Naw, they were made to eat up your coins. You have to learn the entire mechanics of the game if you want to 1 quarter it and it was hella tough.

For sure. I would also include Knights of the Round in that pantheon as well.

early 80s arcade games were probably the most challenging because there was no "continue" option. stuff like bubble bobble

X-Men lets you fight Magneto.
Simpsons lets you fight Mr. Burns.

Captain America and the Avengers doesn't let you fight the real Red Skull.

Yeah. They were both on 360 for a while but eventually got pulled for licensing issues. Fun while they lasted. Turtles in Time was up there too.

Jump kick in Turtles 3 because it rewards the most points as a ko move which means more eventual lives.

I am sure beat'em ups have involved a lot since then (combos and stuff) and Turtles 3 wasn't an arcade game. It was on the NES as an exclusive. The Manhattan Project.

X-Men was fun until you realize everybody just spams the shit out of their special and then it becomes repetitive.

Remember when XMEN was rereleased on the 360, and everyone just spammed Collossuss special online?

Also, the Koanmi beat em ups were fun, but really flawed and had some kind of randomness factor. Like, how do you consistently do critical hits in Simpsons? Triggering grabs in TiT is janky. XMen is just filled to the brim with mobs.

I love all three, but man they were cheap and made in bad faith to arcade patrons.

I realized in perspective now a long time ago, but in the moment. I never realized how different the NES version of Double Dragon II was to the arcade. Double Dragon I was generally the same just lacking a two player mode other ports were similar.

But Double Dragon II arcade is a completely new game pretty much!

The difference between battletoads nes and arcade is monumental. The nes game is basically a platformer.
