Just beat Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) -- 3/10 First time I've ever played it. Probably took around 20 hrs to beat it. Having a power outage during a storm when I was in World 5, playing through all worlds, didn't help. Took about 10 tries to beat Bowser.

I really, really, really dislike this game. I don't think there was ever a point where I was having fun.

The fortress bosses are pathetically easy with, what, two different flavors -- ones that can float for a bit and ones that can't? Having to go through the screen when using the pipes is just an annoying waste of time (and what's the point of them having timers?). Outside of the SMB1 themes that were reused, I found the music to be awful.

I got to where I just searched out something to extremely shorten the game and found out about the warp whistles. After that I just picked up the first two whistles, played through World 1, and then warped to World 8. I despise auto-scrolling stages in anything other than a shmup, which made the several ship stages in World 8 extremely annoying.

I guess the Fortune Cookie really wants me to play an Atari 2600 game.

Another vote for Spyro from me, but I can already tell it will lose, Dragon Quest and Shin Megami Tensei promise that outcome.

How have you found reading from it?

I though SMW was good enough to beat twice. And there is a book in the options, so you can always choose that.

I'm actually excepting Spyro to win.

I'm kind of curious as to how you came to that conclusion.
