The Shrine

I can't wait, I am excited =)

I loved this game as a kid, one of the few games I wish my old NESs still worked for.

I wonder if it will be as golden as it was in my youth, ah what beautiful times they were....

Can I buy your copy of RCR since you don't have a working NES to play it on?

If you really want a working NES, I may be able to help. Most of the non-working ones are due to the pin connectors (where the cart plugs into) that were just shit. I think the local games store here has some replacement ones for like $15 or so. If I'm not mistaken, it's actually a simple open and pop-in procedure, no soldering required. I can see if they have some left.

Of you can pay FAR too much for a top-loading NES. Those things are fucking rocks.

I think you'd be able to find it elsewhere for cheaper than what I would be willing to part with it for. When it comes to my videogame collection, I usually do not want to sell any of them; especially games like River City Ransom, Faxanadu, Captain Skyhawk, Dracula's Cruise, *cough*-RBI 2000 etc....

I actually have one copy, this one would be for a friend. Funnily enough, I found that copy at Microplay in Charlottetown! Those fools were letting it go for $6.

Just buy it for the GBA. Play through it normally the first time, then go totally nuts and create god-beings to demolish the game with.

One of the best remakes I've ever played.

No 2-player FTL.

River City Ransom™ (NES®, 1-2 players, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older-Mild Suggestive Themes and Mild Violence, 500 Wii Points): River City Ransom takes place in River City, where our heroes, Alex and Ryan, find a letter on Ryan’s locker from a guy named Slick. The letter says that Ryan’s girlfriend, Cyndi, has been kidnapped, and Slick has taken River City hostage with the help of countless gangs and evil bosses. It’s up to our heroes to save poor Cyndi and free River City from the clutches of Slick and his underlings. You can play as Alex and take on the challenge alone or battle with two players simultaneously as Alex and Ryan. Kick and punch to fight your way through gang members, evil bosses and other goons, or use a variety of weapons including a chain whip, brass knuckles and a tire, to name a few. Raise your stats by eating right, and gain new techniques by reading books. With your fighting prowess and never-ending spirit, the bad guys won’t know what hit them.

Phantasy Star™ III Generations of Doom (Sega Genesis, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone-Mild Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): As Rhys, the crown prince of the Orakian kingdom of Landen, you are engaged to be married to Maia, a woman from a rival kingdom. But Maia is kidnapped on your wedding day, setting you on a quest filled with twists and turns that will reintroduce you to people and places from previous Phantasy Star games. This epic spans several generations of characters, and your choices will dramatically impact the way the story unfolds, which makes it a great game to play all the way through more than once. In Phantasy Star III, things aren’t always what they seem-check it out and watch the mysteries unfold. For more information about Wii, please visit wii.com.

BARF!

BARF!

As I have discovered through much play; this is another one of those games that aged extremely well. This is a game that new and experienced gamers alike can pick up and have a lot of fun with.
