>5. Best decision.
Asking for Final Fantasy 2 for Christmas even though I disliked the NES game
>6. Top 3 favorite retro vidya.
1. Quake
2. Castlevania: SOTN
3. E.V.O: The Search for Eden
>7. Bottom, most hated retro vidya.
I think the original Castlevania games are bad, not-fun games and there are vastly better platformers on NES.
>8. In 2 sentences or less, what makes a game good?
"Kimochi ii"-- the game makes the player feel good when they play it. Responsive and accurate controls and visuals.
>9. What makes a game bad?
Lack of heart by developers. Most games are simply products now, but if you read stuff like the Megaman 2 staff talking about the production of the game, they were absolutely pouring their soul into it. Everything they had.
>10. In your favorite games, what do they all have in common, if anything?
Very responsive and tight controls.
>11. Most shameful retro sin (i.e., cheating out of pure laziness, or playing so much you fail school or get fired).
Never played through Ocarina of Time. Since Quake had just came out on PC it felt like going years backwards in time and I had zero interest in it. I also saw ALTTP as a "top of its class" game and when OoT came out I saw it as an "already defeated" game where PC games had superior controls and visuals at that point.
>12. Toughest game you've ever completed.
Dota 2 is by far harder than any other game I have ever played. If that answer doesn't count, I completed games like Kabuki, Metal Storm, Contra, Ninja Gaiden etc as a kid without cheats.
