    I’m actually one of those people who legitimately likes Ice Climber. I think the controls were designed to be that way to make it more challenging and you have to really plan out every move you make. Not to mention the music is phenomenal, and the game all around just has a particular vibe to it that I love.

  • @garb7477
    @garb7477 Před měsícem +6

    The neat thing about NES Golf is unlike latter golf games; the slope arrows I believe all go the same direction once you are on the green. I had experience the Mandela effect with this game as I thought there was multiple directions for the slopes on the greens.

    Sky Kid is still one of my favorite NES games. I remember playing it at this pizza place by my house as a kid. I probably could've bought an NES console with the amount of quarters I spent on that game over the years lol.

    Heh, I had a paper route when I was 9 or 10. Was over 100 papers, good thing I had a bike (sometimes I got driven). Then they ended up just putting that paper inside of the main one...... WOW big ups to you, I love every second of this!

    Where’s MC KIDS (Mcdonaldland in Europe) that’s the only game I have for the NES in fact I bought an NES JUST so I can play that game. I was able to download and play the Amiga version on Windows 10/PC and it has save states. Nostalgia is Helluva Drug! 😊

  • @robertanderson2898

    I think 1990 was the best overall year for NES games. I'm glad they made Mega Man 4, 5, and 6! Oh the name of the cat from Tiny Toons was Furrball (yes, with two R's).

    @dotdecorandmore7480 Před měsícem

    0:55 Sure, it means nothing in English, but the term "kuru-kuru" in Japanese means to go around and around, hence why the gameplay is the way it is. And most likely to make it easier to say (or maybe even for more appeal), Nintendo changed it to "clu-clu".

    I actually conquered Athena But i had to call the nintendo power hotline way too many times. I borrowed it from a friend and I tried to love it but it was so Difficult. It needs a full on remake. Because it is just even so hard for me to go back to, I try but I just hate this game sometimes. I have some nostalgia for it But the physics and everything is just terrible. Do not play the arcade version, It is so much worse and so much harder and wants to eat quarters like crazy. I bought the arcade version on the nintendo switch And I was so disappointed far beyond The one we got on the NES. Is a great idea terrible game.

    The LJN WWF games actually got worse over the years. With WrestleMania, at least each wrestler had their own moves. By the time you get to King of the Ring, no one has their own moves, the wrestlers look terrible, and it's just a colorized version of the Gameboy game. Wrestling games on the NES never got better than. Pro Wrestling.

  • @howy3333
