Enjoyed the after credits section of Metroid: Other M. Nothing too great that dramatically adds to the story, or makes me feel like it is a quality story, but the second boss was an enjoyable fight. Not too difficult though, as it only took me one try. Still can't believe they did not include the nunchuck as part of the control scheme, but oh well.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES, 1/5/12)
Final Fantasy (NES, 2/20/12)
Metroid (NES, 5/26/12)

Another game I never beat in my youth that I can now cross off my list. Glad to finally finish it and to see Samus without her helmet. Been a few months since I've played a game with an ending, we play a lot of NBA JAM and Williams Pinball Hall of Fame around here, but it feels good. Might break out some more NES classics in the next few days to see what I can add to this year's total.

anything else. It was....really nice and I'm looking forward to more episodes.

Hit detection kinda sucks, though.

In what parts/way exactly? I don't remember thinking so, but I had so much fun with the game so maybe I refused to see it.

15. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (GBC): 6/3 - all but one heart

I bought both Oracle games on clearance over a decade ago, partially playing through both. Then sometime last year I decided to give it another go. Started a brand new game, got up to the final boss but had somehow missed the entire trading sequence, so had no access to heart potion. Yesterday, decided to go back and beat the end boss finally doing so today. Only needed a guide for about 5% of the game, so pleased with that. This is the most hearts I have ever completed a Zelda game with and that was all on my own. Will be playing a linked game of Oracle of Ages sometime this summer, just wish I hadn't sold my GameCube so I could play it on my television.

[markusman64ds]

I beat Pokemon SoulSilver yesterday night. It took around an hour to beat Red on Mt. Silver. Still, a very fun game that I recommend to all DS owners.

6/3/12:

Kickle Cubicle (NES)

Kickle Cubicle is a game that I loved since I first encountered when it came out in 1990. I never owned it and had to settle for renting it as often as possible. I finally was able to snag a copy a few months ago and worked my way through the worlds. I had not touched it in a few weeks, but I was determined to get through the final few stages of the last world and beat the game. I fought hard on some stages (the ones with the hammers especially) and thought I was going to lose my mind on the final boss. I lost again....and again....and again....and AGAIN....until I finally beat him! It was satisfying watching the end credits and story and I was glad that after over two decades since I first played it I mastered it!0

[RetroRage]

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES, 1/5/12)

Beaten twice today. Really enjoyed flying through it the second time with the levels maxed out.

i just beat this one for the first time. i never could as a kid, the palace at the end (if i ever made it that far) was impossible to navigate

6/10/12:

The Legend of Zelda (NES)

I started playing the game on 6/4/12. I would play for 2-3 hours at a time each time I sat down. On 6/5/12, I was nearly finished the first quest. I beat the first quest 6/6/12 and trudged forward a little bit. I picked it up again yesterday with me basically being half done the second quest. I was determined to beat it today but level 8 was a major pain so I put it down until just about an hour ago. I would have beat the game sooner but the maps are so tiny in the NES Game Atlas, making it hard to tell the little directional arrows telling you you could go only one way. I had a eureka moment (finally!) and was able to make it to Ganon. I defeated him with a little effort and rescued Princess Zelda. The ending is short, but still satisfying! Zelda II will be my next game I think...

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES, 1/5/12)
Final Fantasy (NES, 2/20/12)
Metroid (NES, 5/26/12)
Kirby's Adventure (NES, 6/11/2012)

I never really played Kirby's Adventure during the heyday of the NES, but it was pretty fun and was a decent challenge. Not to mention, a nice diversion from getting destroyed by Mike Tyson. Hoping this victory gives Little Mac a boost in the next bout.

[SpaceHarrier]

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES, 1/5/12)

I was working on this earlier this year, but I gave up! Anyway, my short list:

1. Legend of Zelda (NES) - It was the 2nd game I ever got, way back in 1987, but I only just got around to beating it. Yes, my backlog stretches for decades I started the game from the beginning again, and found it quite compelling, after not touching it for the last 10 years or so.

2. Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (PS1)

3. X-Com UFO Defense (PS1) - Ok, so I beat it on beginner difficulty, but the game is amazingly tough anyway. I'm playing through it on a harder diff. now that I understand the mechanics better.

4. Street Fighter IV - Seth.. MF'ing Seth. Just when you think a fighting game end boss can't get any cheaper...

[Collector_Gaming]

1. Duke Nukem Forever 1/1 (pc)
2. Stronghold 2 was awhile ago sorry (pc)
3. Doom 3 (pc) 2/12
4. Trials Evolution (Xbox 360) 4/26
5. Limbo (Xbox 360) 6/11

Finally beat this damn game after starting it when ever the hell it came out (i can't remember).
Very interesting game infact actually i kinda didn't get what the hell was going on till i looked a few youtube videos and read the comments and someone suggested what was going on and it all made sense... But very cool. Very artsy and different which is also a plus in itself. The only downside to me.. but maybe a plus for some is this game doesn't really use traditional puzzle solving techniques that you see in other games. I think of this as more like a jury rigging kinda solving thing where you gotta macguyver it and think outside the box to advance.

4.5 out 5 is what i'll give it
