Another day has come and gone and this day I played a variety of games from various genres and consoles (well through the VC but on different platforms nonetheless :P) Was a good day indeed but what did I play.

• Megaman 8

Finally got around to finishing this at last. Got to the last stage yesterday and kept getting killed by Wily and then found out something I didn't know about in that you can use Rush for certain things and helped me beat the last part of Wily then no problem. Really enjoyed the game and plan to go through the other ones in the series now no matter how frustrating that will be. Going to get Megaman X Collection also sometime down the road as well as X7 and X8.

• Adventure Island

I enjoyed playing this yesterday and played some more today trying to get past the level Mike got to. Nearly finished 2-3 and then died at the end. Will play more since I like Wonder Boy (played it on Master System and Arcade back in the day) and its harder than it by far.

• Gunstar Heroes

Downloaded this on the VC today. One of the classics from the Mega Drive even if it ain't a long game (can easily go through it in an hour or less) but it has great gameplay. Played a few levels just to get the feel of it again and it is a great game still. Oh and the 4th level board game part is awesome.

• Kirby's Adventure

Never played this before until today. Downloaded it on the VC and played the first world on it and have to say, I really like it. I played a Kirby game on the Game Boy I believe a while ago, which was Kirby's Dream land I think and enjoyed it. It has cool gameplay and that you can suck up certain enemies and use their powers. Will be playing more of this for the rest of the week.

• Lylat Wars

Also known as Star Fox 64 (our title is better :P). Another great game from the N64 and played this to the last level (the one where you have to fight Star Wolf again in their enhanced ships) where I got my butt kicked due to the fact that I was alone. My teammates were all taken down in the previous level and couldn't do a damn thing. Not so easy when you're on your own since they are all after you. Finished the game several times before through this level anyway so it doesn't matter but never without my mates.

• Super Ghouls & Ghosts

Considered to be one of the hardest games on the SNES and in some people's cases, of all time. I borrowed this game years ago and got through the game only to find out I had to go through it again. I never managed to get the actual thing you needed to progress onto the final boss after going through the game twice if my memory serves me correctly. I played 5 mins of this just to get used to it again and it looks like it will give me some bother once again but I welcome the challenge. Its got to be easier than GoW in God Mode right?

I played a bit of Megaman 7 also. It was a good day to play some retro games and still have another 3 days to go before I can go back to modern civilisation. :P Might do a video tomorrow or Friday with one of these games or something else.

Toodles.
