Ice cream! Ice cream! I’m aaalll out of ice cream!

SNES - Act Raiser - It’s quite literally a mix of RTS and 2d action platforming. You build and manage your villiage while protecting it from monsters. Highly recommend!

N64 - Kirby 64 - Kirby is a game series that lets you eat enemies and gain their power. This one lets you combine powers! You can make fun combos, like rock + fire to make yourself a volcano, or electricity + bombs to make yourself into fireworks. Really fun and easygoing game! Worth playing through at least once.

PS2 - Parappa the Rapper 2 - A fun and weird game, Parappa 2 is a rhythm game where you have to repeat the raps your opponent dishes out using the face and L&R buttons. The setting and story make this game more than worth it, as you’ll be saving the town against shrink rays, a mad hairstylist, and a noodle-hungry maniac. It’s another fairly short game, you can beat it in two sittings if you’re good. There’s also a fun vs multiplayer mode.

I disagree. I think games are definitely worth preserving, even if they aren’t that fun. Regardless, this game has historical significance and should at the very least be playable after it’s delisted.

When life gets you down, Wearing a frown, Don’t look away, look up!

Kind of mixed on this one for me. On one hand it’s a win against microtransactions, since a big name like Marvel isn’t enough for people to buy it, so much that it has to be delisted. I think that’s a huge win and I think it’s worth mentioning.

On the other, preservation is a thing and I’m wondering if this game could somehow still be played if it’s taken off the store. Granted I’m not familiar with this game so I don’t know if physical copies work, or if they’re just codes with a plastic shell. Or even if this game would be playable once the servers go down. I know it’s not the best game to keep around, but history deserves preservation, etc

reminds me of that man with the boy face from the adjective school house rock short

here’s the problem, too many toasters

You should watch the rest of the story and find out

They made tons of these! The Peter Rabbit ones were my favorite. They’re such good adaptations, they tell the original stories perfectly.

DUMB

Nah man. The mom even mentioned that earlier she found 7 of those rats and they ate them for dinner, but couldn’t get the “father rat”, the fat one in the picture. We can only assume they were his kids that she ate. So it’s no wonder they would maybe want some payback.

Honestly, it’s not nearly as disturbing as those. Watership Down sticks with you for life.

I had the VHS copy of this and the little kitten softly "meow"ing for help as he was about to be eaten by the rats was very disturbing. Especially when he was trapped in his own home and his mom and aunt couldn’t find them.

EDIT: Here it is in full! God what a throwback. As messed up as this story is, I loved it as a kid and would watch it all the time.

Jeff Porcaro was definitely one of the greatest drummers in the industry. That drum pattern is called the Rosanna Shuffle, and it’s notoriously difficult to pull off.

I don’t get it. Why are they at a Halloween party? Who burned the place down? Why is that guy wearing suspenders? No no no, this doesn’t make sense at all. I’m off to read some high-brow Marmaduke, some actual humor I can understand.

Mmm 64 slices of American cheese

see if you can find jay sherman in the title

This one actually made me laugh pretty hard

Nice, Ron

Don’t know how drastic the game was changed in the pixel remaster (sounds like for the better), but all of the fun ideas fell flat when you played it on the Famicom. As good as the Star Wars story was, the dialogue system had waay too many key words to choose from when you talk to NPCs, so even hunting for the word you want, let alone guessing, was a nightmare. There were also tons and tons of rooms in dungeons that led to nowhere, and the progression system could easily be exploited by both the player and the CPU. Maybe the pixel remaster irons these flaws out, but it was not a fun experience at all the first time I played.
