I haven't had much time to play recently. But since last time I posted, I finished River City Saga: Three Kingdoms. I got the sequel, "Next", but I'm saving it to play later.
I played and finished Earthworm Jim 2 on Nintendo Online SNES. This game has amazing style, graphics and silly funny stuff. But the game play is sometimes not great and it becomes pretty hard. I wouldn't had had the patience to finish it without the rewind and save states on Nintendo Online I think. The puppy stages are particularly hard and devastating when you miss a puppy.
I am also playing a little bit of Parodius Da! almost every day on my Famicom. I'm trying to finish a run without losing any lives and going through all the secret bonus stages.
Finally I also played some Tetris and Wario on the Virtual Boy. It's fun and the games are good, but I just find it hard to find a comfortable position with the Virtual Boy for longer than a few minutes at a time. No wonder it was hard to sell back then. Where's my strap!? I want the VB stuck to my face! 🤣
I played Earthworm Jim a little bit when I was a kid and liked the characters, but don't remember the gameplay much. I don't think I ever finished it.
Heh, Virtual Boy looks uncomfortable. Main question is, who thought it will be comfortable to use. 😀
