Castlevania is one I remember and if I recall I think it had an awesome "soundtrack" to it. I never really got into playing it though.  the other ones you mentioned I don't recall. One game I spent a lot of time playing was Dragon Warrior. Not sure anyone will remember that one. I feel like it was sorta of a poor man's Zelda in a way.

I also never played Super Tecmo Bowl. Just the original. As a Cowboys fan I hate to admit I always played as the 49ers. I was Ronnie Lott on defence and Roger Craig on offence.

I am the game, you don't want to play me. I am control, no way you can change me.
I am heavy debt, no way you can pay me. I am the pain and I know you can't take me.

I would have been interested in hearing a VR album with Chester.

It's crazy to think the first actual VR song (Set me Free) came out 19 years ago.  Think about that. Velvet Revolver is essentially 2 decades old.

The band had basically drifted apart during the Illusions tour. Getting Axl to show up for a soundcheck or rehearsal was next to impossible so he was never gonna show up to a photoshoot with a band nobody seemingly wanted to be a part of anymore.  Then post break up there was, in my opinion a very conscious effort to maintain the illusion that all the various incarnations of GnR were in fact THE classic GnR. So any marketing via band photoshoots that didn't show Slash and Duff weren't how they wanted to market and promote the band. Throughout the entire CD saga there was next to nothing in terms of promoting GnR as a new band, while remnants of the old band were constantly featured heavily in any and all marketing. A full band photoshoot post 1991 didn't serve a purpose. At least not a purpose Axl and Co. wanted.
