I first encountered Stratego as a computer game back in the '90s. It was one of the few games my mom would play on our computer. I was surprised to eventually learn that it was an actual board game first. I never played the board game version.

If there is a golden age of board gaming, it's gotta be right now. There are SO MANY GOOD BOARD GAMES. Just the other day I got to play Everdell, a worker placement game with an adorable woodland creature aesthetic. Really cool game.

I don't know what's up with the fish but it's not just the bosses. And the whole series is that way. I dunno, but it's sure distinctive!

Oh ok. I wish the in-game text (in the collection) had specified that. These games needs those bombs! Do you know how to get the alpha/beta laser thing to work?

One of my sons is really excited for Kirby, so I think we might save that for his birthday. I'm looking forward to playing that game though. I've heard some comparisons with Mario Galaxy in regards to the feel of the levels and how they're structured and I am down for that, let me tell you.

I love a good OLED screen but I didn't go for the new model. We have an original Switch and Lite (that's the one I usually use). I bet that screen looks real nice for handheld gaming though. I'm glad you finally got it out!

I don't remember there being an open world aspect to the game so yeah, it was probably just the main story missions. And that suits me just fine!

I feel that is a solid choice!

Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders is such a great mash up! Also, the way the Front Line guy walks just cracks me up.

My wife and I got two copies of this for the 3DS back in the day real cheap (Target clearance, maybe?) and played through it. I always lose interest about halfway through the main story of these LEGO games but this is one of the shorter ones, I think, and we got all the way through it. I enjoyed it. They have also taken the cut scenes from this game and stitched them together into an actual movie. My kids have watched that before.

I saw something about that when trying to determine if Elevator Action Returns and Elevator Action II were the same. Seems like that could be a really cool game...or a really bad one...
