I first played Jet Force Gemini at E3 and I didn't like the controls, so I skipped out on it when it came out.  Too bad it didn't play more like Ratchet and Clank.  It's funny how certain things age better than others on the N64.  For instance, I replayed Donkey Kong 64 a couple of years ago and thought it had aged poorly, and yet when I replayed Banjo-Kazooie and its sequel, I thought they were still fun and aged very well.

I probably would go crazy with the Arcade Archives, too, but they do add up moneywise, and you only get one game, so I haven't done that yet.  But if they ever released a collection, hoo boy!

I believe the 7800 is backwards compatible with the 2600, but not the 5200.  Otherwise I would've gotten a 7800 as a kid, I think.

I remember Calfiornia Games being huge back when I was a kid.  I saw it everywhere for a while.  Don't think I ever played it, though.  I did play some games LIKE it back in the day, though, like Skate or Die and T&C Surf Designs.  But only for a little bit.  LIke, I'd go over to a friend's house and they had rented it or something.  

The reason why ESWAT feels like an arcade game is because it WAS originally an arcade game! :)

Yeah the Switch version is a good one to get since it has all of vols. 1 to 3.  I just got it on the PS4 since I had the others on it as well.

I had the NES version of Millepede.  It was one of the few NES games I could get my dad to play.  Did you know that Satoru Iwata made the NES Millepede game when he was at HAL?

Dig Dug on the 5200 was better than the 2600 version at least!  I loved Pengo.  That was my favorite 5200 game.  I played that one so much back then!

I want a 7800, or a collection of 7800 games on a disc.  One of the 7800 games is Food Fight.  Love that one.

Missile Command is one of my dad's favorite classic arcade games, along with Centipede and Ridge Racer.

I know that Adventure is very signifcant in the history of video games.  Heck, there's even an exhibit about it at the National Videogame Musuem near my house (grr).  But I've never been able to get into that game myself.  

Speaking of Crystal Castles, I just reviewed a book by the guy who helped made that game!  Link is below.  Also, when I was writing for The Dallas Morning News, I reviewed a game called Gubble that was made by the same guy and plays just like Crystal Castles.

It's too bad they're getting rid of Nintendo Zones, but they haven't done anything new with StreetPass in years.  It's a shame, because StreetPass was one of the things that made the 3DS really unique and stand out.
