Bio-Hazard Battle (Genesis)
Chew Man Fu (TG16)
The Legend of Zelda: Orcarina of Time (N64)

Fair warning, Zelda OoT takes a BIG chunk of flash memory...I had 1110...it's now at 824...286 blocks in total...but it only takes 1 block to create a save file...at least Nintendo got that part right
 
Re: Ocarina of Time!!!

Okay, here's my quick run down about Zelda OoT. It is a DIRECT PORT from the N64, nothing fancy like the Zelda OoT port on GameCube. However, the graphics seem to be a bit polished-up. Saving the game is quick and easier just like the N64 original. Only downside is this game sucks up alot of internal memory (which I posted about in another thread).

Controls are exactly like the GameCube version however, you have to use the right thumb stick to play the Orcarina...OR you can use Y and X as the left and right C buttons...but the middle C button can be either ZR or ZL

I noticed some sound issues, but you rarely hear them, except when you go into the sub-menu or walk out of a door. (These sounds are caused by sound chip collision during porting, which happened to Majora's Mask on N64 when it was put on a GameCube disc)...however in this Zelda OoT, it's extremely minor and will not effect your enjoyment.

Is it worth it? Yes, simply because it's Zelda OoT. Yet if you already own a copy of this on Cube or N64..then don't bother. The game does handle very smoothly I must say.
