Yes, it is quite hard. Though maybe not as hard.

I do too, awesome game, much better than average in every way.
I'm talking about both versions, I found the Amiga one much more fun and pleasant to play due to the mouse controls (I don't know if the MD version supports the Sega Mouse, but there I played with a controller). Any Strategy game is better with a mouse really.
Best Mario game Super Mario All Stars + World.(I Cheated)
Worst Castlevania On n.e.s. Simons Quest.
But Simons Quest is still better than the Gameboy Releases.
Sometimes the games are just that damn good, that's why they are popular.
Or we are all somehow connected in a way we do not understand yet.
Mario 3 is the best game ever!
SOTN was better than Mario 3!

I tried Morrowind and I didn't care for it. The world felt sterile and lifeless. It felt like everything I did was just for the sake of it, and didn't actually make any impact. The player character didn't have any particular reason to be there. I lacked motivation.
Sorry, OP, but Super Castlevania IV is easily the best Castlevania game ever made. The superior whip controls alone push it over the top. I also agree with the sentiment that the N64 Castlevania games are by FAR the best 3d Castlevanias, and that they are quite good games overall.
Anyway... I'm sure I could say plenty.
-San Francisco Rush 2049 (N64 particularly, also Dreamcast) is the best game ever made in which you control a vehicle.
-Racing games set in the future are usually better and more interesting than ones set in the modern day.
-NetStorm is the best RTS not made by Blizzard (Blizzard RTSes [SC, WC3, WC2] are my favorite, then NS, then others such as SupCom)
-The N64 has the best racing game library of its generation
-The N64 is the best console ever and has my favorite controller too (though the Saturn 3D Controller is very, very close; it's a near-tie)
-I don't think controllers really need two analog sticks, one is fine. The things that second stick are used for really aren't needed most of the time. C-buttons do fine for a camera, for instance, and twinstick FPS controls? I hate them, give me an N64 controller for FPSes anytime! Two sticks is good for Robotron style games, but that's one of the few.
-Super Mario Kart has poor controls and is overrated. Street Racer (SNES) is better. Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii are the best games in that franchise; they are very, very good.
-Most of the Final Fantasy games don't interest me very much. Lunar is better. FF12 is my favorite Final Fantasy.
-Zelda: A Link to the Past is good, but far, far overrated. Link's Awakening and both of the Oracles games are much better.
-Super Mario World is the best 2d platformer. Goemon's Great Adventure is the best 2.5d platformer.
-TMNT 3 (NES) is the best home-console Ninja Turtles game.
-The 6-button Genesis controller is better than the SNES controller (probably controversial places other than this site... :p )
-Metal Slug is a far better series than Contra. I just don't find most Contra games interesting enough to keep going back to, but Metal Slug... I love those games. And I love the Metal Slug predecessors too, namely GunForce and GunForce 2. It might not be a "better game", but I find SNES GunForce much more fun than Contra III. Admittedly though, Contra Hard Corps is great. Operation C on the GB is fun as well.
-The Genesis plus Sega CD and 32X and Super Nintendo are equally great; I can't choose one or the other, for which is the better system.
-I really like those big jewelcases that Sega CD and Saturn games come in, and don't really like the look of DVD cases.
And plenty more stuff I'm sure.
The Dreamcast's max polygon count is so, so much lower than the GC, Xbox, or PS2's that though the system surely had more power that wasn't used yet, it could never have matched the graphics of games which max out those other systems, even the PS2... (and yes, I know a lot of PS2 games don't have huge polygon counts either. Even so, they are often higher than what the DC could do.)
Under Defeat is probably the best-looking "post-death" DC game, though. And it does look very nice.
The Last Ninja had a NES port. It was ignored for a reason, most C64 games did not hold up well at all when brought over to the console and compared to the games there. Also see Cybernoid. It's apparently popular on C64, for whatever reason, but I have it for NES... that's a pretty bad game!
The Colecovision-5200-Vectrex-SG-1000 clearly were next-generation machines. They are not in the same generation as the 2600, Odyssey 2, and such. So, either they are third-gen machines -- which makes sense, considering that the Colecovision, 5200, and Vectrex were released in 1982 and were the first new major consoles in 2 1/2 to 3 years, and then the SG-1000 released (in Japan and parts of Europe) in 1983, the same week as the NES did in Japan... it's very clear that hardware-wise those systems go in the same generation. A lot of people just don't think of it correctly because they think of the NES as having released in '85, and think of later-generation NES titles that use mappers and such, not the early ones (Donkey Kong, Popeye, and such) that show how limited the hardware is without mappers...Quote:
- People need to stop numbering console generations without specifying what systems they're referring to. Console generations can be messy and there's no single right answer to how many generations there have been. It seems many people here count Colecovision-5200-Vectrex as the same gen as the NES-7800-SMS which doesn't make sense to most older gamers that lived through those years.
So no, the real problem is people and sites like GameFAQs which actually put the Colecovision, etc. in the same generation as the 2600! That's just crazy. And yes, I do think it's entirely reasonable to break out consoles by generation. There are some messy elements to it though, that much I certainly agree with you...
Sega and Atari both released multiple third-gen home consoles. Sega had both the SG-1000 and the Master System, and Atari had the 5200, 7800, and XE. All of those systems really do properly go in the third generation.
I've played Dino Stalker for PS2. A lightgun with buttons on it is a horrendously bad way to control an FPS.
You also obviously don't care about strategy or simulation games either. And no, they aren't all better with a touchscreen.
The only systems that should count on a gen list are:
2nd GEN :
Atari 2600
Third GEN:
Sega Master System
N.E.S.
4th GEN:
Sega Genesis
Super N.E.S.
5th GEN:
Nintendo 64
Playstation 1
Sega Saturn (iffy)
6th GEN:
Sega Dreamcast
Playstation 2
7th GEN:
Wii
All others are crap factories in my opinion.
Especially the Atari consoles, Neo geo, turbo graphx,X-box,3do,and gamecube.
Any un-named consoles suck so bad they don't even deserve a title or term to describe them.

You know what? You are a crap factory! :D
Television sets weren't invented with games in mind either. And joysticks pre-date video games, too.Quote:

Nope, not offended. Your crap factory is comedy gold! You even invented a new word! You're such an expert at writing cool stories... bro!

Ghostbusters is a pretty bad game too... I have that for SMS. California Games... I remember that being popular in the late '80s, but never cared too much for it myself. As for Impossible Mission, I have the Wii remake. It's alright, but unexciting. I also have Zillion for SMS, which of course is an Impossible Mission clone. It's also kind of ... eh. I guess it's decent, but doesn't keep me interested for all that long.
I am quite biased against any computer that is not a PC... I own a lot of consoles now, but the only computers I've ever had are PCs, and I remain unconvinced that buying other old computer types would really be worth it. But sure, I've never played a C64, or C64 emulator either.Quote:
