    Ironically you can cheat because as long as you exit the game before you run out of lives, you can reload from the same spot as many times as you want. But they also include a "high score" mode with separate leaderboards which disables saving, 

    That never occurred to me. Wondered about all those insane scores (duh!!).  Guess I'll be mostly playing in high score mode from now on.

    I am watching The Shapeshifting Detective and will pick it up. Not quite out in the UK yet - next week I think. They also did "The Bunker". I have not played this but does look pretty good.

     

    I completed Night Shift last night, on the Switch. Much easier compared to the original versions (due to the thumbnails showing movement). Not yet achieved a perfect score but pleased I have finally completed after pretty much 25 years playing !!

     

    Feel like I'm cheating using the moving thumbnails!! No movement seems really difficult to figure out.

    It's awesome that you guys are still gaming. I hope I never stop, but right now I'm finding it hard to devote a lot of time to longer story-driven or open world games.

     

    All I can say about that is thank goodness for checkpoints. I only game for about an hour or so a day. Some days not all, or on days off, more. But I try to anticipate checkpoints or something else that allows me stop around the time I want to when I'm playing those kinds of games.

    so when I do get into a game, it may be 30min or 4 hours plus, but it better damn well be a fun one.

     

    Exactly. If a game gets too hard this days, I lose interest real quick. Not going to waste my limited gaming time being extremely frustrated in order to "git gud."

     

    Thank you for posting your experience.....good reviews were getting me to consider buying Dark Souls. Don't need the aggravation.

    I often hear that you have to be at least 50 years old today to even like "pre-NES" games

     

    Not true...I'm 49.

     

    Anyway, I'm just now playing NES games due to the NES Classic and Switch Online. After being heavily into gaming from around 79-83...I lost interest by the time NES was on the market. I can't recall even knowing anyone who had one. Didn't start paying attention again until a friend of mine showed me the Sega Genesis. I enjoy games no matter when they came out. I still dig Pong. Back in the PS2 days....I went hardcore retro and was only playing VCS, Colecovision, O2 and Intellivision. Let my kids use the PS2 as a DVD player. I play everything now.

     

     

     

     

    Funnily enough, I've just read precisely that earlier on today :)

     

    Switch Online proves, once again, that NES games aren’t that good

     

    And some comments below on n4g:

     

     

    Sounds familiar? But okay, I'm sure these people are just some irrelevant guys from the internet, and it's your opinion that really matters :)

     

    Indeed, I love these "new to me" NES games!! Solomon's Key :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

    I skipped it the first time and feel nothing about the remake. Yes it was used in the congressional hearings about violence in video games. The big irony is that testimony all took place the day before DOOM came out.

     

    Enjoy your dumb game! RIP Dana Plato.

     

    Been though it few times now. Must say I really enjoy this "dumb" game. It is dumb that's for sure....but I dig it!!!

    Once I got the hang of the Switch version, I thought it was a lot of fun. Hated the boss fights though. I gave up on the very last one at the end of the game. I'm considering playing the game again, and doing a more thorough job. Don't know if I want to download that 8 gb though. Maybe I don't have to? Anyway, I'm interested in this new one, minus boss fights.

    After burning my brain out on the stressful Hell of the Outlast Bundle, I've gotten back into SMO again. I'm only at around 450 moons, but I've been having fun. A few really nice surprises. Probably the most impressive game I've played and very relaxing (compared to Outlast).

    The not-Donkey Kong gorillas are amusing, but the gameplay just seems pointless. Contrary to whatever Nintendo must have been thinking, building poker hands out of rescued characters isn't really much of a hook.

     

    I respectfully disagree. I do indeed find a hook there.

    I really enjoy it on the switch. I haven't really played this on game so much or really the 2600 either,

     

    I never played it on the 2600 either, due to it's dismal reputation.

     

    Last night I did "High Score Mode" once. I was at 30 at the time under the name Michael.
