I've been eagerly awaiting this game for a while since it's the first English localization of a non-mobile, completely original (so in other words, I'm ruling out Hakuoki ports) otome game in a long time, and so far it's been excellent. Cleared my first route (got all possible endings for Shin's route), so now I'm moving on to the next character.

Amazing little game. Not very long, but well worth a playthrough. This is how you make a Metroidvania.

21. Never Alone

Another one of those co-op games that are short and tell a small story. This one is pretty to look at, as a nice OST and a series of amazing documentary snippets about I�upiaq culture. The game plays well enough, with a few areas where the controls are sluggish and the AI is particularly dumb at times. I enjoyed it enough that I just dropped $3 on the DLC levels.

Achived Megalopolis status in Sim City on hard mode for SNES. Then I released Bowser to destroy the city.

[The Adventurer]

On a whim I plugged Super Mario Land in my GBA, and beat it in about an hour.

I still got it.

It had been probably 25 years since I'd really played this one. Far easier to play as an adult with faqs/level select code to continue where you left off. I really like the story, cutscenes, and overall feel of the game. Some of the different modes can feel pretty restrictive and stiff, but that was mostly when it gets later in the game and the difficulty goes way up. Boy, what a pain in the ass this was to finish. I probably never would have finished it if it wasn't for the level select code; no way I'd start it over each time. But this feels like a game that should have a save/password feature, as some of the levels are pretty darn hard and confusing. Still, I did enjoy the game quite a bit and it's definitely a unique NES game with the adult story, cutscenes, and variety of gameplay.

Vertical Force has that Star Soldier feel with those interesting barrier sections to go over or under. It's one of my favorite VB games. Little League Baseball feels more like Neo Geo Baseball Stars in how it's lower scoring with more ground balls like you mentioned. I like it. Kirby's Adventure is one I played through recently again, and while I like it, I find that I have to play through it quickly or I get bored.

Yes, Vertical Force is definitely one of the better VB games I have played. I'm such a sucker for shmups anyways. I haven't played Neo Geo Baseball stars before, perhaps someday. But Little League is definitely a new favorite NES sports game of mine. Kirby's Adventure I had to play in chunks, so I see what you mean about going through quickly. I really started getting into it more towards the end. The final battle was pretty darn cool!

Did Money Puzzle Exchanger for MVS on level 4 difficulty the other day. That was taxing. I don't know that I've played a puzzle game that frantic before. By the end, I swear, you have about 10 seconds to win the round or it's over. Still, I can't say I didn't have fun. Also cleared Nightmare in the Dark on level 4. Not too tough, and I liked the atmosphere... it was like Snow Bros had a baby with Ghosts n Goblins. Also, finished one credit runs on Wrestlefest (Royal Rumble and Main Event modes) on that PCB. Was using it to test out a new supergun build I did to test stuff for building my infant son a half-size arcade cabinet when he's a toddler. No 60 in 1 or moppet stuff... that boy's gonna run a JAMMA rig and play the good stuff. Cleared my new working US Championship V'ball PCB on default settings as well without losing, but not on one credit, because the time limit is harsh.

22. Goodbye Deponia

This is the longest of the three and probably the most interesting. Less fiddly than the second, more involved than the first. Worth playing for the over all story and came to a close that I think works fine, given the direction we've been heading. As a whole series, it's actually pretty frustrating, switching between decent and annoying at the load of a screen. I'm talked about this in the past, but the game was originally in German and was straight translated, not localized. So, there are many aspects that just don't land well in English (such as an insufferably egotistical main character, poking fun at the transgendered and selling a black chick into a slavery where she has to act like a monkey for money, to narrow it down to the major complaints).

I played version one of this a few years ago on Kongregate. It's still fun and clever, but it doesn't have any of the bells and whistles added to the complete version on Android (which sort of makes since, as that version was built with microtransactions in mind). Still, for a $1 it's worth the hour or two it takes to complete.

Similar to Doodle God, another game I played years ago on Kongregate, another game people complain about because it doesn't have all the features that were added for the Android version. Another simple, enjoyable puzzle game. At first glance it seems shorter, but it compensates by being more difficult.

[Cornelius]

Don't contribute in here much, so I don't have a nice list like most of you (I'm jealous!). Don't finish many games, in fact. Anyway, I did finish one last night.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Originally started it in 2013 but quit playing for some reason, at a point just before the sky city. Picked it back up a month or two ago. Usually I use multiple save files on games, but its Zelda, so not really necessary and I had been using a single file back in 2013, so I kept using the same one. First save I make is in the cannon room, which is one of two game-breaking bugs that won't allow you to continue. AAARRGH. I'd done it up to that point without any guides or looking anything up, but I didn't remember stuff after so long, so I just pulled up a guide and rushed through it back to where I was.

[M.Buster2184]

I don't know why it gave me so much trouble, but after being stuck on Nightmare forever, I finally beat Metroid Fusion.
