Yeah that Gilligans Island game has some novel concepts but it doesnt all work great. Same can be said for most of Human Entertainments output. Theres definitely a line you can draw from the design of Gilligans Island to their later stuff line Clock Tower, S.O.S., and Twilight Syndrome

I don't think I've ever actually seen Monster Party before (aside from "Sorry, I'm dead"). Kind of in love with that game's aesthetic.

I've always thought the first level of Battletoads was amazing, the second level was still alright but no where near that first level, and then it continues to divebomb from there.

Kid Icarus got robbed. I guess it's understandable to get turned off by how unforgiving the first couple levels are though.

Him putting Cobra Triangle ahead of Temco Bowl kinda made my blood pressure rise lol
I can't in my head rationalize that. Also, he never saw the rest of Kid Icarus. That game drastically changes into a dungeon crawler, a side scroller, and a horizontal shump.

- I might've been damaged as a child because I liked (???) Deadly Towers once I found the hidden spots to not get abducted to the backrooms. - In keeping with Stockholm Syndrome, Battletoads. Huh.

Gerstmann ranked again last night (because a kid is sick again!) and he had some insane things to say about Mega Man X (after ranking Mega Man 1). And then he cut kind of early because he was feeling sick too. Oof
also I was inspired to play Kid Icarus for real for the first time and yeah, that game is pretty frustrating. Died a ton on 1-3 because I was getting swarmed by Octorok things from below. but eventually I made it through to 1-4 and that felt pretty good. Might keep going with it.

Street Fighter 2010 is a game that forces you to learn its rules quickly and if you dont do that you will have a bad time. Jeff did not learn its rules (he did start to pick up on some stuff after getting through the first stage). Also I think he was accidentally mashing past some cutscenes, not that it would have improved its rating at all

The non-RNG manipulation speedrun beats the game at level 18, while the average player probably beats it at 19 or 20. Theres only a little bit of wiggle room on strategy versus just having bigger numbers to make the difference.

I think Mike Tyson's Punch-Out is one of the very rare NES games where, unless you're already personally familiar with it, a modern understanding of video games doesn't teach you how to play it immediately. If you've never played a Punch-Out game before and you play MTPO, figuring out how to play well is not going to be obvious to you until you've practiced it quite a bit. There aren't a lot of games on the NES I can think of that are like this - most of them are fairly easily 'solved' by the accumulated knowledge and skill of any modern gamer but MTPO remains mysterious and challenging. It's a weirdly well-aged game in that way. I think it'd be kind of fun to make a list of NES games that are challenging for a modern audience because of their unique game design (not just because they are super hard and unforgiving). ...
