) So yeah, suggestions on what kinda games I should get. Sidescrollers, Zelda-ish adventure games, great 2 player games, and pretty much anything that's good.

P.S. If anyone knows good places online to get cheap old games (NES, SNES, Genesis, etc.) other than eBay, I'd love some suggestions.
Also, if you don't mind Dragon Warrior 1-ish graphics and like slightly odd RPGs, look for a game called White Lion. Not the best, but it was kinda different.
Adventures of Lolo, Adventures of Lolo 2. Action-puzzle type games, but fun.

I've seen Crystallis and I have heard good things about the Lolo games. I'll check out White Lion, but I can't remember seeing it at the places I've been too..hmm..
You couldn't jump but instead have a mechanical extendable arm that you use to pull yourself up walls, swing from ceilings, pull items to you or repel enemies in order to buy space to shoot 'em. Collect and choose different weapons and items, even a handful of top down mini-stages around the map. Freaking classic, i played that game to death and back 
Oh, and you fucking rock for having Milon's Secret Castle already Vorago fucked around with this message on 01-25-2006 at 09:56 PM.
I second it with a hard on, and a tub of popcorn.

Azizza had this to say about Pirotess:
Ikarus Warriors
If this was supposed to be Ikari Warriors, then arrrrgh no. I hate the one I have. I can't imagine it being better than it's sequel. The gameplay is so wretched. >_<

Naj had this to say about Cuba:
I see a lack of Kid Icarus on that list. >
I see a lack of finding the sumbitch. 
I played the shit out of that rom. I wants it a lot. ;__;
That game was so hilariously hard, you go from one area to the next in the progression and you go from wholly owning the mobs to getting curbstomped into oblivion in 3 attacks... classic!

I'll pass on that until it's actually given to me. I don't like paying lots of money for games I dislike.
Why couldn't FF2 be released statewide.

I'll throw in the old top of my PS2 case and a burned copy of Starcraft!
Has anyone tried that Gamefly service? They've got some sort of free trial, but I'm too lazy and jaded to even give it a try.
It's not something people hear about.

And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and Azizza was all like:
Guardian Legend, Ikarus Warriors, Bionic Commando.
Guardian Legend and Bionic Commando I second.
The manual doesn't tell you, but the bosses in the Overhead fights drop continues. If you don't get a few, you lose when you run out of lives (easy to do).

The chances of finding an NES game with a manual is very not good*. I think I have 3...Castlevania III I found near-mint with the box (score), The Addams Family has one and an ad for "Buy Nintendo Power Subscription and get a Game Atlas!", and Metal Gear which has art that makes Solid Snake REALLY look like Tom Cruise.
I mean he really really looks like him.

I think it's because you hate yourself.
I can't play it. At least I only paid a buck for it.

I was a teenager back when I did so you're probably right.
Or the name just fascinated me.
Bionic Commando, however, was one of the best games ever made.
Great thing is that at my local store that still sells NES games, they have it (and at least 3 of the other games mentioned with a buy 3, get 1 free sale) for like 4 or 5 bucks.

From the book of Falaanla Marr, chapter 3, verse 16:
I just noticed that the list was missing Battletoads.
That game isn't fun. It's something you beat for the sake of bragging rights.
