Start begging for extensions via AIM, that's pretty much all I can tell you. :\ (Only if you're serious about playing in the next day or two though.) |

Nah, a top 50/100 for a specific system's easier. I've actually been looking at making a NES one... you can easily cut the whole list down to 200-250 when you take out all the crap games. |

Yum. I think most new games were in the $49-$69 range here for the NES.
I think my parents HATED the fact I wanted FF3/6 for Christmas when it came out... not that they couldn't afford it, but that they were stunned they had to pay $99.99 (yes) for a VIDEO GAME. That game was HORRIBLY overpriced and I think Chrono Trigger sold here for $79.99. |

Yeah, he's Canadian; he got his start here before going to ABC.
An interesting benefit of his Canadian citizenship was being able to use his native passport to get into Cuba to report for ABC. |

So the board's address (well, at least the old one) is printed IN A BOOK?
OK, we need to get some sort of "GO HERE" link onto the old page. ASAP. |

Hey, he could have meant Venice, ITALY. Then we'd all look pretty silly.
Welcome to the board. |

Hart's already come in to do his work for the DVD, although that might be the extent of their deal. I'm not sure. Odds are Vince might have asked him for the OK on the reference. |

Wha? What did I miss?
(Yeah, I tried the GBA games... got brain cramps as a result. :\) |

Anyways... yeah. Pretty slow day new thread-wise to be perfectly honest. |

*pulls out one of the few old NP's he has left*
Issue 50. July 1993. I'm just going to do the top 10 for each system and the number of points (formula using Player, Dealer and Pro data) each game got. They used this format for a while I think, at first it was just the top 30 NES games.
On another note, I would really LOVE to find some scanned NP issues.

GB:
1) Super Mario Land 2 (29,108) 2) Super Mario Land (13,295) 3) Metroid II: Return of Samus (12,831) 4) Kirby's Dreamland (10,380) 5) Tetris (7,730) 6) Zelda: Link's Awakening (7,254) 7) Dr. Mario (6,951) 8) Battletoads (6,435) 9) Faceball 2000 (6,413) 10) Final Fantasy Adventure (5,301)
NES:
1) Super Mario Bros. 3 (14,347) 2) Legend of Zelda (11,833) 3) Mega Man V (9,592) 4) Tecmo Super Bowl (8,316) 5) Metroid (7,463) 6) Dragon Warrior IV (6,133) 7) Final Fantasy (6,018) 8) Dr. Mario (5,530) 9) Battletoads (5,365) 10) Tetris (5,097)

I have a *preference* for old school games since I was brought up around them and all, but both can be quite enjoyable. If a game nails down the whole "gameplay" aspect, then it's going to be good whether it has 2D or 3D graphics. It's when you get into the whole "more style than substance" trap that you see problems with some of today's games. |

Canada hosted it two years ago and it went off pretty smoothly all things considered. I know a lot of kids around here went, but I... well, I had school and it's not like I wanted to head to Toronto. |
