I actually looked at that review last night and thought the picture looked vaguely like MineSweeper. 

Mega Man X was my introduction to Mega Man, or maybe X2 was. I rented both quite a bit. 

I still need to play that one. Remake looked cool. I can probably emulate the Game Boy original though. 

I think in the NES days, it was more about extending the length of the game by making it hard so the player didn't feel cheated by so few levels. At least, I'm pretty sure these games were made with a home audience in mind (Castlevania and Mega Man) but I guess you're still right in the sense that those games may have mimicked arcade platformers. 

I dunno. Don't listen to me.

Robolt sounded fun, too bad it is unfinished. 

I think the Zelda game you're thinking of is Link's Awakening.

NES Hard strikes again.

Hey, my birth year! 

Hate to say this, but I found both Castlevania III and Mega Man III harder than original Castlevania and Mega Man 2, respectively.

I thought Alan Wake was ... ok. There was a lot of interesting stuff but also a lot of jank. The DLC left a really bad taste in my mouth regarding the jank. 

My favorite dictatorship from which to order heros, I mean gyros.
