let's give it up to the days when games were about the challenge and entertainment and not flashy visual effects!

Let's see, Super Mario 3, Maniac Mansion (I really liked Razor and Michael's songs), Back to the Future (yeah, the gameplay sucked, but I played it religiously until I was finally able to beat that game sometime in the late 90's), and Mendel Palace. Hogan's Alley was pretty fun, too... and Tecmo Bowl and Tiger Heli and the greatest game ever, the orange labeled Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr. cartridge, and Contra. Oh, and the disneyland Magic Kingdom game wasn't half bad, the Space Mountain game was pretty trippy. Oh, Track and Field.
NES? What's that?

yeah, I recall playing that game, it was impossible and pissed me off, so i quit playing it. Another cool nintendo game was NARC, oh shit and the Ninja Gaiden series. I can't believe no one said that. Good games

Post by MercurySolo on Mar 24, 2005 15:54:35 GMT -5
They just came out with the new NARC... $19.95. It looks kinda cool, you're a cop like the original, but you decide whether you catch the criminals by the book, or if you use drugs to "enhance" your abilities. I'll probably give it at least a rental, but it won't be as good as the first (unless they leave out the freaky knife-clowns).
Gumshoe was a great game, too. Any game wiith the light gun was cool, another good one was The Adventures of Bayou Billy... I could never get far on that one, but at least they had the shooting and driving mini-games from the start.
I got Xevious in Plug-and-play joystick form, great game, I can play it for hours... funny, it seems that the better video game graphics get, the worse the gameplay (on a whole) becomes... I mean, there's the Halos, Tony Hawks and Maddens that have great gameplay, but most of the games don't hold my attention as long as, say, the four repeated levels of Donkey Kong.

yep, Bayou Billy was a sweet game. Driving that jeep and shooting down planes always holds a place in my heart. I also remembered a couple more. The Double Dragon games, bad ass. and there was this other game where you were on a speed boat and shot at people. I think it was called Cobra Triangle or it had the word triangle in it for sure. Very cool game. Oh and Wizards and Warriors. Another favorite.

Post by MercurySolo on Mar 27, 2005 3:30:42 GMT -5
Yeah, Cobra Triangle was good, I liked the levels with the whirlpools, but the logs pissed me off. I don't think I ever beat that one, I always ended up blowing up too many drowning people on the mines trying to save them. Wizards and Warriors was good, I never played the second one, though. I think Wizards and Warriors is about the perfect length for a NES action game, long enough to have many bosses and items, and short enough to beat in one sitting. One of my favorites was Commando. I remember finding out how to blow up the bridge to get the ladder to the radio shortcut on one of the levels before my teenage cousins did (I was about 8 or 9). The music was cheesy, too.  |
