So I've been looking at Fami games again and picking out a few things I still would like to have. At the end of 2024 I got [[everdrive_n8_pro|a flash cart]], so have been trying lots of new stuff.

 +| Was always kinda grossed out by the shrunk-down, grubby-looking graphics compared to the SNES version, but it fits better on the NES I think. Actually feels pretty good and not Eurojanky. ||

Not sure I even have an opinion of it, maybe it's not very good, I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but it's probably a pretty good go at recreating a sport that would be pretty impossible to get right, and some of the sound effects and music are great. |||

 +| Gave this a proper go in 2025 after, I think, just assuming that I'd played it emulated ages ago and thought it was just like //Kirby's Dreamland// with nice colours and the copy ability added. There's so much more to it though, it's really good, maybe my favourite after the GB game, or maybe I like the [[kirby_and_the_forgotten_land|Switch one]] more… Oh right, I forgot my actual face //kirbys_dream_course// ||

 +| This is a ROM hack of the NES version of //[[Metroid]]// that removes all the creatures. I thought it'd be nice to run and jump around and just look at things, but an interesting side effect is that it's actually quite tricky as your health and missiles only refill when you find upgrades. |||
