Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) i like this game i'm trying to find the anime on dvd... i was too lazy to write down the key codes and part II Edited April 28, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Anyone remember SHARP X68000, a home computer with technology a head of its time. playing perfect arcade port in the late 80s. Capcom used to program on it for their CPS1 game. Quote
Scyla Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Managed to get an old SNES cartridge of Terranigma this weekend at a local flea market. After the last boss in Secret of Evermore humiliated me I will give the game a try after I finished SoE, Sadly I only got the bare bone cartridge an no box. The guy was trying to sell a MISB Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask for the N64 to a guy and almost inlcuded this gem into the offer but I managed to be faster and got this one for a good price. Can't wait to play it. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 i like this game i'm trying to find the anime on dvd... i was too lazy to write down the key codes Yeah, Zillion was a great game. I didn't know until years later it was a clone of Impossible Mission. As for DVDs, good luck. I had an easier time finding the toys. The fansub floating out there did a great job on the entire series though. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 the nes game was hard, never beat it: love the music here's a guy doing it no cheats: Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Blazing Star Arcade no death run: but the guy is using rapid fire so it's cheap. (i'm going to try this game on mame) Edited May 7, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) dragon spirit arcade one coin, claims no rapid fire (maybe... i think he's using it but regardless, this is impressive), this game was hard as hell!!!!!!!!!! Edited May 7, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Remember PULSTAR for the Neo Geo, done by the same R-Type team. Speaking of video game sound tracks, any of you liked Herzog Zwei OST. Quote

Speaking of video game sound tracks, any of you liked Herzog Zwei OST. the only thing i remember about Herzog Zwei was that it had a weird name with a cool cover. i thought it was a game related to thunder force II back in the days but never played it. (wasn't made by techno soft as well?) but then i was too antsy back then to get into strategy games. i think madden on the genesis was the closest thing but i just button mashed on the menus. edite: ok, i found it: wow! i should play it. looks good.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) anyone ever beat this classic nes game i thought the vehicle was so cool. i remember an issue of Nintendo Power had a model of that thing hovering and all these cool effects. i wish i had that model: Edited May 11, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
dizman Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Heh I used to play blaster master all the time, loved the exploration part of it. I don't think I ever actually beat it though, I saw it was on the 3ds E-shop so maybe I'll pick it up and give it another go. Quote

reddsun1 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I found a website a few days ago that has emulators allowing online play of a whole slew of classic arcade games: game oldies dot com. The keyboard controls are a bit awkward, but it's still a hoot to see and be able to play so many old games. Ah, the memories... I finally was able to do what I never had enough quarters for when I was a kid: I finally beat Double Dragon and Double Dragon II [woot! ]. Had to give up on Ninja Gaiden though. Good thing it doesn't cost per-play this time around; that damn thing was a quarter-taker! Quote

Had to give up on Ninja Gaiden though. Good thing it doesn't cost per-play this time around; that damn thing was a quarter-taker! reddsun1, i haven't found one video on youtube of a human being beating ninja gaiden (in a quarter) i thought that game was impossible. double dragon, was easy to beat in a quarter with the one overpowering move for each game. dd 1 = elbow smash dd 2 = back kick (technos corrected the enemy to duck elbows but the back kick works for the entire gm lol) my friend was really mean... at the beginning of stage two, he would tell gullible kids to jump down the pit and something special would happen. when they would, they would ask what just happened?? he would just reply "you died..." messed up!! ah, the days of the arcades wow, i found one video without invincibility or sword cheats, it's under the EU title shadow warriors Edited May 12, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
danth Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 One of the prides of my youth was beating Double Dragon at a 7-11 with only two quarters. Quote

