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.

Wow, I expected to get some pushback for my opinion about Pac-Man, I certainly didn't expect most people to agree with it. Though clearly superior due to the availability of colour, the NES version scored 81%. Of course, that was around 13 years ago, and I wonder if it would fare less well today.

Although I'm listing this under the GBC version, the GB and GBC versions of Harvest Moon 1 are nearly identical and you can rate based on either version. This also goes for Centipede, which also has a GBC version which is basically the same.

A pretty highly rated topic this time. Maybe I should watch some of Hunter X Hunter at some point, it's a series I have almost no familiarity with.

Quite a few games here that we've already covered on Saturn, but as always they may have differences from the Saturn version (and Langrisser 4 in particular has some very significant differences). There's also a fan translation available for Langrisser 4.
