suzumebachi Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I must stress the awesomeness of SUPER MARIO BROS 3. And I will second Shatterhand. Most of the other good stuff has already been mentioned: TNMT 2 & 3, Punch Out, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Duck Tales, Splatterhouse, etc. Forgetting lots, I'm sure.

danimal cannon Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Its all about Clash At Demonhead. Best game ever. That game kind of sucked. Least intuitive game direction ever. I never figured out what to do after I got the "mini" spell even after playing for hours and hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkwing Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 From what i remember... Solstice was a really fun and challenging game It has a sequel on the SNES called Equinox, which was also challenging and fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

po! Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Check page one again, duder ahh.. nice list you have there some more games that i remembered that aren't necessarily the obvious most popular ones: Anticipation Baseball Simulator 1.000 1943 Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers Gyrus Golf RC Pro Am Blades of Steel RBI Baseball really.. we could probably list every NES game that wasn't really obscure and they could be considered classic.

Eten Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 - Legacy of the Wizard (find a walkthru and beat this game. you will feel gratification beyond your dreams) Why did it take me five pages to find just one mention of this game?! Shame on the bunch of you. I've never defined myself as an old school gamer, but I put more time into these games and SNES games even today. Oh yeah, if you can, beat Legacy of the Wizard without a walkthrough. I did it... after over 10 years. The feeling of success afterwards is incredible though. Just take the tip that each crown/section is meant to be done by each character, once you follow that and get basic item and area recognition, you'll find it... possible.

Angelfarto Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Oh yeah, if you can, beat Legacy of the Wizard without a walkthrough. I did it... after over 10 years. I wish I could say the same. I came damn close tho. Back before gamefaqs, or even .com's at all - the Nintendo Power years - many-a-nights I spent exploring this unique game. But I'm older now and I just don't have the patience to learn the old games anymore. I find more satisfaction in just beating them as fast or thoroughly as possible, with hint sheets ><. But hell, if you're not already tainted by todays A.D.D. video games, by all means, this is/was definitely a game to throw a nice chunk of your life into.

Devyn Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Legacy of the Wizard is not a classic game. I love it. I remember my Dad renting it for me when my tonsils were ripped out, drooling on the floor with a gallon of ice cream wondering what the hell to do. It's got cool music, it's weird, it's got that fun 'collect and explore' gameplay, but it is not a classic game. It is an oddball that you have to love.

BardicKnowledge Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Did you have to complete certain sections before others? I own Legacy, and remain thoroughly confused by it (though running around blind is a great time -- the platforming is solid, and the music rocks).

Cecilff2 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hmm you guys have already said everything except... The Lone Ranger! It's pretty amusing for a while. And for some reason only bandits and women wander the towns. Decently long shooter game with a password system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derrit Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 how about every ninja turtles game for NES? I loved them as a child, swear to god i rented them at least 25 times cause I wasn't allowed to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaif Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm actually really surprised that this one was not mentioned. It may not be considered a very good game, but it definitely is a classic.... Anyone remember PaperBoy? I think that was one of the games that the nes came with for a while... Not sure though. I spent a decent amount of my life just playing that game, and never finishing it. Pretty hard game for me when I was 8 or so. I don't know if I will ever go back though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Paperboy is still brutal as hell. It's weird too. All in all a great game and I'd like to see it on virtual console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that you just have to survive till next week to beat the game, then you retire in glory. Also fuck the tornadoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own Legacy, and remain thoroughly confused by it (though running around blind is a great time -- the platforming is solid, and the music rocks). Yes you do. Just from memory. Take the daughter and go fetch the gloves. That's like top level, very short, out of the giant fish made of blocks. Then go back for the Dad as you complete his section first. Or at least running off w/ the dad is what I would do instinctively. If you think of the labyrinth going off into 4 different sections from the dragon, one for each character(Dad, Mom, Daughter, and Family Pet. The son is a wuss and doesn't do any work until the end). I'm pretty sure the dad's to the left and up. Although you may also do the family pet's one at any time, and his is also likely completable by other characters(you can do a spike-walk) but remember that the crown bosses get progressively harder. If you are persistent that should get you through the game. Each next step you should feel pretty confident in your characters block moving and mobility items.
