Had this game and loved it to death. The eccentric enemies were really fun (toilet seats, severed feet etc) as were the "environments".
inb4 compulsory "did you know the entire map is interconnected".

>>6372689
The game totally has that Euro look to the graphics, Japanese games didn't look that way.

I was obsessed with this game as a kid, but I never beat it w/o Game Genie. Guess I suck at games.

This is one of the rudest NES games out there, the boss is fucking nuts, you have to hit him rapidly 20 or so times and if you stall for even a split second his health completely regenerates, added on top of this meteors are constantly falling to fuck you up and you have a time limit. Damn

>>6372685
Boring Contra ripoff

No it's pretty damn hard to beat

>>6372685
Favorite NES game hands down.

It looks great, is there anything rare can't do? Gameplay wise I don't see what's going on.

I loved this game as a kid and actually got pretty good at it, but could never beat that fucking final boss. The music is pretty great too, although that later level music used to creep me out.

It featured 2 player co-op in a 3D environment on the NES. I think that says everything desu

Fucking great game. I felt like a pro as a kid once I mastered the ability of changing direction on mid-air. Hard, but packed full of secrets once mastered. The Mega Drive version plays OK, but I prefer the NES look, probably because of fagtalgia. Didn’t learn about the Game Boy sequel, Sneaky Snakes, till years later. Spent a few minutes with it but was put off by it being 2D. It’s probably OK, I dunno.

I played it and I liked it hooray

>>6372886

Tried it, seems very good except for those blind surprise kills like razors and anvils. Cool how every Rare game looks like Rare made it. Truly the NES will forever be best console.

My cousin and I used to play this all the damni time growing up. Its brutally hard though, and I only ended up beating it for the first time within the past few years. As a kid we were able to make it all the way up to the stage before the summit, but those final jumps are absolutely brutal.

A great time is had until the ice mountain. If you have not become completely comfortable with the controls you are fucked. Even if you have, the last sloped path and jump to the exit will fuck you regardless.

No, the sudden difficulty is absolutely noteworthy. Up until before the first ice level, the levels are 5/10 worst. Then suddenly you have a solid 9/10 followed by a solid 10/10. There's a jump that isn't like anything else in the game as well as sloped ice. It feels like there was an interim level that they just yanked out or something.

Haven't heard of this until now

>>6375047
>>6375493
how many levels are there

>>6375047
Oddly enough, I also used to play this game with my cousin, and we got stuck at the same spot. If I remember correctly, some of the jumps are even harder with two players because you have to both perform them more or less simultaneously.

>>6375497
Its a shitty side-scroller, and not really worth your time

>>6375705
11 if you include the summit. Each stage has you progressively climbing a single mountain, so there is an incredible sense of progression.

I always like how u can see the lighting and evironment go from daytime to twilight to dead of night. Really cool.

so did any of you guys go out and beat this since seeing this thread?

>>6378698
No but I'm playing it because of this thread, actually. Never owned it as a kid and I had seen it and booted it up before in my roms but never really gave it any time. This thread convinced me to take another look and it really is a remarkable game.

>>6372685
Played it in my childhood. Never got past the few first few levels

I played this quite a bit as a kid. I could maybe get through half of it because there was such a steep hike in difficulty after about level 6. This is what the whole game looks like

whoah

>>6379451
I haven't played it properly in many years, but looking over that map brings back some good memories.

>>6379451
Literally Contra.

>NINTENDO GAMEBOY
Actually. The Nintendo bit on the left is a bit harder to make out, but it is there.

>>6379796
What does it mean? Advertising for the sequel?
