Finally!

Thanks SM. You really have no idea how much I am anticipating these!

[satoshi_matrix]

I'm glad. These take so long to produce because of the format I've committed myself to. I have to play all the games, take screenshots, enlarge the screenshots, then look up the plot lines of each game, write an explication on why I chose the game for the list, then research a bit of trivia for each, post related links, a youtube video, and probably other things I'm forgetting. this one took longer because of the sheer difficulty of a number of my picks.

Take as much time as you need. This is quality work. You hit it on the head with the difficulty ratings lol. They certainly don't make games like that anymore everything is watered down and call-of-dutyized.

Yeah, only some Virtual Console ect. games have some challenge.
Games like Mega Man 9.

Kids nowadays don't like challenge.
My nephew (7 years) tried Super Mario Bros. You know the first real one on NES.
Quit after dying twice, SAID IT WAS TOO HARD and didn't want to think.

No pressure, SM, but do you have any idea when we might see the next installment? I feel like the wait would be easier if I had a rough idea of when to expect it.  

[satoshi_matrix]

Monday-ish.

[satoshi_matrix]

Alright guys. After a delay I tried to avoid, I've got the next part finally finished. Here's part 5, #59-50 I hope you enjoy!

Be sure to leave your comments. I love hearing from you guys.

Missed a few so I just went through them to catch up. One thing I noticed was your price range for Panic Restaurant. You have it quoted at $25 - 40 when really it should be more like $125 - 140! Shes a rare one. Good work tho!

[satoshi_matrix]

Wow, has it shot up recently? When I bought mine it was $40. I'll have to change that I guess. the repro using the Japanese protagonist just got even more appealing!

When I bought mine it was $40.

I was lucky enough to find myself a complete copy for $5 at a hock shop a couple years ago!

[Pikmin Overlord]

I picked up The Krion Conquest the other day. You certainly wouldn't be able to tell how awesome the game is by its label art.

[satoshi_matrix]

Yeah that's true. I think I'm going to post a follow up when all is said and done just showcasing what each cartridge looks like for anyone looking out for them.

[Pikmin Overlord]

That would be excellent. I am slowly adding games to my NES library, of which I already have the majority of the popular ones. Things like The Krion Conquest are gems that I would have never knew about before, and others like Air Fortress and Xexyz I was aware of but on the fence about, but your write-ups convinced me. (It also didn't hurt that my local game shop was selling each one for $4.)

I am still wavering on Boulder Dash. It looks like a fun game, and I have the opportunity to pick it up for $7. Anything else you could tell me about the game that might convince me?

Aside from that, I still plan on picking up Snake, Rattle 'n' Roll, Batman: The Video Game, Bucky O'Hare, and others such as Burgertime, Battletoads, Contra, and Rambo (of all the possible games!). I will also continue to hold on to hope of encountering some of the rarer games.

That being said, BadChad, I am extremely jealous.
