Ninja Gaiden Trilogy Review

Ninja Gaiden TrilogyThe Ninja Gaiden series had some of the greatest games on the NES.Ninja Gaiden trilogy has all three of these games with slightly improved graphics.The controls are a little quirky, and the graphics aren't that much better than the NES version, but the games are great nonetheless.This is a must-buy for fans of the series.

Conquest of the Crystal Palace Review

Conquest of the Crystal PalaceWhy was this game not popular?I think it must have been the box art!I randomly played this gem on an emulator recently, and it was so good that I bought the cartridge!

Conquest of the Crystal Palace is an above-average sword-slashing platform game.You control a Prince who, with his dog, is storming his family's former home to take it back from some bad guys.

The gameplay is unique in that you can call your dog into battle at any time to help you fight the demons and zombies and birds.The controls are fairly solid.The difficulty is pretty well balanced, although the 2nd level seems to be quite a bit more challenging than levels 3 or 4.

The story is progressed through a series of encounters with a girl named Kim (who also sells you weapons and items).While you are shopping, she dresses as a news reporter and gives you a special report on the scenario (or the weather...).It's kind of bizarre, and pretty funny.

Overall, the game has a rather whimsical vibe to it.The box art is in no way reminiscent of the game's style.The graphics are all fairly cute, and the music is upbeat with an eastern melody.

If you like to play old NES platformers, this one is a rare treat for 50 cents or so on Amazon.Do yourself a favor and grab a copy.

Ninja Gaiden III Review

Ninja Gaiden IIINinja gaiden III it's top 5 stars, back in 1992 i had to be the biggestninja gaiden freak there was, i had played and beat all 3 parts in 1 summer,ninja gaiden one is a breeze that i can beat in 30 minutes tops, ninja gaiden II they put alot of work in the music in that game in my opinion capturing the "thunder and savvy of tecmo music!" as weird as that may sound, but it's pure entertainment ,splitting ryu's body into 3 parts helps you through that, and fighting jaquio in a rematch but to a failing attempt,ninja gaiden III is not so easy with badder enemies after ryu, and has betrayal,they didn't put as much effort into the music as the second part but is was enough tp keep people interested,with ryu's power sword and vaccum blades etc,jaquio and ashtar are not there but badder enemies are, next to mega man, contra or even mario bros. the best game ever...

Ninja Gaiden Review

Ninja Gaiden
For those of you that are "new gamers" and don't remember this series, this first game was one of the defining entries in the NES system and one of the reasons why the NES is considered one of the greatest systems ever. You play the role of Ryu Hayabusa, a ninja, and battle your way through levels and eventually must take the two demon stones away from Jaquio, the main bad guy.
The graphics were ok, but what made the game different were the animated cut scenes inbetween the "acts" (a.k.a. stages). I don't know if this was the first game to use them, but because of this game, many games thereafter did. The gameplay and controls are for the most part awesome.
Let me tell you, though, THIS GAME IS HARD. Time and time again, I have stated that the old NES games (at least the ones from 1985-1990) were made to [beat you]. This game is one of the reasons why. There's no spoonfeeding here; it takes a lot of patience and effort to defeat this game.
Overall, this is a CLASSIC. Simply fantastic. While the passwords in the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (...) provided a relief for the game, it's still nothing in comparison to playing the original NES version... no passwords. Fun and difficult, the way a game was meant to be.

Double Dragon (NES) Review

Double DragonI had been looking for this game forever.I just got a nintendo like a month ago and hadn't played it in like 10 years at least. Best thing i ever did:)Nintendo was so freakign long ago that I forget if I had ever played this outside of the arcade.WELL I NEVER HAD, the nintendo isn't quite as good as the arcade, but only becasue the game is shorter and has a few less types of enemies.But you will still be able to pick up the bats and the chains and everything.Have fun whoopin some butt in one of the greatest nintendo games ever!

Super C Review

Super CThen you need to pick up Super C, because of all the Contra games, I still find this to be the hardest of the lot.However, Super C is a game where you can't wimp out.Much like the first Contra, it takes practice to learn.However, as far as advancing the series goes, Super C does it in the way a game ought to do it.It keeps the same basic gameplay, but it throws in new enemies, harder levels and different level designs.Simply put, mastering the first Contra doesn't give you an edge in Super C.

There are eight levels in the game, and it works exactly as the first Contra did in this respect.You will go through, running and gunning through tons of enemies.You'll find many weapons for you to use.They all come from the previous Contra game.You'll find a machine gun, flame thrower (there are two types this time), laser and the Spread Gun.Again, as any Contra veteran can tell you, the Spread Gun is perhaps the best weapon you could hope to get.Strong, and can hit just about anything.

What makes Super C much harder than the first Contra game is simply that there is more stuff that comes at you.More enemies, and more gun shots to avoid.Combine that with the fact that the Classic Konami code DOES NOT work with this game.One hit, you're dead, and you've only got two lives to start with.You earn more by scoring lots of points, but with bosses that are much more difficult in scope and enemies that take a lot more time to predict, Super C will have you dying of frustration (perhaps even literally).

Super C does two player co-op exactly as the first one did it.Again, there are few games that do two player co-op better thanthe Contra series.Super C is no exception.

The music, while not better than the first Contra, is still fantastic.Graphic wise it's also better than the first Contra.It uses the same sprites but the environments are far more detailed.Allowing for more populated levels.

Old school gaming almost doesn't get any better.

Product Description:
THIS IS THE NES NINTENDO VIDEO GAME VERSION. ALL-TIME CLASSIC The original arcade version of Super Contra played essentially the same as its forebearer. The main difference was in its versatility. While the original "Contra" had three versions of gameplay (side-scrolling, up-scrolling, and pseudo-first-person), Super Contra added a top-view perspective as well as improving the scrolling levels by including inclined surfaces. As a result of this and changes to the enemy forces, it was a more difficult game to master. A quirk that it shared with the original Contra was the usefulness of the "Spread" gun. This gun made advancing through the levels much easier. It was a common occurrence that players reset the game if they lost this weapon, even though they were at a high level in the game. To beat the game required much more skill and experience than in the original.

Nintendo Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos Review

Nintendo Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of ChaosWhen this game first came out, it was a whopping $44 and up!! But fortunately because I behaved well, my parents got it for me. I started playing it, and instantly fell in love with it. It has an incredible soundtrack and a great feel to it. Ninja Gaiden was good too minus the horrible dreaded stage 6 "challenge of three bosses". This game is one I keep coming back to because it commands respect. They don't make em' like this anymore. I love how the story took a more apoctolyptic dramatic feel.

Product Description:
Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos picks up where the first game in the series left off. New characters are introduced into the increasingly intriguing plot and old ones make a return. Ryu must now rescue Irene from the evil Ashtar, who turns out to be Jaquio's master -- or is he? Control has been tightened, and Ryu has even more weapons and new moves to help him overcome his adversaries. ~ Aaron Kosydar, All Game Guide
