On the NES you gotta play games like Mega Man and Capcom's Disney stuff like DuckTales! A late 80's double whammy!
May Retro

I like to dabble in some retro every month. May will be the years '85-'89. These are still the arcade years but it's also about the NES.
First I'm going to get out Midway Arcade Origins to play some Gauntlet. Then Capcom Arcade Cabinet, which is a digital store front on XBO (and probably PS4), for 1943: Battle of Midway. I'll also play anything in those collections that came out '85-'89. Which reminds me of Rare Replay and the stuff they made for ZX Spectrum, C64 and NES like R.C. Pro-Am. I'm also going to get Twin Bee on 3DS. They've added a 3D effect to it just like Xevious. I wish I could play the original arcade port of Sky Shark (and I could if I wanted to use my PC) but I'll have to settle for the not very great NES port instead.
And speaking of NES. I'm going to break that out and play through all the carts I have. Some are mine and others are ones Mark gave me last year. I want to weed out the ones I don't want to cut my collection down a bit.
Then I'll get back to my more current stuff. I've got Neir Automata from the library and my short games list to work through. Should be fun.
Oh, and other media. I'm going to read Batman Year One and Batman Killing Joke, some William Gibson novels and a book about Richard Feynman. Then there'll be some movies. I'm still making the list but I want to see King Solomon's Mines and maybe Highlander. I've see Highlander many times but it's been a while.
Then there's music. I'm still doing the list but so far there are a lot of metal albums I'm interested in hearing like Slayer's Hell Awaits and Kreator's Endless Pain. I'll see what I can get a hold of though.
