i owned robocop 3 for the snes for 2 years till i finally beat it. i gave up on it, after a damn long time i couldnt take it no more, i had to finish it. no matter how shit it was. i finished all the harder and even crap games, so this one had to be done. same with hagane, took me maybe half a year before i finished the game for the first time.
nowadays every game is easy, are there even games that are hard to finish anymore.
yeah, TMNT Arcade for NES even had different bosses, and stages. It just wasn’t the same game. It’s sad, considering Double Dragon for NES was possibly better than the arcade version, yet TMNT was just a letdown
Anybody remember during the first year of Nintendo Power, they printed a magazine with the cover featuring Simon Belmont holding a severed Dracula head, and kids were TERRIFIED of it. Parents were calling in to freak the fuck out on NP for that shit.
I was just reminded of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. I stopped playing that because I got confused, didn’t know about gamefaqs, and those Zephonim (spider) vampires would scare the absolute FUCK out of me when they dropped down.
I eventually played through it and beat it, but only with the help of a strategy guide.
[LIST]
[]I can actually beat the NES version of Rygar under 5 hours.
[]I didn’t know how to do Shoryuken motion until age 11.
[]I can’t pull of 720’s but I don’t play characters that use them anyway.
[]Mega Man, the first one, is the HARDEST in the original series, IMO.
[]I sold my GH copy of Castlevania: SOTN to my brother (who not only never paid me for it, but also fucked up my black label copy and lost it).
[]It took me one straight month to beat Legacy of Kain, the first one. No guides.
[]It took me 3 months to find the Lunar Harp in Final Fantasy VII. Then I got the guide that Christmas in 1997 as well as SOTN…
[]Being the fool that I was, I sold my PS2 copy of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 to get Tekken 5 in 2005. BIG MISTAKE.
[]I still play DDR (Kind Lady Interlude is my favorite song, along with SP Trip Machine Jungle Mix).
[]I went to Gamestop (while they were still Funcoland) to get Megaman X3. While I was chatting with the employee, some random guy bought the game; utterly defeating the purpose of me going there. It took me 2+ hours waiting on the bus and walking and I just got so pissed.
I couldn’t do SRK’s or SPD’s at all, but I was also rocking the SNES pad then. Oh, and Vega used to fucking pwn me straight up.
And I have played every megaman BUT the first one
I have never played any of the levels of SMB3 except the first and last (I pretty much ALWAYS whistled my way to the end)
And Final Fantasy X wasn’t that bad. I just miss the classic Final Fantasy stuff. They’ve veered off into a completely new series, but they still call it Final Fantasy, seeing as it has the same spells. Nothing else is even the same anymore. They need to make it LESS about summons from now on. Let me summon shit, but don’t make summons the fucking Gods of the universe.
I always wanted to get into Tomb Rider just because of Lara Croft, but i couldn’t i just don’t like the game…
I played a lot of Super MArio RPG and i think its one of the greatest RPG ever, along with CT and FF7…
I used to play Everquest Online Adventures and its expasion Frontiers for a good 3 years, then they charged 14.99 and the game stayed the same so it wasn’t worth it
I remember that one, but it didn’t really faze me. One of the ones that did scare me however was a relatively recent cover that they had for the Resident Evil remake for GCN (had a zombie right behind Jill (can’t find that cover online though)).
Despite growing up in the right era to see it (I would have been 5), and being a huge fan of NES games, I never saw The Wizard until a year ago. I don’t even remember seeing advertisements for it. The first time I even knew it existed was when I saw it in a video rental store after it hit VHS, but I didn’t even realize it was a video game movie until way later. I guess I sorta equated Wizard with with all the weird fantasy films that were rampant in the 80s. People give it flack for being a feature-length ad for Nintendo (which, yeah, it is), but it’s so pumped full of game and 80’s nostalgia that I really don’t care. Basically my confession is that I like it.
I don’t remember which Magazine it was but there was one back in like 94 - 95 that was really thick that I bought. It had these really graphic comics of the Magazines mascot I guess it was, Some blue Guy with a TV for a head. Idk why but just something about that Magazine scared Me. I remember this being one of the main things that scared Me… Swagman…
Ironically enough I go over a friend’s house one day and they are playing this on a rom, scared the hell out of Me…
-I didn’t like FFVII at all and I think it’s mostly revered out of nostalgia.
-I haven’t turned on my Wii for 2 years aside from watching netflix.
-I got into a weird phase where I would play a game almost to completion, often times getting to the final boss, and then lose interest and never beat it. This happened with Wind Waker, Tales of Symphonia, and Star Wars: KOTOR. Still haven’t beaten any of them.
-After reading about the Tomb Raider nude code (EGM april fools), I went to a PS demo station at Comp USA and tried to do it for 15 minutes.
-I had barely even watched football before my brother bought Madden '94 and I learned every aspect of the sport from that game. I haven’t bought a Madden since but I do now follow the NFL.
-I have never owned a Sony system. I was late to the 32-bit era and chose the dying Saturn because I loved Sega’s arcade games so much and the 3 free games (Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter, Daytona) seemed like the greatest deal ever. I still feel like I made the right choice. I was away at college for most of the PS2’s run and I swapped consoles for PC (Counter-Strike mostly). I chose DS over PSP. And for the latest generation, my brother bought me a 360 as a graduation gift so I could play COD with him so I never even considered getting a PS3.
-The games I have probably sunk the most time into are wrestling games, and most of that time is spent in create-a-wrestler where I meticulously choose every detail of a character’s appearance, moveset, and entrance. I really enjoy that for some reason.
Revered? At this point in time, FFVII is one of the most hated games I’ve seen in a while. Right now it’s open season on it, it’s ridiculous. I don’t think it’s AMAZING or that great, but I don’t throw it under the bus every two seconds. Ever since IGN did that article on stating it could be overrated, I don’t think I’ve heard a single positive thing about that game.
I hate every Zelda game except for Link to the Past. I enjoy Zelda “clones” because I don’t think clone is an accurate term for most of them. They tend to have much better combat and fewer as well as less tedious puzzles. I love Landstalker, Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Mana, Light Crusader, Beyond Oasis etc.
I don’t think Super Mario RPG is all that great. Maybe I played it too late (just played it this year, I normally love older well-known RPGs) and a lot of little things bothered me. Peach just seems like a useless character outside of healing so I only used her for bosses. As I go through a dungeon I keep 3 attack characters for my party and occasionally go through the trouble of switching peach into my party and healing with her and switching her back out. Even though you can equip characters who are not in your party, you have to have them in your party to use their skills from the menu which wasted a lot of extra time for what I was trying to do. The game has a lot of charm, and I expected a simple storyline, but maybe it’s a bit too simple when taking length into consideration.
