Nice! So does that mean you played the game in its original version without the Rewind features? Do you think you'll ever play through the later entries?

36. Mario Tennis [GBC] - finished May 25th, 2025
Ranking a game like Mario Tennis for gameboy color is complex. It cant be directly ranked against say the last of us. It isn't a Louis Armstrong trumpet on a dark rainy sea scape near a new orleans villa. But the way I believe a game should be ranked is against its contemporaries. Against other sports game with rpg elements. And in that arena? It is pretty damn untouchable.
WHAT A GOOD GAME
Mario Tennis is an rpg. It plays like a top down pokemon game. Except more linear and instead of leveling up your pokemon. You level up your tennis player. You can opt to run solo or do duos with a partner. As you complete matches you advance up the ranks like real life.

The games actually really long as well. Each match is best of 5 sets. With 6 game wins to win a set. So you gotta win upwards of 20 games to even finish an individual match. However the game never feels repetitive. It has an addictive like candy quality.
The first time I ever played this game I knew I had to own it physical. Its such an excellent gameboy color game.
The visuals and sprites pop. The soundtrack is enormous and varied. And for a pocket sized game from the 90s. The game is really really perfect. Movements are pinpoint even on digital. Resemble a ninja with each raquet swing. The game is a staple that is highly good to try. It has a good difficulty curve. And lots of power ups to play with.
Mario Tennis is the best tennis game ive ever played so far
Rating - 97.5/100

Yes I played the original version I don't really know the differences between the two. xD I would love to try out the other games if they weren't so expensive :(

37. Lunar: Silver Star Story
The first game in the Lunar Remastered collection has been completed. I'm still bitter about a random, silly, highly missable change that the developers implemented AT THE VERY START of the game that caused me to miss two -TWO!!!- bromides, but since I was playing on Switch/a non-trophy console, I'll let it slide. I guess that's what I get for following the old Working Designs guide from back in the day. Speaking of, a good chunk of that translation was kept in this version. The jokes rarely landed (one of the enemies was called Nipple Yanker) but the serious moments still held up. Really, it was the characters and their interactions that made me fall in love with them all over again. Even Alex, one of the more dull MCs, seemed to have more to say this go-around. Mia, Jessica, Kyle, Nash and Nall all kept the dialogue flowing naturally. Two very important changes that really made this a smooth playthrough were better item management and the ability to speed up battles. Thanks to that second feature, training for the final battles was much more streamlined. And as a result, a lot more fun. So yeah - good times with this one. It'll be a while before I do the new version of Lunar 2 since I finished it a few years ago on the PlayStation.

I'm still marching forward towards 100 games beat by the end of the year. With summer around the corner, I have several games in mind that I really want to try and play before the fall. Some of these games are more summery in nature (I guess), but overall I just want to make sure I play and beat the following games before the beginning of September. Here is my current list of summer time games I plan on beating.
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Donkey Kong 64
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Halo 2
I definitely plan on playing more than just those four games, but those are the ones that if nothing else, I definitely want to make sure I've beat them before summer's end.
