#190 – Tecmo Super Bowl (NES)
I learned the rules to American Football just so I can play this game (I’m not from the U.S) and man was it fun. This game has that addiction factor where you just keep coming back for more. The Super Bowl seems to be a huge thing in the U.S and I thought playing it on an old system like the Nintendo wouldn’t do it justice. But I was wrong, I don’t know what a real Super Bowl is like but this old game seems a cut above the rest as far as sport games from the older generation consoles go. And just for that it deserves a place among the greats.
#189 – Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (GBA)
I very disappointed by the fact that most of the Fire Emblem games haven’t been localized. The Sacred Stones on the GBA is one of the few which have been and I’d say good choice. Fire Emblem’s bread and butter is the addicting turn-based strategy battles and The Sacred Stones has a polished battle system to say the least. The plot interested me a great deal (although I have seen many say otherwise) and so did the characters and their interactions. If you’re looking for a great SRPG on the GBA look for the Fire Emblem series not a poor man’s Final Fantasy Tactics i.e Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. *Shudders*