Good thing it doesn't cost per-play this time around; that damn thing was a quarter-taker! Ryu Hayabusa was soo squishy then. If a normal thug landed a full combo on him, it meant death. Yeah, that game was abnormally hard. My first one credit beating of a game came from this gem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=QOE5R1PWRMY Killer Zuntata tunes? Check. Fantabulous mecha design? Check. Awesome flying car with hidden modes that differ with each ending path? Check. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Oh wow, my best friend used to play Master Blaster ALL THE TIME when we were kids. I know that he beat it a couple of times, I was never able to. This thread brings back a lot of good 8 bit memories. -b. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Skimmed through the thread already see NES/SNES classics like Contra, Zelda, Lifeforce, Master Blaster, Super Street Fighter, Castlevania, etc. mentioned. I didn't see anyone talking about; F-Zero http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2T5u9nD_I0I Bionic Commando http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rE_JIUoeHX0 Rygar (LOVED this music LOL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=It7RcosmBr4 Really enjoyed playing others like Metroid, Double Dribble, Pro Wrestling, Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 and, and, and, and... -b.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Rygar nes was looooong and awesome. the music to this gm was great as well as the gm itself: http://youtu.be/GWeW9sxP6ik Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Bionic Commando was HARD. Only ever saw the ending because I watched a friend do it. HARD games: Bionic Commando Battletoads Bug! (yeah, the Saturn one---still among the most unforgiving games ever when it comes to jumping--literally one pixel off and you die) Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I heard Battletoads was insane. i never tried it bc as a kid i thought it was a fake tmnt. great game that i need to play... anyone remember this: i want to play it but i can't bc you have to use the nes zapper in certain stages Edited May 16, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Really enjoyed playing others like Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 and, and, and, and... -b. speed run of nes ninja gaiden 1 and 2, i wanted to watch it myself bc i never beat it.. got far but always had to turn off the nes when it got too late: wow this guy is impressive...

Kanedas Bike Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Oh dude, watching that speed run of Ninja Gaiden 1 brought back so many memories. Stupid birds!!! -b. Quote

renegadeleader1 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Bionic Commando was HARD. Only ever saw the ending because I watched a friend do it. HARD games: Bionic Commando Battletoads Bug! (yeah, the Saturn one---still among the most unforgiving games ever when it comes to jumping--literally one pixel off and you die) I never had a problem with Bionic Commando because I found a place in area 1 where I could grind and build my health up quick. Battletoads overall isn't that hard, its that one particular vehicle level that f***'s you up. As far as hard I would have to add Metal Warriors to that list. I have to this day yet to beat it, and its not from lack of trying. You have very limited continues, no saves, no passwords, one life, and if the mech you are in gets too much damage you loose all weapons leaving you to either eject and find a new mech or try to run away.

Black Valkyrie Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Hard games ?! don't forget the MSX games : 1- Nemesis II/ Gradius II. 2- Nemesis III/ Gradius II Episode II. 3- Salamander. 4- Knightmare. 5- Zanac. 6- Ascii's Castle. Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) NES Zanac i was able to beat without continues: the best weapon till the last stage is 1 full powered up. bc it's fully powered up ring weapon can penetrate the mini bosses armor and will your shots will not bounce off them which not many people know. (both numbers 1 and 5 fully powered up can shoot without the bullets bouncing off the mid- flight bosses.) most peeps use 7 all the way through. the final stage i use 0 because it's omni directional to kill the side and rear enemies. there's a lot of secrets in the game. such as getting double to triple rate of fire (without using a rapid fire cheat) by taking in massive amounts of yellow power ups. (it takes about half way-3/4ths through the game to get the maximum rate of fire.) i've done it only once. here's a guy doing a run through: Edited May 23, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Blazing Lazers on the turbo grafx 16: made by the same maker of Zanac, and has a similar power up system using numbers. it's awesome... i still play this these days: Review: (the other playthrough clip doesn't come out well) Correct video needed to see both sides of the lasers for weapon III.

Black Valkyrie Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 The game is good but Soldier Blade is far better. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) i'll try soldier blade... retro arcade is coming to two locations in Manhattan: http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/25/5750130/barcade-locations-new-york-manhattan i'm going to check them out when they're ready... loved this game in the arcades: very under rated and you had to be patient for it to get good: Edited May 27, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
