by that time when no reviews on game, before I buy games on my SNES, my friend and I always went to National Bookstore, a store where we can only find some video game magazine, that time you can peak on a magazine if not sealed and see if what game is new and good then put it back and start hunting for that game.

Many years later I bought Battletoads, and now I can proudly say that I finished that game with no warp zones and no 2nd level crow exploit :D

I hope no one hunts me down for this, but one game that I really hate is the original Zelda. I remember getting it in 86 or 87 and just not getting what my friends where so hyped about. I played it a bunch at first trying to get into it and so I would know somewhat what my friends where talking about it never happened. I have tried to play it a dozen or so times over the last 25 years, and I dislike it as much today as I did thin. With that being said A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker are three of my favorite games.

@randomenvelope 10 жыл бұрын

I've played and finished Zelda 1 100%, but I think it is very poorly made. The fact you needed to buy a guide to actually know how to play it or what the fuck you are suppose to do is utter bullshit, thankfully, I played it in the era of the internet. Thank you internet. But its still bullshit.

@fy8798 10 жыл бұрын

randomenvelope You didn't need a guide. I played it without one. Including the second quest. It's still entirely valid to dislike it. I can understand why. But it's not badly made at all.

@randomenvelope 10 жыл бұрын

You don't NEED a guide but you were in for some insane amount of exploring if you decided not to and the fact you needed the light arrow to kill the final boss and there is NOTHING that tells you about it in game is bullshit! and also random walls being bomb-able or random burn-able trees I find is also lame, but most of them are just secret rupees, but some are heart containers. You can like it for all I care, I didn't say I dislike it, I just think its poorly made. I knew what I was supposed to do so I mildly enjoyed it. But I think it ages as well as a carton of milk from the 70's

@yarrose350 10 жыл бұрын

Oh no you don't! Don't you dare try to get out of the ass whooping you're gonna catch by pretending to like the other Zelda games!!! You already committed heresy by hating the original so don't you dare think you can redeem yourself with such a disgusting lie you pig!!!! Lol nah dude I understand your hatred of the original. I personally loved it and played it religiously after I got it for christmas the year it came out but man I tell ya, when you saved your game with like 12 hearts and came home from school to play it only to find that the god damn battery back up failed and erased days/weeks worth of exploring and devotion WASTED!!! Haha so it's not so hard to imagine the original Zelda being disliked. Tell me though, anything specifically you disliked about it other than what you already mentioned?

@aelc2829 10 жыл бұрын

I would say it is more open ended. It is supposed to be an adventure of your own not a guided quest. A Link to The Past catered to people on both sides of the coin a bit better but that is why many adored the game.

@AnArchyRulzz 7 жыл бұрын

People who dislike a video just because someone doesn't like a game you do shows how narrow-minded people on KZfaq are and unable to take an opinion.

@DehnusNorder 7 жыл бұрын

THey can dislike if they want, that it all fair. They just shouldn't get angry or be mean. But pressing a dislike button? Well that's their prerogative ;). Likes or dislikes are really not that important :P. I mean.. it's lower on the ladder than your Neighbour having an opinion on the colour of your back scratcher ;).

@AnArchyRulzz 7 жыл бұрын

DehnusNorder it just shows how close minded and how they are just unaccepting of a contrary opinion. Sadly the internet has created all these different bubbles where everyone reconfirms our opinion. So it makes people lash out when someone goes against their opinion. It is one thing to comment that you disagree. But to dislike the whole video because someone didn't like a game that you liked is absurd.

@DehnusNorder 7 жыл бұрын

Dave Hobbs Maybe, but if people show a dislike, they throw a dislike. That is nothing important to worry about really. I mean, you have the same with people worrying about likes. Who cares that they "press a link" on the web ;). It's their problem not yours or mine ;).

When you said that back in the day we would buy games based on the box it reminded me of when I was a kid. I had just gotten a SNES and my mom took me to the store so I could pick up a game. I would only get two or three games a year (Christmas, my birthday, and something in the summer) so I was looking long and hard. I decided on Final Fantasy 2 US because the box art looked so cool. I was I think 12 at the time so I've played a RPG before. Luckily my gamble paid off, unlike your gamble with Dynamic Dux haha

Fantastic vid as always sir. How ironic too, that you would wear that Alex Kidd shirt, since you vocalize exactly how I felt about that series in this video. Hated it so much back when it was fresh, but now I've become more of a fan. Same thing with Super Hang-On; it just seemed impossible back when it came out on the Genesis (as a kid), but nowadays I'm a huge fan of it.
