I still haven't played more of DQXI yet. I'm only a hour in. I was initially not overly impressed with the visuals. Also, why are there still save slots in games? Seems so old fashioned to me now.
I kind of wish my friend Mark had a PS4. It's more fun when we're both competing to complete a game like Dragon Quest. We did that with VIII. He won and beat it, and I burned out before finishing it.
I want to play Iron Tank and TNKIII.
I remember collecting all the Ikari Warriors games for NES. I don't remember playing them, but I must have.
I love the art style in the Metal Slug games. They are difficult to play though. It really frustrates me too because I want to see all that art work.
Athena sounds like she's your type of woman.
Good choice. See it on Netflix.
Ralph Breaks VR sounds interesting.
I guess I can see that. I want more vehicle mayhem though. A city on tracks is fine but there needs to be lots more racing around. Oh, and a guy with a guitar chained to a car made out of speaker cabinets. Yeah!
I'm deciding to not talk to every darn character in a town this time. I know I'll miss stuff, but it's not natural. I want it to feel like a real adventure.
I almost returned to it today, but I had achievements to finish in Minecraft with my friend Mark.
Yea, no one's really memorable except the one character who is barely human, the resurrected. That's not good.
Yea, and it was therefore impossible to just figure out without going to the manual. I'll read it sometime. I got a lot out of Star Raiders a year or so ago when I finally read the manual and figured out what to do.
I had a 2600, but when the 5200 came out, my parents got an Apple IIc. After that, us kids were getting ready for college, and so I never got another gaming console. I had a Mac Plus on my way to school a few years later. I played some games on that, and I still went to the arcades. I returned to console gaming probably around '95 when the Playstation came out.
I really wanted the manual from Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen for SNES when I played it. It was not easy to figure it out without one.
I like manuals too, and get all excited if one comes in a new game today, but I've been trained by modern games to expect an in-game tutorial and not have to read anything. Some of these old games really need a manual to help you figure it all out. The graphics are sometimes so abstract, you can't readily tell what to do.
Aside from the ones you mentioned, I can't really think of any that were better on NES. Most of the ones I played were either just ok, or bad.
