I agree completely. I'm also very happy playing the 8-bit games as well (Damn TMNT is hard!)

Super Mario Brothers 3 is better on the Wii than it was on the NES. I can turn off the Wii and it saves my game state so I don't have to start over. I might be able to finish it again after all these years. (I got into "The Zone" one evening many many years ago and beat it once. Never had the patience to do it again.)

I got a PS2 for Christmas (can't afford anything newer, and I haven't had a console since the SNES), and I am finally discovering the joys of Lego Star Wars II. Except for the Mos Eisley Cantina song constantly stuck in my head. Meanwhile, my wife is playing FFX.

Some of my favourites I haven't downloaded yet, because I still have them on the ol' NES and they still work (most of the time). Kid Icarus and SMB 2. Might DL Mario 3 soon.

I really hope that they have Mario Kart (16 bit)available soon - I can't wait to play that one again!

I'm excited that Super Metroid is now available.

I also would squeal with delight if Rocket Knight Adventures appeared.

LOVE that game. Beat it in three lives once, I was so darned obsessed with it.

Super Mario 3's last level was such a jump in difficulty that I've only bothered beating it a handful of times.

Good choice. I've owned all the major consoles (except the PS3) since the SuperNES and the PS2 is my favourite console of all time. The range and quality of games is phenomenal, its durable and not prone to any major problems. I've held off on the PS3 because I know it will eventually be the PS2-killer. Also, the range of games isn't quite where I would like.

I played Lego Star Wars for the first time last weekend with Gia's 7-year-old cousin. That is a surprisingly fun game that is almost definitely even more fun with a 7-year-old.

The four year old was rather comical with it as well.

Idon't think Simon knows how to use the nunchuck. He just stood in one place with a blaster and killed everything, including his teammates.

Yeah, that was pretty funny.

He doesn't. That's what was so comical. Especially when he sat there and killed his brother over and over again.

Perhaps my cousins are encouraging a bit to much violence between those boys?

Holy S***. Very impressive, my friend. I'm trying to remember and I think I only made it to the 4th level (out of five) a handful of times when I was a kid.
I haven't had the time to invest to get any further since I've downloaded it!

The trick, in the end, is to jump and kick pretty much constantly and with perfect aim. It's a pain in the butt to beat bad guys that way, but it does work when you're obsessive about it.

Great game regardless. The only side-scroller I prefer over it is the X-Men game released a few years later.

I had TMNT on my Amstrad tape-drive. Good times.

You could only access the game with the password system where it asked you what the third word of the first sentence of the fourth paragraph on page 7 of the booklet was.

If you failed, Shredder would scowl.

I've been playing GearHead recently.

The fighting gets kinda repetitive after a while, but it would probably be different if I went for a different build (say, a melee-type character instead of the sniper I normally favour.)

Was that the awesome arcade game they never ported over to a console? If so, I just saw one of those recently at a pizza place. Good times!

Yep, that's the one. There's a ROM out there that works with most Sega Saturn emulators - pretty much the only reason to have a Sega Saturn emulator - but it's pretty buggy. It's best in the arcade, particularly because the ROM doesn't have the bizarre, scratchy, vaguely techno. soundtrack.

GearHead looks like fun, but there isn't much documentation that I can see. I shall have to see about downloading it at home.
