Mr. Gimmick Ipressions
I just got my Retrozone copy of Mr. Gimmick in the mail today. I've never played it before on an emulator or anything and had only heard of it mentioned a few times here and there throughout my history of NES collecting. I'm assuming a lot of people here are playing it for the first time now that the reproduction cart was released.
Personally I'm blown away. It's another one of those jems that I didn't even know existed. Graphically it's about as pretty as an NES game gets. The sound and gameplay are excellent and, another plus, it's really really hard. I've been playing NES stuff for about 25 years now and I'm always amazed at it's ability to still surprise me (I just discovered Gun-Nac as well and... wow).
So what is everyone's impression of the game? Who else is playing it?

It is a bit pity that the game is quite rare because it would be great if more people got the chance to play it. Although i must admit that the rarity around the game ads some "mystery" to the game, which i like Everyone can get a repro cart though, so maybe it isnt that hard to get the hand on this game without having to buy the original.
