Did you know that some of the early Everybody's Golf games were done by Camelot, the same folks who do a lot of the Mario Golf games?

Yeah a lot of games back then made the game look awesome on the box.  One of the reasons why I'm not a PC gamer is that it's not always clear if the game you just bought will work on your PC.  When I buy a game, I want it to work!

Seven Sirens is most like a "Metroidvania" title with one big maze to explore.  Still not my favorite, but they did bring back the sprite based graphics and it's still a heck of a lot of fun.  It even has animated cutscenes and the opening intro is done by Gainax/Trigger.  They did another one of my favorite opening cutscenes for Namco X Capcom.  Anyway, just makes me want a Shantae cartoon! :)  Here's my review:

I wonder if they were trying to make fun of Lee Travino's Fighting Golf?

I've never played the Golden Sun games.  I played a TON of GBA games and there were so many I missed out on!  Just can't play 'em all!

Yeah Half Genie Hero's not my favorite, but there hasn't been a bad Shantae game yet!  I really like the original and PIrate's Curse.

Only games I can think of right now for that time period is 1942 and 1943.  To this day, 1943 is one of my favorite shooters.

Aw too bad you don't have a SNES Mini.  I love that thing.  I named it my GOTY when it came out.  But then, the SNES is my top favorite console of all time.

I would consider Mega Man 2 one of the top five best NES games.  Even though I like MM3 just a little more, I can TOTALLY understand why someone would like 2 better.  MM2 was the game that really got me into the franchise.  I had rented the first game before, but I also rented Legacy of the Wizard alongside it so that won out at the time.  But after I rented and beat MM2, I gave the original Mega Man another chance and beat it as well and I've been a fan ever since.  Mega Man 2 also has one of my favorite video game songs of all time: Dr. Wily's Stage 1 theme.  I actually have better memories playing Mega Man games on the NES over Mario ones.  In fact, I'd have to say that I like Mega Man better than Mario, which is weird of me to say since I tend to gripe at super hard games.  But regardless, that's how I feel in that case.

Yeah I don't know why, but I never could get into the original Super Mario Bros. the way so many others did.  I mean, yeah it's a good game, but it didn't grab me as much for some reason.  But you've got to try Pac-Man 99.  It's very awesome!

I remember seeing kids have whole binders of those cards as a kid.  I always wondered where the heck they got all that money to buy all those cards, and why didn't they spend it on something better.
