Halloween 1985 is a fun concept and really feels like a game you migh've played in 1985.  I just wished they eased you into it better.

Even though I was too old to play the Humgonous games (Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam, Spy Fox, etc), I really enjoyed reviewing them and watching my little brothers play them and joining the Humongous staff for lunch every year at E3.  When they made some Blues Clues games, there was talks about having their characters be in cartoons on Nick Jr.  That would've been so cool!

I'm glad you got the Rune Factory picross game!

Ys 8 is really good.  Dana is a neat character.  One of my brothers called the game "Jurassic Park: The JRPG."

I totally agree with that statement about Astro Boy.

I'm glad it's here, but like I said, sometimes easy modes feel like cop-outs for good and balanced gameplay.

I love the GBA.  My favorite handheld.

Mario Kart Super Circuit is one of my favorite Mario Kart games because it plays a lot like the SNES one.

Both Metroid games are good, but Zero Mission is the best.

The first WarioWare game was my GOTY when it was released.

The GBA Klonoa games are good, but not near as good as the PS1 and PS2 ones.

All the Kirby games are good.  Man I can't wait for Kirby Air Riders!

I always wanted Tales of Phantasia when it first came on the Super Famicom.  I'm glad it came to the GBA, but it's not really a very good port.

I never beat Sword of Mana.  Even though it's based on the first game, it's still vastly different.  They made another one on the PSP called Adventures of Mana that was more faithful.

I've never gotten into Castlevania.  Only one I like is Kid Dracula.

I wouldn't have been able to get past area 2 if it weren't for Fairy Mode!

Pnickies was like a proto-version of Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, which is in my top three favorite puzzle games of all time.

I think Willy Beamish would've made a great cartoon.  The game is a point and click adventure where you must live by the rules of a kid.  Your goal is to spend the summer with your friends and go to a video game competition, but you also have to stay out of trouble and not stay out too late at night.  It's hard when you have to deal with a vampire babysitter and neurotic yuppie parents who will send you to military school at the drop of a hat if you get into too much trouble!  Luckily you have help from the ghost of your grandfather who gives you advice in the attic!  People who worked on cartoons like The Little Mermaid and The Simpsons helped work on this game.

OK but like I said, if you do pick up Pac-Man World 2 RePac, just know that it's EXTREMELY HARD!

I got a Dreamcast for Christmas in 1999 and reviewed a lot of games for it.  For such a short lifespan, it was packed with lots of great games.  Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5, Samba de Amigo, and Marvel vs.Capcom 2 were some of my favorites. I have a lot of great memories playing that system.
