I dunno much about Robocop but Bomberman does indeed deserve to be fairly low. It's a dull, monotonous 50-level game whose one level design is kinda too big for your initial state but can't really challenge you later on. It got ranked around where Yo Noid, Yoshi, and Renegade are and I'd definitely rather play those over NES Bomberman but none are very impressive examples of their genres. Bomberman being far enough below Kid Klown that it'd basically be in another tier checks out for me.
(Street Fighter 2010 being below all those games is the real bad decision.) --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] ... Copied to Clipboard!

The original Bomberman is pretty whatever, imo, it's simple and not that interesting. The Bomberman games that people actually remember as being good are the ones with multiplayer, and this one doesn't have multiplayer. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Once you get the powerup that makes you immune to bombs, the rest of the game is just going through the motions as you instantly detonate bombs every possible frame
if the game cut the first four or five levels and just started you with those levels powerups it would be a lot better --- http://i.imgur.com/k0v0z3q.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

wasnt expecting dino riki to be a shmup. was expecting it to not be good. dinowarz destruction of spondylous still the best dino game love me some chip n dale. too bad he couldnt get past that last section haha oh wow swampthing. of all the games released in 1992 that is apparently one of them. those are some game design decisions made right there. and why a sproing noise for his jumps. --- congrats to azuarc for victorying GotD guru http://i.imgur.com/fKQfZ0Q.jpg ...

Theres a chance we get a remake of Shatterhand somewhere down the line herea group of the original development team at Natsume Atari (not to be confused with Natsume Inc, the former US branch which split from the company in 1995 to become its own publisher)(also not to be confused with Atari, whom they are entirely unrelated to) came together to form TENGO PROJECT and have remade a bunch of their old titles with more detailed pixel art, improved gameplay, new levels/characters, etc. So far they did several of their SNES games (Wild Guns, The Ninja Warriors Again, Pocky & Rocky) but now theyve moved on to NES and are about to release a remake of Shadow of the Ninja. Shatterhand could very well be next after that.

Dr Mario does not have enough going on to be interesting or fun. Its not quite Yoshi levels of boring, it at least has a couple of advanced techniques you can go for but theres not much to it. I think most people who are big fans of the genre rank this one pretty low.

Paratroopa1 02/24/24 5:59:59 AM #227: |
IMO Dr. Mario is really only interesting if you speedrun it. If you speedrun it (or play it vs) it's hellllllla interesting. The problem with it as a casual puzzle game, imo, is that it naturally gets easier as the level goes on, which is sort of weird. After you've cleared like 25% of the viruses, the rest is just cleanup - everyone gets to that point at the end where there's just one virus left and a bunch of garbage and it's just cleanup but you're not in danger of losing. Puzzle games feel like they should get more difficult as time goes on so this feels like a weird aspect to Dr. Mario where so much of it is cleanup. I LOVE Dr. Mario though because I speedrun it, and that completely changes everything because now really efficient and clever usage of your pills MATTERS, and the time's still ticking no matter how many viruses you clear so the lack of danger doesn't matter. ...

TomNook 02/24/24 8:37:28 AM #228: |
Dr. Mario is purely a competitive game. The single player is only about honing your skills toward multiplayer. The people who don't love it, just aren't mentally inclined toward puzzle games, and there's nothing wrong with that. I know plenty of people who can't play fighting games, puzzle games, or rhythm games.

Jeff is right about the level design sensibilities of Western game developers during this period but I think M.C.Kids is one of the least offensive versions of it. The levels are big, but not horribly mazelike as often happens in Euro platformers.

AxemRedRanger 02/26/24 4:40:00 PM #232: |
I thought M.C. Kids looked about right. The sheer ambition is enough to compensate for some of the jank and put it a bit above most of the mediocre/totally unambitious/janky-in-their-own-right Japanese sidescrollers (Strider, Clash at Demonhead, Totally Rad, Kid Klown, Wacky Races, Little Mermaid) but once actual quality stuff starts popping up, it's out of the running pretty quickly. I can see a reasonable argument for it over Tiny Toon Adventures and can see why some wouldn't like Little Nemo in particular (not sure M.C. Kids is the game you'd want to champion in response though), but M.C. Kids shouldn't be on par with Shadow of the Ninja, Journey to Silius, or Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu.
I'll give it this: I do think it's better than Rygar. Also Monster Party, which runs mostly off "what the hell is this thing?" and basically belongs in the mediocrity pile. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Dr Mario
Sometimes he confuses me lol First he said it was released late in the NES cycle in 1990. I don't know why he keeps saying 1990 is late as most NES games were released in the 90s lol. There are two puzzle games that were pushed at the end of the NES but Dr. Mario isn't one like he claims. Then he said "If they made a sequel". It did get a sequel. A couple actually! And they did have other modes. He should know that lol --- I'd Rather Be A Savage Little Elephant, than be a big Bald Bull "I claim one line in your sig" = TheKnightOfNee ... Copied to Clipboard!

SHINE_GET_64 02/29/24 5:52:32 AM #234: |
You have to look at it through the eyes of a professional reviewer by 1990 the NES was old news because by 1989 people like him had already left behind the NES and moved on to the Genesis
It's the same with him calling Late 1994 old for the SNES because Saturn and PS1 were out in Japan and he had moved on to those by then. He always refers to DKC1 as a Late SNES game. --- https://imgtc.com/i/iJnhdkc.gif https://imgtc.com/i/j45EVGx.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Famicom came out in 1983, its hard to say that a game in 1990 isnt late in the systems life. Theres just an unusually high amount of games for it in the late period. (Though looking at the PS4 now, maybe not all that unusual anymore.)
