Haven't tried it yet.

I reviewed that Turrican game.

I actually ended up not liking Psychonauts 2 as much as the first game.  I won't go into the reasons why here, though.

Ys 8 is really good.  One of my brothers called it "Jurassic Park: The JRPG."

Ys 8 is good.  

It is neat, and is why I decided to buy it since I can spend more money on fast food now.  But I still say it should've been free with the system.

Yeah it's absolutely ridiculous.  But I think that's all I'm going to say about that.

I skipped out on the Toaplan collections.  I'd like to get them, but money is tighter so I have to be more selective on my gaming purchases now.

The NES version of 1942 is awful.  The NES version of 1943 is much better.  Because of how good it and the arcade version is, 1943 is still one of my top favorite shooters ever.

I skipped out on reviewing the Puzzle Quest game, too.  Just looked like more of the same.  But it's still probably good.

Great thing about gaming in the 90s.  In the early to mid 90s, we had the SNES, with all the simple fun of NES style games with the comforts of more quality of life features the next gen provided.  And then in the mid to late 90s, we had the PlayStation, when games started to not be considered just 'kid's stuff.'  Also the PSOne had a lot of experimental titles, being one of the first CD-ROM systems and all.  And with that and the fact that I was in college and just starting writing game reviews in 1996, the possibilities felt endless!  Wow, next year in 2026, I will have been writing game reviews in some capacity for 30 years!

Aside from the PSOne Namco Museums, I consider the Activision Anthology one of the best collections out there, in terms of presentation and quality and quantity of games.

For my birthday I got a Kirby Switch controller.  I wonder if it'll work on my Switch 2?

I wish my dad would remember how he got them.  But that was over 40 years ago so I doubt he would remember.  Oh well.  I don't even think I knew what a demo game was anyway.  All I knew I was getting games to play.
