Nice! I believe I have all of the games you just picked up, interestingly. ... Yup, I do. Heh. I didn't get any of these recently, though. If you'd gotten Rayman 2 for N64 I wouldn't have though, I "only" have Rayman 2 for PC and DC.
GB Ninja Turtles - Yeah, the first game is pretty weak, it's incredibly short and easy. The second one is a lot better and actually is good. It's still a simple game but there's more to it than the first one in the gameplay. I like the isometridc parts too, even if the one-hit-kill enemies make those parts a bit simple. The third one, which I don't have (I should have bought it back when it was new... ah well), is fairly expensive now, but is best known for being an early Metroidvania.
Rayman 2 is one of my all-time favorite 3d platformers, it's right near the top of my list. The DC has maybe the overall best version. Rayman 1 is okay, but is a crushingly hard game I do not enjoy playing for more than a few levels, it's way too hard to be worthwhile. It looks beautiful but the gameplay, why is it so insanely hard? I will buy the Atari Jaguar version eventually, it's interesting for being a bit different from the PS1/PC/Saturn version we know...
Battletoads GB - Yeah, it's so so weird that the one called "Battletoads" is the original title, while "Battletoads in Ragnarok's World" is a port of the first NES game, isn't it? I have no idea why they did that, but they did. Anyway, I only have Battletoads for Game Boy, the original one. It's good, though I haven't played as much of it as I should. It's definitely easier than the major-console titles, which is nice, though it's still tough. Oh, I also have Battletoads Double Dragon only on the Genesis, as you do. Heh.
Operation C - As I'm not a huge Contra fan, Hard Corps excepted (I really really love that game), when I got this some years ago I wasn't expecting all that much... but it's really good. I think the main thing I like is probably that it's much easier than the console games. Operation C isn't EASY, but it's so much more playable than the NES games, I actually have fun with this one. :)
Glover, Quake II, SSSV, and Bomberman 64... I definitely covered those in my N64 Game Opinion Summaries list(s) some years ago. Sure, they're all good, though Glover's the weakest of those I would say just because of how incredibly frustrating the game is. That's one hard, hard game...
I do have one question though -- what is this about an American revision of SSSV that fixes the crashing with an expansion pak? I'm not sure what numbers or A you mean. I don't think I know about that, or at least I sure don't remember anything about that... and looking it up I'm not finding anything at the moment. I doubt I have that fixed version though but if there is one that would be pretty interesting. (I don't remember the game ever crashing on me, but maybe I just didn't play enough; it's not a game I played nearly as much as I probably should have.)
