I really want one of those little creepers!

Last count there were 5 million paid Minecraft users, and several more million playing the free version. So there's quite a fan base out there. Even if a tiny fraction of those people buy the Lego set I'm sure it'll be worth it for Lego (and Mojang.)

I downloaded this on your recommendation since I was looking for an new game for my iPod touch now that I'm tired of Pew Pew. It's fun to kill a few minutes, which is exactly what I was looking for. I also noticed the touch controls are a little off sometimes, though nothing too bad or game breaking (so far). But it's hard to tell if that is because it didn't register the button press or if I missed the button altogether. It's hard to know without any sort of physical feed back (like you get when you push a button on a controller.)

From someone who grew up with a Gameboy (yes the very original), and one who got this game when it was released, I greatly appreciate this post! =) I'm not sure I have it anymore, but in recent years as I was playing through the Zelda series, I played this game again on the emulator.

That's awesome, Jon! I remember my college years, I set out to play Final Fantasy VIII at least once each year. Well, that lasted a few years. The last time I played that game was pretty interesting because I now have a 50" Plasma and played the game on my PS3, although I didn't finish it. It is awesome that there are certain games that we truly cherish, that mean so much to us. You're making me think of the days when I lived in Texas and was playing this Zelda game, I really enjoyed it and I really enjoyed having a Gameboy. I wasn't fortunate enough to have a NES or SNES until I got older, the Gameboy was my system. I think my old Gameboy (along with my sister's Gameboy) may still be around here. It was such an amazing thing when it came out. I believe this Zelda game did get a remake for the Gameboy Color, maybe that's the version I played in recent years in an emulator.

This is one of my all time favorite games. I liked the modern setting (which is rare for RPGs), the humor, and the art style. One of the coolest things about this game was the strategy guide that came with the game. The guide is written like a travel guide, including ads and news paper clippings from the towns you visit in the game and it is actually really fun to read. I even still have the scratch-n-sniff cards that came with it even though they have long lost their scent.

In fact, I just really miss how awesome the manuals for games use to be. I remember getting the original Zelda and just looking through the manual at all the art work and reading the descriptions of the various enemies.

I finally played Earthbound in recent years on an emulator. I beat it, but I was cheating, too. LOL What can I say? I like cheating in video games. I didn't know about this game until I played Super Smash Bros.
