Hey look, all my articles from GameSpite Quarterly 5, the NES mega-tome issue, are now online:

Duck Tales and Little Nemo: NES Platforming Mechanics Evolved
Air Fortress
Life Force

As usual you can check out other articles from the GSQ5 contents page (and of course you can buy the brick-size dead tree version from there), though not everything up

Yesss, you remember Life Force! Paul and I played the hell out of that game and I have Extreme Nostalgia for it, but I don't talk to many people who are familiar with it.

It was pretty much My First Shooter(tm). In fact I think that and Gradius 3 for SNES are the only ones I've ever bought. Unless you count some old Mac games, but those were more Asteroids and Space Invaders clones, which are a different beast. Oh, and there's Star Prince within Retro Game Challenge for DS, which is pretty awesome.

Ooh, Duck Tales was such an excellent NES game. I'm glad you decided to write about it. :)
