Yup. Just randomly read articles on there when you have time. You will learn about a lot of weird crap you never knew existed.

Randomly? Read them all!

I say randomly as in not necessarily in order. I always just browse around and look to see which ones I haven't read yet. And others I've read over and over. It's a great site.

Back to the main topic, did any of you played the "Advance" version of NES games, such as Super Dodge Ball and Double Dragon?

I do own the FF: I & II collection on GBA, which is the enhanced version of WSC - which in turn was the enhanced version of the NES. Gotta say, other than for retrospect, I don't see myself getting a FF I on VC.

I did play Double Dragon and other NES games with my cousins while I was living in Taiwan, but never touch them again when I moved back to US.

suppose the original super mario brothers games could be considered enhanced. better graphics and added sounds.

also i enjoyed River city ransom ex. loved the original for nes and this one was great too. the ability to save is appreciated as you can boost up your characters and not have them go away. never tried the multiplayer, but i hear it was good.

Gotta say the cover art is kinda a turn-off for me, but I did check the screenshots from various sites, and they look nothing like the cover art!

yea...the cover art was awful but the game was pretty good. same game as NES but updated graphics and ability to save. its a shame all the Kunio games released in recent years have been a bit shit
