Dude, I live less than 20 minutes from the National Harbor.  Are you going this year?

Ah, yes...Kid Icarus.  As frustrating as te NES game was, you gotta love that upbeat music in the first area.

I have Of Myth and Monsters on my Game Boy, but I haven't spent muich time with it.  I know it's a highly regarded game, but I need to see it for myself.  This blog makes me want to play it now.

Nice pick with DuckTales: Remastered.  I'm currently playing through it myself.

You also just reminded me to look into getting Castle of Illustion on the PS3. I keep hearing that it's really good.

I remember reading articles and seeing screenshots of the The Great Giana Sisters.  You can't tell me that original game wasn't ripped off from Super Mario Bros.  That was no happenstance.

Man...I only played the demo of Silent Hill 3, and I got super creeped out.  I'm too chicken to get the game.

Yeah, they should have dialed it back a little when porting R-Type to the Master System.

I was thinking the same thing about Capcom's home ports of famous games in the NES days.  The NES version often would turn out to be bettter than the arcade versions.  A true testament to good game design.

Yeah, Super R-Type was the first R-Type game I played.  I remember when my brother brought it home and poped it in the Super NES.  Yeah, I loved the whole idea behind the Force helper.  I felt invincible when I'd have it fully powered up.

Love the Luigi sketch.  Very nice.

Trust me, you're not missing much.  Don't get me wrong -- it was a goood effort to get on a home console, but it just felt like the Master System hardware just couldn't handle all the action.  I think they should have scaled it back a little.

You ain't lying Cary.  I tried playing through the arcade version recently.  I could barely make it past stage 1.  I still love the invention of the Force drone.  It can work wonders for you if you know how to use it.

Pffft...yeah.  I laugh when I read console reviews (or see videos) based on 1 day of usage.  What a joke.
