Weird thing about Crystalis. I remember reading about it as this hidden gem of a NES game, an uncommon but apparently high quality action/rpg hybrid. I also remember a port of it being released for GameBoy Color and hoping I might find it somewhere so I could familiarize myself with the game...

OK, time for something positive. Name an NES game. If I own it, I'll play it.

I'm definitely in the "5 dollar" camp. I'm fascinated and super-intrigued by the tech. I am very looking forward to what future games will be able to do with this concept. It has SO MUCH potential it's ridiculous. But so far it's just a tech demo.

Wait, so Khane, Cad, and Zyyzyzzy are all gingers? How many others are there?

You can argue about how "good" of a game Tetris is, but as Eomer points out its influence was tremendous. It pulled in non-gamers decades before Nintendo repeated that feat with the Wii. It also played a large role in creating the handheld market which became Nintendo's life raft on multiple...

Joke's on you guys. Once I get on enough people's ignore lists, I'm gonna win this one under the radar.

Has to be "Misty Bean", for the clitoral undertones alone.

Loved this game and played the crap out of it. Just passed it again about a month ago just 'cause I wanted to show my wife how quirky it was. Still love the ending. Yeah, but Faxanadu was extremely rough around the edges, offering a brutally unforgiving slog through a brown, brown world. SOTN...

Very disappointed to not see Metal Gear Solid (the 1st one) or Symphony of the Night on the list. Did we really need to see Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake?

1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5?

Weren't YOU the one that did the importing?

Nah, I think he's still just beating himself off.

...From your grave?

Who's Scream? Didn't realize I had competition. Love your cuisine.

Gotta admit, as much as the Wii left a sour taste in my mouth and I never bought a Wii U, I'm slowly, slowly warming up to the idea of a portable console I can connect to my TV. I'm not a tech snob, and if all of Nintendo's future releases will be on one console which I can play in multiple...

Fuck it. Happy birthday, Trex.

I 100%ed Link to the Past in one life in one sitting on multiple occasions. Outstanding game.

Agree. Seems like NMS is a great foundation on which a truly exceptional game can be built. The tech is amazing and, now that it's been established, they can add a lot of depth to it to help it reach its true potential. Heck, they could probably just sell the tech to a AAA developer to get a...

...Is she always like this?

Don't post members' Facebook shit here please. Let's leave this world and that world separate.

Ah yes, I remember. I still go there once in a while (very rarely) to look for hard-to-find stuff they don't necessarily know about. I found the GBA remake of River City Ransom there pretty cheap.

I'm sure we'll see it in a Humble Bundle... Maybe second tier for 5 bucks. I'll wait until then.

Spent a few hours playing E.V.O. for the SNES on Friday. I've always really liked this game despite its grindy nature. There's just something about powering up through evolution that's inherently satisfying. My goal this time was to get some of the "secret" evolutions that I personally...

Improper use of apostrophe in thread title. Triggered.

Has anybody else ever played Trog! for NES? It's a Pac-Man-type maze game that's actually a port of an arcade game (which I've never seen), but man is it fun. You play a dinosaur who has to collect eggs while avoiding the titular Trogs (cavemen cyclops). There are powerups (flowers that speed...

I got that tape too, it totally sold me on the game. I was floored when they talked about how many layers of falling snow could be displayed! Hey @Marmac, didn't we buy DKC on release day at Marché aux Puces for 100$?

I decided to play through Donkey Kong Country again, and since I never achieved 101% before I made that my goal. (Took me 2 sessions.) In many ways the game holds up remarkably well. The graphics still impress and the music is still fantastic. The controls are sometimes criticized for not...

I've played it. It was decent game with some fun gimmicks. I wasn't a fan of the competitive pizza-eating boss battles, though.

You're nuts. I generally don't like FPSs, but Metroid Prime was fantastic.

Watched it today. I'm pretty easy to please, so I enjoyed it, but it had some pretty big problems. The good: - Lots of style. It was certainly style over substance, but if I'm going to be dazzled by rainbow colors and pop songs and kitschy text overlays, I want it to be on a big screen. - I...

Even the original? As groundbreaking as it was for its time, it's REALLY hard to play after the many refinements the genre has undergone since then.

"My jaw is getting tired."

Not going to go through 40 pages of posts to see if this has been posted, but I found this review to be quite informative: As it stands, there's no way I would pay full price for it, especially since I may or may not have the patience to play it long enough for it to become fun (20 hours...

Oh, and I LOVED how the music changed dynamically based on where you were in the level (in Banjo-Kazooie). That added a lot to the immersion and I'm floored that more games didn't make use of that technique. I really hope they do the same thing in Yooka-Laylee.

Backed this on Kickstarter and can't wait for it. I loved Banjo-Kazooie, which in many ways out-Mario 64ed Mario 64. Loved the music, loved the character design, loved the colorful worlds, loved the humor and jibberish-talk. Having said that, I played it for a little while recently and it seems...

Disgaea?

Played through an NES game I loved as a kid: Pinball Quest It's one of those games that has gigantic flaws but the concept and presentation alone win me over. It's a pinball game with lite RPG elements and a quest to progress through. The physics are awful, the RNG is brutally merciless, the...

Doesn't sound like the one I played. In the SNES version, you're going around the house looking through drawers and shit and trying to avoid the bandits. You could squirt them repeatedly with your water pistol to stun them or knock stuff on their heads. Eventually you'd get to the basement where...
