Tonight I played Populous (hucard) for 2 hours. Missed that game. Great fun. I love that they produced a special card (romram) for the ability to save your game. I wonder how many romram games were produced?

Zero games, not even Populous.  It doesn't save to the huey; the romram logo refers to it having additional working ram on the huey, which is unique to Populous.

The only huey to have save ram is the Tennokoe Bank.

I haven't turned on my Duo in awhile (shame on me) but I finally popped in my go to game Soldier Blade last night. Playthroughs of Splatterhouse, Bonk's Revenge and Legendary Axe II won't be far behind I think. Maybe it's finally time for me to play through some of the RPGs I've been saving like Mysterious Song.

I grabbed the first 6 medallions in Neutopia last night. Labyrinth 7 kicked my ass and after 6 hours or so getting there, I needed a break.
I have never played Neutopia all the way through. It reminds me of an old NES game, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Anybody else notice that?
 :-k

I think its because, while graphically, its a 16 bit game, it plays more like the original Zelda than Link to the Past. You are limited to the 4 cardinal directions, iirc. There is very little variation in the dungeons, unlike its sequel. The drops and power-ups feel somewhat limited in scope. In general, it just has more in common with LoZ than LttP, when you ignore the increased color palette.
Hey, you.

Oh, I misread the question, lol. I thought you were saying "Remind me of the style of an old NES game" not "reminds me of a specific NES game" oops!

To me Zelda has nothing in common with Neutopia.

Neutopia:  Game I play

Zelda:  Game I do not play

The only huey to have save ram is the Tennokoe Bank.

I was just going off of this blurb I found on the Internets. "As you've probably noticed, Populous comes on an unusual HuCard. Unlike Street Fighter 2, which was also released on a thick HuCard, Populous doesn't use this extra room to increase the game's size. This extra thickness is in reality supposed to hide a mini backup unit where players could save they game's progress. The back of the card is also different than your usual HuCard, and this backup specimen is even called a RomRam HuCard"

What you are saying makes more sense, since it is called romRAM. I guess that dude was mistaken.

At the moment I am currently playing...Twinbee. It's amazing how much the Famicom version put me off this game series, but I'm actually enjoying this one.

I've been playing this some lately as well. 

I really suck at juggling bells and shooting down enemies.  I'm really good at shooting the bells past the color I want and completely missing the enemies, though.

Having said that, if you just want to see each of the levels (the later ones look AMAZING), I love that there's an Easy setting and you can crank up the # of lives and continues.

Currently I am replaying Neutopia II as Koala making custom passwords. I pretty much play as TG16 I can get my hands on. I current have 42 TGCD original games. I am trying to get my hands on as many originals as I can.

Populous mostly. And Victory Run inbetween for a change, although it sucks  :?
