I am dying to try the eggs on rice now…

How long do we wait for me to randomly choose???

Saved by the bell!

I’m in!

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is done. Firstly I do have to say I did enter one cheat at the end because I grew overly frustrated with throwing myself at that last mission. This game was my introduction to GTA back in the day but with SA coming out so quickly thereafter, it’s allure was passed by. I played a couple years ago, mid pandemic and my save file crashed at the end and I haven’t had the heart to pick it back up. I’m glad to have this skeleton out of my closet and I won’t return back, e v e r. Pros: City was easy to navigate and fun, the 80’s styling and music was great. The side missions were very varied and there was a challenge present. Cons: Car controls feel like your sliding on ice at all times, bike controls are so overly touchy. Water = deaths most times and the boat controls are atrocious. Map is vague and the cops come after you so aggressively, it felt impossible to try and evade. Im glad to have played it but I won’t come back. San Andreas is a top 5 game for me and it just took everything VC did and made it better. I recognize where VC was significant but I just didn’t like it that much. 7/10

This one is on my list yet, I liked the first one a lot and this one just gets dunked on all the time.

I love Awakening, I feel the different story line and the Mario enemies made it unique. It was a fun little romp that wasn’t just cookie cutter Zelda, not that I don’t like cookie cutter Zelda. I am very interested to play the Oracle games, the games are largely unspoiled to me and they seem really interesting in concept.

One of my all time favorites. Master quest is on my backlog!

Oh and the stupid flame boss, screw that guy!

Good game, I didn’t beat this until I was an adult but I always liked it as a kid. The ending was silly and I’d have taken virtually anything else but it’s quirky and charming. The Wart battle (to me) was a lot tougher than the rest of the game

I just finished this one this week and while I understand the allure, I don’t think I will ever return.

Fantastic!

I finished Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past last night. My feels are kind of weird about this one. I was born in ‘92 and despite my age I played almost exclusively NES and N64 in my early days. Then moved on from system to system. The only SNES exposure I had was Donkey Kong Country, Mario World and Mickey Mania. What makes me feeling even more weird is I didn’t played my first LoZ game until I was 21 and finished Ocarina of Time. So while I can see the greatness that is OOT I feel that LttP lacks. Pros: colorful, fun graphics. Interesting story with the maidens. Diverse dungeons, much more diverse than expected. The use of the mirror to switch between light and dark was very cool in my eyes. Great final battle, that was a tough one and it felt very fair and well rounded. Also, being able to just easily access the fight was nice. Cons: (Full disclosure: I used a walkthrough for a lot of overworks traverse.) the overworld felt tough to navigate at times and excessive until you get them flute. The dark palace was (in my opinion) much tougher than any dungeon. The overall challenge just seemed uneven. Granted I got good power ups towards the end they felt too strong almost. All in all, the game was good but for a Zelda title it was very middle of the road. I have completed all but two Zelda console games (Zelda II and Majora's Mask) and I expect this one to rank along the lower portion. Is it that I spoiled myself with playing so many 3D Zelda games or did I just find this one underwhelming? I had a good time but I would he hard pressed to revisit it I feel. 6/10, I just cannot see the hype. I will either get back on Kingdom Hearts or start up Vice City. I am pleased to have another Zelda title from my list.

I hit a snag with Link to the Past but I made it past. I’m half way through Turtle Rock and I reckon it will be done within a week.

Yet again, I took down another game on my backlog that I didn’t list. Next year I am going to make my log much larger and have it more encompassing as I realize I only chose games that were higher priority (or so I’d thought). Anyways, Donkey Kong Country 3 is done! I played the first one a lot as a kid and have a lot of nostalgia attached. I was very impressed with the game, I’d picked it up and set it down a couple times over the years but never stuck with it. This game was very good. The graphics were fantastic (especially the underwater ones) and they introduced new and fun level mechanics. Pros: Great graphics, level variety, more animal buddy usage, fair challenge Cons: controls were tough to adjust to at first, navigating the overworld got boring quick and the final boss (while fun) was far too easy. I am now back on playing Link to the Past (which is much tougher than expected) and Kingdom Hearts. I’m at the second dark world palace for LttP and Halloweentown for KH.

As I’m facing the end of yet another game that was on my backlog but not on the list for this year, I realize that next year I need to make an all encompassing list despite what I think I may finish. This year I went light on the list and tried to make it so it could “complete” it but I find myself constantly jumping on other games that are on my back log.

RR2 is my favorite NES cover art but it pales in comparison to the first. DT2 is better than the first

Congrats!! What a ride it was. I’m currently playing number one myself for the Backlog Challenge.

I’ve recently discovered I could leave Monstro and go elsewhere playing KH… so I’m not happily back on the track!

Finished another game that was not initially on my backlog. New Super Mario Bros Deluxe, Switch. I thought this game was much better than I’d expected. I love that Nintendo has been bringing back that “old” Mario feel but this one felt even better. The heavy Super Mario World vibe was a nice touch. It wasn’t very challenging, which I don’t expect from a Mario game but there was a few levels that stuck me. All in all a good game but I doubt I’d ever return to it. I am STILL trying to pluck away at Kingdom Hearts. I’m stuck on the second fight within Monstro and I’m trying to grind hard. It’s not going great

I finally completed a 120 shrine run of Breath of the Wild. I’ve played the game a couple times before and gotten close but this time I finally went the full mile. This game is a top 5 for me and it was a lot of fun to do it like this. There was a few shrines (maybe 3-4) that really really stumped me but I had fun. Eventually I’ll return to this file and finish the side quests but for now.. I’ve had enough Zelda

Game works and looks very clean. Collector owned for most of its life I’m not sure how to price these, as the market has changed a lot. I’m easy to work with, just message me

Unfortunately I have to redact my inclusion. My new job makes it a huge pain to get to the post office in a timely manner.

Powerup is bad, I’ve had a few bad experiences.
