Yes! Let's have some whimsy that isn't a brand collaboration. Some silliness without an additional purchase Big. Head.

I love the little jingles each of them would have! Like the old memory card models, they're artifacts and pieces of a game that don't get kept when they move to a new platform. But they're still part of the experience, and I keep meaning to find ways to archive them

Demos are a crucial piece of gaming history, and the hype they generate is real. There's a reason Zone of the Enders is there too, and it sure ain't the mech combat

Metal Gear (Solid) is the one series that I get weird about collecting. I have at least one way to play every non-online title. They're all playable. It's fine. But y'know? Maybe I should find out how MGS4 plays on a modern console.

91.8% of players, having waited nearly 20 years for MGS4 to be playable on anything other than PS3, booted the game and immediately made a beeline for a statue's dick

Agreed. Terranigma is a name that gets a small subset of people very very hyped. I see it as allowing lead time while that subset lets everyone else know why this is such a big deal

Ninpek suits a compilation setting so well. There were games like this on Famicom back in the day. Fun, addicting, but not quite enough to justify a standalone release post 1989. Here? I've been putting in 15 minutes between other titles. And it's just right. Current high score is 9750. For now.

Gold on Barbuta! It's intentionally obtuse and a little cruel. But it evokes the trial and error needed to learn a game trying to give you a lengthy challenge in a small space. And the shopkeepers keeps you from being forced to slog too hard. It's not my favorite, but I really like it

This was the first game I ever seriously considered importing. I love the series, and I finally found the GBA game a few years ago. It still holds up

Starting off with some Mortol. I love when games can make the concept of 1-ups mean more than just another try. The risk and reward of sacrificing one guy to move forward or even get extra guys is satisfying I don't love that I mix up the "jump" and the "die" button every time I unpause
