My favorite hidden gem is a fairly unknown platformer for NES called Kirby's Adventure.

Technically speaking it's aged better than AC1, though not as well as AC2.

AC2 aged rather poorly too due to no camera movement and target tracking. AC3 added that and sequels play virtually the same as 3.

Ac2 excels at level variety and atmosphere tho. I will try the game out, thanks.

it would be better if you can shoot innocent cars. The shitty Batman and Robin movie game lets you kill the people why cant this

I fail to see how a show about police chases could be shitty.

This was the best possible shit I could hear about a game back in the day when friends were something you physically saw in real life.

Many nights spent playing this with a bro when I was younger. Love it.

I can't find any multiplayer gameplay online, how exactly does the shooting work? Can you use a lightgun by chance? The concept of one player driving and the other shooting reminds me of the arcade game Lucky & Wild, and the Starsky & Hutch game for PS2/Xbox/PC (It's also on GameCube, but without lightgun support)

Been a while since I played It, but from what I remember, the reticle followed the front of your car in singleplayer (you could still control it, up and down and side to side, but it was kinda tough), while in co-op, one player would drive and the other would freely control the reticle and shoot

love that starsky and hutch game

Yeah. In singleplayer there is autoaim but its pretty wonky.

I also remember the game requiring a dual shock controller and wouldn't work with the original one.

Underrated stuff... I always thought ps1 Spec Ops games were pretty detailed and autistic attempt of a mil-sim for its time.

Aliens, Predator, and Doom, all mixed together and turned into a platformer with fluid mouse aiming, a great atmosphere (once you turn off the rather unfitting music), and an incredibly easy-to-use editor.

A pity it's largely forgotten about.

there's the 3ds version if you're really think any of that of true
