Jacking into the matrix was great but i was playing on an emulator and just cheated everytime i got killed by ICE, i think i'll go through it after i've finished FFT without doing that.

Apparently I don't have shit for games though, all I could find was Super Mario World and SFII Turbo (and some crap like Flashback and Super Empire Strikes back). I'm looking forward to getting some of stuff mentioned in this thread.
(Okay, Flashback isn't crap, I just don't have the patience for it right now).

the yoshi turning into things bits are ok, but the egg thing is a rilly genius way to structure it as something mildly puzzlelike.
the fact that if you fuck up you can always try and catch baby mario is a nice twist, b/c it gives a nicer, saner, sort of "breathing room" than losing one time mushroom powerups, etc.
the first time i lost mario i freaked the hell out. now i'm used to it happening a few times per level.
i also like the self-conscious nod of bringing back the super mario 2 characters, and the hovering jump is so addictive!

dl, getcherself a Vita! Its optimal function as far as I can tell is as a portable old-school RPG device. I have mine loaded up with practically every major game of the genre through at least like '95.

That I don't know, but a ridiculous number of these things are available via above-board means. Pretty much all the early Ys and Mana and Phantasy Star and FF games, most of the stuff released on PS1, a bunch of SNES ports.

After watching all those Super Mario Maker vids I got the itch, but don't have a Switch. So I pulled out this old 'FC Twin' bootleg machine that plays both NES and SNES cartridges (it has an 8 bit/16 bit switch and two slots), and the original Super Mario World.
I'd forgotten that even when you save your game (which you can only do after beating certain worlds), it doesn't save your extra lives or powerups. And after moving the console, the screen got all glitchy so I hit reset, and all the save slots were cleared. It's all part of the experience.
