Glad to see this topic here as well, looking forward to finding those elusive old gems. I've been wondering if it would be useful to come up with a small form, like a template of the most important information the people requesting the games should fill in, since it could potentially speed things up and help out more people, but then again it might break the flow and shy away some folks from posting since stuff like that can feel like a bit of a chore.

Not really saying people would have to post in a specific format, just have it as a guideline. But then again, most people don't fully read the OP of a topic, so it also might be obsolete. I'm maybe kinda overthinking it, since this kinds of topics have always worked reasonably well, just thinking about how to make things a bit easier for everyone. BTW, this post editor on the forum has some real neat features, I just copied the name of a game from Mobygames and it automatically copied the url tied to that text, making things much faster.

Advanced posting hides the rest of the topic though, so it's not ideal but that's fine. KarasuEXE said:. Eliseo said:. Ichtyander said:.

It was a long, long time ago, and I didn't get to see it for very long because I had to leave the babysitter, but it was a NES game, that looked like a Mario rom-hack.

I remember the main character being a butcher of some sort? And there was a giant hamburger he was jumping on, or something? Every time I look for it all I can seem to find is "Burger Time", which I keep thinking might have been it? But I distinctly remember a blue background, because I thought it was Mario at first, until the character was a chef guy and there was a giant hamburger on screen.

It honestly might have been a dream, but this has been bugging me for around 25 years.. Chocobo Member. Oct 27, 1, Sweden.
