Markies' Games Acquired List Of 2026!

1. Mario Pinball Land (GBA)
2. Ys: The Ark of Napishtim (PS2)
3. Giga Wing 2 (SDC)
4. Pokemon Yellow (GBC)
5. The Walking Dead: Game of the Year Edition (PS3)
6. Dragon Warrior I & II (GBC)

I added Dragon Warrior I & II for the Nintendo GameBoy Color this afternoon!

I am looking to be adding some longer games to my collection and what game is longer than two Dragon Quest games on one cartridge. I played both NES games years ago where I actually enjoyed Dragon Quest II better than the first one. I've always wanted to replay them, especially the first, to see if my opinion on them has changed. I saw that these remakes make it very easy to get into with added gold and experience along with a better interface. I look forward to playing something simpler and revisiting these old classics.

Not a game, but I got my first PS3 last week. Since then, I've swapped out the internal hard drive with a 1TB SSD and installed a CFW. The PS3 also came with a bunch of games (mostly sports games and games I can get on newer consoles), as well as a PS Move.

Just completed it (Aria of Sorrow) and got the "true" ending.

It's a great game! And it is also the first Castlevania game I have actually beaten. It's up there with Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion as my favourite games on the GBA so far.

I think Fusion is an overall stronger experience, just because of how it manages mood, so I'm with you. I do think Aria of Sorrow may be one of the very best GBA games.

Yeah, I feel it's a stronger experience too. I know people complain that it's more linear than a typical Metroid game, but there is a narrative reason for it and I feel the game is well paced with a strong story. Not to mention that it does eventually open up quite a bit in the latter half. Being stalked by the SA-X is also a great part of the game.
