appreciate the... vivid description, Castlevania 2 Manual

Kind of unreasonably pleased that they kept the Stage 3 balls intact

Got 100 treasures in Wario Land 3. What a game. I think I like Wario Land 2 a little bit better? But it's still kind of mindboggling how much stuff they packed into this one. I totally get why most people have it as their fav
Screenshot from Wario Land 3. Wario stands in front of a colorful background, the words "Perfect!" hovering over his head. He's smiling at you and giving you two thumbs up for a job well done. Good job!

Listening to the first Tracy Chapman album and it's crazy how ahead of the curve she was in terms of acoustic folk rock. You could've told me this album came out in 2001 and I would've believed you

Rolled credits on The Sun and Moon. Sometimes you need a fiddly precision platformer that makes you mad. Easy recommendation if you like something like that. The phasing mechanic and short levels make it a lot of fun and easy to throw yourself at it over and over again

I see there's discourse on the definition of what a game is again, but thecatamites already definitively answered that question
What is a game? Professor M. Mouse of Texas, America claims that the word game denotes
"the historical process by which the term game has been characterized and understood".
Easy for you to say, Professor!!
Those of us with a more down-home approach to codifying the various aspects of a
nebulous and unbearable human condition prefer to go by a simpler definition, thus.

A game is some combination of the following indivisible elements:
- skeleton
- red key
- score thing
- magic door

If you see something that looks like a videogame but isn't, you should notify the Police.
