Yesterday I managed to complete Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman Zero (Super Famicom) and while it wasn't really difficult, it did have a Mega Man-esque feel and I really enjoyed it.

Now I'm back to playing Super Mario World (Super Famicom) and trying to re-complete it for the first time since I was a kid.

Which system?

I wonder why they called it "Bust A Move" in the US…

Inspired by the Vectrex overlays, I've been playing a lot of **Scramble. ** I've always loved the feel of Vectrex games, and this side scroller may seem basic, but gets hard rather quickly!

I've been failing at Shatterhand on NES all week... That, and I'm on my 10,234th round of Tetris with the wife.

I'm not sure if this counts but the last 2 weeks I've been working on Cally's Caves 3 using Moonight/Steam (from my Desktop PC to my Raspberry Pi on the living room TV). I finally 100% it over the weekend. It is a Metroidvania platformer that also brings back memories of playing Goonies II on the NES (only way better). You can also find a few little hints of Zelda in it as well.

I believe Cally's Caves 3 was originally released on Android devices (Cally's Caves part 1 and 2 I know are on Android) but it had been remastered and updated for a PC/Steam release. I was pleasantly surprised by its superb and fluid handling of your character. You can level up all your weapons and with a New Game + mode you can unlock higher weapon tiers and there's a second ending. After you beat it you can play 3 more free DLCs (Servival, Bera's Quest and Melvin's Zone). It also has a great and catchy soundtrack. I find myself humming some of the songs from time to time.

That's high praise. I might have to check that out.

Myself, I've been playing a lot of 'Famicom Wars' this week. I have a casual objective of moving onto 'Military Madness' from there on the TurboGrafx-16 and finally onto the two 'Advance Wars' games for the Nintendo DS. It really is true what they say; War is hell... and so darn cute.
