Pure Nintendo: "I’ll be honest my fellow gamers, this game is HARD. I put this game up as one of my many examples of what is considered “NES Difficult” and sadly, that difficulty may push some people away. Granted it sounds like I’ve been bashing this game throughout the review, but all in all, its still a solid Mario title. Coming from a gamer that has beaten it from 1-1 to D-4, the bragging rights alone feel fantastic. To say that you’ve beaten a game that did not receive a Western release simply due to its difficulty feels very rewarding. It’s almost like a personal test as a gamer. Can you beat a game that at one point was considered to difficult for the American market?"

Funny, I was playing the Halo 2 campaign on hard last night, I forgot how hard that game was.
Triverse writes, "The Sega Master System (SMS) did not get a fair chance in North America due to Nintendo’s illegal policies. That has not stopped fans from supporting the console long after its commercial demise. Grail of the Gods (GotG) is one such new release for the SMS. If you are a fan of classic, some would say archaic, computer action role-playing games (RPG) then you might remember one called Sword of Fargoal, published by Epyx for the Commodore 64 and Vic-20 computers. If not, well, give Grail of the Gods a play and you will have pretty much played Sword of Fargoal."
Looks similar to Dragon Crystal. I used to have that back in the 90s. Tough game, I could never get very far in it.
Triverse writes, Fans of the venerable arcade fighting game series, Samurai Shodown, probably already know about the role-playing game (RPG) spin-off from the 90’s. That game is now available in English for the Neo Geo CD-ROM for the first time (I think it is the first time). Samurai Shodown RPG was also released on the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn around the same time, both inferior to the Neo Geo CD version in various ways (mostly animation)."
I didn't know this game even existed, but a turn based RPG of Samurai Showdown sounds lit!
