Mickey's Speedway USA
Gauntlet... well, of course I had to get Gauntlet. The NES version of the arcade classic I've loved for so long? Yeah, must-own. Mickey's Speedway USA... um, I don't know, it was cheap and it's from Rare when they were good, so despite the mediocre reviews, I couldn't resist. For $10 for all three, it doesn't matter much how good it is overall... and I did have to own it sometime. Thunder Spirits is great to have, though. Sure, fans generally seem to prefer the original (Thunder Force III for Genesis, which this is a thirdhand version of (Thunder Force AC for arcades was the second version)), but I don't have that one and haven't seen any copies of it, though I do have Thunder Force II and IV (aka Lightening Force), so I'm pretty happy with this. And it's not exactly the same as TFIII, so either way, it'd definitely be worth having. I like shmups a lot, and the 16-bit consoles are exceptionally good at the genre, so when I saw they had it I had to get it. :)
