That's Simons Quest, I think. 88-89 release. Played it too many times.

yeah its castlevania II iOS

ah, i should have recognized that, because i just busted it out two nights ago for the first time in forever! i'm not a big fan of simon's quest! there are too many infinitely frustrating obstacles that have nothing to do with skill. for example, not just once but several times in the first 30 minutes of gameplay, there are fake ledges - you walk over them and just fall through them. there's no rhyme or reason to them, you just have to get punished and then remember they're there on your next attempt. when that happened the 10th time i turned off my nes in disgust. as a 29-year-old in 2013.

Because then you'd be able to play their games on other systems, which, due to having a library of decent games made by other companies, are worth owning? As compared ot a Nintendo system, which you only buy to play Nintendo games?

plenty of games by 3rd parties on Nintendo handhelds worth playing, almost all by Japanese developers though
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 23:34 (eleven years ago) link
Anyway it was me who voted for Nintendoland and, um, most of it's shit actually. I just threw it some points because the Mario Chase minigame is a really fun time, it's the best little whole-family-all-on-one-sofa-having-the-giggles thing we've played this year. But that one minigame definitely isn't worth buying the whole game for, and definitely definitely definitely isn't worth buying the whole console for.

EZSnappin: I posted my ongoing frustrations with this tower of disappointment and regret to ILX on what seemed like a daily basis. Coulda been amazing, but sure as fuck wasn't.
Zora: Oh, it got a few things right. The core climb-up-stuff-and-jump-off-it-again mechanic is still superb. Sadly, I had to stop playing it after I watched the Zero Punctuation review, and realised that the review was bang on, a lot more fun than the game and didn't take nearly as long to get through. It's just as well because playing AC games compels me to gorge on Toblerones and my arse is fat enough already.

if: Do you like Formula 1? Do you like Mario Kart? Do you like surprisingly well thought out single player career campaigns? Well, probably not many people are going to answer yes to all three of those to the same extent as me, but if you did, then you may well love this game. It carries through on its absurd mash-up ideas with gusto, and while I was initially disappointed to realise that it had only 11 out of 20 tracks on the F1 calendar, I got a lot of fun out of it regardless.

hmm, i guess i was the only person who voted for fm2013 and torchlight 2? i feel bad for not having written something up now. um...fm2013 was the only sport-related game i played this year that i didn't hate? torchlight 2 i am surprised didn't get any more votes, maybe ppl are waiting for it to be bundled; i waited to pick it up 50% off. it's just a well-balanced, well-designed, good looking, fun to play game. retrospectively made me realize how little i actually enjoyed playing dIII.

WillM: Six of us got together and played this. We had two decent laptops, two not-so-decent laptops (supplied to public school teachers by a public school board, to give you an idea of the quality); an iPad; a fairly powerful PC, and an iPhone which didn't really work out as well as the iPad and was subbed for one of the bad laptops later in. Installing, setting up, all of that was painless. Learning to play was harder for some stations than others, and some required more upkeep than others, but six of us with varying levels of gaming "ability" and urge to play managed to have an absolute ball. I want to play this again -- a lot. This game makes me want to build a pretend space station bridge and put PCs in it. God. BUY THIS GAME. GET 5 MATES. PLAY IT AND PRETEND YOU'RE CAPTAIN KIRK. IT'S AWESOME. And it's nowhere near as hard as everyone says it looks.

jjjusten: It's a Suda platformer with all the batshit qualities that you would expect from such a beast, but missing the trademark "wait the actual game part of this sucks" us fans have come to expect. Why am I buying things from a wheel of mouths? WTF are these cat plants about anyway? What the fuck is that thing for? Yep, that's all here too. Great use of 2-d theatrical shift tricks, playable but by no means easy, weird as fuck. If you don't get sucked in by the demo, don't bother going any further and just go back playing BLOPS until your dumb brain slops out of your ears.
