Hi Dark,
Yes, I clearly remember the early NES and Sega games, and you are right
on the money about the short plot lines which were all pretty much
canned stories with different characters. For example, Legend of Kage
and Double Dragon have the basic same story. Big bad bully captures
heroes
Heheh I still think Kirby is freaking awesome. He could stomp Mario, Link
and all the rest anyday of the week, and I'd be more than happy to prove
that in a game of Super Smash Bros, *grin*. But seriously, the games were
really cool. I like how there's different powers, many more than mario,

H, thom, why am I now geting the feeling that we're all going to regret
coming up with some of these boss ideas wen we actually get to fight

it at least.
Beware the Grue!

from the bouser bosses in the original Mario game, where though the boss's
difficulty didn't change much, the rooms of later levels contained more
obstacles such as flames or pits.

it wouldn't work. As a result it forced the gamer to use a different
strategy like use speed and ajility to avoid monsters, and in our
