Random Gaming Thoughts

Just realized that I own more Genesis games than SNES games. How did this happen?!

My GBA and Gamecube collections are at near parity. I started collected them both at nearly the same time.

EDIT: I thought with the gains I made in GBA collection in the past 2 months, they were close. Turns out they're not. However, I did make the NES/SNES a perfect balance

Gordon Freeman is such a boss he doesn't even have to drop his gun to climb up a ladder at a 90 degree angle.

Sometimes snagging a huge lot of games throws everything off balance.

I mean, I consciously "collect" Dreamcast games. But I have twice as many Intellivision titles as Dreamcast due to a craigslist find.

Dreamcast lots were my thing many years ago. I'd be getting games in sets of 4. That's how the count is so high (that, and dealing with JMustang1968 a lot here in the past year )

I just got my copy of Capcom Classics Mini Mix for GBA from eBay today.

When I tested it I was surprised at how well they ported Bionic Commando from NES. Most games have little differences in the way they feel when you play them, or a little different looking graphics; when ported to handheld. Bionic Commando felt just the like NES version though, and I've played the NES game A LOT.

Good job Capcom!

I'll say the same for the GBA port of Super Ghouls & Ghosts. It was a perfect port. They didn't port it themselves, but the contractor they used did a good job.

Does Contra: Legacy of War suck as much ass juice as everybody says or is all the hate unwarranted? After playing Super C yesterday I'm slightly interested in picking up this game

The 32-bit Contra games are terrible. You should play any - and all - of the other games in the series before you even consider purchaing them. (FYI, Operation C is criminally underrated.)

Pretty much.

Hard to believe there's one bad Contra game, let alone several.

Though if you really wanna scrape the bottom of the barrel one has to play the Commodore 64 port of Contra - where shooting and moving is controlled by the joystick and jumping is done with.......... the space bar.

The PS1/SAT games were made by Appaloosa Interactive, not Konami.
