What should I play?
« on: April 03, 2012, 08:39:01 pm »
So I'm sure all of us have been there. You have tons of games staring you in the face and you have an overwhelming feeling of blah.

I want to dedicate this thread to helping solve that problem!

Here are the rules:

1) Post if you need some help deciding.
2) Post any genre you really don't want to play that's in your collection (RPG, for example)
3) Specify any console you'd like to play a game on if you know, or if you want to avoid hooking anything up at the time.
4) Other members will look through your collection and pick a game for you to play! (Let's keep it at a 3 game max for each player request at a time, one suggestion per user at a time).
5) The player must Play one of the 3 games suggested for a minimum of one hour (the ideal situation would be for you to play it until you beat it).
6) Report back your thoughts on the game!

I'll start us out.

I would like a non-RPG SNES game to play tonight. Help!

Well I went with DKC tonight. It took me just over 2 hours to beat but I sat the controller down for about 15 minutes. Not sure if the timer keeps counting while the game is paused. Also, I didn't save. I did it without running out of lives :)

If you haven't played it then you should. The game is challenging and is one of the best looking games on the SNES. This game has water levels that I actually enjoy because they look so nice. Also, the music is excellent.

Here's the proof (sorry...forgot the game didn't have a "The End" screen):

Yeah, he took me 3 tries because I forgot his stupid jumping patterns after you knock him down once.

The top 3 most frustrating levels for me are (and have always been):

3: Ice Age Alley
2: Elevator Antics
1: Platform Perils

I remember a lot of people having serious problems with some of the barrel levels and Mine Cart Madness. I always had to beat them for my friends. I love them.

Ok I'll give this a go. Since I have a pretty large Game Boy collection, I'll go with that.

Give me a Game Boy game that I should play! No genre restrictions!

I'll play that game tomorrow night after work for the allotted hour and see how far I get.  8)

In the spirit of all the Kid Icarus love, how about Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters?

I'd go for Balloon Kid. I might be wearing my retro goggles but i remember that game being super fun and unique
