy is sour. Let's be honest, only well known series are really going do well in this kind of enviroment where 500,000 jobs are being erased each month!

I just ordered a copy so perhaps the May figures will be slightly less depressing.

I'm so thankful this game finally came to shore. I love this game and the 64 version is probably the best version of it.

It's funny how "family friendly" America probably won't allow this, but it seems like most of our popular television shows are either people kicking in each other faces or crappy reality shows about "get rich fast" Octo-moms .

American TV reached its peak with The Twilight Zone, in my opinion.

I really want to play this after seeing it on Corbie's GB list. I vaguely remember this back then. Anyways, a light-hearted Castlevania game seems like a good thing. The word on the street is the NES version is even better.

1989-1990, where the most exciting years of home video games in my life. You had the GB, TG16, Genesis, Lynx, Konix Multisystem, FM Towns, Neo Geo, Super Famicom, Game Gear, and Super Grafx all making their big splashes in the issues of EGM and GamePro!

Re: Ten Game Boy Games You Should Be Playing

I bought Pokemon Red when it first came out after reading about it been a huge craze in Japan. Honestly,I didn't think it was going to repeat the success over here, but sure enough it did.

I'm with Corbie, I just was never that impressed by the game. Perhaps, if I played it as a kid I would of been more a fan. However, superior RPG games like Phantasy Star for the SMS just sort of eclipsed Pokemon in my book.

Even though, I come down hard on Pokemon, I am glad that it has helped make RPGs more mainstream. Who knows, I might try the GBA Pokemon game someday!

Corbie is Nintendo Life! This guy and his insights are just what this site needs. I like the fact he doesn't do just the obvious choices. Kid Dracula is just the kind of curve ball selection that lists like these need.

Personally, I would like to sing the praise of Quarth and Revenge of the Gator. Both are lost treasures, that the sands of time have buried.

Even though, I like Wario Land, I would of rather had SML 3 be more like SML 2. I agree that SML 2 is the high water mark for the system and a true follow-up sequel would of been awesome!!!

Re: Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

The first time I played it was 1998 on the Super Game Boy. I think the game is timeless. I will play it anytime, anywhere.

I was more of a Lynx fan in the early 90s. Although, I was pretty jealous of all of the addictive, puzzle games that came out for the GB around 1990. Qix, Quarth, Boxxle, and Tetris are all classics.

When I got my SNES with Super Mario All-Stars in 1995. I quickly bought a Super Game Boy to play Qix. I think I got Qix for $5.00 new at KB Toys. That was a deal!

Re: J.J. & Jeff

This game is soooooo underrated. I would give it a 6 out of 10. It has a quirky, sense of humor and is fun, but hard on the later stages. The amount of secrets to be found is crazy. Plus, you have to admire any game that isn't afraid to be political in their character design.

I hope someday to play the orginal Japanese version.
