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!

The barrel shooting was amazing, you'd complete a section and be like "how the fuck did I just do that!"

This is why I so enjoy the way katamaris can pull themselves back from the most extreme angles and edges.

SO MUCH FARMING OF COCK going on. Enough to make a sequel to "Harvest Moon" from it.
GODDAMMIT I JUST WANT A ROM OF EARTHBOUND IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD
in other news, i found my four-year-old savestates from the last time I played Chrono Trigger. Should I beat the rest of the game, or start over from the beginning?

Or at least it's got a rep, and I'd check it out, if I was like some of you people and had time to do things like that
(NB I did get to the second pendant in Link To The Past GBA version, yesterday during pauses in the football games)

Your soldiers consist of knights, wizards, healers, bird men, gladiators, beast men, dragons, undead creatures, giants, angels, demons, and more[!!!?!?!?] . You put together units of five and send them across a huge map to liberate towns and combat enemies.

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.
