I somehow ended up with Guardian Legend in my possession as a kid. Easily the most underrated Nintendo (NES) game. I was not a heavy gamer and neither was my best friend but we sat and played through that entire game on one of his visits. It was just a great and rewarding game. I was surprised when Pam said she preferred the flight battle parts as I preferred the adventuring. It just shows how well balanced it is and how the variety can keep you engaged. I struggle to fully convince others how it's a really good title that's genuinely worth the time.
@wfow14483 жыл бұрын
This describes Guardian Legend almost perfectly. I'd only add that its soundtrack enhanced how well the game was, because it was constantly changing. Its one of the few game soundtracks I wish I could own by itself simply because of how great it was.

For the longest time, I'd wondered what it was about Mario 3 that people loved so much. Why not Super Mario World? I eventually realized something I'd never considered before: it was the warp whistles. Back in the day, you weren't going to finish Mario 3 in one sitting; you'd probably get somewhere around World 3 before you had to stop for one reason or another. The warp whistles gave you a way to see new worlds. Strange worlds. You'd wind up somewhere like 5-2, where you were trying to take the upper path, completely ate it, fell through what could best be described as plumbing purgatory, swam to the bottom of a pitch black pool, and fell out of a bright waterfall into an underground garden of equally bright green grass, blocks of rainbow ice, and weird beetle creatures that threw them at you. You'd pick a world, and because of the semi-nonlinear nature of the overworld map, you never really knew where you were going to end up; that sense of questioning whether that bizarre stage you discovered that one night was even real made the game feel absolutely huge, even endless. THAT is why the warp whistles were cool, though I do agree that eventually, it's best to see it all.

My top NES games; Crystalis and Maniac Mansion are my two favorite NES game of all time. Got them both as a 12 year old during an extremely difficult time in my life when my brother moved back to Iowa to live with our Dad, I lived in Washington with my mom. And they'd been divorced since I was 6. At the end of that summer I returned to Washington from Iowa to a new small house in rural Washington in a different school district. I was ONE depressed kid. Very tough time for me. Those games saved me. I played them over and over again and what better two games with great replay value than those 2? Then in no particular order, tie between Bionic Commando, Metroid, Faxanadu, Castlevania 3, Blaster Master, Shadowgate, Mega Man 2.

NES games were so hard to get where I lived. Mario 3 was one of four games I actually owned when I got the NES in the first place. But I can't think of any NES games I played that I was particularly fond of other than the Mario games. The Disney games (Ducktales, The Little Mermaid, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers) had difficulty all over the place, but were the ones that I enjoyed playing when they were rented. This is perhaps why I found some appeal in the Kingdom Hearts games. Also the Ducktales game got a remake recently.

one of my favorite games back then was faxanadu. it is a side scrolling rpg game similar to zelda 2, but not as popular. I remember that I was desperately struggling to get through the cryptic game solving all riddles only bit by bit. I basically never knew what to do and where to go, which was the real challenge in this game. in retrospective, zelda 2 might have been an overall better gaming experience. however, as you already mentionend at 5:25 , what we like most depends on the games we had access to. still dont wanna miss the memories with faxanadu though. same thing with startropics!

Oh, Yeah, Felix the Cat. Played and completed so many times. My friends and I used to compete with each other who will collect the most lives without dying in one playthrough. My record was 74) As for this top - great selection of games, love all of them except Startropics... Tried to play it several times, but just get bored really quickly. Though, it has nice music) My top 5 will probably be like this: 1 - Guardian legend 2 - Kyatto ninden teyandee (Famicom exclusive, based on anime series, outside of Japan its called Samurai pizza cats) 3 - Felix the Cat 4 - Ninja gaiden 3 5 - Rocking Kats

Great List. Flex is a hidden gem. Another great game that never gets any love is Jackel.

- Tiny Toon 1-2 - Chip ’n Dale 1-2 - Terminator 1-2 - Darkwing Duck Cannot sort them because I equally loved all the above games and many others. And there is a game that will be always very special for me. It's The Lion King. I loved absolutely beautiful graphics and very smooth and thorough animation in the game. It was great.

Yep, you had me at The Guardian Legend. One of my all time favorites for the NES; or any console. Beauty as well as good taste. There is such a thing as the perfect girl.

Little Nemo is so underrated. I saw an ad for it in a comic book, and it looked awesome. So my mom got it for me, and my friends and I all immediately fell in love. Never did beat that final Nightmare stage without Game Genie.
@RAPHA-19828 жыл бұрын
you should try it again. i find many games i played as a youth really easy now. i remember beating the nightmare king tho as a kid. i loved that you could finally use that wand he had with him throughout the whole game unused.
@starwarsunfiltered78487 жыл бұрын
frozenaorta Haha! I went through the exact same scenario. Around '91-'92 I borrowed the game from a friend who ended up moving away and leaving me his cartridge. While I initially disliked the game...It was hard!...I made slow but steady progress after weeks and months and eventually did get to that Nightmare level. And yep...I too could not beat it without Game Genie. I will be attempting a real win in the coming weeks when I play it on my emulator.

I remember when Startropics came out. It looked cool but I never picked it up. Then about five years ago, I scored one complete in box (with the letter) at Half Price Books on the cheap, so I played it through. Great game, awesome music and the right amount of challenge. Nice selection.

You have exceptional taste! You had me at Guardian Legend and Star Tropics I have very much the same sentiment about the music of Star Tropics. In fact, I beat the game once a year just to hear that epic ending music! I also have a great memory of renting Felix from Blockbuster haha. It was actually a pretty decent game!

***** It really is the most nostalgic and fun nes game for me... the atmosphere and music in it gave me so much nightmares as a kid that my parents forbid me to borrow the game anymore from another kid down the block :) years later (16-17 years ago) I bought a Pal A copy from England, had to "mod" my original console to make it work, and I sat down and I conquered that beast, sure it took me a month or two, because I didn't want to use a walkthrough, but I still play it about once a month when I'm chuggin' some beers, my new record is beating it in about 24-26 min.. I really love that game, it got me into books and music as I play several instruments nowadays, and Mega Man 3 and Final Fantasy VII had a big part in that as well ^_^

***** I grew up with the Lucas Art Games, King's Quest, Space Quest and Leisure Suit Larry Laffer games as a child (although I shouldn't have been allowed to play the latter at my age) so this game was right up my alley :) The remake they made a few years back is also a good game so give it a go XD
