Some video game flash backs!

So I decided to go back in time and play some old games. I started with Pokémon leaf green! I must say that it is quite interesting to be playing these games especially since growing up the only Gameboy games I owned were Pokémon Yellow. And even these are vastly different. There is an option to be a girl and the Pokémon you start with is not handed to you, but rather you get to choose as if you were actually going on an adventure yourself. I also still wanna catch a Mew! <3


I also find it interesting that the systems are so vastly different. I always thought that the only way i'd ever be able to play them was if I bought the old systems, but I have found that the Gameboy Advance SP is quite the nifty thing to have. It offers a back light and an option to play all the Gameboy games including, Gameboy Advanced and Gameboy Color. I'm definitely looking into it now! :) And of course if you have a DS you can play the GBA games too! So as far as handhelds are concerned I'd say it's a way to go!

The next thing I wanna try is the GameCube and Game Boy Advance Connection. Supposedly, the way it worked was that, using specially written software, developers were able to make the Game Cube and the Game Boy Advance so that they could communicate with each other. This connectivity was featured in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, allowing players, using the Tingle Tuner, to get information on the different islands, collect Tingle statues, and get advice on how to solve dungeon puzzles. I think it was also featured in PacMan Vs. I just think it would be quite a different gaming experience. =] 

Also, do you remember Rareware? They partnered up with Nintendo, until 2000, to create video games such as Donkey kong 64, the banjo kazooie series, jet force gemini, and star fox adventures.Well I decided to play Banjo-Kazooie again! I must say the soundtrack and the game play made me realize why I fell in love with the game as a kid. Were there any games like this for you?

And of course, I started playing the Sega games as well. I can't get enough of that little hedgehog and his foxy sidekick, Tails! I love how the games just generally get faster and harder as you play them. That's one of the main difficulties it proposed. I think Tetris is actually known for that. Needless to say, i'm having fun and remembering why I fell in love with the classics.
