I kid, I kid...

That said, I have pretty much any and every compilation disc that's been released in the past few generations...but they generally aren't any better than MESS/MAME and the like. They might be "official" emulation, but they are still just emulation. :twisted:

I do appreciate those with cool extras, though.

I know (and I should have expected a communications professor to call me out when I used the term "emulation" to mean "unauthorized emulation" :lol: ).

So I finished a game that eluded my even getting close to finishing back in the day, Trojan on NES. There were two reasons I never finished, of course. The first is that it seems pretty tough, and secondly it just isn't very good.

Well, I went through the game with save states, managed to beat it and get a feel for things. Then I looked up a longplay to see what I could improve... and not a whole lot, except for finding those power up icons, which is a huge deal! The first "P" icon doubles your attack power, and a second, if you can survive until you get it, triples it. Pretty insane. I figured out most of the patterns, and the hardest section for me is still stage 3, in that blasted rolling-bomb / goon hallway.

Still, on a third run through, I managed to sneak through without losing a life. I'd say this one has been put to bed. Just don't ask me to go play through Treasure Master next. Ugh.

I finished Shadows of Mordor and 100%-ed it and took me 25 hours and 35 minutes.

I've enjoyed ever minute of it.

Now I'll go through the DLC campaign.

Used to play this at my local pizza parlor... And then on my NES... And then on Capcom Classics... And I've always sucked at it. The controls are just so awkward.

1. Grandia (PlayStation)
2. Jungle Hunt (Xbox - Taito Legends)
3. Jungle Hunt (Atari 2600)
4. Jungle Hunt (Plug & Play - ColecoVision Flashback)
5. Donkey Kong (Atari 2600)
6. Donkey Kong (Intellivision)
7. Donkey Kong (ColecoVision)
8. Bubble Bobble (NES)
9. Side Arms: Hyper Dyne (PSP - Capcom Classics Collection Remixed)
10. 1941: Counter Attack (PSP - Capcom Classics Collection Remixed)
11. Ys: The Ark of Napishtim (PSP)
12. The Ninja Kids (Xbox - Taito Legends)
13. Neutopia (TurboGrafx-16)
14. Golden Axe Warrior (Xbox 360 - Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection)
15. Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2 (Dreamcast)
16. Growl (PlayStation 2 - Taito Legends 2)

Well this is an interesting beat 'em up!

You're some kind of wildlife ranger going after poachers on a quest to save animals. There are the standard punches and kicks, but also guns, whips, and grenades. When you throw a grenade your character ducks for cover, which is a nice touch. I chose the buff Indiana Jones lookalike.

Sometimes animals join in on the action, like when an elephant steamrolls a tank. Exquisite.

You beat up a ton of female news reporters for some reason. Yeah. At least that's what I think they are. They wear jackets and matching skirts and their microphones explode upon defeat.

Actually there are just buttloads of enemies period. Sometimes 10+ on a single screen. Most only take a couple of hits to take out and there's no slowdown.

The graphics are pretty swell, but this may be the brownest game in existence.

Overall, worth a playthrough. Nothing mindblowing, but enjoyable. Apparently this was ported to the Genesis as well.
