Hah, my favourite game in those days. First time I played it I've no idea you can switch suites, so I completed game with just no-suit hero with boomerangs. It was unbelievable hard, but I did it. Still proud of myself, after all these years!
Leave it to the NES to feature a game where the unlicensed likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger becomes a terrorist at the behest of the US government. It's a great play, but that price tag....ouch!
This predates that mecha game on XBox that spoofs America. Talk about biting the hand. No wonder parents weren't sold on this one. Is it on any sort of later software collection?
Here's the kicker Agent Boomerang: In your secret mission we need you to destroy the "enemy" base. If you destroy the "enemy" base we can get them to sell them the technology to us at a far cheaper rate. We can invade those Red Commie's "both ones" for cheap that way with minimal bloodshed. We of course are hush hush on this. Ready? Yes sir Mr. President! Good boy Agent Boomerang!
Yeah, the story in this is bizarre. A company offers to sell the state a new technology, so the government response is to send a commando in to destroy the company and kill its employees! I know there's an implied threat in the intro of Delta selling the technology to a "foreign government", but surely that could be dealt with through legislation or an executive action rather than state-sanctioned murder of people just trying to make a legal living! This must be one of those rare games where you actually play as the bad guy...
By that time (assuming humanity is still around) they will probably have neural link streams instead, hahah. Funny thing, there have been quite a few Raid 2020 playthroughs this year. Gotta keep up with the times, and all that!
Great game Power Blade 2 is NC. We never returned the game back at Blockbuster video and they never notified us regarding it. Now that I look at Taito titles for the NES in it's later years and how much money they gone up in value, I'm glad we still kept it.
So alot of people think this Arnold Schwartzenegger is a terrorist but during the last level the agent your character meets literally tells you that the guy trying to sell these suits to the government is an alien and all the places you blow up don't have any human people in them,that's not a terrorist plot bro . That's the plot of men in black /Terminator lol . Just thought I'd set the record straight on the exact plot of this game .
В детстве, я просто ох. ел(это мягко сказано) от этой игры и музыкального сопровождения, который как мне казалось тогда, да и сейчас с каждым уровнем, лишь улучшался) разрабам пожизнененный респектос) 👍
@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 No idea what Sega has to do with the SNES, but OK. I think it is smart they stopped making consolesm software is where the money is made. But back to the SNES, games for the SNES really suck compared to NES titles, everybit as much as your post that NES outperformed SMS. Again, SMS beat the Mega Drive in key games like Sonic. So we can conclude 8-bit won from 16-bit. That may also proof why the PC Engine was so good, as it was an 8bit on steroids.
Corporation, being uncharacteristically reasonable with it's patron nation: "We spent a metric crapton of cash on developing this shiny new monument to not enuf dakka. Please buy it so we don't have to sell it to someone else." 'Murica, being 'Murica on a day ending in 'y': "No lol. Boomerang Mega Man, go forth and destroy. Don't question it, just do it. Because we don't know either." Boomerang Mega Man: "Yes my tallness!"
That thumbnail brought me here. He’s really a Schwarzenegger look-alike. Not just the face, but also the physical appearance. PS : i just checked the 1st Power Blade. And i had the same impression. did it really cost more than 100 $ ?
Is just me or there was a common "engine" among a bunch NES games, from different developers, mostly Japanese, with the same type of graphics and sound?
