I've managed to get through my copy of Castlevania for my Playchoice 10 cab. I'd forgotten how tough Death and Dracula were! I just played through Castlevania for the first time (prompted by the recent RG article). I was wondering what all the 'extreme difficulty' complaints were about until I came...

Wow, what a great response! I'm stoked, all four games remembered and identified. I'm going to go looking for all of those right now, freshly armed with your expertise! Thanks everyone. Incidentally, does anyone have a top 10 Master System games list they want to share? Mine are (not necessarily in ...

Hi all, My first ever post... I've been trying to track down 4 games from my childhood, and I'm hoping someone can help me: 1. A game that I think was called Tanglewood Tales - I found it on an unlabelled disk when I got my first very own computer (a Medfly Apple II compatible!) back in the 80s. It ...

Hi Goldberg,

I just joined this morning (Australian time) and yours is the first post I saw.

Bloody fantastic! That's really inspirational! I hope you can keep up the good work after your move.

Cheers,
