I Ranked Every LJN game on NES
Рет қаралды 123,427
Күн бұрынLJN gets a bad rap for being synonymous for 'bad games' but I'm here to tell you not all LJN games are bad. In fact, some are pretty decent! Here's a look at all 26 LJN games for NES and where I rank them.

I loved the X-Men so much and I was so hyped about getting this game. I was terribly disappointed and even more so with my favorite xman being the worst character in it. Wolverine was atrocious. No ranged attacks, basic attacks and slow. I think he slowly healed but it doesn't matter when you are at the mercy of gates and a timer when you beat a boss. I wanted to like this game but I just couldn't.

Recently, I fired it up to try again...Didn't make it 5 minutes into the game, and I'm like nope...not going to happen.
@Marc_Araujo Жыл бұрын
I beat the Karate Kid multiple times as a kid. The trick is to cheese the enemies that pop up and get them to either run past you by switching levels or by getting three of them to constantly chase you which keeps new enemies from spwning ahead of you and you can just rush to the end, as long as you keep enough distance from them.

Games like Jaws and Nightmare on Elm Street provide fond memories because I simply owned them. Its like you said - back then you played a game because you had it. I remember getting Nightmare on Elm Street at a yard sale for $1 loose cartridge and recently seen it loose at a pawn shop for $50 (Canadian). The owner explained the AVGN episode boosted its value, and he also told me it retains value because its the ONLY Nightmare on Elm Street video game out there. Is that true?

It's nice to see some love for Friday The 13th. I honestly think it's unfairly panned, and if it had been put out by ANY other publisher, it would be recognized - at least - as an incredibly ambitious, if flawed, ancestor of the survival horror genre. The open-ended gameplay is particularly impressive, by third gen standards. The player is given a huge amount of freedom to explore strategies and find their own way through the game, and you really didn't see that in most NES games.

Good list, John! I would actually encourage you to take the time to play Thrilla's Surfari a bit more because it really is a solid game. I rented it back in 1992 when it was new so I certainly have that nostalgic attachment to it but it is genuinely good once you get a feel for the controls/gameplay and nuances within the game such as collecting coconuts (gives you more tries in the bonus game so that you can get extra lives) and what not. It's the one LJN game I own if that means anything. ;) I do agree with you on Jaws because that game is so simple yet it's a fun little gem. You are making me want to try Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street though!

To me it's one of the most underrated games.

LJN published 25 NES games, 15 SNES games, 18 or 19 Gameboy games, 1 Dreamcast game, an accessory for the NES(the Rolling Rocker) and a console(the LJN Video Art). He has covered quite a lot of their games, the Rolling Rocker in his "Nes Accessories" video and the LJN Video Art in one of his Christmas videos so i would say that he's near the end. Although he covered "Spirit of Speed"(the LJN Dreamcast game and their last one) in a James and Mike video and not as the AVGN. Here's hoping he covers Spirit of Speed as the AVGN, that would be cool and funny to see. I can only imagine the AVGN celebrating like crazy and throwing quite a party like he did when he finished with Action 52, upon finding out "Spirit of Speed" is the last LJN game. 😀😁

Jaws, Ft13, and T&C are all A's. The replay value on those games were insane. I'd even give KK an A because it was so hard to play yet you wanted to keep playing it because of the story and the music.
