Clearly, you haven't listened to the album "Ready to Die" by The Notorious BIG. Shit is art.

Well I'm not a big rap fan(in fact the Reese's puff commercial makes me scramble for the remote every time it comes on to change the channel or mute it at least). I'm the guy that listens more so to rock, some metal, and some pop/k-pop(j-pop?). But the thing still stands that nintendo apparently doesn't care for those of us that enjoyed dk64 >_>

Nabbed an SNES game off of eBay for the first time in what seems like forever: Soul Blazer.

Hope to pick up 天地創造 (Tenchi Sōzō aka Terranigma) soon, then I'll play through the Heaven and Earth trilogy (for the first time without emulation).

So many good action-RPGs on the SNES.

One of my favorite games of all time, and very underrated. You can probably beat it in under 8 hours, but the gameplay and soundtrack is amazing. Enjoy that one!

I've been picking up new games left and right recently, and have been looking at SNES stuff. Apparently all the cheap SNES games are shmups...

My most recent purchases on SNES are nearly all shmups and all cost me £5-10

Cybernator - £5
Super SWIV - £5
Super Aleste - £6
UN Squadron - £10

I've spotted a copy of Pop'n Twinbee for £10 too. Worth it?

I really need to get picking up more of the SNES 'classics'. I have some of the obvious choices:

Super Mario World
Super Mario Kart
Super Punch Out
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 3
Starfox

So many obvious choices I'm missing though. Damn SNES games and their priciness!:

Kirby's Fun Pak
Yoshi's Island
Donkey Kong Country 2
F-Zero
Super Metroid
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Thats my big want's list.

Super Metroid is great. I picked it up a few weeks ago because my daughter wanted to watch a "scary" game, and now she asks me to play it every so often. (I am about two hours into it, and I just picked up the grapple beam in Norfair.) She is intrigued by the fact that Samus is a blonde girl - like her! - and that she fights "scary" aliens. She also peppers me with questions about the plot. (It is all very mysterious to her.) Regardless - and regardless of the fact that this will be my fourth time through the game - I am enjoying it quite a bit. The game is just so well-designed.

You got a steal on those, especially Super Aleste.

Pop'n Twinbee worth another £10?


I'm still on a bit of a SNES kick actually. Picked up 3 more games yesterday night (prices include postage):

F-Zero - £6
Kirby's Ghost Trap - £6 - This one is Kirby Avalanche for all you American gamers!
Kirby's Fun Pak - £17 - This one is Kirby SuperStar for all you American gamers!

Unfortunately the Fun Pak cartridge looks a little grotty. Hopefully I can clean it up nice and shiny like. It mainly seems to be some discolouring on the label though.

Traded my ps2 in and either got 35 or 40 in cash I can't remember or 70 in credit. Was going to get the cash but they put out zelda link to the past and even though its on the genesis, castlevania bloodlines. Total was 70.00. Had to get the two games I've been looking for. Was going to pick up tetris attack, dkc3 and yoshi' s story until I saw castlevania. Had to get that genesis game. Cart looks brand new. Same with zelda. Can't wait till i play zelda today.

I'd say so especially for two player. It's a lot of fun.
