Sorry I'm late with it this week...Battle Lode Runner, Final Fight and Mighty Bomb Jack this week...
I missed Lylat Wars during the N64 era so I'm glad I've got it now - I've only given it a quick bash so far and it's far superior to it's GameCube equivilent!
Donkey Kong Maths just sounds like they couldn't be bothered to release anything decent alongside Lylat Wars. Still, Lylat Wars is the one I've been expecting for a while and I'm glad I can finally download it.
Lylat Wars and Donkey Kong Jr Math today!
Few more games up today...though Starfox ain't one of them...

Yep. GAME are currently doing Points cards for £7.99 when you buy anything else, and that includes another points card. So I went and got 4000 points for £16.
Has anyone actually bought any points after they did the first time?

Action-RPG, with emphasis on combat. There are a variety of different 'special' attacks you can pull off with button + Dpad combos. THere's loads of different weapon types (swords of all types, crossbows, bombs, etc), all with limited uses (except your bog-standard dagger).
Also a bunch of djinni things you can summon that will fight alongside you and each has unique abilities you've got to use to progress.
Oh, and massive screen-filling bosses.
I like it. Had it on the MD, and got it on my PC, and played through most of it a year or two back, before getting stuck right near the end.

For some reason I have the cart even though I never owned a 64.
