Yeah the reason why Super Mario Land feels a little weird is because it was made by a different team.

The music was pretty slick, though.  Hip Tanaka is neat.

Yeah I've been sick lately, too.  A couple of  weeks ago I had a nasty stomach bug, and last week I dealt with sinus problems and a sore throat.  When I feel sick, I don't like to work out, so I've been feeling a little puny lately.

I'm not good at ANY sport.  A lot of it has to do with the fact that I've been blind in my left eye snice birth and can't see as well.  But bad vision or not, I'm still a klutz.  The only physical activity I can do fairly decently is lift weights, so that's what I do!

Getting a six-pack of abs is hard.  I don't even have that.  I do have visible ab muscles, but not a sculpted brick wall or anything.  I'm not really super-buff or anything, but I am stronger than what I look.  I am a lot bigger than when I first got out of college and started working out, though.

Space Jam isn't my most favorite movie or anything, but it's not THAT bad.  One of my favorite silly childhood movies is The Muppet Christmas Carol.  --Cary

I played them a lot, but I never really got into the Double Dragon games.  I liked Final Fight a lot more.  It seemed to age better, I think.  I did like Double Dragon Neon, though, because they made it so silly and goofy with all the 80's spoofs.  Have you ever seen the live action Double Dragon movie?  It's so bad it's funny.

Yeah I hate writing a bad review, but sometimes I just have to do it.

There is a game called Escape Goat.  And it has a sequel.

I have a feeling that in a few years, Nintendo may buy out SEGA or they may merge or something.

Those DLC levels look pretty slick, though.  Too bad I don't have that game.

When Magical Drop was fairly new, I had a group of friends who were OBSESSED with this game.  They would even import the home versions on the consoles of the time, like the PSOne and Dreamcast.  It was a fun game, but I was more into Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo and Puzzle Bobble.  Those and just plain ol' Tetris are my top three favorite puzzle games.

For some reason, I was recently thinking about a puzzle game that's on Taito Legends 2 called Cleopatra Fortune.  I got the main theme stuck in my head.  If i wasn't lazy, I'd post a link here so it could get stuck in your head, too.

Yeah I read they had emulation problems.  But like I said in my review, you either solve those problems or just don't release it.  By the way, I'd like to encourage you to read my review.  I found my old Dallas Morning News article of the original Tomba 2 and posted a link to that just for fun.

I guess PixlBit's on MonkeyPaw's press list, too.  Are you reviewing Tomba 2?  I just slammed them in my review for releasing the Japanese version of the game instead of the English version.

I love BurgerTime!  As a kid, I would make my own chef hat and pepper shaker out of paper cutouts and play prettend BurgerTime.  Yeah this was back when kids used their imagination sometimes. :)

Did you know that in Japan, this game was originally called just "Hamburger?"  That's why the chef in the game has an H on his hat.

In Japan there's also a game called Super BurgerTime.  Look it up, it's really weird.

Yeah, Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Parlor isn't very good.  They also planned to make a third game called Peter Pepper's PizzaTime, but that never came out.

I reviewed BurgerTime World Tour.  It's OK, but really the best update is BurgerTime Deluxe on the Game Boy.  Just stay away from The Flinstones: BurgerTime in Bedrock.  It's a Game Boy Color reworked version of Deluxe, except it sucks.

If I wasn't so lazy, I'd put a YouTube link up to one of the old BurgerTime commercials.  The hot dog peeks through the drive thru window and says, WE'RE CLOSED NOW!

Man I could talk about BurgerTime all day.  It was one of the few arcade games to pull me away from Pac-Man as a kid in the 80's.  But I'll stop rambling now!  --Cary
