I have some of the NES versions of these and one of the Capcom Classics Collections on PS2. Gun.Smoke is a great game. Funny you should say it's easier than the arcade version because that game is really hard. I agree about Trojan. That game is horrible although I thought the shield mechanic was pretty cool.
I can't remember the first game I played with cover in it. Unless you count hiding behind walls in Doom as cover. I do like the use of cover, but sometimes I just want to run out like an idiot with guns blazing lol. 
Also that song Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones is great.
I agree with your plan. I like it so much that I'll take it a bit further and not buy ANY of these new consoles coming it lol. I was trying to tell my friend about the horrors of the Xbox 1, but he kept defending and denying. There is a lot of disturbing shit in regards to that console, but I'm over it now. If anything I'll just build a new PC next time.
Congrats to your daughter! The Riddler puzzles in Arkham Asylum were pretty easy besides a couple. That perfect combo trophy was what gave me trouble. I'd have the platinum if it wasn't for that.
I've never actually looked at a digital manual lol. I'm too lazy for that. I'd much rather have something tangible. I don't think manuals are gonna last long either. Once everything goes all digital, I'm done with it. Thankfully I'll still have my classic games to play.
Well, you know my stance on this garbage. I just want some Oreos now lol.
Really nice work man! I always had more trouble drawing feet than hands, but I definitely agree about drawing faces. That's one of the reasons why I like to draw caricatures. You don't have to worry about getting it right lol. Plus big heads are awesome! 
I wouldn't mind seeing Brave Fencer Musashi remade. Or Killer Instinct. KI Gold was awesome, but we need a new one dammit!!! 
Great songs man. Prime 3 and Metroid II are the only Metroid games I haven't played. That song from Metroid II was pretty awesome! Especially considering the limits of the hardware. Some of my favorites are Upper Brinstar, Kraid's theme, and Phendrana Drifts.
Cool shirt. I wonder what Snee is gonna think when he sees that. That's great news about that job! I hope you get it. I'd be hounding after it every day lol.
