Well, I 100% NHL 94 Rewind, and in fairly easy fashion as well. The only tough part was the achievement where you had to actually be behind with 3 minutes to go, then pull your goalie and win the game. The problem was that I played so effortlessly (from the tons of hours of playing the original), that losing on purpose was actually hard at first before I remembered I could skate basically into my own net. After that, it only took a few tries to make it happen. I did have a good chuckle at all of the comments that said it was hard to score in this game. Apparently they weren’t old enough to remember this game in the first place and furthermore weren’t aware of the angles that make scoring fairly easy.
Moving on to Peggle 2 for Xbox One. I have now beat all 60 levels and their 60 trials. I am over half on the objectives. That might get completed by Christmas, it might not. I’m not going to force it and have the headache to go with it. I kinda want to play River City Girls next, but I looked this up today and realized that River City Ransom actually got a $5 port for Xbox One? Why do I not have this? This is my favorite game on the NES of all time. Even if it takes about as much time as NHL 94 Rewind, it’s still worth the $5 effort (supposedly this is part of a collection on the Switch).
Here are the sales for this week:

There isn’t too much going on here to be honest. But I guess there again had to be some sort of let down as we get closer to the actual Christmas holiday. Far Cry and the usual assortment of Tom Clancy adventures. On the Xbox One side, unfortunately I’m going to hold out on the Mafia remasters until the UK Trilogy disc gets to a reasonable price (at this point it would still cost me about $50 including shipping to get it here). UK corporate shipping prices are absolutely ridiculous ever since COVID. They have absolutely no reason to charge $20 for one game to get shipped here. My only hope is that some third party seller gets a copy and charges a reasonable price for that service. Anyway, hope you have a great weekend and enjoy.
