      So do I. I like the run and jump off the wall mechanic as well as pining down your opponent and knocking them out. The 1950's atmosphere on the westernized version was epic. Unfortunately had no real ending or saving a damsel and making out with her like the Japanese version. 3 difficulty levels and maze type buildings you have to find your way around. I love everything about the game. It's definitely top 25 for me of most memorable titles.

    Man, I loved that Muppets game as a small kid. It's simple enough for kids to understand but just challenging enough to be fun. Again, as a small child lol which I imagine was the target audience even though The Muppets was kind of an all-ages property skewing slightly towards adults but with kid friendly characters.
    I sunk untold hours of my childhood into that game. The awful controls back then were just kind of seen as "it is how it is" and were kinda part of the challenge.
    I tried it again, multiple times, as an adult and just cycled between boredom and frustration and confusion so it's definitely not really good but I really enjoyed it in its time.

    Deadly Towers isn't as bad as some would have you believe. It has a harsh difficulty level at the start, and is cryptic regarding where you should go, and what you should be doing. If you grind early, and get some decent equipment (speed boots, multi-shot swords) before trying the towers, and wait till all the towers are beaten before burning the bells it's a very manageable game. Not a good game, mind you, but not as awful as has been asserted so many times.

  • @alkristopher
    @alkristopher 7 місяців тому +2

    I appreciate your sacrifice to humanity. Here are a few more terrible titles to stay away from:
    Legend of the Ghost Lion: this would actually be decent if it wasn't an RPG. The combat is completely pointless (you gain levels by opening treasures, not battles), and the battle music makes me want to pour fire ants in my ears.
    Adventure Island: c'mon, you know I'm right. It wouldn't actually be terrible if you didn't play the exact same five stages ad nauseum.
    Remote Control: It's like Double Dare, only just the quizzes and no mini-games.
    Caveman Games: ugly, difficult to control, and so short that it barely qualifies as a rental. There's not even an ending.
    King's Knight: absolutely f*** this game. No, you know what, don't even give it that honor. Set it on fire. Take it to the firing range. Stick it in your oven and melt it. Throw it into a wood chipper.
    Captain Planet and the Planeteers: actual toxic waste is better than this game. Even with Game Genie, it's completely impossible.
    Darkman: (vomits for 9 hours straight)
    and because I can't resist controversy...
    Pro Wrestling, Paperboy, Marble Madness, Mickey Mousecapades, Skate or Die, Snake Rattle & Roll, and Rollergames.
    Also, Wizardry, Faria, Hydlide, and all the Ultima games. Yep. Even Quest of the Avatar. I show no mercy.

    "I know for a fact that the NES can do better than four colors on the screen at once. The people who programmed this game just did a terrible job." NES tiles and sprites have a maximum of four colors, and since areas were filled per-pixel, there was no way to avoid crossing tile boundaries and violating the color limit if more were added. Dithering and patterns were literally the only straightforward way around this. While a coloring "game" was a terrible choice for the hardware, the programmers did what they could with it. They were probably hired by clueless managers who didn't understand the hardware limitations, and who were warned in advance about how much this was going to suck.

    Most of these games are bad after the fact. I actually owed some of these carts, and some of them are grand in my eye (The music to Wrestlemania still hits that button). Although, it's probably 'cause at the time, we had to like what we had, or not play it, and I didn't have alot. Those rented from Radio Shack on Saturday (as RS was closed Sunday, so you got a two day rental for the price of one) was first come first serve, so if you didn't get there Saturday morning (which what kid would, we watching toons baby! Pass that cereal man!) you got left with the not so good games, which you had to force yourself to enjoy, because you was stuck with it for two days because you tired of the ones you own.

    The NES can do more than 4 colors ON SCREEN at once, but can only do 4 colors on a single item and it burned two on black and white.

    I have an opinion on some of these games. If I don't mention a game, I never played it:
    Back to the Future: Not a good game. It's repetitive and the final level is ridiculous. How? You must hit 88 MPH with the DeLorean. If not, you go back to the beginning of the game even you have a bunch of lives. I managed to win but it wasn't worth it...
    Back to the Future 2 & 3: Controls are loose and it's badly designed. As much as I dislike the 1st game, this is not worth your time. I never finished it. I'm glad I didn't.
    Deadly Towers: Who the heck thought of this game? Should've been an action RPG...
    Double Dare: Me and my sister played this so much as a kid. I really like it. Sure, the controls are tough to figure out but once you understand them, it's fun. Plus, the physical challenges make the game interesting.
    Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde: I'm gonna sound controversial but I cannot hate this game. I found some things I like. Is it a good game? No. I call it an okay title. Here's a hint: On the Hyde parts, hold UP and hit the punch button. You'll do a projectile.
    Renegade: I couldn't get into this one. I didn't care for it.
    Super Pitfall: I didn't care for this one. Play Pitfall on Atari 2600
    Where's Waldo: I don't like this game. No, I'm serious. I don't like it. One of the worst games on the system. If anybody asks me what NES game shoukd they stay away from, I tell them Where's Waldo.

  • @loganjorgensen

    I think the biggest crime is the games that hurt to play, you just feel terrible playing BTTF 1. In comparison a plain or dull game isn't nearly the same bad experience.🤢
    9:57 That's a video hardware limitation, the background layer only does four colors per 16x16 pixel block and only four 2bpp palettes with each having four colors. So I think their aim was allowing four colors to apply to anywhere on the canvas as a whole Ie. keeping the program setup simple. There are sprite blocks but not enough to spread over the whole screen without flickering too much, that is a discipline onto itself heh.😉

    Did you grow up with the NES, or are you a "retro gamer"? I was 12 when it was released in the US, and at the time it was amazing simply because there was nothing else like it. Also, do you have the instructions for the cartridges? (They tend to help you figure out how to play the game) If not, its kinda silly to complain that you can't figure out how to play the thing.
