Best game of all time?

An old-school gem that more people need to play
When I ask a lot of people (who actually owned NESs) if they've played "Kid Icarus," I always get answers like "no," or "What?" That's really sad, because this is really an amazing and challenging game that needs to be ... Read Full Review
