I want to try Pandora's box but the patch they have there is only for the full game.
I remember the last time you said this ridiculous statement you said you hadn't played Wonder Boy III. That's like saying the NES sucks without having played Super Mario Bros. 3. I know you liked Wonder Boy in Monster World on Genesis so you should try it if you haven't.Quote:

I'm going to ebay now. :)
I'm a fan of 2D Platformers and Violinist of Hamlin is deeper than most, plus I'm big on soundtracks and the Classical vibe in the game rocks.Quote:
I've tried playing this a bunch of times, and nothing about it seemed as extrodinary as you make it out to be. I couldn't see what made it so special.
Super Burnout is a riot with the unlimited turbo cheat. You get going so unbelievably fast it's just insane.Quote:

Power Drive Rally is also a fun top-down Jaguar racer.
This game had a kickin soundtrack and was a great 2-Player shooter. Unfortunately, I could never find someone good enough to play it with and they always ended up dying on me before the end of the first level.Quote:

RISE OF THE DRAGON
Dynamix - Sega CD, Amiga, DOS
Not a bad point-and-click adventure game. Loved pissing off the guys at the bar and getting kicked out/killed repeatedly. Good times.

TOMBS AND TREASURE
Infocom/Falcom -NES
Another fun point-and-clicker. I really don't have the patience for these much anymore, but I couldn't get enough of them as a kid. I remember getting this soley for the fact that it had the "Infocom" name on it. I'll have to remember to hug my dusty C-64 in the closet tomorrow.

LEGACY OF THE WIZARD
Broderbund/Falcom - NES
Highly entertaining side-scrolling RPG. Kind of frustrating when you're stuck and don't know which family member to use to proceed, and how the enemies tend to respawn and fly right at you when you're down to your last life-bar, but my Dad bought this for my birthday and I had to play it for a month instead of something else. Sometimes you just play the cards that you are dealt, and then get the soundtrack stuck in your head for all eternity. Not sure if that makes any sense or not...

A few others..
Cosmic Ark
Atari 2600
Great two-screen action game where you have to rescue aliens to earn fuel to power your ship's guns.

http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/a...chmentid=15927
Mountain King
Atari 2600 and others
Unique treasure hunt with innovative "lighting" effects for the time.
http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/a...chmentid=15928
Lunar Pool
NES
I realize most pool games just aren't much fun but I spent endless hours playing this one. The level design is just great.
http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/a...chmentid=15929
http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/a...chmentid=15930
Ancient Art of War
IBM-Compatible ;)
Brilliant computer strategy game with endless replay since you can build your own levels.
Action packed battle scenes make it feel somewhat like an early Dragon Force.

http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/a...chmentid=15931
http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/a...chmentid=15932
It has interesting play mechanics but the level design is mostly dull as are the enemies. Still worth a play though. I'd usually put Flute in he UFO suit and ride her through a level, or carry her around in the bomb suit. I've mentioned it before, but I think the other platformer Daft made for the SNES is better.
