@BainesMkII Год назад

Games like Vice: Project Doom and Rockin Kats are overlooked because they were released after the SNES was already available. Enough attention had shifted to the next generation that late release NES games never built the fanbases that would keep them in mind decades later. The exceptions tended to be games that were notorious for other reasons, like the well-known rarity of Little Samson carts.

Thanks for reminding us of the amazing games we may have missed. Keep up the great work, James! Can't wait for the next video!

@inthefade Год назад

Hard as nails but so fun.

@DarkPuIse Год назад

I feel proud to have owned Vice: Project Doom. Absolutely stellar game. Unmentioned by James: The cutscenes are also a fair bit of a rarity for the NES. It definitely went the Ninja Gaiden route of "Story with a game," and then you got three different game modes on top of that - each of the driving and shooting stages shows up twice, IIRC, and the rest (and bulk) of the game is the side-scrolling action.

@eraser400 Год назад

Awesome video, James! These are the type of videos I love from you. Keep up the great work, man!

@NietypowyKurde Год назад

Rockin' Kats is amazing! The freedom of movement is one of the best on the console and the fact you can also pick stuff up aside from just punching always makes for some unusual strats. As for the cover - it's correct. Willy (the player character) uses a boxing glove gun

@sixten8493 Год назад

Also, once you finish the game and patiently wait through the credits and end theme, a kind of New Game+ is unlocked. Hard as nails with redesigned levels and no continues, I don't think I ever made it past the fourth stage.

Conglaturation always cracks me up. The top ten worst endings is my favourite episode to date.

Blaster Master is my fav of the less popular tier games of NES. Not sure if James has ever covered it, but would love to hear his thoughts on it.

@sithlord1051 Год назад

Fun game, but way too long and hard, especially since there's no saving.

@ShadowSumac Год назад

He had mentioned quite a few times to my knowledge, but in positive context obviously.

One of my favorites in my NES library is Archon

@imaginarymask Год назад

I loved Archon, but I actually preferred the Commodore 64 version.

I never grew up with NES games or Atari, I'm too young for that. But thanks to you I've always been interested in gaming history.

I always thought the NES G.I. Joe was a hidden gem, because I rarely see it on top 10 lists for any categories. The team selection, boss fights, and music will always stick with me.
