Just so we’re clear, Adventure Island was just “The Erotic Adventures of Nathan Lane”, am I right?

I generally play games on hard but rarely on expert.
Games like Halo.. I have friends who have beaten the game on legendary while I have only done heroic.. I know I am better than them and I could do legendary if I really wanted to.. but it’s just not worth spending 30 minutes to get to every checkpoint for me, even if I do feel accomplished in the end.

No mention of Halo on Legendary? I still have nightmares about that third level when you board the Truth and Reconciliation. Hoo boy, was that a tough fight.

My mother plays that Adventure Island on the SNES and beats it so easily. I don’t know how she does it either. She can kick all her friends’ and my friends’ butts in Bust A Move on N64–Like all the kids’ old school games. She plays them on hardest difficulty too. But she won’t even step near a game of Call of Duty or Counter-Strike, or even Contra. She’s bad at any game with guns …

Hahahaha, after reading this blog I remembered back in the old days when I could take on Contra without dying even once and using the weakest bullets (the white ones). Then there’s other games like Shadow of the Ninja (I think I got the name right- I played it in Japanese- called ‘Kage’”) with my brother that gave countless hours of fun.

Classics have a ruggedness to them that is irreplaceable. Don’t you agree?
