Which one? The first one on the 8-bit Nintendo?
IŽd love to play that one (never played it before)...we`re actually playing the Gameboy version of "Link`s Awakening" (Zelda # 7, I think). We started playing it on the Gameboy but the cardridge has an error...it kept crashing at a certain point (had to restart twice)...now we`re playing it on my pc with a cool Gameboy emulator...even lets you speed things up and save the gameplay at any point you like. And it`s fun playing it on a large screen.

Still playing KOF 2003 like it's going out of style, and doing a lot of "roulette" when it comes to character selection. Too often the temptation of going with characters I have wired gets me, and I wind up neglecting to learn other characters. Still having a total blast on this one.
Well, as of this writing, amazon.com still has KOF XI with a release date of 11/13/07...so come on November 13th! Man I hope this game doesn't get pushed back again. If it does, you're going to see me cry like a little girl with a skinned knee, and let me tell you, there's nothing more pathetic than watching a fat boy cry.

That's what kills me about some of those Gameboy games...especially the Castlevania series! Unless you play those games on a bigger screen, you're going to miss a whole lot of the graphical detail those artists and programmers put in. All that work and attention to detail gets compromised with a smaller, portable screen.
That's what kicked my ass over Konami finally wising up and releasing Dracula X here in America. That's a real beauty of a game, but the damned thing is going to the PSP! WHY can't they release it on the PS2 as well? How come these companies feel the need to regulate 2D gaming to portables? I just don't get it...

You`re absolutely right...that was the first thing I noticed. All those details that are lost on a tiny Gameboy screen. For example, I never noticed that the flowers in Zelda are swaying in the wind...something you can only recognize on a large screen.

I dug out my Ultima Collection from the archives and have loaded it on the computer. I had to download a program called "dosbox" to act as an emulator to run those old games on the modern system. I'm trying to give Ultima VIII Pagan another go. I played it back in '94, but got sick of it close to the end. Let's see if I can finish it 13 years later...

Although I was never an Ultima player I always heard it was pretty addictive. In my old school there were people playing it in the 80s...mostly the same people that enjoyed games like "The Bards Tale" or "Heart of Africa", if you remember those. I was always more into text adventures than into RPGs.
