I just think you've found that "perfect storm" of game genre that holds no interest for me. .
    Honestly, I mainly try to pick games that are a little less popular to get folks to dive a little deeper into what they already might own but haven't spent a lot of time with. I do play through each myself the week or two before in order to ensure they aren't too long, and Dexterity just happened to be around while I was playing Link's Awakening on my Game Boy this week. I really lean toward shooters and platformers, but I try to mix it up a little. The import alternative is there to offer a workaround for stuff you don't have or like, though! Rest assured, though, it'll keep changing... plus I already did Lolo weeks back.

    It doesn't really count unless it's an obscure Japanese porn game.

    Not a difficult game so I did play through all three modes and re-did the last one a few times until I could 1CC it. Think I'm gonna switch back to console games next week.

    I had to look it up but you're right. It was even ported to the Anniversary Collection for the XBOX which I have. I'm a dum-dum.

    In all seriousness I've been playing MAME almost exclusively for the past few weeks since I finished up my controller and finally got everything wired up to my PVM.

    For this weeks player's choice I went with TetraStar: The Fighter (Famicom) with an English patch. Quite the fun shooter with excellent graphics.

    Umm, isn't player's choice this week just a game that has the word "fight" in the title and last week was to play a system exclusive? The game jperryss played is okay, right?

    Ha, holy shit am I sleep deprived. Sorry 'bout that, jperryss, it counts! I forgot my entire post from last Saturday, what with work, my cousin's funeral, and my wife's wisdom teeth out!

    Also, that reminds me, time for the June RPG.

    Default June RPG Challenge

    Well, Culdcept failed to draw anyone in, so it's time for a new monthly RPG challenge. This month...

    The World Ends with You (DS)

    A lot of people have strong feelings on this one, and some people worry about its complexities with the fashion bonuses and food bonuses. Let me offer some encouragement, if I might...

    All of that shit, while helpful, can be utterly ignored. The real trick to beating it is getting comfortable with its battle system. Pick a couple of pins that suit you with their attacks so you don't have to focus so hard on the bottom screen, and take the time to hit home with your partner's attacks to do way more damage quickly.

    Also, on these RPG challenges, a new game + counts, so long as you bother to clear the whole game. Good luck!

    I played Danan: The Jungle Fighter for player's choice this week. A pretty unremarkable action game for Sega Master System.

    I briefly attempted Mad Maestro, but still don't like it (I first played it a year or so after it was released). While I like the idea of a classical music rhythm game, having pressure sensitive controls just isn't fun.

    I've never played Dexterity and will probably give it a try.

    Although I think The World Ends with You is a fantastic game, I'm currently playing another RPG at the moment, so I'll probably be skipping it. I'd encourage others to give it a try though. Once you get the hang of it, the battle system is a lot of fun.

    Ha, I didn't even catch what you were getting at with that comment. I thought it was in reference to all my MAMEing. No worries. And good looking out Scissors!

    Default Week 23

    Wow, what a messed up week (for me). Still, time moves on, so it's time for new games. I personally had very little time to play this week, though I did manage to finally play through Link's Awakening on Game Boy after all these years. Pretty solid, though the last couple of dungeons were tedious. Anyhow, for this week:

    -Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth (N64)

    -Any game from the Darkstalkers series

    -Player's choice: pick any game with a possessive noun in the title. Examples might include Shien's Revenge, Dragon's Crown, Dive Alert: Matt's Version, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Kirby's Adventure, Akiba's Trip, Card Fighter's Clash, Demon's Souls, Demon's Crest, etc.

    -The World Ends with You is the June RPG. I hope someone tries it. I loved it.

    -Import alternative: Groove On Fight (Saturn, Arcade)

    Mario's Picross. I haven't played it in years, so the puzzles were fresh again. Yay!
    I would have tried Zoda's Revenge, but Sunday's my birthday and I'm not marathoning a game like that.

    That's a fun one. I have a nice handful of picross games, and in the right mood, they're just a fun way to spend an afternoon.

    Happy Birthday Sunday! I hope you have a great time and do stuff that makes you very happy with people you love!

    Heavy Barrel - NES

    The graphics look like an early NES game and the semi-automatic scrolling takes a bit of getting used to, but it all works pretty well. I found myself wishing the shot and grenade buttons were swapped even up to the end, couldn't get used to it for some reason. I'm going to check out the arcade version of this one the next time I feel like playing some arcade stuff.

    Are there any 16-bit games like this that you guys recommend? Final Zone II and Red Alert are the only two that come to mind.
