Game gets hard. Have this "obscure gem"

One game that surprised me pleasantly was Tenchu, I burned a copy of the import and beat it before its US release. Oh! And Choro Q. The Playstation ones are super fun especially 2.

I've seen Choro Q, but thought it looked M&Ms racing-tier. I might give it a shot now.

Why did you expect a pile of shit? It was basically one of the premier NES video games. Most people I know who grew up with an NES owned it or had rented it

The physics are kartlike but the tuning is legit and the little world is so fun and happy. Like a little toon town but one that's actually all about racing. Don't just grab the PS2 one or Penny Racers on N64 play one of the original Tamsoft games on PS1.

Played Vandal Hearts for the first time in 2010. Wasn't expecting much by the game's art and the year of release. It holds up.

Amazing story, especially concerning an 8-bit system. pic-related is a wonderful example of this kino

this game was hard as fuck to figure out as a 10 yr old. i got to some point where i was sniping something, then in a helicopter sidescroller, and that was pretty much it

Because I kept being told that it sucked and Mafat was better. It was but Top Secret Episode was nearly on par. Better in places.

The sniper section had me stumped until I realized there was a building to the right.

Top Secret Episode has the best title screen music in any video game ever. Nothing else screams "let's play this fucking video game" quite as loud.

Top Secret Episode (the first one) is much better than it has any right being. The Mafat Conspiracy (the sequel) is decent, but kinda forgettable. There were other Golgo games, but those two were the only ones released in the U.S. on the NES.

>> No.4265494

I always love seeing people talk about this game. I was lucky enough to get it before I even got INTO anime, before I realized why G13 is such a badass. Needless to say, I was surprised that such an obvious 'rest' passed by the Nintendo censors in both games.

>>4264990
Not at all. Top Secret Episode is balls to the wall hard(good luck when you get to the Amazon...even Greece is going to be a huge spike), but definitely awesome in its story if can keep it straight.
Mafat Conspiracy is better in its execution, and aside from one 'TWEEST', it's story is pretty standard East vs West tension. I like the sniper sections better in MC though, even though its frustrating only getting one shot.

>>4264926
We need more episodes of that, OR we need more of the manga translated.
