I'm actually kind of surprised that the Tiny Toons game didn't do that well. Maybe this was just one of those games were the presentation carried it back in the day.

A fair number of games here that also appeared on NES. It's sort of nostalgic. I still remember when we covered Milon's Secret Castle for NES, though sadly those reviews have been lost to time.

I'm happy to see CTR pull in the big ratings even after this many years of PS1 GAB. While not the highest number of votes (which remains 17 for Spyro 1), it's still a pretty respectable number.

Games for this topic:

Aztec: The Curse in the Heart of the City of Gold

Rally de Africa was one of my favourite early finds from GAB, so I'm happy to finally cover the sequel. I also initially thought we had already covered Pong The Next Level, but that was instead Breakout, so I'm curious to see what they did with Pong.

A very strong showing for Centipede. I feel like this is sometimes kind of left out of the discussion when people talk about the big games from Gen 2, so it's nice to see it get some redemption here. Also, I was quite surprised to see Harvest Moon get all Bs, I expected to be an outlier on that one. We'll see what happens with the rest of the series.

TTA: Babs Big Break was one of my friend's favourite games when we were kids, but I've actually never played it. So far I feel like most of the games that were popular when I was young have held up fairly well, so I'm curious to try this one.

A pretty highly rated topic, I feel like we haven't had 4 games in the high range in one topic for a while. Despite that, I was surprised so few people played Langrisser 4, given the series' popularity. The fan translation seems to be of pretty good quality, try this out!

Nintendo released a report on your overall playtime with Nintendo Switch recently, and I was quite surprised to see that apparently my most played game was the Crash Team Racing remake, even over absurdly long games like Monster Hunter and the Xenoblade games. I actually never played the original all that much so I'm interested to see how they compare. Beyond this, I also think Will the Starship seems like an interesting game.
