Summer Games Challenge 2015

I've not tried Ghosts n' Goblins or Ghouls n' Ghosts

You should play Ghouls 'n Ghosts sometimes. It is a bit easier than the others, and I think it is the most fun game in the series. (Also, the Genesis version is almost arcade perfect.)

I liked Army of Zin a lot more. The difficulty curve is a bit more relaxed, and combat felt a bit smoother as well. I never did finish Maximo, though.

I have mixed feelings about Army of Zin. It was a good game, and I saw it through to the end. (It is undoubtedly easier than Ghosts to Glory.) I didn't think the enviroments were as good as the original, however, and fighting robots instead of ghosts, ghouls, goblins, etc. just didn't seem right to me.

Actually, what I really want to try out now is Gargoyle's Quest!

As for the Summer Challenge, I will try to wrap up Bonk next. I thought I would end up liking this one more than I actually do...

Are you making use of the turbo switches to fly in Bonk? It makes the game a bit of a joke, but I still love doing it

[BoneSnapDeez]

Yeah, the game is just dull though. Maybe I'll plow through it this weekend.

Oh, yeah, Gargoyle's Quest would be a great choice. Have you played any in the series? They're all good, but Demon's Crest is spectacular.

[BoneSnapDeez]

I'm sure I dubbed around with them in the past via emulation, but I don't own any. Gargoyle's Quest is surprisingly cheaper than I anticipated so I may as well get it.

Play the Gameboy original first. It is just as good as its sequels and easily one of the Gameboy's best games.

[Sarge]

Yeah, if you're going the legit route, Gargoyle's Quest will be the cheapest to obtain. The NES game is starting to get up there (over $50 for sure), and it looks like Demon's Crest is up above $100 loose.

Thankfully, I think all of them are available on Virtual Console. (I do own all three carts, fortuitously.)

God tier game. My favorite GB game of all time. You're in for an awesome experience.

I've heard a few people mention that Bonk is not really all that fun. That's so disappointing! I don't even own a TG16 and I feel slightly invested in the little guy.

I've been slightly delayed in my Summer Challenge because I got obsessed with watching Let's Plays of the Five Nights at Freddy's series and investigating its lore. I don't even know how this happened.

I'm still wandering around in Phantasy Star, following clues and leveling up. I never feel secure in RPGs anymore unless I gain a few extra levels, on top of what I gained while traveling, after finding a new town.

I've got a party of four, including myself. One of my associates is wearing a steel cape(?!). Things feel pretty linear so far. I know there are multiple endings based on "choices," as some of you have alluded to, and I'm curious whether or not I'm going to be aware of those decisive moments when they occur.

Note: Don't tell me! I don't want to know! Don't be that guy!
