Not quite sure why I keep bringing the Gutstank back. Fond memories of the Summer of '89 when I was stuck at camp for a week, knowing Megaman 2 was at home (and I hadn't played it yet), and I had the Nintendo Power issue with it to make it even more agonizing a wait.

I miss the days when games were less ubiquitous and there was more of a chance to find "diamonds in the rough." Playing games like Castlevania, Megaman and the like without knowing they had a legacy and were 'supposed' to be good.

Of course, it may just be the spare time I miss, too - having enough time to beat games like Milon's Secret Castle not because I WANTED to, but because they were there and needed to be beaten. :D
