Re: Feature: Best Game Boy Games

@RadioShadow
Agree about ducktails. Tiny toons (which barely made the top 50) is a much better game.
Happy for Gargoyle's Quest.
Surprised to see Mario Land 2 so high. In my opinion it was worse than the original.
My personal top 5 (in no particular order) would be Zelda, Tetris, Pokemon, Metroid 2 and Gargoyle's Quest

There are many great games on the SNES.
There is however one timeless masterpiece. Chrono Trigger.
This, alongside Pokemon Gold/Silver are the only games from that era that still make it into my top 5 games of all time.

Re: Soapbox: Portable Gaming Forges a Special Relationship With the Player, and Nintendo is the Master in the Field

I started off with "Thriller House" a Game and Watch style game, and then got "Octopus" a Nintendo G&W. My first grey brick GameBoy carried me until GBA which I got at launch (and couldn't pay the rent because I had spent the money on the GBA). I resisted DS's charms as long as I could (being able to borrow a friend's for long periods helped) but got a Fire Emblem 3ds xl when it came out.
I have always felt what the article describes, that connection and affection for the portable consoles.

Got it new from Amazon a couple of months ago. Could not find it at Game. And, yeah, graphics are very pretty and the Master Quest perfect (feels like a new game, as long as someone else completes the standard adventure) for someone who played the N64 version all those years ago.

Re: Video: The Top Ten Worst Designed Pokémon Ever

Am I the only one who likes Jynx? I guess it had something to do with creating a fairly decent one with Perish Song, way back on the original Silver, but still I think it's a funny, likeable pokemon.
Also Tropius and Exeggutor look great of course.
The only one I could agree with is the #2.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Mario Tennis

Xomitsious

Probably my favourite 4 player game ever. (sorry Mario Kart and Smash Bros, though Snowboard Kids 64 is a close second). The fact that there is no need for split screen helps, but also a really skill based game. Not as fun single player, 2 player still decent.

My first ever console (I think I had an Amstrad Cpc 6128 before that). Snapped one up as soon as they became available in Greece. I love my GameBoy so much. Favourite games include the awesome Gargoyle's Quest, Link's Awakening and Metroid 2.
