Just got these NES gems at EB games today.

  • Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - 3 bucks
  • Mega Man - 3 bucks
  • Mega Man 2 - 3 bucks
  • Mega Man 5 - 10 bucks
  • Mega Man 6 - 10 bucks
  • Joe and Mac - 3 bucks
  • Trog! - 2 bucks
  • Mike Tyson's Punch Out - 5 bucks
  • Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road - 3 bucks
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project - 3 bucks

and I also got Secret of Evermore for 3 bucks.

I am a happy person.

P.S. Apparantly, the guy who sold all these to EB had sold his entire SNES/NES collection and Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana were there that day, but before I got there. They'd been there for a week too. Would've got them for 25 bucks each due to the 50% off all NES, SNES and Genesis games deal.

I still have my Chrono Trigger cart from when it came out!

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I can't see the need to play NES or SNES games on anything other than my computer.

All systems with an anologue stick, however, require the system.

Me too. I've beaten Chrono Trigger a million times on an emulator, but somehow it's still cool on the SNES. Then again, it is Chrono Trigger.

Secret of Evermore is so awesome. I was actually wanting to play it earlier today for no reason except it rocked so much.

Finding an emulator for Atari 2600 is very very easy.

I need to find cords so I can actually use one of my Commodore 64s. I have two.

So you've got brain damage. That doesn't change the fact that ET games salvaged from the dump are better than Evermore.

I can say with complete seriousness that I would rather have a root canal without anesthetic than play Secret of Evermore.

Secret of Evermore is the example I use when I'm in a particularly bad mood and want to prove that Squaresoft is capable of producing worse storylines than Final Fantasy 8.

Wow, I haven't seen someone this irate since Captain Fred outwitted the chief of the Snorvlian Marsh People in Escape from The Armpit of the Galaxy.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

"Secret of" anything in general blows.

The instant those 2 words get slapped into a title, the game goes downhill.

Root canals are boring, not painful. Way to go being an elitist, though, and saying you're better than everyone else because you don't like something that they do.

The great thing about this annoyingly bitchy thread is that I don't even care about Secret of Evermore, I just bought it because I recognized the name.

I'm more happy about my 4 new NES Mega Man games.

I liked Secret of Mana more than Secret of Evermore.

But that's probably because I always got stuck playing the dog.

What?

Secret of Evermore was 1-Player. Only reason you'd end up playing the dog is because you choose to.

I haven't played much of it, but as I recall if your human character dies you have to play as the dog when it's still alive, right? That's probably what he meant. I'm not positive though, and too lazy to look it up.

That sig is mastodonic guy, shrink it down a bit.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Pretty sure that if the boy dies, it's game over. If the dog dies, he just follows you around and does nothing(lolololol like normal) until he's revived.
