Dragon Quest games are a bit too long and meandering for my tastes, but I was sure tempted to get this one and play the whole thing in 16-bit mode!

Don Doko Don is all right, I just didn't like it as much as Bubble Bobble.  Just got a bit too repetitive.  There's a Famicom sequel that plays like a straight up 2-D platformer.

So are you going to keep doing these or what?

Monster Boy is great, but it got a little too hard by the volcano and haunted house areas.  The music is good, though, and I even liked the cheesy Saturday morning cartoon style intro.  A lot of the songs are remixes of tunes from Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap, which also makes them good.

If you liked Monster Boy, you may want to check out some of the other games in the series.  The remake of The Dragon's Trap is also really good and Monster Boy plays a lot like it.  There's also a remake of Monster World 4 called Ashe in Monster World that came out last year that's pretty good.  This year we're also getting a Wonder Boy collection!

No wonder I've never heard of it.  I don't do much with books or Netflix.  Mark Hamill does a lot of cartoon voices.

Good luck trying to figure it out!  The game collection comes with no instructions, and these games came out when printed instruction manuals were included with games, so they usually didn't feel like they needed tutorials in the game.  They didn't even bother including scanned pics of the manual in the collection.  I tried watching videos and guides online and still couldn't figure it out.  That was my main problem with the collection.

I'm not a big fan of DBZ, but I do know a lot about it because the original Dragon Ball is one of my top favorite anime cartoons of all time.  I don't know much about GT or the new Super one whatever it's called.

Yeah if this is based on some kind of franchise, I've never heard of it.

You know what's weird is I don't think any of the current gen systems have a new Ridge Racer game.  There's none on the PS4 or PS5, as well as the Switch and Xbox One or X/S.  Namco needs to get on that.  Usually each new console has one.  I don't think I've played a new Ridge Racer game since Ridge Racer 7 on PS3!

Yeah the only two Mario games I've completed 100 percent are Super Mario 64 and Super Mario World.

In G-Darius, you get a set number of these balls you can shoot out to capture enemies.  Jeff and I called them Pokeballs!  

I think you should continue to do these Taito games after BaD, because you never know what the future will bring!
