The hardest thing to do with these is the openings really. I know what I want to say about the five games for today and want I want to discuss and all that but I want to make the opening at least somewhat interesting and more than HEY FIVE MORE NES GAMES. So I was thinking that I would consolidate the games with several sequels to just one paragraph but then I felt it wasn’t fair. I guess this know makes this opening long enough for me to quit talking about it but man I got o do like who knows how many? 400 or so of these?
This was a game I had as a little child and I want to collect all the games I had or rented as a kid CIB becuase I’m a nutcase like that. Only problem is that this game now goes for $55 complete and I’m not playing that game the people on youtube who collect games and anything really want me to do. You stupid assholes ruined all of this shit. Making everyone think they have fucking gold when all they have is Dino Riki. There are more copies of this game than the Bible. When I collected NES games (and I did this in Newfoundland where every kind of collectible is hidden incredibly well) people would sell this game for $5 and thats what it should stay at for fucking ever. I would see this fucker everywhere, which made me happy when I found it, and honestly pretty fucking sad when I finally played it. I really had fond memories of this game as a kid but as an adult I gotta admit it mostly sucks. Yeah I like the graphics and the music despite it pretty much being kinda goofy. The controls ruin this game. The only way I believe any human being can beat this is to get the wings and literally murder their thumb holding onto those wings by doing a trick that is a pain in the ass. This game just does not hold up and I cannot argue in any way about it being a good worthwhile game to own.
Now here is a game I WILL argue in favor of. Yes, the levels are repeated over and over and yes, it’s harder than humanly possible. Yet, I still love it. I still enjoy playing this one and one day I WILL beat it. That is a promise to my readers! And to God too I guess! JUST TO MAKE ME REALLY DO IT! The music is incredibly memorable and so are the graphics. Really quite good for 1988. I remember when I was a kid I would just run into the fire and laugh like a maniac. Such an amusing sprite of him all on fire. The Japanese men who just stole Wonder Boy and made him Master Higgins are as messed up as I am! Anyway I still love this game and I don’t care what anyone says.
A major improvement from the first game. Levels have a lot more variety, the music is better, the graphics are incredibly updated and it’s totally a better game. One I also had as a child. I have to say the difficulty is brought down immensely as you can beat this game. It’s still incredibly fucking hard to do so but you can beat it. I’ve beaten it twice and I’ll probably do it again because I am cool like that. Plus you get tons of Dinosaur buddies to ride around on. That alone is pretty fucking awesome. The Dinosaurs are all different and do different things which is even better! You can also save your weapons and dinosaurs for harder areas! They really thought of everything with this one.
Adventure Island 3 is pretty much the same as the second game except I think they add in a boomerang which I don’t even believe is a really good weapon. You can save the Dinosaurs and the weapons but this game is just “Hey you liked the last game so here’s more stuff that’s slighty different”. I was fucking so exicited when I found this game when I got into emulation as a teenager. Holy shit I was over the moon. I did not know this game existed at that point and I was so happy to play more Adventure Island 3. I still like this game quite a bit but there’s not as much change from Adventure Island 3 as there was from the original game to part 2 so that’s kind of a bummer. Still if you like these games like I do there’s nothing wrong with this one.
This game takes me way back to the days of first searching NES games on the Internet. It brought me to this wild ass fucking NES site called Ogre Hombre’s Planet NES. This man had a wild sense of humor that I loved. He had crazy NES fights where one character would get beaten to fuck and back. He had great little editorials, and reviews and this is where I was brought to find out about Bayou Billy. A NES game that I feel gets a bad rap. Yeah, the first time I played it was so hard I used a game genie but the second time I beat it I realized if you play the different modes you get more stuff that helps you in the actual full game so it was much easier. Do not get me wrong the game is still a mighty challenge but it was one I had alot of fun with. The music is amazing, the graphics are incredibly memorable and well done for the time period. Also the game is still Konami so it’s still better then so many games on the NES anyway. I would recommend giving Bayou Billy another shot. It’s really cool that you get three different games in one really. You drive around in a car for some levels, you use the Zapper for others and others you just pummel the shit out of guys with names like Louis Torture. Who couldn’t love that? Only crumb bums thats who.
Another five games that you have my opinion on. I do not know if I will start upping the amount of games I review because I really do not want to do this forever and ever but I do want to discuss every NES game. Anyway the tallies of Bad to Good are:
Bad: 6
Good: 9
Okay: Zilch
