    Deadly Towers..... no really i think it could have great potential like a a combo rpg/adventure game

     

    Design your hero you get so many points to add to his/her stats and choose a sub class of magic perhaps element based and add the ability to accrue more points that you can use to boost your stats.

    I always liked Nintendo it was a simple fun system and they had an incredible run but i figured they were done when the N64 got slaughtered by the disc based systems and i started to write them off then they tried with the Gamecube and at first i was excited that they were not dead ....until i got a Gamecube and its "mini discs" then it got over shadowed by the PS2 and the XBox and i thought they were truly down then the Wii happened and i thought "cool they are back and better than ever!"

     

    Sadly i agree with you and to further it they don't deserve to succeed with it they really don't , the first year it was excusable but now there is no excuse at all! i hope folks will buy the 360 and by this time next year there are stacks of Wii's down at Gamestop for $49.99 Nintendo deserves no less for this short supply crap. They are really screwing their fans big time.

    The thing i notice even among folks my age (36) is that if it happened before they were in high school it never happened, it's like history is a closed book to them and if it didn't happen in the last week it ain't worth knowing about.

     

    Some examples i belong to other boards mostly general interest and such and if we start a topic about something like music and i bring up bands like Alice Cooper,Black Sabbath,Pink Floyd, or even the Beatles they act like i'm in a time warp they (age range 25-40's) are more into current bands :ponder: it just amazes me that they shun older music like it's irrelevant ,the rock section of my music collection has everyone from Bill Haley and the Comets to Cake because there is alot of good music out there not just what has come out in the last few years.

     

    On the flip side i was playing Adventure on my lunchbreak and the bosses 11 year old who has only known PS2, PSP, and Xbox was enthralled by the game and he had a blast playing it so maybe there is hope after all :)

    I never bought any game based on a review i usually read the review to get more of an idea about the game then i get the game and form my own opinions. I learned to not trust reviews awhile back thanks to Car&Driver magazine you will typically find alot of adverts for Toyota,Honda,and BMW and lo and behold which cars usually win the tests and comparisons easily?? yup Toyota,Honda and BMW :roll:

    10. E.T. The Extra Terrestrial Atari 2600 - I remember the Easter Sunday i found this game in my goodie basket I popped that sucker into my Atari and proceeded to play the heck out of it, i didn't know it was allegedly a bad game i just knew i liked the movie and i was a grateful to get the game and once i mastered the pits it was actually a pretty decent game for the Atari.

     

    9. Yars Revenge - I played this till the tendons in my wrists snapped shut like a steel trap i had the rhythm of the little cursor down and the timing to avoid the missiles to rack up some pretty impressive scores!

     

    8. Deadly Towers NES - We never had a ton of money when i was growing up and when mom said i could get a NES and one game for my birthday i about went nuts so off to Childrens Palace (like Toy's r us only much cooler) we went and i got my NES and chose Deadly Towers, i was always a D&D fan so it appealed to me and even though i never got very far with it i was blown away by the sheer size of the game, the graphics, the sounds, the music it was all so much more exciting than my trusty 2600 and it's games (it lasted about 4 months until i was frustated enough to go back to my 2600 :D )

     

    7. Haunted House - This game is still one of my very favorites, the shock of seeing the ghost and having it come after me! and the lightning going off when i took a hit was just phenomenal! alot of atmosphere in this one.

     

    6. Super Mario Brothers 2 - This one was something special (yeah i know about the Doki Doki Panic thing thanks to the Irate Gamer) I liked the fact that there were 4 selectable characters and each had a neat power years later i was pleasantly surprised to get this for my GBA in the form of Super Mario Advance.

     

    5. Two Crude Dudes Sega Genesis- I loved this game in the arcades and when Sega brought it to the Genesis it made my day in a big way! The moves were cool, the voices were interesting and the bosses were great and the biggest bonus was being able to use the scenery to beat the crap out of the bad guys!

     

    4. Everquest- Being a D&D fan this was a dream come true! online play against other folks, and the best part was none of the "balance" garbage that is so prevalent in Everquest II, my character was Troll and it only make sense that he be stronger than a gnome or dwarf.

     

    3. Circus Atari 2600 - It goes with out saying any game where your "guy" hits the ground and turns into a twiching pile of goo complete with splat sound is just cool on so many different levels .....although i'm not sure why :D

     

    2. Redneck Rampage PC- Whats not to like!! Ya got Mojo Nixon in the soundtrack plenty of beer, pork rinds and enough YEEEEEEEHAAAAWW!!!! to choke a horse!

     

    1. Adventure Atari 2600 - What can i say? To this very day i play this game it never gets old thanks to level 3 and the goofy dragons just make it that much better!

    I've seen this before as i sell occasionally on ebay and have friends in this situation. Sometimes the buyer is handicapped or simply without transportation and sometimes it's like trying to pull teeth to get someone to take them shopping for anything other than food, and/or public trans is not available.

    No i would not. Whether it's ebay,flea market or thrift the first thing i do is clean the item from stem to stern with Lysol sanitizing wipes and i mean everything cables,carts,consoles.controllers etc... whatever i can't get with the wipes i use windex and q-tips and if the dirt or odor persist i'll take the thing apart and clean the insides too.

     

    By the time i'm done all thats left is a faint odor if anything at all.

    Not really i just started getting more games for the system myself i got the system awhile back and forgot about it and then when we moved it got packed away and im still finding the odd game here an there but i never got too many i'll check and if i have anything i'll pm you.

    Castlevania Circle of the Moon was dismal i never finished it i couldn't it was that bad, with the strange combine cards to get different powers and walking from one end of the castle to the other over and over...terrible. Aria of Sorrow is the Castlevania game to get for the GBA i'm about on my fourth or fifth time going through the game and still finding cool new things!

     

    Final Fight One is a very enjoyable game! Lot of replay value for that one.

     

    And one you may not have come across is the Masters of the Universe game. It is not bad at all it has that odd 3/4 overhead view angle but it is very playable.

     

    I'll keep my eyes out for any GBA games on your list (there is a used game shop near me that sometimes has good deals on games)

    I am curious about this game. I've never successfully baited the marshmallow man (guess I may not have known how back in the day), and according to the manual, there's a scene where you run past the marshmallow man's legs. Is that true? Does anyone have a screenshot of this?

     

    How long does it take to beat the game?

    Is it worth it?

     

    -John

    I never beat the Atari or the NES versions which are somewhat similar i have beaten the Genesis version.

     

    For some gameplay and screenshots the Angry Video Game Nerd did a 3 part rant about the Ghosbusters game he is however very vulgar and his videos are most definately not safe for work.

    He does cover the Atari version a bit in the second one i believe (been awhile since i watched them)

    Xybots and Ms. Pac Man are great! i got alot of mileage out of them Basketbrawls not bad either. One game i usually recommend is A.P.B. i always loved that one in the arcades and was quite suprised to see it on the Lynx.

    I played it awhile back but could not get too into it maybe i'll try COV instead because being a bad guy just seems more fun!

     

    I have been an Everquester since EQ1 rolled out in the 90's now i am pretty well into EQ2.

     

    I guess i didn't care for COH because one of my favorite super powers from the comics is super strength and in COH it was not a very prominent power, for example if i knew the badguys were behind a wall why cant i just punch through the wall and get them?

    Of course i have the same frustration in EQ my troll is a crazed Shadowknight wrecking machine and yet dwarves and gnomes can hurt me?

    Anyways if i give COV a try i'll let you know. :)
