What can we say about Mega Man 3? It's a classic game, one that should be in anyone's collection. We'd suggest you check out Anniversary Collection as it's a pretty good compilation disc, but if you're more the type to like downloading things, then check out Mega Man 3. Either way, just play it.

Yu Suzuki's Space Harrier is quite the fun time. It may not be the perfect arcade port and runs a bit slow when you're playing, but, overall, it's a fun game. And, seriously, for $5, it's a great diversion. You aren't going to be investing 20 hours into the thing, but, for $5, it's a great way to waste a rainy afternoon.
