I enjoyed this a few times when I was young.

This is a nice concept for a YouTube channel. Basically, dude goes off course and looks at zoomed out versions of stages in games looking at things the user was probably not supposed to see. This is cool as hell man.

^ that one had the fighting

 

[TURBO UNO]

^ that one had the fighting

That must be the game I rented but couldn’t remember the name. My neighbor friends thought I was either making it up or confused it with Blades of Steel for the NES.

2001 was a crazy year.

Life before micro transactions and live service crap.

Miss it not taking 10+ years for the next installment of my favorite franchise to come out. Miss the days when companies like Valve still made video games. Miss the days of Madden not sucking. Miss a lot of stuff really.

I never had PS1 or PS2. Have been trying to play some classics lately and in the near future. Finishing up Shadow of the Colossus now and gonna do ICO next. Will go for Metal Gear Solid after that.

Sixth and 7th console generations will always be the GOAT to me. Loved the NES/SNES era as well. Nostalgia sorta blinds you to how good some of those NES games really were though. You can beat the original Legend of Zelda in like 2 or 3 hours if you know what you're doing. Back in the day that game felt like Skyrim.

Those older games did not hold your hand, could only beat the og legend of zelda with a walkthrough. Crazy how you would have to place a bomb on random rocks or use an item on a bush to unlock hidden areas. Not sure how nintendo expected kids to be able to find those out on their own

My parents had no money growing up so my NES came from a garage sale. And wasn’t allowed to have a Nintendo Power subscription. But the cool kids at school would bring NP to look at them maps/cheat codes.

This game blew my mind when it came out. Still one of my all time top favorites/memories.

I was never a huge Kid Icarus fan.

It definitely had a different vibe than Metroid.

The wild thing back then were the passwords which you could skip to other areas .

I just want to fight Mike Tyson. Bet (Mike proceeds to TKO).

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! & Ninja Gaiden were two of my favorites

 

[spiderjericho]

Mike Tyson was a hard boss.

And I remember having anxiety in fighting that demon at the end of Ninja Gaiden. It’s crazy thinking back that NG series went from Castlevania influence to DMC.

Loved this back in the day. You could play as Nick Fury, too.

 

[spiderjericho]

Capgod 90s beat ‘em ups were staples. Final Fight, Dungeons and Dragons, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Punisher, etc.

I just didn’t like their SNES Final Fight sequels.

 

[TURBO UNO]

Loved this back in the day. You could play as Nick Fury, too.

I loved Capcom x Marvel games
