I only log journal dates when finishing/retiring a game. I've tried to create a comprehensive history of everything I've ever finished, so all dates from before 2020 are either ballpark guesses or are based on console/achievement/trophy data.
All reviews pre-June 2022 were migrated over from a different game tracking site.

This was shocking to me, because the very first thing I did once I learned the core concept of the game was shoot the leader guy in the face to see what would happen.
Now, assuming a good chunk of those 3% actually played the game well and got a more substantial ending instead of goofing around like I did, how few gamers turned on the game, picked the Gun Guy option, and blew away Diet Caesar? 2 percent? Less than 1? Does that say something about me, about people in general, or both?
...anyhow lol get rekt Sentius
But! The secret to enjoying this maligned Virtual Boy title lies in a special cheat code! From the title screen, press A, Right, and then A again, and you'll be rewarded with the part of the game that's actually fun!
Really though, 3-D Tetris's Puzzle Mode is far more compelling and clever than I expected, and if it weren't for the eye strain, I would have completed it in a single sitting. (I played on 3DS, and while I currently have a throbbing sensation behind my right eye, I really did enjoy the 3D effect.) In this mode, you are shown a three-dimensional shape made of tetriminos, and are tasked with recreating it exactly while using a predetermined set of blocks in a fixed order. There are 20 puzzles in total; some took me only a few minutes, while more complex stages were genuinely challenging, requiring 10-20 attempts. (I'm looking at you, Stage 18 - "Gorilla") I really liked it! It also helps that it has an absolute banger soundtrack, I'm gonna be coming back to this one in the future.
Anyhow, Puzzle Mode good! Everything else bad!
