Whenever I play Earthbound via vSNES, all the other character sprites but Ness are gone in the start of the game. How do I fix this? If anyone's encountered this problem before, please tell me.

Alright, here's a review for Karnov on the NES, I'm just JUMPING for joy. Well, the box says "KARNOV, the fire-breathing Russian, is seeking the Lost Treasure of Babylon. He runs, swims, jumps, climbs and flies through nine levels of game play". Sounds simple enough, let's start. After hitting start, Karnov is sent flying to the ground on a... lightning bolt? What the...? Okay, I won't question it. Now, the main controls are jumping and shooting projectiles that look like your own skin. OH wait! He's supposed to be a fire-breathing Russian! He certainly looks like the stereotypical tough Russian guy, with the mustache, the big, bulging muscles, and a bald head. And I guess he's breathing fireballs. The main goal of the game, it seems, is to collect items and get through the level. There are objects such as K's that give you points, bombs that... I don't know what they do (I guess they're a special attack?), and ladder icons that allow you to shoot two projectiles. I don't understand... why does a ladder icon make you shoot two fireballs as opposed to one? And why is it that if he collects K's, he gets points? Since my name starts with M, if I was walking down the street, and I saw a letter M and picked it up, I'd gain imaginary "points"? Well, I won't argue with gaming logic. Most of the enemies are weird rock-monster-looking-guys that throw boulders and shiver as if they're cold, imps, and at one point I swear two soldiers wearing green came from underground and attacked me with swords. If you get hit by any of these numbskulls once, you turn blue, and so do your projectiles. Two hits and you're dead, by the way. But you can save yourself, for if you see a little orange orb in the air and you touch it, you'll turn orange again and you can survive until you're hit twice again. The controls aren't that bad, I mean, they're all responsive, the physics are fine, not much to complain about. It's kind of hard, I couldn't get past the first level, but maybe I just suck at these side-scrolling shooters. So, seven on difficulty. The story, what little there is, is pretty generic. Trying to find the mysterious Lost Treasure, ooh boy, how exciting. Four for the story. The game is a nice length, with nine levels, but the game is basically the same thing throughout, go shoot enemies and get objects. The game doesn't have much for you to do, and most NES gamers will be able to finish it pretty quickly. The depth of the game is a six. Addictiveness isn't very high. I probably won't play this game again for awhile, because it's simply not fun enough for me. I think I'll give the addictiveness a rating of five. The sound and graphics are nice. The music's not bad, the sound effects are fine, Karnov looks well-done, with nice detail. (One funny thing about the music, the game over music is not fitting at all. It's a nice, upbeat, happy tune. It's like "Yay, I died! That game was so horrible I wanted to die!") Seven each for graphics and sound. My overall rating of this not-so-great classic is a 6.3. If you want to waste time on a rainy day and there's nothing else to do for a few hours, it's one of the games that could entertain you for a bit before you put it on your shelf and forget about it.

I personally like Majora's Mask and Wind Waker more... and hey, who HASN'T played this game?

It's just a crappy Homebrew hack, you don't have to rant on it. Also, saying "God is perfect" is pointless in this and it can be offensive to people who aren't Christians.

I'm still wondering if PS1, Sega Saturn or Dreamcast, or hell, even Sega CD games can be on it. If it can only be cartridge-based games, then it wouldn't work because they're CDs, right? That would suck, I'd have to look for a bunch of emulators, and since I have a Mac, none of them are good! D: Oh well.

I don't know, I personally like FF6 the most. I think it's vastly greater than FF7 because it simply has a better story and characters. Especially characters. No offense intended to the Cloud and Sephiroth fangirls, (yes, when it comes to Sephiroth and Cloud, there are no fanboys, only fangirls) but I think that they're kind of.... emo is the word, right? Yes. Emo. Or Goth. Sephiroth is bad ass, but he fails in comparison to Kefka. Kefka's just so... funny, delightful, disturbing, evil, insane, illogical, artistic, intelligent, and frightening, all at the same time. Also, Kefka's final form is incredible, his theme, Dancing Mad, is even better than One-Winged Angel, he was crazy to begin with while Sephiroth was a hero-turned-villain, and let's face it, Kefka actually DOES destroy the world when Sephiroth only tries to. Also, at least Kefka can't get killed in one hit, like Sephiroth. Honestly,

Hello there, I'm EarthboundFTW. I'm still also kinda new on Vizzed.

