Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time (GameCube)

Oh no! I think the ennui may be coming back! Played this for about fifteen minutes last night, but got really frustrated in Jabu Jabu’s Belly and switched it off in a fit of pique. I’m such a contrary sod at times. It was purely down to me being rubbish, of course. But I was

415 metres! That’s not bad! At least it puts easy level’s goal of 500 metres within reach. I’m scared to look at the records page, though, because it counts how many times each mode has been played :-/

Mr Driller 2 (GBA)

Nyaaah! This is the hardest game in the universe. FACT. I bought it about three years ago and played it for about five minutes, largely because it made no sense and I’d convinced myself it was a puzzle game. Well, it is – kind of. But it’s a puzzle game on acid, recorded on film,

The only annoying bit was trying to switch off flames using my catapult when I didn’t have any ammunition, so I had to rummage around looking for stuff. What didn’t help was the whole family going ‘BOOP! BOOP! BOOP!’ along with the GameCube

Was having a wee play of the Zelda Collector’s Disk for the gamecube (which is basically, Legend of Zelda, Adventures of Link, Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask running under emulation on the GameCube). Anyway, it started off as a brief go and then it turned into a ‘my God, I forgot how ACE this

I’ve been tinkering today. Had a go of Castlevania and got stuck at a boss. I wasn’t really in the mood for the exploreyness, which is a serious drawback in Castlevania, given that the central drive of the game is colouring in the map. So, quick go of Fire Emblem. Failed utterley on Chapter 5
