| scotland yard said: Kid Icarus -- I was maybe five when I owned this, but I remember it being the hardest game I have ever played, to date. Despite the frustration, it was still terribly fun, which is no mean feat. I have no idea why Nintendo doesn't give this series the Metroid treatment and bring it onto a next-gen console. Fallout 1 -- For it's time, probably one of the most innovative RPGs around. If you dig on the style and design of Bioshock, you'll find that this game had a lot of that same 'time-capsule-retro' elements to it. I've never played Fallout 2 (because I am a fool), so I don't know how it compares to the first one. Final Fight 1/2 -- Sidescrolling brawlers at their (cheesy and somewhat awful) best. |
Sorry , narrowed down your post. Kid Icarus was hard but at least I beat the damned thing. :D
I also don't know why Kid Icarus hasn't been brought back to gaming. Then again, I've been screaming for a Bionic Commando game since I was twelve years old (thank you Gameboy for the last great Bionic Commando).
About Fallout, well, if you haven't played the second installation, do so NOW. Great RPG, possibly one of the greatest I have ever played. The freedom allowed in that game paved the way for KOTOR, Elder Scrolls, and almost every other great western RPG that has come out since that time. Brilliant game.
