regarding mario world perhaps the person who wrote in was including more than actual rounds.
Maybe they where including rounds that had 2 ways out which a lot did also including ghost houses.
Never had the md but the snes was an amazing machine.
I TRIED BEFORE I BOUGHT BANJO KAZOOIE WOW AMAZING GAME.
I LIKED THE FACT IN ZELDA THAT THERE WHERE NO CLUES NEVER EVER USED A GUIDE.
it is always a good idea to try before you buy but i honestly expected a 92% rated game to be decent, bart's nightmare was a huge disappointment. Took me a month to save for it as well because i was only making £12.50 a week from my paper run. Was enough to satisfy my gaming addiction though, spending a couple of quid every weekend on sf2 in the arcade.
The super play reviewers were idiots though. Someone wrote in to point out that they were wrong when they said mario world has 96 levels when it really has 74. They responded: "no it doesn't it has 96". They can't even admit they are wrong, 2 exits in one level does not equal 2 levels.
I always felt the the original zelda on the nes was over rated. It was nigh on impossible to get through without a player's guide. Way too much trial and error in finding things like bombable walls and the right bushes to burn. Zelda 3 at least indicated a bombable wall with a crack on it, although not all cracks would bomb open.
If the company from eternal sunshine of a spotless mind was a real thing i'd ask them to erase my knowledge on zelda 3 and all the 2d mario platformers. I'm glad i was around to experience the 16 bit era when it was new and get to experience arcades when they were at their best. Personally i don't think there's much post 16 bit that's worth playing. I really enjoy my arcade classics compilations on the ps2. I've got all the midway compos, taito classics and capcom classics volume 1. Volume 1 has the 3 sf2s on it. The street fighter collection on ps1 was a bit **** because of its load times but the ps2 has a decent bit of ram in it so it can hold more of the game and has better load times.
As much as i love the mega drive anyone who says it's better than the snes is wrong. The snes was the first to bring true arcade quality to the home. Arcade games like sf2 and smash tv were fantastic on the snes. I always felt that the snes was more of a proper gamers' system than the md. In high school most of the md owners had huge collections of ea's boring sports sims and every year ea would bring out the same old sport games (and still do this to this day): A fifa an nhlpa and an nba jam, yawn. For my md i have the only ea stuff worth having: Road rash and robocod. Sf2 on the md was pretty unplayable because of its terrible directional pad.
I collected Retro Gamer from the very beginning, still have them but cancelled my sub a few years ago now as it was very expensive getting them sent to Australia.
