Pick-ups Blacklog #2: My 3 Fantasies

Over the years of Maester System game purchases, I've found it much more common to get promo posters with my purchase more so than I would with an NES game complete in the box. But I think the clam shell design made it easier to just keep everything in there if you could help it vs. the more disposible feel of the NES cardboard boxes.

Yeah, FZ: The Maze is pretty interesting because it's obviously influenced by Pac-Man, but it's not a totall rip-off either.  Sega did a good job with that idea.

RETROspective: Metroid Nostalgia

Ah, Metroid. The series I got back to time and time again. I gotta admire Nintendo for haveing the good sense to leave the series alone back in the N64 days. I'm glad they didn't force a Metroid on that system out of desperation. I love all of the Metroid games fairly equally  up to Metroid Prime. Prime 2 was still good, but annoyingly difficult in most boss battles with the lightdark mechanic. I haven't played Prime 3 yet though, but I do have the MP Trilogy on the Wii U.

I didn't want to believe all the negative stuff I heard about Other M. But I couldn't deny it once I played it for myself. For a standpoint of characterization, Other M felt like a slap in the face. That whole rebelliousangsty attitude they gave her for a backstory was cringe-worthy. And I still can't forgive the panic attack she has when Ridley shows up, like it's the first time she saw him. By this point (according the game's timeline) she's already defeated Ridley (or some form of him) at least 5 times! Why would she freak out all of a sudden?

Just as horrible was her relying on Adam to tell her when to use her suit enchancements. I get what the game was trying to do, but there were too many situations that could have easily have been resolved if she would have just used her abilities earlier in the game without the "need" for permission.

From what I've read and heard, Yoshio Sakamoto hated the Prime series and wanted to use Other M as his way of "undoing" everything we had come to learn about Samus throught that particular series. He's treated the Prime series as if it was't cannon to the establish timeline.

Never played Battle Clash before. I remember being interested in the box art though. I hear it's a pretty decent Super Scope game.

Yeah, I have to keep my hoarding tendencies in check too. I also need to go through my games and see which ones I actually like playing or intend to play. I've got a good number duds sitting around that won't serve me much purpose besides being good review material.

I just love that Namco was able to replicate the arcade experience pretty well. The only thing missing was the recoil action from the gun.

The Point Black is a proper shooting gallery type light gun game for the PlayStation. It's both fun and test youir markmanship too. Check out some of the YouTube videos of any of the Point Blank games if you've never seen them in action.
