Still not playing a whole lot since I'm pretty busy, but I have been reading plenty of Nintendo Power. I'm up to issue 49, so I decided to take a crack at B.O.B. on Super Nintendo as I read the coverage on it. It seemed pretty lame from past experience, but having played it more now, I'd say it's more middle of the road. Not particularly bad, not particularly good. Pretty challenging, though, even just a few stages in. Typical American game design of this era. A lot of cheap shots and deaths that you just have to eat since there's no opportunity to react, so there's a lot of memorization involved, although even that doesn't always help because the response time is kind of slow. I wish this game provided passwords a little more often rather than one every three stages. Some nice little touches in terms of animation, but the music blows and is repeated way too much. The overall visual style is getting way too repetitive also, but hopefully that'll change. I'm up to stage 10 so far. At least there's a little bit of variety to the gameplay. In the 9 stages I've completed, one was a boss and another was racing around in some kind of ship.

I'm playing B.O.B. on Super Nintendo intermittently, but I'm up to... stage 15, I think? I beat the second boss, which was the last of the first world (with three worlds in total, I believe). It's kind of troubling that I had to get through four stages to get my last password (five if you count stage 14, which was basically just a cinematic sequence). I hope there won't be much more of that, and I definitely hope they won't bump it even further.

Battletoads for the NES... Man is that game hard!

I didn't get to post this before, but a few weeks ago I went to the arcade about a half hour from where I live and played 40+ games from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. This was a HUGE deal for me as I am only 14 years old now, so I never really got to play at an arcade before. Now I know what it was like for kids back then... Man I wish I was born earlier! And even better than that, my dad knows how much I love retro video games so he promised to take me there once a month! And this weekend, on Saturday, it will have been a month which means I can go kick it old skool once again! And even better than that, I'm allowed to bring my 2 best friends which I have progressively turned into retro gamers too, and appreciate retro games as much as me! Man, life is good!

Chipping away at B.O.B. on Super Nintendo. I'm on the 10th stage of the third/final world. I'm a little intimidated by this world, since the game was already fairly challenging and everybody seems to say that the game REALLY goes crazy with the last world. It's definitely been kicking my butt and took a good deal of practice just to clear what I have. I must be getting pretty close to the end, though, so we'll see if it goes even nuttier yet.

I also had some fun trying out recent acquisitions. I tried out Yoshi, BurgerTime, Solar Jetman, Shadow of the Ninja, and Kung-Fu Heroes on NES, Uniracers and Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose! on SNES, and Iggy's Reckin' Balls on N64. Some pretty decent games among those.

[The 1 2 P]

Been playing lots of the Gunstringer lately. I also checked out the demos for Mass Effect 3 and have been going back to the Gotham City Imposters demo. I even played Mortal Kombat II on my GBA SP. I was close to beating it but the last boss is cheap as hell.

[Rickstilwell1]

I'm finally playing through Suikoden IV for the first time. It starts out looking not so promising, then it gets better once you break away from the early settings of the game and start gathering characters.

After spending 3 weeks playing Etrian Odyssey III (I'm about half-way through the game), I played a bit of Super Mario 3D Land (mostly getting of the golden coins I've missed previously) before switching this morning to Ocarina of Time 3D, where I'm in the Water Temple. Even with the useful help of the touch screen to put on and remove the steel boots, it's still not an easy temple to get through. Anyway, I'm not giving in and I will eventually finally finish OoT.

[SEGA_Queen]

I've been playing Tales of Hearts off and on for the past few weeks. I'm about halfway through now, and I really love it despite my lack of Japanese language comprehension.

So far I've only needed to use guides for the Soma Evolve system, and the Heal Stone options. The rest I figured out through trial and error.

It a pity that Namco never localized this title, it really is one of the best portable Tales games. Oh well, if the speculation/rumors about Hearts getting a Vita remake are true, maybe we will eventually see it in English.

[YoshiM]

Recently finished Neutopia on TG-16. Was very surprised how it stuck its claws in me and kept me playing to finish when I initially thought of it as a poor Zelda clone.

Fiddled around with the Mass Effect 3 demo along with demos for a variety of games on XBL (yeah, they were so good I forgot their titles...oy).

Before work yesterday I dipped my toes into the pool of Mystic Defender for Genesis. And speaking of pools, lately my daughter wants to "play" a game so I pop in Super Mario 64 and swim in the pond by the castle as she says"Get the fish! Get the fish!" as she flails on the NES controller I handed her.

I'm a bit behind on my modern RPGs so I've started playing through some Blue Dragon on my 360. I've had the game for months and its finally time to play it.

*2 hours later*

I can find items in monster poo? WTF Gooch?

I'm halfway thru Alan Wake: American Nightmare. It's short but thats to be expected considering it's a $15 downloadable title. One change I definitely don't like are the check point lights going out immediately. I also played Castlevania: Circle of The Moon and HAL Wrestling on my GBA while waiting for my car to get serviced. HAL Wrestling is one of the cheapest wrestling games ever. The CPU will act like it's a real prowrestler and hardly ever lets you get any moves in. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to play that once again.

[jordandavid]

will i be judged if I say I'm currently playing NBA Hangtime (N64) a lot? Like an unhealthy amount. The AI in that game makes it addicting. The better you play, the better they play. It makes for competitive gameplay against a computer I didn't know was possible back then.
