/vr/ - Retro Games

Ah, weekly Adventure threads.

It's fun how OP thinks Heroes and Shadow are better when they have the exact same amount of bullshit, just in different form.
Heroes wants you to deal with its wonky controls, railway levels, casino, and Chaotix missions, and Shadow is full of bad level design decisions.

I like all three games though, despite their flaws.

Never even heard of this game as a kid. But the thing is, Dendy cartridges were like Pokemon, certain games were more common in a certain regions of country. I never encountered Bucky O'Hare, none of my friends played or even knew about it, and yet this is one of the most popular Dendy games across the entire Russia.

The stuff I played the most:
TMNT 1-4
Mitsume ga Tooru
Adventure Island III
Rockin' Kats
Nekketsu games (soccer, mostly, but my friends loved Kakutou Densetsu)
plus Contra and Battle City that already mentioned

> Super Mario Bros.

One day my mom said we're gonna get me a new cartridge so we went to game store and the seller put out SMB3 cartridge and said "Hey this one is good". I looked at it and thought it's some uninteresting shit (I didn't even recognize it's Mario, i just saw the world map and thought it's the main gameplay). We didn't buy anything that day and I never saw SMB3 in store again. What a poor idiot child I was.

I had this one on a 2-in-1 cartridge. It's really weird to know it's a meme nowadays.
