Games you beat ONCE, and dread to try again.

prince of persia.

After Roy and I played and beat Riot Zone recently, I'd have to add that to the list.

It was so boring we were practically falling asleep while playing it.

Hell Roy was half asleep and just button mashing and beat the last guy.

[termis]

Yeah, I do recall Riot Zone being a pretty boring game.  Too bad the PCE never had a real quality beat-em-up in the vain of Streets of Rage or Final Fight.  I mean, I can't think of single title other than Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari (River City Ransom) that one would consider to be a good beat-em-for the PCE.

Edit:  Oh wait, Double Dragon II for PCE wasn't half bad.

heh. I have to agree. The biggest challenge of Riot Zone is making it through the game without losing your mind from boredom.

Call me insane but I can sit through the whole game without a problem, lol.

Nothing wrong with Keith Courage. It's got very rich music and who can forget that pistol-head enemy?

[Arkhan]

i like how you ignore Hydlide


I SEE HOW IT IS.  YOU HATE IT TOO AMIRITE?

REVISED LIST 2.0

Adds Astyanax to List;
Wirehead (Sega CD) I don't normally advocate using games as kindling.
Dick Tracy (NES - I had to call the f*cking Nintendo Power hotline to find Al Pacino in 1989. ONLY TIME EVAR. It was B4 teh internetz)
Texas: Ground Zero (Sega CD) - Game was so easy I almost fell asleep during the end boss. If you can aim he takes about 7 seconds.
Joe & Mac: Leave it to the SNES to Butcher Caveman Ninja.

[Arkhan]

LOL ground zero.

oh man.

what a DISASTER.



I didn't even give that game the chance to be completed. I couldn't stand it.

I was playing some Wirehead last night, that game is kinda cool I thought.

it's trickydicky to beat that one.  but it's one of those games that you can mindlessly play and still enjoy.



you cant mindlessly play Prince of Persia.  You will be falling to your death every 3 seconds.

When i was younger/kiddy i cleared most to all of the RPGs for the SMS... Phantasy Star, Ys, Miracle Warriors, Golvellius...

I have a lot of fond memories of playing these but i dread everyone to do again...i just could not commit the time to them, far to long... but i do replay the endings from time to time as the battery save in my carts are still holding strong  <<cool pose>>
