Post of the day.

I'm holding the Saturn version on my hands at the moment. The fact that it contains pure, unadulterated Zuntata in CDDA format helps a lot.

A HUGE BATTLESHIP
KING FOSSIL
IS APPROACHING FAST

That and the original Loom for PC. Duke Nukem (the old one), Zak Mc Kraken or whatever it was called, the original Sim City, Hexen, Descent, Forsaken and a loooooong etcetera.

Oh! Thexder for the MSX. Boy, I really liked that one.

I've only played one Darius game (pretty sure it was on PS2), and it was a lot of fun =[

And the Huge Battleship intro is the best thing. I love it so much.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to more glorious Zuntata in Darius Burst, even if it is for the PSP. Remind me to post a picture of myself wearing that Darius t-shirt which came out earlier this year.

Oh man, I remember loving that game.

*Thinks* Does Day of the Tentacle count as obscure? Or the original Sam & Max?

Can't think of a good signature.

Don't know how many other people will know it, but I pretty much cut my gaming teeth on Pitfall II: Lost Caverns (Adventurer's Edition) for the Atari 5200*, among several other games on that and the 2600 as well (anyone remember Combat?  Missile Command?).

... which reminds me, I should dig the system out and play sometime.





* And, before anyone asks: I had absolutely no problem with the controllers.  And still don't. :P

I played Missile Command despite never having an Atari. Arcade Missile Command is where it's at.

I got a rom of Metal Max Returns that I've been sitting on. That count?

Yeah that's the one.

PS2 would have as well, I'm close to finishing it, as soon as I get enough levels to actually get past

And it is absolutely Marvelous. I am glad I was in Europe for that one.

All Kirby games get horrible names when they cross into PAL territory.  Fact.

Kirby's Avalanche was okay, but I think Puyo did it better.
I like Tetris Attack better.
Bust-A-Move was... okay, I guess.

Kirby Block Ball was my first Kirby game.  Great game.

I wanna know why "Dewprism" wasn't good enough for the US when they changed it to Threads of Fate...
