  Recent Findings 3

  It's been awhile since I've been on GS but I was busy with 3 projects at school and various other things so I didn't have as much time to write reviews for games or play them in general. And for the most part, All the games I review, I wait til I beat them all completely like 90% of the time with the few exceptions like Zombies Ate My Neighbors due to it's level format. Anyways, these are the new games I got.

  SNES:

  Batman Returns - a really underrated beat 'em up

  NES

  Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse - I finally got a working copy
  Dragon Warrior - the best RPG series on the NES

  Genesis:

  Aladdin - it's awesome for a kid movie
  Contra Hard Corps - debateably my favorite Contra
  
  N64:

  Duke Nukem 64 - another great FPS for the N64

  Like I said, I've been very busy with other crap so not a lot of new games, but I finally have no more projects and school's almost over so look forward to Reviews of Contra Hard Corps, Aladdin on both Genesis and SNES, and my feature review of Earthbound!

  My SNES Collection

  So it's been almost a year since I got my SNES (about 11 months), and My collection went from a sad collection of 3 to a satisfying number of 46. For the record, I could have well over 100 games if I really want to, but due to my very, very, very, low income and thirst for rarer or more expensive games, 46 is a nice number for me. My goal is to have 100 games for my SNES by the end of the year and with all the games that are a lot of money and all the games that I wanted, this task shall be easy as this store I go to sells a lot of SNES games for like $3 - $9 dollars for games that aren't like Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid. And if I have about $20 a week to spend on games, I can buy from 2 - 6 games a week. I hope to pick up a lot of cheap games so I can find underrated or hidden gems. But without rambling on I present you my collection with a quick blurb on my thoughts of the game.

  Actraiser - really fun unique game that combines side scrolling action with nice music and a simulating part
  Battletoads/Double Dragon - 2 of the best beat em ups in one game nothing else to say
  Battletoads in Battlemaniacs - not as good as Battletoads/Double Dragon or the original, but still fun
  Breath of Fire - awesome turn based RPG
  Castlevania IV - my favorite in the Castlevania series, fun as hell and challenging
  Chrono Trigger - my favorite RPG ever, and the best on the SNES, and one of the best SNES games, need I say more?
  Contra III: The Alien Wars- awesome shooter and multiplayer Contra at its best
  Disney's Aladdin - really fun platformer
  Donkey Kong Country - this or Mario RPG are best SNES graphics, game is fun as hell and addicting
  Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest - everything like its predecessor only better in every aspect
  Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble - not as good as 2 but just as good as 1
  Doom - I like this game, but nowhere as good as the epic PC version
  EarthBound - quite possibly the weirdest and most unique game/RPG, but fun as hell
  Earthworm Jim - fun and humorous game and action packed
  Final Fantasy II - it's Final Fantasy
  Final Fantasy III - my favorite Final Fantasy and 2nd favorite SNES RPG and BTW I successfully fixed my copy's battery
  Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - not as good as I - III but it's still really fun
  Final Fight - really fun beat em up nothing more to say
  F-Zero - great example of SNES mode 7 graphics, oh and it's pretty fun too I guess
  Gradius III - another one of Konami's greats, fun shmup
  Killer Instinct - very unique and fun fighter with an awesome combo system
  Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - I'm a huge Zelda fan and A Link to the Past is just perfect, best SNES game
  Mortal Kombat II - so much of my childhood was spent on this, I think you can tell I like this game
  Robotrek - haven't played it much, but it's fun from what I've played
  Secret of Mana - best action RPG EVER, can make an RPG hater a fan
  Secret of Evermore - most of the great things of Secret of Mana are carried over in this game but falls short of it
  Shadowrun - really fun and unique actionRPG
  Sim City - it's Sim City
  Sparkster - really fun platformer; you're an opposum with a sword and rocket pack, it's awesome
  Spawn - a fun side scrolling beat em up
  Starfox - revolutionary and fun but I much rather would play Starfox 64
  Super Adventure Island - fun platformer
  Super Double Dragon - fun beat em up
  Super Mario Kart - started the awesome series
  Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars - best SNES graphics (they're 3D!), and awesome gameplay
  Super Mario World - no comment
  Super Metroid - best Metroid game, 2nd best SNES game, and damn is it EPIC
  Super Punch Out - not as good/fun as Mike Tyson's Punch Out for NES, but still fun
  Super Smash TV - one of my favorite SNES games, fun as hell, and challenging
  Super Turrican - really challenging shooter but damn is it fun
  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time - best beat em up ever
  Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 - my favorite Mortal Kombat game ever
  U.N. Squadron - really fun shmup and I love the fact that you have a life bar
  Wolfenstein 3D - really fun FPS and I can easily look pass the censorship of the PC version to enjoy this great
  Y's III Wanders from Y's - fun action RPG platformer that I haven't played much of unfortunately
  Zombies Ate My Neighbors - a really funny and uniqueshooter that's a dedication to horror movie fans like myself
  
  In addition to my SNES collection I have a Game Genie. Overall, I must say my collection is pretty solid, and I doubt you can find any bad games in it. Sure you might have your opinion on some games being overrated or not that good, but overall my collection I think is solid. I have great games in every category: Platformers (Mario, Aladdin, DKC trilogy), RPGs (Chrono Trigger, FF II and III, Super Mario RPG, EarthBound, Secret of Mana), Shooters (Contra III, Smash TV, U.N. Squadron, Zombies Ate My Neighbors), Simulators (Actraiser, SimCity), Beat Em Ups (Final Fight, TMNT IV, Battletoads/Double Dragon), Action/Adventure (Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania IV), Fighting (MK II and UMK 3, KI, Super Punch Out), Racing (F-Zero, Super Mario Kart), FPS (Doom, Wolfenstein 3D). So now that I have all the games that I really want, like I said I'm gunna just start collecting a bunch of cheap games and trying to find hidden gems that I can review and let people know about so they can enjoy other fun games that are unknown and cheap. Yes I know I'm missingessentials like Yoshi's Island and Mega Man X. I hope to see your comments on your thoughts on my list and I will check in with new games I got in my 'recent findings' "skit". And again, leave comments on your thoughts, or underrated games you like that you think I should check out.
