I thought Festers Quest was alright, but I only played the PAL version and from what I understand it has some improvements.

NES
Nightmare on Elm Street, but it seems like public opinion on it is shifting. It's one of the most atmospheric games on the system imo, very spooky game.
Parodius, people don't like it because of all the slowdown; if you can look past it I think it's one of the most fun shmups on the NES.

Not really focusing on one particular console, there's only a few games I truly want right now (for Mega Drive, Xbox, NES). All of them are unfortunately pretty uncommon, at least here.

Ninja Gaiden III on NES, wanted this for over 6 years. I speedrun NG1 and love NG2 - definitely my two most played NES games.

Only game I paid a lot for is Castlevania The New Generation on Mega Drive, because it's my favorite game on the system as well as in the series. Played through it a lot since then to make my moneys worth.

It'd be awesome to be able to rate the games; it indicates that you actually play the games you collect.

My favorite games right now:
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water
Mario Kart 8
Super Smash Bros.

Which is really all the games I got besides Zombi U. Games I've played at friends' houses that I've liked are Splatoon and Super Mario Maker.

Favorite Game Released in 2015: Mortal Kombat X. I had been hyping for this game for so long, I even preordered it, and oh man was it worth it. I've played it for countless hours, and I invite some pals over to play like every weekend. It's just awesome

Favorite Game Played During 2015: Jet Set Radio. I finally picked this game up with the HD remaster on Steam. Despite its clunky controls and sometimes awkward camera, it's still great fun much like its sequel, which was the first game I ever played.

Least Favorite Game Released in 2015: Battlefield Hardline. The beta was pretty fun, but wow this game flopped hard. Hardly anyone plays it now, like more people play Battlefield 3 than Hardline! Like are you for real? Well, I got the game after the beta. It was active for a couple of weeks, but then it just died. Everyone realized it sucked balls, and moved back to Battlefield 4 or 3.

Least Favorite Game During 2015: RoboWarrior (NES). I've had it for a while, but me and some friends finally decided to beat it, and wow... It really is one of the most frustrating games I have ever played. It's like Bomberman on a time-limit with a level design that makes no sense, and a bunch of cryptic nonsense. We did beat it though, thankfully.

Favorite Gaming Moment in 2015: When I beat the Joker. I actually did it. No guide, no nothing, just trial and error. Me and my friend were at the Joker for like 3 hours before we finally beat him. Well at least we became masters on the level before the boss ^^

Proudest Gaming Accomplishment in 2015: Beat my previous Shadow Warriors (NES) PB, which is now at 13:48. Also beat Cave Story+ on Hard Mode and got the best ending, which is something only 0,6% of the Steam owners have done. Not sure which of these to pick, so..

BB Ball for the GBA, simply because there's practically nothing about it on the Internet.

It's like some sort of Pokémon clone. Sort of.

I've had it ever since I was a kid, and I still haven't beaten the first section yet. Really hard to play if you're not Japanese...

I think it's pointless to compare, because it all come downs to what kind of games you like to play, as clearly shown by your not-at-all-biased post.

"PC gamers claim that "all the best games come to PC."  This is completely false.  Taste aside, where are the critically-acclaimed, award-winning games like Mario or Zelda on the PC?"
Last I heard, Starcraft 2, World of Warcraft, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Unreal Tournament, XCOM and Might and Magic Heroes, are exactly those things.

They are two different entities, ffs.

PC is a piece of shit you go through so many loops to play a game and get it running, that comes outdated in a few years or breaks.

Master race? The platform is dying. It's only big in 3rd world countries with this DOTA crap.

My PC is from 2012, and can still play Battlefront at maxed-out settings. I don't have to go through any loops to play a game, I just download it and play. If you're on Linux or OS X, that's definitely true though.
And the personal computer is hardly dying. Sure, the casual market has moved more towards mobile devices, but really, in that regard, consoles are more dying than PC. People are even unsure if there'll be next generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony. You really just pulled that claim straight out of your behind, sir.

You've had your pc for 3 years? , enjoy it well it lasts. It'll crap out in a few years with blue screen, and error messages that might as well be written in chinese. Check it's life span it's not suppose to last long, I'm presuming your not tech savvy either. So as I said enjoy it while it lasts.

You're incredible. The only reason error messages pop up in today's computers is because you've done something wrong. With today's SSD's, the lifespan of a computer has gotten a lot longer.
And what do you mean "The lifespan is not supposed to be long"? My power supply has a 10-year warranty.

ffs.. ._.
