Based on my wife's suggestion, I played through Super Mario 3 again yesterday. What can be said about Mario 3 that hasn't been said a billion times already? It's just platforming bliss. What strikes me about it now is how difficult some levels can be, something Nintendo seemed to hold back on...

Well the new Humble Monthly Bundle, like last month's, seems unfortunately underwhelming.

Maybe I'm a fanboy, but from what I remember every game that was released on both SNES and Genesis was better on the SNES. I'm sure there are some cases where it's debatable (Mortal Kombat had blood on the Genesis, Earthworm Jim had an extra level, etc), but the graphics and sound hardware on...

Fuck it, I was inspired. Lots of fuchsia and baby blue, pretty short and pretty easy, but still all around a more than decent game. Capcom always came through with their NES Disney games, and The Little Mermaid is no exception. So the main mechanic is that you shoot bubbles with your tail...

Why are his hands also penises?

Tyen, where's your avatar from? I checked all the Super Mario RPG bosses and couldn't find it.

Right now I'm emulating them using FCEUX and playing with the 8BITDO Gamepad (it feels almost exactly like a SNES controller). I'm broadcasting via Open Broadcaster software (after experimenting a bit with ShadowPlay). Having said that, I'm strictly only playing games I actually own, and I've...

By "soon", I apparently meant "right now". Dang, don't play a game for a few years and you start to forget where all the keys are! I struggled a bit with some backtracking, and the upside-down level is pretty punishing in that you have to re-start the level and go through the whole chain of...

Damn straight I did! Outstanding game. In fact, I'll probably play through that again soon.

Played through Bucky O'Hare again yesterday. God damn, I love that game. I think one of the things that strikes me is that despite the levels being composed of tiled blocks (like most NES platformers), they really do feel like unique set pieces as opposed to levels that just vary platform...

Great find, thanks! I'm sure I'll relive many memories going over those! Got rid of most of my collection many years ago, although I still have my first issue (the Mega Man 2 one) somewhere (sans cover, unfortunately).

I tackled Cool Spot for the SNES today, and it's honestly better than most would expect for a licensed title designed to sell 7up. The graphics are actually quite good. Since the titular Spot is a small character, the world around you is extra big. This is put to best use in the first level...

So a few days back I decided to play Demon's Crest, a great SNES gem that for whatever reason went under the radar for a lot of people. It's actually the third in a series, with the other two being on GameBoy and NES (both of which are also excellent). Unfortunately, as I was somewhat drunk at...

Old stuff... I really gotta start drawing again.

Anyone else for prosciutto?

Ninja Gaiden was always ridiculously difficult. I can image a really patient kid getting good at it if he has no other games to play, but it's not something you can just put a couple of hours into and beat it.

Played through most of Jackal last night. Great little game. Love the attention to detail. Everything looks crisp and clear and polished. Running over little people is a joy. I especially like how the rescue chopper flies in from behind you before picking up the POWs you rescued, then flies...

Deserves to be on the first page of the video thread, just like on RR:

Does it have to be a monthly donation? Is there a minimum donation?

Plus, you know... Boobs.

What's this about Like Likes?

Played through Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout yesterday. It's got a reputation for being a lousy game but I remember quite enjoying it as a kid and, playing it again, it's not half bad. The graphics are decent with some great color use, although the Loony Tunes sprites are hit-and-miss (some...

A place to reminisce about the classics. NES, SNES, old PC games, it's all good. Screen shots and videos welcome.

I have to admit I'm very tempted to install some mods, but I can't shake the feeling that I'd be "cheating", even though it's just adding convenience and minimizing grunt work. Curse my gaming ethic!

It wasn't a hugely popular thread on RR, but it's nice to have a place where we can give away extra Steam Keys we have no use for. I am offering the following to anyone who's interested: C-Rush Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project Tobe's Vertical Adventure Who's that Flying?! Bang Bang Racing Cally's...
