GameZebo: If you’re still playing and replaying MoaCube’s near-flawless interactive novel, Cinders, get your virtual bookmark ready: their next title is on its way. Early screens of Solstice show off an equally stunning fictional world, set in a blizzard-ravaged desert that has trapped its cast of characters for the winter.
Despite skyrocketing retro game prices the NES remains a deep trove of excellent games that, if you can avoid eBay sellers, are really quite affordable for new collectors.
I remember one of the levels in Retro City Rampage was paying homage to those seaweed segments. Not quite as hard but man did it bring back bad memories of my many deaths on that level. Never did beat that game without the Game Genie. Same with Battletoads. lol
The top-down view theme music was stuck in my head all day as a kid.
I'm not sure if I ever completed a no-damage seaweed run.
Double Dragon 2 is one of the best!! Several good games on this list! Shadowgate, P.O.W., and Klax. That is actually a super fun puzzle game! TMNT, I think every time after the seaweed, I only had like 1 Turtle left. lol
Shadowgate was how I got so familiar with Nintendo's helpline lol. But man did I love that game.
And wow I forgot all about P.O.W. until you mentioned it. Man being a kid with a NES really was the good ol days.
Best birthday ever: 15 and I got a Super Nintendo with Super Mario World, Pilot Wings and Street Fighter. (Spoiled rotten) And I saw Basic Instinct at the theater!
If you've ever thought about getting into game development or just wondered about it, the Humble GameMaker Bundle makes it cheap and easy to do so!
Hardcore Gamer: MoaCube are a game developer which many know thanks to their visual novel Cinders. This gorgeous retelling of Cinderella netted many fans, and their upcoming visual novel is right around the corner.
