I think a map is the worst thing to happen to the Metroid series. |

I don't think I'd ever be able to play a Metroid game to completion without a map (which I haven't done anyway, as I've already mentioned). Wouldn't it be kind of problematic if you didn't play for a while? I guess there's still the old "make your own" meta-gaming technique.
As for Castlevania, I haven't played a modern one that didn't feel wildly anachronistic to me. I don't know, I've never followed the series at all so I guess I'm out of the loop.

Well, that is kind of the point. For the original I had to learn and re-learn all my different routes through out the game. If a game is designed around not having a map then you don't need one. Metroid 2 solves the no map by restricting how far back you can go. It is really excellent although the lava does not really make sense in and of itself. |

I think leveling up was the worst thing to happen to the Castlevania series.
As such I think I hate Curse of Darkness.

The best thing you can say about Curse of Darkness is that it's a better class of dungeon crawler than the whole Dark Alliance thing we've been subjected to over the last few years.
Oh and the music is nice. Kinda SoTN fan-arrangement-y. |

Mega Man 2 totally > MM 3.
I mean, comeon -- Inafune himself says it's his favorite game in the series. That game was such a sweet sequel. The team loved what they were doing on Mega Man 2. Better levels, better art, better music; more levels, more gadgets, awesome platform and enemy placement. And one of the best last boss encounters ever.
That's one fine Mega Man game. |

there's also the law of diminishing returns.

Shit man! Did you even finish the game?!
Anyway! Megaman Legends is as much of a Megaman game as... Zelda is a Mario game.
If you really want to get pedantic.

No, but with good reason. I can't get my emulator to balance itself out. It is either running too fast or it is running fine, but the settings don't dictate which is going to happen, the emulator just decides to run it as fast or as normal as it wants whenever. For about every one hour I played the game I would spend 15 min messing with the settings and I never even figured out what it was that I would do to fix it.
Anyways, I made it about 10 hours in before I gave up on the emulator. I have my save state waiting to be picked up when I can find a steady emulator.
I also have the sequel PS1 game! OHHH....
All said and done, I like the original MM games better, but it is not as bad as I remembered Megaman 64 to be. It has quite a few issues that may get resolved or overshadowed if I finished it. |

hmm. the original analogy was pretty confusing.
Which Bomberman game is the best? I see Generations getting some good reviews. |

I love Bomberman in all (most) incarnations but the one I'm most familiar with is the TG-16 version. You could have, 5 players with the turbo-tap? I know I did this once; it involved tracking down almost everyone with a TurboGraphx in the region. I mean, all four of them.

i've got bomberman 94 on the pc engine, and i just bought my multi-tap. unfortunately i only have one controller still. i will attest however that bomberman 94 is my favorite, and the only one i know of with a really fun one-player mode.
bomberman 64 is also excellent. it has entirely different play mechanics, though, so it wouldn't be fair to compare them.

General wisdom points to the SNES Super Bomberman 2 as the definative version. The Saturn was is supposedly pretty good too, but I'm not a fan of its single player mode at all. The only reason I'm really making this post is to warn everyone against the DS version. It's a tragedy.

Bomberman '94 is excellent, but I've only ever played it through emulation. Nice balance of extra features without being cluttered.
And I really like 64, but yeah; totally different playstyle. It was a nice way of actually making use of the 3D element though. It wasn't too derivative of its predecessors.
