The NZA Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 First on my personal list is Bonanza Bros, a popular Sega arcade game that got ported to the Master System & Genesis in limited quantities. Its quite basic: 2 players can work together as robbers, trying to outwit the cops by slamming doors on them, stunning them, etc - basically, get the money and run, while fighitng the clock too. It gets tricky, but i used to find it really addicting...if you liked the old 8-bit Spy vs Spy game like i did, this one's a classic. So, post the gems youd like to see remade!

RobitussinEF Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 QBert should get remade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 Good call...that classic gets slept on, i dont know why. Im happy to be able to play Frogger & Donkey Kong again, but Q-bert started the puzzle genre, i wonder why he's not a retro icon like pac-man? That little guy sure had a foul mouth...This site says you can play it over there, check it out & see if it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobitussinEF Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 i think my phone has the option to buy it. might check into that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 didnt wanna try the link, eh...? Ah well, next game! Yes, Bubble Bobble, the NES/arcade classic of 99 levels, 2 quests, and 1 song the whole damn way through. I know, the series evovled into "Bust-A-Move", and that was fun too, but it was a different kind of puzzle game altogether, and i miss this classic 2-player co-operative one, we need more like these. Youd build up all these power-ups, and score mad points, then one angry, fast enemy'd fuck it up! Plus, like any old-school 2P, you could hijkack extra men from your other player if you sucked & ran out...forced generosity, you dont see that in games no more.

Yahve Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Good one, I loved beating everyone of those 255+ levels I spent 20 minutes playing Gradius at the mall the other day. At the stands where one controller holds a nintendo and over a thousand games. A good soundtrack is timeless, even on 8 bit bleeps. I would like to see a remake of Tron: Deadly Discs!

The NZA Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 Yahven: Youre right, it was 255...i used a code to get to the big goofy last guy, good call. ...Tron what? Tussin: Man, you got good taste in games, that was a classic platformer, lotta fun too. The sequel, "Air Zonk" (that ario had) was...eh, it was a space shooter, not the same. Bonk was a blast, tho.

Signal08 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 remake contra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 Maaaaan...they been tryin that one for years, every 3-D attempt has failed. Actually, there was a recent one that was suppoed to be fun, but way too hard...gotta look that one up. Original contra was classic; Super C was cool too. But man, Contra III: Alien Wars for SNES? That shit set a new standard for 2-player action games, you know? Maddox has a fun page about that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobitussinEF Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 yeah im thinking of getting a turbo express and buy the game on ebay but im debating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 ..how much is an express on Ebay? As i recall, those thigns looked great, but be careful: i remember reivews sayin they were battery-hogs, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobitussinEF Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 well ive come to find out the turbo express are going for a hella alot more than the actual TG 16. The express is going for 60+ up to over 100 bucks! The TurboGrafx 16 i saw it as cheap as 11 bucks! Im debating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hahaha...ive played some TG-16 emulation (thats when you play the game on a computer, hacked-like) for some classic RPG's....there's a great Castlevania game, and god knows Ario might still have some of his titles layin around: Air Zonk and a few others...dont forget, Bonk had 2 parts! In retro game news, Midway Arcade Treasures 2 is lookin sharp, check out the lineup: A.P.B. Arch Rivals Championship Sprint Cyberball 2072 Gauntlet 2 Hard Drivin’ Kozmik Kroozr’ Mortal Kombat 3 Mortal Kombat II NARC Pit Fighter Primal Rage Rampage World Tour Spy Hunter 2 Timber Total Carnage Wizard of Wor Xenophobe Xybots Wacko Xeno, Rampage, Pit Fighter, Narc (soon to be remade, by the way), MK II, Gauntlet...damn. And all of it, on any console, for $20! Im thinkin of gettin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobitussinEF Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I used to play this 7Up game on Sega Genesis that was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 I used to play this 7Up game on Sega Genesis that was pretty cool. Cool Spot! Dammit woman, you have some taste in your classics. A gimmick game based on a mascot with no real personality...this game shoulda been a flop. Instead, it had really sharp graphics for its time, and level design made it a surprisingly fun platformer, id love to play this one again sometime. I'ma go on a limb with another fun platformer that Ario had for SNES...i remmeber enjoying Hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobitussinEF Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Cool Spot! Dammit woman, you have some taste in your classics. grassy-ass! Bubsy was another favorite. Wasnt very popular i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Bubsy was the best! I rented that one just about every weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hah! Bubsy was good fun for SNES, as i recall, but the 3-D one for PSX is often heralded as one of the worst games ever, sadly, due to repetitive voice samples, horrible hit detection, and having no fucking point. The original, tho, was indeed a cool game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jables Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 'Kid Klown's Krazy Adventure'... Ring a bell? Dunno if that's even the right title. Copped a horrid rap but it was ...unique. Once you got past the curve it was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
