I remember watching that Cowboy Do-Wop show on Toonami.  I didn't watch it for long, though.  Didn't really appeal to me.

Legend of Kage is way too hard.  I like how high you can jump, though.

I remember seeing Gladiator in an arcade when I was young and being amazed on how big the characters were.

My favorite character to play as in Dungeon Magic was Cisty.  She had a weird name, but she had green hair so...

Speaking of Picross, if you have a Nintendo Switch Online account you can now play Game Boy Mario Picross on Virtual Console.

I think I vaguely remember that one.  Or at least the name anyway.

Catagrams is pretty good and it's free, so yeah, I recommend downloading it.

I really liked Dungeon Magic aka Light Bringer from Taito.  Taito also made Cadash, which might fit into your category.

Pac-Man World: RePac was my GOTY for 2022.  I have a lot of special memories involving the original Pac-Man World, which I wrote about here:

And speaking of Picross, you know how last year I reviewed and you played Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons?  Well they just came out with Piczle Cross: Rune Factory and I'm working on reviewing it right now!

He's been doing web comics for as long as I've known him, and that's been over 20 years.

Yeah but it's all just paper stuff so not as big as it sounds.
