Members Ovid9 Posted September 15, 2011 Members Share Posted September 15, 2011 Linky Thought this was a cool little article. I'm not a collector. I have a few NES & SNES games I've bought over the years, but I like to play games more than pay insane prices for them to just sit around. I do still kick myself on not picking up the copy of "Ogre Battle" when my local video store was selling it years ago. And not keeping the creepy religious games I had as a kid. Nothing like calling down fire from heaven on your enemies! Now to get my NES/SNES fix I use emulators, but damn so many fun memories wasting time with friends. Holding the other control to have the "super jump" cheat in Mega Man 3. Playing as the bird in 8 Eyes (stupid bird!) Getting beat down by King Hippo cause I was incompetent. Cursing Kid Icarus for being stupidly hard. Cursing Battle Toads for being even harder. Ahhh, memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still scared from that *Shameful secret* I never once, NOT ONE FREAKING TIME successfully landed the plane after a mission. My friends had to do it.

Members ShaneV2 Posted September 15, 2011 Members Share Posted September 15, 2011 The last angry nintendo nerd video was about the game in the beginning of that article, I hadn't heard of it before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thy God Posted September 15, 2011 Members Share Posted September 15, 2011 I always used to hate it when they'd do articles like that, because it'd make EVERY goddamn game cost more for a while, even the worthless ones. Now I don't give a {censored} since I'm barely trying to collect anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, the 3rd stage where you'd need to refuel I fail too, and I could just never land it right. {censored}ers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rugbyguitargod Posted September 15, 2011 Members Share Posted September 15, 2011 Air Fortress... first iteration is a gamut of 8 space fortresses you must defeat. the goal in each stage (fortress) you must: 1) make it through the air infiltration into the fortress 2) survive inside with the incredibly difficult enemies that come at all different angles. 3) destroy the core reactor 4) make it back out in time (while fighting back through all the bastard enemies you just fought) before the fortress asplodes and kills you after you defeat the first 8, there is a second set of 8. i made it to the second set of fortresses and to the 6th fortress of that iteration. literally nearly {censored}ing IM-POSS-IBLE to beat that {censored}. oh yea, and Batman was retardedly hard too. the only thing worse than the ridiculously hard enemies they threw in each level, pretty much ANYTHING (background objects, too) that moved hurt you....

Members Y0UNGBL00D Posted September 15, 2011 Members Share Posted September 15, 2011 wasnt that what star fox was eventually based off of? i vaguely remember it, and getting my ass kicked in it. at the time i accepted it though. like back then it wasnt necessary to beat the game, that was sort of a lofty goal.

Members satannica Posted September 15, 2011 Members Share Posted September 15, 2011 The only rarity I had in my collection was Putty Squad on the Amiga. I had a copy from someone who worked from the magazines back in the day. Sadly the disk box went to the dump and I only found years later that it was pretty damn sought after. I wish I had kept it, as a game it was pretty OK as far as I remember. It's only sought after as it was reviewed in a magazine but never released.

Members Ovid9 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 15, 2011 Man Ogre Battle is such a {censored}ing awesome game.... It is!!! It gets lots of play time on my emulator. There's a lot more too it then it seems on the surface. Like, if you just try and level up a few people, you'll get slaughtered. And there's tons of special items and variant storylines depending on what items you find when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
