Gaming Steve asks, "I was asked which game I would love to see come out for the Nintendo Virtual Console / Xbox Live Arcade / PlayStation Network. It was a tricky question as there are so many games I would love to play again from my childhood, but right at the very top of my list was one of my favorite games of all time, StarTropics.
So imagine my shock when I heard that Nintendo was releasing StarTropics for the Virtual Console ... today!
What game from your childhood would like to see re-released?"
Despite skyrocketing retro game prices the NES remains a deep trove of excellent games that, if you can avoid eBay sellers, are really quite affordable for new collectors.
Double Dragon 2 is one of the best!! Several good games on this list! Shadowgate, P.O.W., and Klax. That is actually a super fun puzzle game! TMNT, I think every time after the seaweed, I only had like 1 Turtle left. lol
So yeah, that infamous Startropics "dip the letter to reveal the password" code? It's not in the Nintendo Switch Online version. Bummer.
I remember the code still

"Players usually remain safe and separate from the games they are playing. They are free to wreak havoc and violence in their digital world with no consequences. It’s a safety barrier that creates a comfortable level of escapism that most games share. Shatter that safety barrier and you create a sense of immersion that can be powerful, emotional, and sometimes unsettling."
Honourable mention to PT for making me think my console was haunted lol. Remember the reboot to main menu and debug screens? Even the pause menu had a hidden clue in it.
Golgo 13 for sure!
Dude, I have no freaking idea why Nintendo dropped Star Tropics but they need to pick it back up. My game(s) though would have to be Ranger X, a TRUE sequel to Chronotrigger, updated Illusion of Gaia, River City Ransom, and anything from Treasure.
the new versions of both franchises suck. I hate Traveler's Tales and Vicarious Visions for that.
alex the kidd, the one that was built into the master system
Contra with some network Co-Op would be sweet.