In all Pokémon games, you get one starter, and to get the others you NEED to trade or hack. Thought you'd know that if you were playing a Pokémon game.

Oh. I see then, they're not actually playable. Thanks for clearing that up.

Awesome. But only one question: when will they be ready to be played? I can't find a play button, so I'll assume they're not ready yet.

"More Than Meets The Eye"-Testament. --I love this band so much.

Oh no. Not this. Not Action 52. Anything but this- I know, I might as well give my opinion on this horrendous "game". Action 52 makes me ashamed. I can't believe that an actual human being designed this. Or maybe a human DIDN'T design this. Maybe a monkey did. For that matter, maybe a goldfish designed it. Anyways, imagine being a kid in 1991. You hear about Action 52, a cartridge with 52 action-packed games all for a convenient price of $199.00! That's about the price you'd pay for a video game console, but it's fifty-two games in one! It was like a dream come true! More games! WOO-HOO!... Then, you'd play it. And the first thing you see are the awful graphics. There are some games that look literally like puke, and some that can cause eye strain. You hear the horrendous music, which is worse than listening to a cat getting chopped up in a blender. You groan in agony at the annoying controls, inconsistent difficulty, games that make no sense, and the unoriginality of the games. There are ten space shooters, yeah, TEN, and TWENTY PLATFORMERS! And these games are supposed to be original?! I don't see any originality here. Some games are weird as can be, like one where you play as a pair of fingers, there are upside-down doors in the background, and when you hit enemies, they say "Time?". The controls are abysmal. To jump, you press B. Not A, like in Super Mario Brothers, but B. And, if you hold down the button like you'd do instinctively, it locks you in place, so you have to tap the B button and then tap forward on the Directional-Pad (an example of this would be "Ooze"). Also, controls can be stiff. Some games are far too easy, and some are too hard! In "Storm Over The Desert", everything you touch explodes! And in "Underground", you can't win! The terrible controls don't make it any easier, too. The enemies in the games are random stuff thrown together. In one game, you shoot at... safety pins. SAFETY PINS ARE ENEMIES IN A VIDEO GAME. What were they thinking? Were they running out of time, or money, or something? There's no story. Absolutely none. You're given 3 menus with 52 games in all, and you have to choose one. Some games have problems with proportions as well. In "Storm Over The Desert", you're greeted with a GIANT Saddam Hussein! And in "Evil Empire", your character is so small you'd need a magnifying glass! And there's more problems that I can't go into a lot of depth about. With lack of enemies, games that crash, dying in midair, odd characters, far too many space shooters and platformers, tiny sprites, random characters, misleading titles, misleading power-ups, bad menus, embarrassing weapons, seizure-inducing graphics, and tons of other bad things, Action 52 is probably the 3rd worst game EVER, only behind Rocky And Bullwinkle for the NES and E.T. for Atari 2600. I give Action 52 a 0.5 out of 10. Just... wow. 

Well, I'M listening to: "The Frayed Ends Of Sanity"-Metallica.

@AuraBlaze: Well, in answer to those questions:I don't really know how I got to Vizzed in the first place. I think I was looking for online versions of some random games, and I got here somehow.Other games I like? Well, there's Doom, Castlevania, Mario, Mega Man, Zelda, Metroid, Pokémon, Sonic, Metal Gear Solid, Okami, Shadow of the Colossus, and games like that.

Hello there, gamers. My name is EarthboundFTW, otherwise known as Mike. I'm new here, and I'm a little nervous, if that makes sense at all.
