Japanese versions are easier? I always thought the Japanese versions must be harder and they made things easier for the American audience. But I noticed on the Konami shooter collection I have that achievements aren't allowed on the Japanese versions of the games, which suggests they are easier. I guess my preconceptions were wrong. 

In the 90s, my friend Mark and I had both SNES and Genesis, gotten from flea markets maybe a few years after they came out. I think we played more Genesis because of games like PGA Golf, Shining in the Darkness, Monopoly and Risk, but we also played DKC, Contra Alien Wars and NBA Jam on SNES. So maybe it's a tie actually. I don't remember making any distinction between the two other than games seemed to be cheaper for Genesis. I always wanted various RPGs for SNES but could never find them for a reasonable enough price used. I'm dying to play Yoshi's Island right now and Super Mario RPG. 

About Contra though. I want to get that collection on Xbox right now, but I remember those games being so darn hard. But I might get it anyway at least for Alien Wars. 

Ah well. I might try the Space Invaders inspired Doughlings game once I'm finished with Doughlings Arcade. 

That sounds cool. I want an excuse to try No Man's Sky again. 

I remember playing Uncharted 1 when it came out on PS3. I think I rented it. I liked it pretty well but I didn't play any of the others 'til much later. 

Xbox One used to not let you capture video or screenshots from 360 games, but now they do. 

That's the extractor device in my left hand. It does look like I'm about to explode the fish, doesn't it. 

So far, I've been fine with the controls in Dante's Inferno. I mostly use this dash move with my cross for bigger foes that works really well since I improved it with relics and skill boosts. 

I keep telling myself to just use streaming and forget collecting, but it's in my blood. 

I got to thinking about Galaga and the time it came out in arcades. It's quite complex compared to the other games out during that time, especially in the behavior of the enemy ships. 

I need to play some Puzzle Bobble. Missile Command might be interesting. I'll check it out on Xbox. Roundguard is on my list to get when it gets cheap enough. Reventure has an interesting twist and I would try Gigantosaurus even though it isn't good because I like these 3D cartoony adventure games. 

Nice. I watched my friend Mark get some achievements in Dig Dug I haven't got yet like smashing all the enemies on the screen with rocks. I got 3 of them with one rock once, but not all of them with all the rocks. I'm going to try to dig all the dirt but it seems really hard. 

The more I playe Doughlings, the more I like it. It does have a lovely art style. They do another game based on Space Invaders with similar art.
