And Happy Birthday!   

Thank you. I played Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout all day long. 

I find rating difficulty hard to do sometimes, because looking back on some games and re-playing them later changes things. For my thread I rated Tiny Toon 9/10 in difficulty, since that was my impression the first time I beat it years ago (mostly due to the last stage). Replayed it a couple of weeks ago, and I'm more on a 7/10 now. Do you ever look back on your old reviews unsure about the ratings?

Imagine how much more time you'd have to play if you didn't write so much! i enjoy reading and comparing my experiences on the same games, i dont have a set list like you i just play whatever i think i have time for and then every so often force myself to play something i know is longer or higher difficulty

I find writing helps keep me on track and focused on the overall goal, and also helps give me time to reflect on what is good about each game.  Sometimes that can be hard to find!  I know that I could be a lot farther along without the writing but I kinda enjoy it and besides, I'm too far along now to just stop.

Felix was actually my first game I purchased with my own money at Funcoland as a kid. Second NES game I ever beat, first being Super Mario Bros 3.

That's awesome, good choice!  Felix the Cat is about a perfect first NES game.  I'm guessing it was easier to play than Mario 3.

Yeah, good game, seems like Tecmo often makes quality titles.. but probably the most tiring game physically due to the button mashing. Played it a lot as a kid, and its a game I associate with cramps in arms. Seems like you found the giant swing exploit. That makes the game considerably easier.
