Putting together a Manly collection of NES games. Thoughts?

[ThrashOmen]

You'll also notice I don't have Castlevania II - Simon's Quest up there. Their is good reason for that. I'm sure that if this thread get's any attention there may be a dispute as to whether it should be up there or not.

A dude destroys the King of all vampires in the first game, only to be cursed and die off within the week. Does he cry about it and lament to his son on his deathbed, asking to be avenged..?
Hell no! Bad-ass Wallachian Mofo grabs a whip made of FIRE, breaks into Castlevania once again, and in Dracula's own home, no less - he sets the vampires body parts ablaze... And as if that wasn't enough, the damn vampire comes back, only to be killed a second time, (and quite easily, at that...)

Not manly enough..? Hell, I'd think that makes for the manliest game on your list.. (well, except for Bad Dudes, or course..)

I agree. If it wasn't for the annoying night and day changes and the confusing RPG-ish elements, this game would definetely be up there. Also I've never beaten it. Mainly because I got sick of falling into holes I couldn't see or detect so I pulled it out and threw it into the corner and never touched it again. Although the fire whip is definetely my favorite whip aside from Rondo of Blood.

Also after review... Nobody is killed in Punch-out and all of the "opponents" (Not enemies) are human... Not to mention Don Flamenco. Unless you consider beating him as a hate crime then I do not think I can accept this into my compilation.

Hey guys I updated the pending list and put which games I'm accepting and which games I'm not. Also this is for a small project that I'm doing, those of you who made the suggestions I'll contact you when It's ready and you can help if you wish!

Thanks for all the suggestions once again, I rediscovered some games I forgot were bad ass and even learned about some I had never heard of!

Rush'n Attack

Manly stuff. You, a knife and a thousand terrorist. Or Russians, or whatever they are.


Never mind. I see it was already on the list.

Golgo 13 - I did not enjoy this game at all :/ The graphics were pretty terribl and the way he stands makes me think he was molested with a broken mop handle. Plus, I used to play a game similar to this that was WAAAY better... Secret Ties! Which I'm not including either so don't feel bad.

Did you play both of them? They don't really start off that strong. You have to get a good ways into each to really get to the sex scenes, or to Golgo 13 smoking to restore his health. The graphics are WAY better in the Mafat Conspiracy than in Top Secret Episode.
The second one even includes a bloody head shot through a sniper rifle.

Rescue: The Embassy Mission - Too slow and just not fun. I love the idea though I just wish it could have been more action oriented instead of trying to incorporate so much stealth.

Did you get to the first-person part in the building? There are, like, four phases to the gameplay in this one, and the stealth part is only the very first part.

Die Hard - Never really liked this game, too frustrating and not fun.

I didn't realize that fun was a requirement.

I'm not trying to pick on you or anything. I just thought you might not have given a couple of games a fair shake. Pick the games you want.

Aww of course fun factors into it!

Clint Eastwood is as manly as they come but the game is a complete dishonor to his name! Same with siehard. John Mclane is a badass and a half. He has a Feet bar (foot health bar) that diminishes when you walk over glass and debris. This implies that John Mclane forgot his shoes before deciding to overthrow these terrorist masterminds. Thus making him look like a retard It's really just milking a single scene in the movie where his feet were fucked up but then they incorporate it into the entire game! The music drones on and enemies cheaply spray bullets all over the place

Sure there are games with manly elements but when brought together with the actual developer it's as if they didn't even play their own game and were trying to cash in on a successful franchise.

I will admit I always loved the way your perception was realistic and depending on where your character is what you could and couldnt see.

Now I know that opinions can be thrown around and I don't want to dis anyones games that they grew up playing so dont take anything I say to heart.

Narc

OMG yes! Drug needles, man! Drug needles!

[ThrashOmen]

Narcs already on the list!

The arcade machine of Narc was down the street from my old house when I was a kid. WAAAAAY cooler in arcades
