Needs more Crystalis
I played this on an emulator decades later and it was my all time favorite NES game. I ended up beating all 3 multiple times.
So many NES games require perfect timing under strong time pressure. This one being a puzzle game also requires some timing but you can plan your trip and try again if you mess up.
I actually helped develop levels for a copycat game some rando I met online made, it was fun!
Great, after reading the words City Connection, that music will be stuck in my head for a week
Jackal! That game was a bonding moment for my brother and I.
I love same-screen coop games. Too bad they aren’t popular any more after the 8-bit and 16-bit era.
It’s amazing how few great couch co-op games there are these days.
Did you just not play Super Mario Bros?
I did. Just not enough room for too many good NES games.
You had enough room to put Lifeforce on twice.
No Zelda? Boooooooo
Yeah, I agree. The NES was king back in the day.
Before that, it was Atari before the crash.
Then Sega joined the international market even though they were making systems in Japan.
Have I played on an actual NES, though? Technically on Nintendo Switch Online, yes.
Just not an actual system yet.
Hopefully, I’ll decide to collect for that soon but I’m also interested in the Sega Master System.
So many memorable childhood games. Much bonding over Jackal and fighting (or trying to start a fight) in Ice Hockey. Nice solo gaming with awesome music on Gun.smoke and Balloon Fight.
I’m glad emulators exist and work out of the box, so I could keep playing these games without any hassle on my computer even if the hardware has become hard to find.
Was Nekketsu Kouha Kunio Kun released as “Renegade” in the US? That screenshot looks a lot like the second stage. The characters’ clothes look different from what I remember though.
Surprised to not see TMNT or excitebike!
I mostly played Blades of Steel (an ice hockey game that turned into a fighting game every few seconds), TMNT and Top Gun. I think I landed on that goddamn carrier like 3 times combined, but it was still a blast! We also had a completely legal cartridge with 250 games on it, so I’m definitely forgetting something. I may need to get a CRT and try if my NES still works.
Top Gun is memorable in a frustrating way.
I enjoyed Blades of Steel too. But I like Ice Hockey better overall, mainly because they added weight/power to different player types. That might be the first sports game having such system.
For some reason Battletoads wasn’t popular/known in my region. For fighting games, we were into Double Dragon and Kunio Kun (River City).
I appreciate a fellow Jackal enjoyer
Wonderful time with coop (and when I had friends to coop with).
No Excite Bike?
I’d vote Dragon Quest III!
