I had one of the first NES's in history. Gyromite, Duck Hunt, the Gun, ROB (Robotic Operating Buddy) two controllers and the system. Yes, I am bragging.

Same, with Kung Fu, which I played the shit out of.

I booted up Kung Fu on my RPI last week and I was completely confused why I loved this game so much as a kid

Utnayan_sl said:

Haha me too. Then I got really sick of Gyromite and threw the cartridge in the freezer to see how much it would stand and still work.

lol Gyromite was so bad. Only reason it was fun is when you would control the pipes and troll your friends.

There was another game that I think had kind of a similar ending. You could play co-op and you were driving around in a Jeep going pew pew some soldiers, picking up hostages and dropping them off. Then the final boss was like the White House or some mansion with machine guns and shit. Brother and I co-op'd that for weeks before finally beating it.

Probably Jackal?

Master Blaster where art though~ First and only "book" i read to accompany a video game in my life. I even remember vague portions hah

There was some stellar music back in the day.

I just want a fucking game that lets you make choices that significantly impact/ulter things (not story but character wise). I don't want all characters to basically be the same shit, i don't want to be FORCED to use X, Y Z and then have Y run off for half the game. It just seems so many games any more try and make it so the world is an endless see of posibilities, i don't want that shit. I want to have pro's and con's to weigh out and have to really invest into one charcter vs the other etc. I remember the MVP or something similar mechanic was so awesome to me in Tactics Ogre way back in the day. i'd pick the character i wanted to get extra levels etc and feed him kills while trying to not actually get killed etc. They seriously need to remake that game with modern graphics and some general quality of life tweaks and i'd pay $100 gladly. Add some super hardcore bosses at t he end so all the cool gear/abilities you farm in the 100 lvl dungeon can actually be put to use. My only complain about that game, you grind so hard only to find out there is not remotely a challenge waiting for you.

Unrelated, but looking back at almost 30 years of playing games since i was 5, still one of my favorites that wasn't really mainstream popular was Cross Edge. Think they had to rename after the fact due to a law suit but that game was fucking brilliant and just ass rape. Combat was super, character development was great, gearing up was solid and the post game was pure insanity. Story was very light and werid but combined multiple gaming universes and characters which they blended well. Had alot of complexity but it wasn't over done for the sake of being complex like some game snow. Was a combo game from Idle Factory and Comp Heart or whatever.

I've tried at least 4-5 of Idea factors other games which follow similar recipes of design but they just never caught the combat portion. Tried MegaDimesion Neptune or some shit this weekend and it just seemed fucking retarded and combat was meh.

can anyone recommend a decent ROM/Emu site? the last few i've used has made my virus scanner lose its shit.

FYI this is the thread where we talked about the RPi (there might have been another), in case you're interested in doing the RPi route like others have.

Emulators/Roms - Page 3

I just ordered a RPi 3.0 kit, waiting for it to arrive. I've heard its substantially easier to set up than the previous versions and is almost plug and play once you flash the SD card correctly.

thanks for the assist!

I've been using them since the first RPi came out (for school project) and every iteration they get better and better. The retropie guys have done an incredible job as well. I've built a few for family and if they can use these things anyone can.

Jackal was awesome. That was a game with a badass final boss given the jeep's quirks.

River City Ransom was absolutely killer.

I miss Faxanadu. Every time some NES nostalgia comes up, I'm reminded of it.

No Blaster Master? No Tetris? No RC Pro Am? No Dragon Warrior? No Metal Gear? No Bionic Commando?

bleh.




Truth on both accounts. No Contra makes no damn sense.

Faxanadu was very advanced for its time (armor changes character) etc. good music and imo was the best of its "related" series. I would love to do a kickstarter or something for a nice remake of that game.
