Since I have my trusty Super Fami DX handheld and access to my games I'm going to try to beat ten SNES games this year. I can even semi confidently name some of them:

1. Lufia and the Fortress of Doom (now playing)
2. Demon's Crest
3. E.V.O: The Search for Eden
4. The Lost Vikings
5. Tales of Phantasia
6. Solstice 2: Equinox
7. Secret of Mana 2
8. Wild Trax
9. ?
10. ?

Have you beaten Lufia II already? Because it would be a real shame if you cranked through Lufia and didn't play the sequel. The two games are actually connected in a really satisfying way.

I don't yet own Lufia 2, although I gather its far superior in every way. I enjoyed Lufia initially and still do to some extent but good lord does it become a tedious back and forth and I'm now at the point where I just want to beat the damn thing. Lufia 2 should be obtainable for me here in Thailand though so I might try to make it game 9 or 10.

I'm going to refrain from getting too specific this year, since including things like platinum trophies doesn't suit my playstyle and kind of sets me up to fail. That said, I have some basic goals I want to meet:

1) Play more MP games. Easy.

2) Stop wasting money on blockbusters. There will be a few notable exceptions, but by and large, these games prove colossal wastes of money for me.

3a) Be done with a game when I'm done, not (necessarily) when credits roll.
3b) Play more endless titles.


Short and simple, but ultimately conducive to my available time and playstyle. I suspect my games beaten list for the year will suffer as a result, but that's ok.

That's actually a really good looking (and well-designed) regular NES game

[A Beta Fu7ure]

2 down, 8 to go.

Enjoyed E.V.O for what it was, it had a similar feel to some of the Quintet Enix game in tone and despite the humdrum nature of eating stuff over and over again, was curiously relaxing and addicting.

2. Demon's Crest
3. E.V.O: The Search for Eden - Beat 02/02/16
4. The Lost Vikings
