I played Kirby‘s Dream Land today. I am attempting to get into Kirby. I loved how rough and scrappy the gameplay was. I tried the extra game afterward but it was frankly too hard and I stopped having fun!! I wish I’d held left + B to get the monochrome GBC palette, because sometimes those prescribed palettes that Nintendo assigned their pre-GBC games break when background elements are animated using sprites, and it looks like shit. That was the case with Dream Land.
I think I've finished about a dozen games in the last three months, I'll try to recall them all:
I'm still doing this thing where I look up a game on howlongtobeat.com and only play it if it comes in at or under 10 hours (obviously made an exception for FF1 so that I could then also make an exception for Stranger of Paradise). It's great. I'm playing games I worried I'd never get around to checking out. I used to recklessly dive into a game without knowing about how long it was going to take me and end up with a 40-60hr+ investment on my hands that would take me months, sometimes years to finish (in Platinum's case, two) mostly because I'd have almost a half dozen of them bunched up at once. Those days are over!!
