I got Cosmic Star Heroine on Switch on sale for 2 bucks!  I read about how you were playing it and decided to get it since it was so cheap.

I got a bunch of other games on sale this month, too!  Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle, three Konami collections, and the PS4 Taiko game for less than ten bucks each almost!  I'll be writing blogs about each of those collections, with the first one going up later today.

I reviewed Ninja Saviors a while back.

That's cool that you made that!  I could never do that!

When I was in college, I had MAME arcade emulators, as well as NES and Genesis ones.  But I took them off my computer soon after that because I was afraid I'd spend too much time playing all those classic games instead of studying!  I really haven't messed with emulation like that since.  Well, except for game collections you can buy.

For some reason, Thunder Force III didn't really stick out in my mind on the Genesis Mini.  I think the graphics were a bit garish, but that's about all I can remember.  I liked that Darius was on the Gensis Mini.  That was a pretty impressive port!  You know what shooter I wish were on the Genesis Mini?  Gaiares.  Man that one was good!

The only football game I played a significant amount of was NES Play Action Football at my friend's house.  I had no idea what I was doing but my friend was very patient with me.  Football rules still elude me.  Too much going on.  I remember seeing Tecmo Bowl a lot in arcades because it was a very wide cabinet that was two screens long!

The music isn't quite as cool as in Arkanoid DS (but it's not bad either), and it's a neat modern take on the classic game.

It's been a long time since I've played Arkanoid DS, but I seem to remember the main mode having a map where you can choose your path in a pyramid setup, similar to how other Taito games work.  Glad you think the music is cool, though.  Hope you keep playing to hear more of it!

Guess what?  I know you like sales, so I wanted to let you know that Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 is free on PS4 and Xbox until May 10.  There's a link to how it works on my Facebook page.

And speaking of sales, today on PS4 I got a bunch of games on sale!  The PS4 Taiko game was only 15 bucks, and Capcom Beat Em Up Bundle and the Konami Collections were ten bucks each, so I got them all!  Five games for under 60 bucks isn't bad!  I'll be writing about those collections in my blogs in the coming weeks!

I'm not very good at Contra games so I don't have much to say.  I think I prefer the SNES Contra, but I can see why people would like this one, especially Genesis fans.

You know I don't ever think I've played a Worms game.

Aw, you got Arkanoid DS?  You'll have to let us know what you think. I certainly enjoyed it.  I love the music in that game so much that I imported the soundtrack.  Even the menu music is good!

I'm a bit partial to the SNES Mini, but that's just becasue I prefer most SNES games over Genesis.  I will agree that the Genesis Mini does have a better presentation, and they gave some real big reasons to own it (like Mega Man: The Wily Wars).  But the SNES Mini has two of my top five favorite games of all time on it (FF6 and Super Mario Kart). so yeah.

Have you ever tried Space Invaders Extreme?  Might want to check that out after Arkanoid DS.
