I was born in 82 so I suppose I'm younger than the average person on this forum (just guessing) and we had two 13" B/W tvs at home. One belonged to my older brother and we would stay up late watching Quantum Leap on Wednesday nights and doing speed runs of the first level in SMB . But anyway, even in the late 80s, early 90s, B/W TVs were pretty common. Also, the B/W switch on the atari is useful for changing the color in variation 23 of Video Olympics. The normal color palette burns my retinas!

I just saw this and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Mind showing how you did it? I'm interested in doing the same thing.

I definitely second the sentiment of a lot of people that don't have the patience anymore for long games. There are definitely exceptions when a game can be really good (I'm currently switching between Majora's Mask, AvP2 for PC, and Marathon Infinity), but for the most part I just like playing a quick game of splatform or a quick game of Mario Kart DS while I'm on the pot.

The DS goldeneye rogue agent was crap.

In my opinion, what sets this game apart from Retro Evolved, is the absolute feeling of advancement in a game. In Retro Evolved, you just start at the beginning of a game, and build up multipliers, extra lives, better guns, etc. It gets slow at the beginning and then gets really crazy...until you die and you have to start all over again. In Galaxies, you have multiple levels, each with different enemy attacks, level designs, and medal score goals. On top of that you have different drones you choose from and level up to help you along the universe. There are more diverse goals other than just getting a high score (geoms, medals, XP points), there is more strategy (should I get the drone to collect geoms, or the drone to save my butt...or maybe a sniper drone...hmm....) and that makes for a much richer gaming experience. I've heard people complain about a $5 dollar download being turned into a 30-40 dollar game (DS, Wii version respectively) but I feel it's definitely worth it. There is so much re-playability and the DS version is great to take on the go and play for a few minutes at a time. Rent it at least and give it a chance.

Good review. If I might add: I have the DS version which is really great. It doesn't have all the fancy eyecandy like the xbox and wii versions, but the controls are solid and the gameplay is still intact and that's all that matters.

I have an r4 and I'm loving it! I've tried a whole bunch of emulators and homebrew which work fine, no patching. Just drag and drop.

No love for Goldeneye toilet? Bummer... But I love number one. Totally deserved it.

Well, you know those internet videos that tell you to stare at something for a long time, and it's a video of a serene landscape with butterflies and what not and then all of a sudden a zombie just jumps into frame scaring the be-jeebes out of you? I was expecting one of those watching this.

I was expecting a zombie to jump out at any minute...
