I see, earlier in this page, your Metroids and Zeldas, and I raise a Ninja Gaiden. Oy, this game is one tough son-of-a-bitch!!

graphics, music, cutscenes, this game has it all

I've recently managed to get as far as, I think, stage 3-2. Yes Frink, emulation FTW, but real consoles kick ass too. I regret never having an actual nintendo console. The only things I have, are an Atari 2600 (which kicks ass, but I've only got 2 cartridges, Pole Position and Defender!), and a cheap Nes-clone bought in 1996, one of those things that has 17 built-in pirated games, and says "500.000 games" on the box! It sort of looks like an Snes, even the controller, but it really is a Nes-clone. This thing is fun, too, but I've got to rewire the controller, since I busted it up bad. Or I think I'll just try to find a regular Nes controller, since it should work, and I think they should be pretty cheap on Ebay these days...

Lately a good friend of mine lent me his Snes because he wanted me to see what was wrong with it, since it didn't seem to work. I cleaned the contacts inside the controller, tuned to the right channel, and played some of his cartridges. Man, the Snes is some fun!!!!

Other than that I've got literally Gigabytes of emulators and games, you name it, C64, Amiga, Nes, Snes, N64, DS, Ps1...

oh and some Dos games too. It took me 10 years to beat Prince of Persia! (not literally, 10 years passed since the first time I played it and the time I sat down and beat it, I think it was, like, a couple of years ago)
