    Loved it as a kid, and the music and graphics are beautiful, but I find the gameplay too tedious today.

    Ubisoft said that they kept making it because people kept buying it. I mean, it's pretty easy to keep the game engine and just add some new songs every year.

    Since Stack-Up is a ROB game, I can't imagine they'd make too many more after they stopped production on the Deluxe Sets and ROB himself. Heck, since they're all Famicom boards/adapters, I imagine they just did the one run at launch and called it good.

    Yeah, there was a short period between the switch to three screws and the switch to security screws, and a few 87 (and 88?) titles have three slotted screws. I don't recall any SMB/DH carts with Famicom boards, though. I don't think there was a fami combo cart of those titles.

    None of those were on the NES.

    Show me where those fan translations of Final Fantasy II and III were authorized, let alone made by Squaresoft.

    What about the other six? Your lists are VERY arbitrary.
  8. Tulpa
    Yeah, the third one is just a slot screw. A flathead screwdriver will open it. Glob tops were just a way to save some money on mass production, and since SMB/DH was probably the most common NES game, it made sense to use it for that one at some point. Fakes/pirates also used glob tops for the same reason, cheaper to make if you make enough of them.

    I agree. No Crisis Force = list invalid.

    Or in an old flashlight.

    I think that's Xevious.

    I still like an Atari 2600 original heavy sixxer in good condition.

    Alcohol (91%) for most. If it has a lot of crud after the first alcohol swab, I break out the Weiman. That usually gets everything. Then another alcohol swab and reassemble.

    Game Glitches

    I don't know where the photograph I took is, but in Ninja Gaiden, I was able to get six leaping dog bosses to appear, though not at the same time. I started with two, killed one, two more appeared, killed one more, two more appeared, and had a heck of a time dealing with four.

    Yes, you also have to hold a direction on the d-pad (any direction, IIRC, though it may be a specific one like right) and press start before it will continue.

    They were available back in the day and plenty of kids had one. Unless you are doing a contest that forbids them, I don't see any harm. Some games don't work right with a turbo, though.
  17. Tulpa
    Is it cheating? By definition, yes. Does it matter? If it's a competition that excludes them, yes. Otherwise, it's a video game. Play them how you want. It's up to you to determine if it matters.
  18. Tulpa
    Means there is a significant difference between the Famicom and NES versions.

    A symbol of hope, of dreams, of all that is right in the universe. Or the sprite from a pretty good shooter.

    I can't get a santa hat to fit on my Gun-Nac ship. Despite the commercial hype for Christmas starting around Arbor Day or whatever, I think most North American denizens want to keep it all in December.

    I kind of like the Famicom Airwolf. It's like Silk Worm but without the jeep.

    Not right at the end, but both Wai Wai Worlds have a shooter stage before the final stage. Xexyz is one that has a shooter stage when you face the boss, but that's how you fight every boss.

    It's missing Mig 29 Soviet Fighter, but otherwise a pretty good list. I used it to snag some Famicom shooters.

    By tradition, you're supposed to put the tree up on Christmas Eve, and leave it up until Epiphany (January 6th.) And there's a shitload of other traditions associated with it. But that fell by the wayside and it now feels like everyone's going through the motions and doing what's convenient.
