Sometimes a villain and sometimes just another stupid monkey, Donkey Kong began as a means of recycling failed arcade cabinets and ended up launching Shigeru Miyamoto's career as a superlative game designer and laying the foundation for Nintendo's video gaming empire. Even before Mario became a household name, Donkey Kong starred in numerous arcade and handheld names, sharing the pantheon with other mascots of the arcade like Pac-Man, Q-Bert, and Frogger. Since those humble single-screen arcade beginnings, DK - and the entire Kong family - have reappeared in platformers, rhythm games, racing games, and even a... math quiz?

Psygnosis is a British developer and publisher founded nearly 40 years ago. While they made a name for themselves developing distinct titles for computer platforms like the Amiga and Atari ST, they achieved worldwide fame in 1991 with the release of Lemmings, which they ported to nearly every platform imaginable. Over time, they developed a reputation for original titles with advanced graphics, which caught the attention of Sony as they prepared for the launch of the PlayStation. Many of the PlayStation's early standout titles were developed by Psygnosis, and they continued to develop original titles and flesh out franchises on the platform - and others - for nearly two decades afterwards. The Psygnosis portfolio is massive and diverse, even excluding the games they developed after rebranding as Studio Liverpool. Wikipedia has a comprehensive list that can be sorted and filtered to your tastes, but I've done my best to highlight some standout franchises below.

I will vote like this
Super Mario RPG - 2
The Legend of Zelda - 4
The X-Files - 5
Beyond Good & Evil - 1
Mario Kart: Double Dash - 3
I know I can’t play Mario Kart but its prolly the best game nominated,
So I had to give it some points.
If it wins at least other people will have a fun month with it.

Time to put away the Halloween decorations, the birthday cake, and the rest of the mess left behind by R2K's Birthday Extravaganza and all six franchises we covered. Here's a look at everyone who built a cake this month:
I said it in the main thread, and I'll say it again here: many, many thanks for indulging me on a milestone birthday by diving into a number of special games from my past. I know for a fact that some of the playthroughs were more enjoyable than others (Jinkies!), but I appreciate everyone who gave it a try, from those who just dipped their toes in the pool to those who grinded out a whole adventure.
Everyone who participated will have a cake icon next to their name moving forward.
Here's the final tally for November's Game of the Month:
1. The Legend of Zelda - 20 points
2. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars - 15 points
3. Mario Kart: Double Dash - 10 points
4. The X-Files - 9 points
4. Beyond Good & Evil - 9 points
6. F.E.A.R. - 8 points
Introducing The Legend of Zelda is almost a silly proposition. The humble top-down adventure game, which began life as a
Famicom Disk System launch title before porting to the
Nintendo NES as the first ever cartridge with a battery save - introduced the world to the silent protagonist link, the eponymous Princess Zelda, the mysterious Triforce, and the land of Hyrule, all of which are now synonymous with Nintendo's legendary (no pun intended) tentpole franchise. Many series tropes - the treasure chest chime, life-refilling fairies, a gauntlet of eight hidden dungeons - began here, and the game's very first line of dialogue is iconic enough to deserve it's own Wikipedia page. Unsurprisingly, while the original The Legend of Zelda has never been remade or remastered, it has been ported to nearly every iteration of Nintendo's classic games library, got its own cartridge re-release for the
Game Boy Advance, and even its own
Game & Watch-styled modern handheld.
Play The Legend of Zelda on
Nintendo NES
Game Boy Advance (Classic NES Series)
GameCube (via The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition)
Wii (Virtual Console)
Wii U (Virtual Console)
3DS (Virtual Console)
Switch (Nintendo Switch Online)
NES Classic Edition
The Legend of Zelda Game & Watch
Personally, I will be playing through a native port of The Legend of Zelda for the Super Nintendo by Infidelity. I played through his Mega Man 2 port last month and appreciated the performance and audio changes, so I'll give this one a shot as well.

Is a 3-heart run possible? I remember starting one myself, and I recall at least 1 boss heart container appeared in a narrow 1-square path to the triforce room…

I played through this for the first time a few years back when the NES Mini came out. Having a much easier time so far - I don't know if it's because of the better setup or having done this before - and made it through the third dungeon last night.
I think it's wild that, if you take the scenic route, you can get a ton of really awesome equipment before you even enter the first dungeon.

The level 1 boss starts in a 1 square path, but he'll move out if you don't kill him right away. That's the only one I can think of that could be an issue. The Gleeock hearts spawn down in the bottom corner of the room, not where it's standing.

I got to play yesterday. I forgot how much fun this game was.
Only passed the first dungeon (I think it was the first), so
far but even just wandering around and collecting items and rupees
is really fun. I found the fifth dungeon and couldnt get anywhere since I hadnt
gotten whatever I needed first to progress. But yeah this game is really
good after all these years.

