Guild of the Old-School Platformers

[Beat]

Yeah, I saw that video when it was posted to Cinemassacre; good stuff. Apparently Mike had a gigantic NES game collection long before James ever started the one in his own basement.


Awesome. ^__^ I remember the time that my high school friends and I discovered Alex Kidd games through The Lost Stars on the SEGA Master System. We all had a good laugh at how cracked out that game was.

I've never played Lost Stars, but I heard it was one of the better Alex Kidd game out there...Then again, it isnt hard to be better than Enchanted Castle or High-Tech World.

I played all of the Sly Cooper games except the first one since the disc I could get to was all scratched up. I enjoy the Sly Cooper series a lot, from pick-pocketing enemies to having multiple characters with all very unique gameplay and abilities and fun missions to play. That is one series that I would recommend to anyone who enjoy platforming games.

Yeah. They're great games. Though, I didn't like the third game much. It's a series that focuses on stealth platforming. Not scuba diving, RC cars, blowing stuff up, or bar fights. Sly 2 is by far the best in the series because it had the stealth from the first game and you always felt like a thief.

The Lost Stars isn't really the greatest game by any means, but it is really amusing to look at. xD

It's a quick little dosage of fun, and I do mean quick; as I recall, the game is only five or six stages long, aside from making you play those same stages over again with a higher level of challenge.

I actually prefer all that stuff over stealth gameplay, personally. Stealth just isn't that much fun to me. =P
