#36. Blaster Master : This game is a strange hybrid, it merges platforming and topdown shooter but somehow it pulls it off perfectly. It also features the stupidest plot ever with a boy risking his life for a stupid frog but who cares you get to drive a tank and shoot various critters! As you explore the world with your tank you find doors to areas (where you shift into topdown view) where if you defeat the final boss you'll be rewarded with an upgrade for your tank allowing you to explore new areas of the map.
You're never told exactly where to go in Blaster Master which can become a bit frustrating in the later stages of the game where you have to comb through previous worlds to find your new path but it makes finding that new world so much more satisfying.
Finally, I couldn't talk about Blaster Master without mentionning it's difficulty: it's hard, very hard and if you die too often you start back from scratch, that's old school gaming for ya!
Signature goes here!
