Kid Dracula is awesome! It would be great to see him back in a game, but like you said, not gonna happen.

I've tried this game several times, but I never got very far. It's too frustrating for me, and I don't have the patience for it. It had NES sequel syndrom (the second game being radically different from the first).

Yes, not well-known, but now YOU know about it!

Compile was a great developer. This game might be their best (this one or Blazing Lazers). And the music is really amazing for an NES game.

It's overlooked while games which are not as good (ahem, Adventure of Link) get the spotlight. I always considered the Golden Age to be the SNES/Genesis days, but the NES era was extremely important, and the shine was certainly there.

This game does look dated, but it looked that way when SMB3 came out and gave the graphics an amazing overhaul. Still fun to play though. This makes me very excited for Mario Maker in September!

That's Master Higgins, expert swimmer and swallowed whole by whale extraordinaire.

Thanks! Give it a try if you get a chance, it's really good.

99% of the time I have the game. Every now and then I'll play an emulated version. I guess I just choose games which interest me, which is a wide spectrum. I like to try different kinds of genres to keep things fresh. As always, thanks for reading, Matt!

I shouldn't be surprised there was an anime. I'll have to check that out.

The game can be challenging due to the one hit kill, but it's really not that tough. Don't think I'm calling you a wuss, Cary, bc it's an oldschool game.
