The random game game

[NES_Rules]

I got Donkey Kong for the Atari 2600. I've got 9 copies of this game, so I probably got a copy of it each time I bought an Atari and/or games. I believe the only time I played it was when I first got it to check out the classic. Definitely a fun game, but DKC is still my favorite Donkey Kong game.

Personal Finance for the VIC-20
Bought 6-8 months ago
Never played

Not a game per se but it's still a neat app and my only CIB VIC cartridge I have at the moment.

==========

Metal Gear Solid - PS1
Bought a year or two ago, not really sure.
Never played

I played this game 10 years or so when it was first released it, didn't care much for it. Always thought more highly of Syphon Filter at that time. Bought it mainly as a collector indulgence which at $5 was no big deal.

What don't you like about the Tales battle system?

First off im not much of a fan of real time battles in my RPGs, so I came in biased. Next thing I didnt like was that even though the game had real time battles they made you enter the battle on the overworld. If its real time just have enemies in the overworld you can fight without loading a battle. Makes it seems slow and weird to me.

When did you buy that game? approx. 2 years ago
Why did you buy that game? Came with a Virtual Boy lot

Any thoughts on that game? Tons of fun. Even though I suck at most shooters like that I love to play them. Was very interesting having the two layers to worry about during each level. I should put this one in again soon!!

That's too bad you feel that way about that subsection of action RPGs. Personally it's one of my favorite genres. I've always been a big fan of the Tales series. I never like the story, but the gameplay usually keeps me going.

Here's my games for the day.
Shadow Man - Dreamcast. I picked this up in 2002, when I worked at ShopKo, and there was a lot of new Dreamcast games at $10 one step away from being on clearance. I last played it a few weeks after picking it up. It's an OK game, pretty unique setting and world, but the gameplay was kind of lacking.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game : NES. I just picked this up today, that's kind of nifty. Have not played this copy yet, but I've played this game many times. The NES port of the arcade game is pretty strong, it's unfortunately only two players, but still fun. Last played it a few months ago on the NES for some reason.

Triple Action for the Intellivision

Bought 5 years ago when I had picked up a lot off eBay of 20 or so games + system.

It's one of the first games I remember ever playing and I was pleasantly surprised when I started it up after so many years because I had forgotten the title so I didn't know what it was until the massive wave of nostalgia hit me. 

Technically the last time I played it was last year. But I have the Intellivision Lives! compilation on the Xbox/X360 where the three games are broken up into individual entries and I play that regularly.

Fun simple games that were obviously copied from Atari titles, but better looking and better sounding. I wouldn't say this is a particularly good INTV compared to others but it holds a special place for me and for some of these older games that's what gets them into the cartridge slots a lot of the time.

When was the last time you played it? a few months ago
Any thoughts on that game? Tons of fun. Like a more full feeling Zelda. My only complaint is that you dont get a whole lot of direction as to where to go, so I often wandered around aimlessly when it was something very simple I was missing.

What game did you get (and what system)? Touch Detective 2 1/2 (DS)
When did you buy that game? Last X-mas

I got a piece of hardware this time, the Titan Controller for PS2. I got this when I bought my used PS2 from Gamestop a while back. I used this as my main controller for quite some time until I found a DualShock to replace it.

The second game was Zany Golf for the Genesis. I have no idea where or when I got this one. I don't think I've ever played and if I did it was only for a few minutes. So I've got no opinions on this one.

Nintendo DS : Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Picked it up shortly after it came out, due to all of the hype. I really was enjoying it, but my interest sort of fizzled out, the pacing is a little too slow. Last played it probably 6 months ago or so.

PS2 : Gitaroo Man
Picked it up in 2003, used for like $10. I had been eying it for a while, but the box art was too busy and the game looked too anime for me. I eventually caved in, and it is one of the greatest games in the PS2's library, I ended up playing it countless hours since then. I most recently played it probably a year ago.
