Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 thread.

This was my first game ever. Ever. I recently remembered it and I completed it on a site that had it online.

'Tis still fun as fuck. Anyone here that had played it?

I have played like all the Wario games, including the shitty WarioWare ones, except the virtual boy and the first one. Maybe I should give it a try.

Bump.

Also one of the rare platformers I liked.
Lost Vikings were awesome.

One reason I liked Trine is because after first 10 minutes of gameplay my reaction was THE LOST VIKINGS! That feeling never left me throughout the game.

I much preferred the second one, but I also played it first so it may be hard to judge. LV just frustrated me a lot, whereas LV2 always felt tough in the good way.

Such an oddity at the time, still kind of odd now. Shame the sequel made it a more straightforward platformer, but I loved playing it with friends. Still not completed a random world to this day.

I drew this for the /vg/ drawthread.
Both of them past their funkadelic years, after opening their office and such.

That game was amazing. Finished it alone and with 3 different bros, and from time to time I pick it up on my PSP to just get some boxes and visit floor 0 to chill in the jacuzzi.

This is a gem of a game. Played the second one when I was a kid, fell in love with it and then, many years later, I found out it was the sequel that I played and not the first on the series. Played that shit with my ~~girlfriend~~ after discovering it was a roguelike and had the most fun I've had with video games in years. We even got out of a randomized world alive, that satisfaction at the end, jesus.

Trying to get all the items in Secret of Evermore is boring as shit. Also a lot of the puzzles/ labyrinths are infuriating. Didn´t age well IMO.

Is a remake of a game released before 1999 considered retro? Eg. the Dragon Quest remakes for DS.

It actually has more claim to being 'retro' than the original does.

'Retro' refers to contemporary art made in the style of older, out-of-date art. Games from before 1999 aren't retro, they're just old.

I'm not much of a fan of the Dragon Quest series.
But if there's something amazing that I'm pissed no one copied on the other games, which is absolutely retarded as it's an amazing idea is the party chat.

Man I had so much fun and loved the DS remakes just because of that.
