I guess PixlBit's on MonkeyPaw's press list, too. Are you reviewing Tomba 2? I just slammed them in my review for releasing the Japanese version of the game instead of the English version.

I love BurgerTime! As a kid, I would make my own chef hat and pepper shaker out of paper cutouts and play prettend BurgerTime. Yeah this was back when kids used their imagination sometimes. :)
Did you know that in Japan, this game was originally called just "Hamburger?" That's why the chef in the game has an H on his hat.
In Japan there's also a game called Super BurgerTime. Look it up, it's really weird.
Yeah, Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Parlor isn't very good. They also planned to make a third game called Peter Pepper's PizzaTime, but that never came out.
I reviewed BurgerTime World Tour. It's OK, but really the best update is BurgerTime Deluxe on the Game Boy. Just stay away from The Flinstones: BurgerTime in Bedrock. It's a Game Boy Color reworked version of Deluxe, except it sucks.
If I wasn't so lazy, I'd put a YouTube link up to one of the old BurgerTime commercials. The hot dog peeks through the drive thru window and says, WE'RE CLOSED NOW!
Man I could talk about BurgerTime all day. It was one of the few arcade games to pull me away from Pac-Man as a kid in the 80's. But I'll stop rambling now! --Cary
Loco Roco 3, Klonoa 3, Tomba 3, Mega Man Legends 3...The Misadventures of Tron Bonne 2...etc.
Taito Legends and its sequel are awesome.
I miss out on a lot of this stuff because I normally just play games like Yoshi's New island. I did play Dragon's Crown, though. I don't know what the big deal was, there have been video game characters that looked like that before. I thought the Amazon was cool, myself. Oh yeah, and thanks for the pics.
I never liked Bump N Jump that much but that's probably because I was never very good at it. My favorite retro top-down racer is Spy Hunter.
Can't wait to see what other Data East games you liked.
Happy Birthday! Have another power pellet!
I agree. At least the first couple of seasons of the Digimon cartoon were pretty decent.
Was A New Beginning the one where you could pick up whole houses and move them around? I think in that one, Farmer Man Cary wanted to marry Iroha. I know in Rune Factory 4, Farmer Man Cary wanted to marry the female knight. And that's all I can remember!
Dragon's Crown is great. The Amazon is who I usually play as.
