One of the best Pokemon games released. Great soundtrack, entertaining NPCs, and a decent story for a Pokemon game.
So far this hack has been amazing. A love letter to both 4chan as well as video games in general, with many levels accurately recreating the aesthetics or mechanics of other games. The difficultly level is a bit all over the place though.
A decent entry in the series - good graphics for the time and refines a lot of aspects that were flawed from the original, such as save and recharge stations. However, barring a few tracks, the music is mostly ambient bleeps and bloops, and the gameplay can get pretty repetitive by the end of it all.
For my money, the best Game Gear Sonic title. Very detailed graphics, cutscenes between zones, catchy music and solid controls make it feel like the "Sonic 3" of the handheld entries.
Short and simple game with detailed graphics, catchy music, and a tight control scheme. Good to kill a couple of hours with
1992
Underrated run 'n gun that's challenging without being too overbearing. A great soundtrack and kickass soundtrack help accent the action, and strategizing between your three weapons is essential. Use the level select code to "save" your progress.
Wanted to start Final Fantasy from the beginning, and figured I'd ease myself in by playing this version instead of the original on the NES. Despite having a simple story, this remake was a lot of fun to play. A pretty comfortable time barring a few bosses, with an amazing remixed soundtrack and beautiful overhauled graphics.
1995
Great little time-waster with one of the best soundtracks on the GameBoy and a surprising amount of depth for its simple premise. Latter worlds can get a bit frustrating until you figure out how to juggle Kirby around, but overall the difficulty curve is pretty smooth and nothing becomes too frustrating.
Confusing title aside, this is Super Mario World as you remember it..... mostly. I played a color restoration hack which improves the washed-out colors of the original GBA release. The OST also takes a hit, with less quality in the audio's fidelity and some songs sounding a little off, such as the Underground theme. The voice acting can also be a little grating at times, especially if a particular section is giving you trouble. All this aside, this is still Super Mario World, which is still an amazing game.
