I could totally see that working, except Capcom would always throw in those annoying levels that have those blocks that appear and disappear in patterns. -Matt
I couldn't get into Bomberman. Looking back, I always enjoyed action RPGs with puzzle elements (think: Zelda) and classic arcade games. The best gaming adventure I ever had was playing StarTropics for NES- it's such a superb game that I look back on the time playing it as fondly as if Mike's unpredictable journey were legitimate life experiences of mine. The storyline was a fun, imaginative, comedic ride and there was a certain fourth-wall element to the game unlike anything I've ever seen which made the game especially memorable. I'd prefer not to spoil it, but since I was probably the last person on earth to ever buy an unopened box of it (at a flea market- several years after NES games had stopped being produced), I might as well just spill the beans. Included with the game cartridge was a letter to Mike, the main character, from his uncle who went missing (the incident which anchors the entire plot). The physical letter insists that it is VERY IMPORTANT that you keep the letter. For some reason, I actually listened and took care to make sure I never lost or damaged it as I tried to finish the game. Lo and behold, you reach a certain point in the game where you need to know the secret numeric code to operate your uncle's submarine. You find this code by- and I still can't get over this- submerging the physical letter, which was included with the game in water, revealing the four numbers that you need to type into the submarine interface in the game. Really amazing, nice touch which really made the whole experience special. Games today are more realistic, but nowhere near as addictive or fun. At least not for a guy who grew up marveling over 80's arcade and early 90's console games.
