      My first gaming platform. Spent entire Christmas holidays playing Elite on it back in the day. The memories! Oh, and that unforgettable loading sound: youtube.com/watch?v=SdwK1vBnZ7A The excitement of it, the anticipation and the constant fear as in "will it load?" :)

      Way to work in making fun of anyone who protested the ME3 ending, you sure are cool. Way to jump on the douchebag bandwagon with the guys at IGN by pretending you're somehow better than the rest of us because you don't actually have to pay for the garbage Bioware is spoon feeding the masses.

      Yeah, I remember getting it on the PC when I was really young. I know that I finally made it to the last stage but I don't think I ever beat it. I have been trying to get it to run again for a few years now, but my newer computers don't have all the right components to run it ever.

      I'm looking forward to playing Minish Cap post Skyward Sword. I felt like there were lots of similarities there I missed or couldn't be sure of. Not one dud! Although I admit I would have much preferred GBA Rhythm Tengoku to Fire Emblem. One of the GBA games I wish I'd played.

      It is about time! Those first 10 games were massive disappointments. These all sound great. Mario Kart, Super Mario 3, and F-Zero! But I thought that Yoshi's Island was on the list. I was really looking forward to that one.

      BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHAOs?!! THE CHAOs!!!! Last best sonic game was Adventures 2, end of story. Aside from that, great review and I'm stoked to get back into the Sonic universe, getting this for sure.

      to the reviewer, NOTHING touches Sonic 3 & Knuckles. NOTHING. Seeing Super AND Hyper Sonic (as well as Knuckles) was like seeing Super Saiyan 1 and 2 Goku from DBZ -- EPIC. Get Blue Spheres was THE GREATEST way to get emeralds and the elemental shields consisted of awesome. I don't recall Sonic 2 having ANY of those.

      Awesome. That certainly solves the age old debate of whether it's possible to pass over the flag, because, yes, yes it is, but only if you're doing it for greater sciencing.

      The primary reason I purchased a Saturn from eBay at the beginning of this year was for Panzer Dragoon Saga and NiGHTS. Both were worth every penny spent. A PSN/XBLA remake would be something I would buy despite owning the original.

      There's a really well done updated remake that was released on PS2. It'd be worth importing from japan, I'd say. The graphics are significantly better than the saturn version, and everything else is just as fantastic.
