I first heard "Still Alive" after playing through Portal in a single sitting at a friend's house when I was in college. I finished the game at 3AM and nearly fell off the sofa laughing. Such a great song 
I played a lot of WareWare: Touched as well but I had completely forgotten about Ashley's song. It has such a great kooky old feel to it. Glad you included it.
Oh man, PaRappa. I started playing the PSP release of that a couple of months ago and I never did manage to beat that all masters/bathroom level. Ugh, so frustrating.
That is quite a few! I try to stick with one console game and one portable one, though I often end up with more than that going at a time, and that's not counting iOS lol
I've had jobs at night before. That's rough. Glad you can make the time worthwhile 
I'm around 27 hours, I think, and just got to Ikebukuro.
I know there are a few here on Pixlbit. I was kind of hoping they'd come out with their pitchforks but so far no dice. But yeah, what's not to love? When we were kids, wasn't that the most annoying thing, having to wait for your turn while playing "multiplayer" on Mario?
That's the cool thing about thrift stores, you never know what you'll find. It's worth a look 
Yardsales and thrift stores can be great ways to find old game (and sometimes newer ones!). You just gotta be patient and check frequently. Goodwill doesn't normally have any games worth buying but you never know. Last year my wife picked up Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, and Super Mario Sunshine for $3 apiece in one visit. Pretty awesome! Yardsales are even more hit or miss but it's worth it when you find a great haul like those PS3 games we got. Plus you might find other things you need lol
That's probably it. I assume there must be some doodad to collect. What 3D platformer of that era didn't have something shiny that needed finding? I can't imagine the game is too long otherwise, since I was able to finish the third one over a weekend.
One of the things I really like is that I don't have to micromanage my party. Sure, I try to stay on top of fusing my demons so that their levels stay up and they always have skills to learn, but it's really nice not having to worry about equipping armor and weapons for them. I've never been one much for micromanaging. And I haven't had an unexpected party wipe yet...which means that I have to sit through that whole thing before Charon offers to revive you every time. Ugh, so annoying. But that's a small complaint.
