Name My Baby!(yes I'm serious)

Not to mention that Kid Icarus and Metroid came out around exactly the same time - I remember I saw both in the Toys R Us and decided on the latter. Whew, dodged a bullet there. I later borrowed it from a friend and actually bothered to finish it, though the memory of the playing experience has been blocked from my brain. As I said, when I went back on an emulator and tried it, I was like "Uh. What?" It's one of those games like Karnov or Rygar which people only enjoyed in comparison to the other crap out there. Frankly I'd rather play Deadly Towers, which is at least hilarious in its sheer awfulness. Kid Icarus was just not fun, especially the whole first, oh, several hours where you just keep going up and up. I mean, what genius at Nintendo green-lighted a vertical platformer. Conceptual? Sure. Fun? About as much as taking an eggplant up the yazoo.

Fuck you guys...Zelda kicks all asses in the 8 bit...He is the shite...

Hey! You should name him Zelda...That would be awesome...

Actually Coor, Link would be the one who whips ass. All ZELDA ever did was get kidnapped by Ganon, who was a complete pussy.

But Simon Belmont still owns Links ass....not by as much as a landslide as Icarus, but its still owned.

I liked the Crying Game ending to Castlevania 3.

"Whoah. Good job, magician dude!"

"I'm a chick."

"Whoah! Let's get married."

Oh, i beg to differ.

I hate to do this, but i feel obliged to inform you that Zelda once fought for herself. Unfortunately, that was in the CD-i game Zelda: The wand of Gamelon, a game Nintendo doesn't want you to know about because it sucks.

Sorry to mention such a stain on Nintendo's career, but that's what they get for the Game Boy Micro.

Oh, pshaw. Shadowgate was an Infocom game for people who couldn't read with puzzles that made less sense than the ones in the original Zork.

but it was the first game on nintendo where you could commit suicide because you didn't like the game. and no, i don't mean just letting the character be beaten up, or 'accidentally' missing a jump across a pit.

i mean, you could just jump through a window.

Shadowgate on the NES was a good example of the baffling trend of companies to take decent computer games and translate them into agonizingly clunky and unplayable NES games. I dare anyone to attempt playing the NES version of Ultima 5 without going insane.
