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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

The only part I must respectfully disagree with is Nightmare on Elm Street. Cannot be stressed enough, but while it was distributed by the Rainbow of Doom, it was crafted by the very capable hands of the one and only Rare. This game was a really solid platformer for its time. It had great jump mechanics for an NES game. Another cool element was that, unlike a great many film adaptations on the early consoles, it stayed very close to its source material with its environments, its bosses (mostly), the sleep/"Zzz's" system, the Dream World versions of the levels, the Dream Warrior powers and so on. Just as well, in my opinion, this game had what was easily some of the best music in the NES library. For me, it's an "A" rank on this one. The only things stopping it from being a home run for me are the placement of some of the infinitely respawning enemies (and their hasty respawn times) and the strange, out-of-place "slippery/ice environment" movement mechanic. I love this game, though, and I go back and play it quite often.
