I spent the weekend playing Star Tropics, an old adventure game for the NES. I had never heard of it before and went in having no expectations. It has turned out to be a surprisingly fun game so far.
The style and gameplay are similar to the original Zelda. Instead of a sword, you get a little yo-yo thing called a "star thrower". I think the storyline is actually a lot more interesting than Zelda was. So far I've rescued a dolphin, woken up a king's daugher, been swallowed by a whale, and had a fortune teller transform me into a woman (with a masculine voice) to sneak into a castle.
