I no longer live near Miami, so I'm not obligated to buy any of that crap. However, living in Orlando does bring certain obligations that require me to purchase a lot of bad Disney games.

Anyway, Blaster Master is pretty cool, but other than that nothing here really interests me.  Truth be told I'm not even sure I could beat Blaster Master anymore. Without the slow button that the NES Advantage had, too many of those bosses would be way too tough for me now.  

I'm just wondering where the hell NightSky is.  They said it would be released in December.  We're half way through December dammit.  We need that game soon.

To be fair with GG, anything he sees reminds him of a penis.

I have this controller, which has a Slow button!


I've never used it before, but if the game is like you say, then I'll certainly give it a try. Grinning

It becomes extremely helpful during some of the middle and late stage boss fights (assuming this slow button is a rapid fire start/pause button).  Plus it actually works seemlessly in this game since Sunsoft's pause is actually just a screen freeze as opposed to a separate menu.  

Regardless it's a very fun game, and for $5 worth every penny.

It's the only place where a penis such as mine can get its due respect.
