Quote:You know, I'd never really noticed that you couldn't aim up and down in those games... because it doesn't really matter...
Ookay.

Quote:SML is bad in no sense of the word. Is it a really great game? No. However, its a good platformer... and not 'bad' in any way I'd use the word. I'd say its good, but admittedly not great. Its short length and lack of saving do hurt.
It's bad by Mario standards, which doesn't mean that it's a bad game. It's just much worse than any other Mario game.
Quote:FF Adventure I liked a lot too... not as good as Zelda, but still a great game.
As for those other games... we obviously have a very different standard for a game being good... how can you not like Kirby 2 or Wario Land a lot? And how about Mole Mania? There are plenty more too, I just can't think of them offhand... and some require liking the genre -- I love Micro Machines because I love racing games, and Gradius because I really like sidescrolling shooters...
I liked Micro Machines on the PC, but never played the GB game. Same goes for Mole Mania. I don't love Kirby 2 and Wario Land. Fun games, but not amazing.
Quote:The GBC was by far a much weaker system than the GB... I can't see how you could possibly prefer it to the GB. I mean, there are so few truly great GBC games, and so many for GB... unless you count all the GB games as GBC games too, but that just isn't sane. No, the GB is a MUCH, MUCH stronger system as far as games go than the GBC... and a lot of GBC games (the dual-mode ones) work on a GB too... I can't see how you could prefer the GBC unless color means that much to you, which you said it doesn't.
There are only a few GB games that I consider to be great, while there a few more on the GBC that I consider to be great. You have the Oracle games, LA DX, SMB DX, Metal Gear, Harvest Moon, Dragon Warrior III, and a couple of others.
