  • Gradius is a shooter that might convince me to like shooters.  That's a task in itself.  It's not perfect, even Micronics put continues in 1942, but the game is so much better that it still wins.

  • Ghosts 'n Goblins should have been so much better.  As it stands it's still a pretty awesome game.  I just hope that Nick Arcade used the arcade version and not this one on the show.

  • Karate Champ should have been a fencing game.  That alone would have made this better.  Just goes to show that expectations have a lot to do with how a game is perceived.

  • The best things you can say about Tag Team Wrestling are that the box is pretty and it's not M.U.S.C.L.E.  That's about it.  Oh yeah, and it gave us Strong Bad.

  • If it's a Donkey Kong game then it sucks.  If it's a really early shooter than it's really good.  Sort of like with some movies a title that didn't tie it to an existing franchise would have helped a lot.
