Faxanadu debate!

[blueraven]

I think Faxandu is to Nintendo as Tatsu no ko Fighter is to the PCE.

You should play more NES games then.

I mean have you ever played Amagon, Captain Comic, Deadly Towers, or any of the Wisdom Tree games?  :-" 

and as far as clunky irritating platforming goes, the Wizards and Warriors series is the ultimate crown holder.  Theyre fun games, but theyre a pain in the ass. 

and then you got like, the Predator, Rambo, Flying Dragon, Beetle Juice, the Addams Family, ......etc.

I have played many NES games. I have more than I would care to admit.

I've beaten Amagon. It's stupid hard. I don't like the game at all. The dynamic is similar (morph into big dude, punch, etc.), but not the same as tatsu no ko fighter. Amagon is more fun than Tatsu no ko fighter.

I think Faxanadu is much worse than Wizards and Warrors and Iron Sword. you at least can control your jumps in Wizards and Warriors. I had 100x more fun with W&W.

Rambo is another NES game I enjoyed once I figured it out. It's not a work of art, but I love adventurey Faxanambo style games. The challenge of broken games can be appealing on its own as well, which is why I also appreciate Night Creatures for what it is, without thinking that it's pure gold.

That batch of games right there is some of the worst crap on the NES entirely. 

I like W&W a ton.  I play Ironsword all the time, but damn.  They have some of the rudest platform sequences I've ever seen in ANY game.  I always thought the little guy was really slippery when you go bouncing around.

My biggest complaint about Rambo aside from it being a Zelda II ripoff is that its RAMBO.   I don't want to play an RPG-like game based off a movie where the majority of the dialog is "URHAURRRRRRRRRRRRRRAHHHHH" followed by explosions.

Faxanambo.  Hmm..... :-D

Yeah. Now I understand the list.

It Is slippery. The armor makes him move like a bowling ball.
