Yeah the Spider-Man cartoon movie is the best of the Spider-Man movies.  And I don't really like Spider-Man but I enjoyed this one.  Only problem I had is that I go see movies in 2-D, and most of the time they look fine in 2-D.  But the last two movies I saw didn't really do the transition from 3-D to 2-D effects very well.  Both this and the Grinch movie had a lot of blurry backgrounds that I could tell were meant to be seen in a 3-D glasses movie enviornment, even though these were clearly the 2-D versions I was watching.  And it's not just me that noticed this, too. The other people who went to see these movies agreed with me.

Wow you could rent 2600 games?  I don't think the local rental places around here rented anything except NES and SNES games.  Much later, when we got a Blockbuster Video, I started to see more games to rent, like for the GBA, PSOne, GameCube, etc.  But by then I wasn't renting games much anymore.

Yeah I think most of the disks my dad brought home with games for our Apple 2 were probably pirated.  But I was just a dumb kid and didn't think to question where they came from. I was just like, "Oh boy, more games!"

Yeah when I was a kid, I was interested in Greek Mythology, too.  So I wanted to try Kid Icarus on the NES.  And I hated it.  Years later I took a Greek Mythology class in college and now I don't like Greek Mythology either!

Love those tough ladies. :)

Best way to play Metal Slug games is on a home collection where you can have unlimited continues.

Athena sounds like my kind of woman, huh?  Ha ha!  Why do you say that? :)

Congrats on beating that DQ game!  I think the only DQ game that held my interest all the way through was Rocket Slime.

I wanted to get Final Fantasy Explorers, but never got around to it.  Can't play 'em all, you know?  I hear it's like the Final Fantasy answer to Monster Hunter.

Thanks!  Yeah if you can ever get your hands on a NEO GEO Pocket Color, there are a lot of good games on that.  For a very short while, I liked the NEG GEO Pocket Color more than I did the Game Boy!

I'll probably wait until Netflix for Mortal Engines, but part of the premise reminds me of one of my top five favorite games of all time: Final Fantasy 6.  In that game, there is a castle in the middle of the desert.  It looks just like an ordinary castle, but at one point it turns into a giant machine that can dig through the sand and move to different areas.  That blew my mind when I first saw it in the game.  Man that game was good!

I've seen three movies so far this winter: The Grinch, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and the Spider Man cartoon.  And I also did Ralph Breaks VR.  I'll talk about them when I do my winter movie blog, which probably won't be until February when all the winter movies I want to see are out.

Yeah Prehistoric Isle alway stuck out in my mind for some reason.

Yeah I played tons of Ikari Warriors with friends as a kid, too.  But the NES version isn't very good.  

My Game of the Year blog will go up sometime in January.  My GOTY may be a bit of a surprise, though.  Not what you might expect.  Care to take a guess?
