Just spent $30 for these two games
Seems to be about ebay prices. I never even heard about these games till last week, was surpized to find them both at the same place. Journey to silius has a killer soundtrack. Anyone played either?

Also post your recent purchases

[NESfag No.867324]

They're both great but I have a soft spot for Journey To Silius.

It was made by Sunsoft and was supposed to be a Terminator game but they lost the license during development of the game.

The soundtrack has that recognizeable "Sunsoft NES bass sound" which is the best bass sound you could get on NES imo, you can also hear it in Gremlins 2 and Gimmick

hmm
I don't ive ever even played any sunsoft nes games
ill have to check them out

Both excellent games.

Good find OP.

[Anonymous No.867342]

>>867313
Both are great games. $30 might be a bit much, but Silius is much beloved so I guess it's no surprise. If you've never heard of these, you probably still have a lot of gems to discover on the NES; good luck!

Yeah, I grew up on the SNES so that my console I know well (and the N64) I remember when I first saw a nintendo cart at the mall I was so confused

[Anonymous No.867358]

Faxandu is great, one of my favourite NES RPGs. It will probably a bit hard though, unless you also palyed Zelda 2 to get some experience

[Anonymous No.867360]

I recently chose to buy a PAL copy of faxanadu and mcdonaldland (both boxed with manual) instead of a boxed wit manual PAL battletoads vs douvle dragon.... what did i do guise ???

Faxanadu's passwords will make your eyes bleed. Make sure to write them down VERY CAREFULLY. You'll rage at how similar some letters look.

Hey OP if you're looking for more overlooked NES games, check out Conquest of the Crystal Palace, it's a really great side-scrolling action adventure with a store and upgrade system. Also Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu is a really great platformer starring (duh) Jackie Chan!

[Anonymous No.867520]

Man, I got Faxanadu boxed and perfect condition from ebay for $5 a few years ago.

It's good, but you got ripped off.

[Anonymous No.867589]

>Conquest of the Crystal Palace
looks neat. I love games that have an upgrade system. the gameplay im watching reminds me of Wonder Boy in Monster Land.
Any overhead games like zelda?

[Anonymous No.867624]

Picked up MGS in decent condition and all three N64 Turoks for about $20 at a pawn shop a week ago. I feel like it was a pretty good deal.

They had to make some artistic changes, but they still made a far better terminator game than the official NES one that was released 2 years later. Silius was vastly superior.

Radical Entertainment completely shit the bed with that official terminator game, and this was in 1992 when they were trying to compete with 16-bit systems.

Faxanadu isn't worth what you paid for it, but it's a great game. IDK about Journey to Silius.

Evidence points to "yes."

Anyway, nice pickups, OP. Been trying to get my hands on a copy of Journey to Silius myself.

if it's an elephant in the room because it's seen as a bad thing to your guys you need to go fuck yourselves
I only brought it up because I like traps.
not so you guys could berate some one for being different.

[Anonymous No.868131]

>>868120
I don't get why it would be an "elephant in the room" anyhow. I only brought it up as an aside because I like traps. Since when does /vr/ care so much about this?

[Anonymous No.868134]

>>867326
Batman and Blaster Master are their biggest legacy, I guess, but they wrote lots of great games.

[Anonymous No.868143]

Oooh, Faxanandu!

Yeah, $30 is almost good for that game alone, Silius ain't shabby either.

I sold all my games and switched to flash carts, but I probably would've been happy with those.

[Anonymous No.868142]
