Also, great reviews. I find them immensely entertaining.
Thanks, another batch should come tonight. I'm actually still posting reviews for games I beat in March and April - I have a backlog of 29 or so still to write and post
And yeah, that was definitely a rough patch on the collection. As mentioned before, I divided the collection into 9 waves of games to beat to ensure some diversity. Wave 4 was definitely the weakest!

Nothing wrong with that. I thought it was boring, not bad.

Nice review. I really enjoyed that game, I think it's far better than Secret of Mana. And swapping weapons for weaknesses later on is tedious, but it beats spending 8 minutes every boss fight in SoM opening the spell menu and casting over and over.

I played this one last year and quite enjoyed it. It's a good Ninja Gaiden title for those days where you can't quite put up with some of the bullshit of the NES games

That's a damn lie and you know it.
It's the honest truth
As I said, I thought they both sucked, but one sucked for 30 minutes and one sucked for 3 hours. Choose your poison

I actually do want to check out gain ground, I generally hear good things about it but all of your criticisms make sense, its been on my bucket list forever.
Also, is kid chameleon only 3 hours? When I played through it the game felt like it took me 457 hours or so to beat. I rarely make absolute best or worst statements regarding my opinion of video games because it changes so often, but if you put a gun to my head and asked me to name my least favorite game of all time I feel reasonably confident I would say kid chameleon.
If they had been longer games I wouldn't have persevered, but being that they're so bitesize, and that I have a mission to clear all 51 games on the collection, I did my best. Luckily, because I spaced out series over the collection and put sequels after their earlier entires, the remaining games I have on the collection are generally above average. There shouldn't be too much as bad as the ones I just posted reviews for now.
And yeah, Kid Chameleon is also now a contender for one of my least favourites of all time.

One of the most poorly designed games? Ridiculous comment.
I'm sure there are plenty of worse games out there than Kid Chameleon, but I didn't make myself sit through those so I have less opinions about them