I don't know if it's a bug with the Infidelity port, with the MiSTer core, or what, but a bug corrupted the graphics in a few of the dungeons yesterday. Among other things, it replaced all the non-boss enemies in the dungeon with colored old ladies.

Had trouble sleeping overnight on Friday, so I took that as an opportunity to raid Death Mountain and finish The Legend of Zelda.
I really had a blast with this. When I played on the NES Mini a few years back, I remember being happy that I was finally playing such a classic, but I was really frustrated with the controls and some of the enemy behaviors. This time around, I enjoyed myself a whole lot more. I don't know if it was because I had a better idea of what to expect, or if the SNES port was working its magic, but it was just awesome old school fun.
About that Infidelity port... It has a very light touch against the original gain, and the goal was simply performance improvements, which it achieves splendidly. However, being able to save without plugging in a second controller is great, and being able to rotate through special weapons with the L and R buttons is amazing. Such a minor little feature that makes gameplay so much more smooth.
And then, finally, late last night, I finished Shining in the Darkness.
This was my first Shining game, and another entry into a very small pile of non-Square JRPGs that I've played. The game didn't sell itself on me well - a first-person dungeon crawler for the Genesis with a steep learning curve - but I wanted to start with the beginning of the series. I decided to just muscle through it.
It was a lot better than I expected. The dungeon crawling was less janky than I expected. Battle moves more crisply. And for a game that supposedly takes place entirely underground, the character portraits and NPCs are really well drawn and have a lot of personality. I genuinely enjoyed working my way through new dungeon levels, as long as I had a map.
I also never want to play this again, unless it's like the Sega Ages re-release of Phantasy Star which integrates a map and some simple quality of life features. After half my game sessions, I felt like I was wasting half of my progress because I had to warp back to town for some reason - out of resources, left nearly dead after opening a trapped chest, or my personal favorite, the only character with Revive got killed - and that's the only place to save your progress. The game finally throws you a bone near the final boss fight and gives you an easy way to grind to power your team up, but if you want ot save that progress, you have to warp back to town, warp back to the start of the level, and then worm your way back to where you left off, fighting a whole bunch of unskippable, annoying monsters along the way.
I had access to save states, which let me pick up the game on my Nomad, save my progress, and pick up again later on. I don't know how people managed back when this was first released on Genesis. I imagine a bunch of consoles were left on overnight because of it.
But that all said, with a map and save states, this can be a fun one once the ball gets rolling. I'd really love to see what my actual playtime was; I feel like I was playing it forever.
That satisfies the Annual Franchise Challenge, so I've earned a Max icon next to my name. If you want one of your own, you still have almost two months to play through a Shining game.

Had trouble sleeping overnight on Friday, so I took that as an opportunity to raid Death Mountain and finish The Legend of Zelda.
I really had a blast with this. When I played on the NES Mini a few years back, I remember being happy that I was finally playing such a classic, but I was really frustrated with the controls and some of the enemy behaviors. This time around, I enjoyed myself a whole lot more. I don't know if it was because I had a better idea of what to expect, or if the SNES port was working its magic, but it was just awesome old school fun.
About that Infidelity port... It has a very light touch against the original gain, and the goal was simply performance improvements, which it achieves splendidly. However, being able to save without plugging in a second controller is great, and being able to rotate through special weapons with the L and R buttons is amazing. Such a minor little feature that makes gameplay so much more smooth.
And then, finally, late last night, I finished Shining in the Darkness.
This was my first Shining game, and another entry into a very small pile of non-Square JRPGs that I've played. The game didn't sell itself on me well - a first-person dungeon crawler for the Genesis with a steep learning curve - but I wanted to start with the beginning of the series. I decided to just muscle through it.
It was a lot better than I expected. The dungeon crawling was less janky than I expected. Battle moves more crisply. And for a game that supposedly takes place entirely underground, the character portraits and NPCs are really well drawn and have a lot of personality. I genuinely enjoyed working my way through new dungeon levels, as long as I had a map.
I also never want to play this again, unless it's like the Sega Ages re-release of Phantasy Star which integrates a map and some simple quality of life features. After half my game sessions, I felt like I was wasting half of my progress because I had to warp back to town for some reason - out of resources, left nearly dead after opening a trapped chest, or my personal favorite, the only character with Revive got killed - and that's the only place to save your progress.

It's been pretty quiet here, but hope everybody's got a good game or two to keep them warm as the weather starts to cool off. Who else is still working their way through The Legend of Zelda?
I'm about to start travelling for Thanksgiving, so I wanted to kick off our plans for next month a little early. As we talked about before, in the spirit of holiday redemption, end of the year crunches, and other time-honored traditions, December will be a redemption month where we give games that finished in second place throughout the year another chance to be in the spotlight. That list is below.
