Deadly Towers IS a deep and complex adventure, but it is also an absolute slog. Think Zelda Second Quest, but without the sword, only having the blue candle, everything takes you out in one hit, and you lose your rupees if you die. Also, the shops are all on the opposite corner of the map with all of the hardest enemies in between, and in order to get the wooden sword, you have to beat a room full of wizzrobes and darknuts with said blue candle. "Deep and complex" does not mean remotely fun or interesting. I grew up on it and can beat it legitimately, but I won't defend the game from those who detract it.

I think the problem was that the companies would hire game designers that already had their own games designed in advanced or a rough idea of one and then given the task to "adapt" the IP to said games. So the games rarely resemble anything that's recognizable from the IP. In other words, they dig into their bag of generic games and slap on a few IP themed sprites and off they go.

They brought me up to the office and that little shit was sitting there looking like he had been crying and wouldn't make eye contact with me.

Yays! I agree with the whole list, but at the beginning I saw Clu Clu Land, that was a pretty good game and glad it wasn't on your list. I rented most of the games for a buck and probably played them for 30 minutes or less. The only game I bought new was Deadly Towers, thinking it was a role playing game, and I always have to get my monies worth so I have to beat anything I buy and I couldn't beat that heap of trash. I bought Karate Champ for $5 used so no loss there, but they couldn't make the arcade version because the arcade game was just 2 joysticks, no buttons. It was better at the arcade, but still slow.

My goodness, when I first watched this video with you talking about Aladdin, I had to scroll down a little to make sure I was reading the title of the video right. That Aladdin game literally looks like a game boy game. Yikes. Love your channel by the way.

I enjoyed that game, but it's certainly not a mind blowing game. The sad part is that it's Beam Software's best NES game... Yeah, they weren't exactly a software powerhouse. After all, they're the same guys that brought us the Back to the Future games on that system. After seeing the low quality stuff they released on that system, it makes me wonder how they managed to stick around for as long as they did.

Can't deny those are some dire titles. Some similar ordure includes BAD STREET BRAWLER, SUPER PITFALL CHUBBY CHERUB, MYSTERY QUEST and DASH GALAXY IN THE ALIEN ASYLUM. On the other end of the spectrum, TECHNOS SAMURAI is hella fun and definitely worth getting an English patch for.

The worst thing about Urban Champion is that Nintendo keeps rereleasing this dud when there are many other games in their vault more deserving that are lingering on their old hardware to this day.

I love that you’re doing this, I wish you would highlight one of the worst rental games you ever got. Lol there were so many times when I did my chores got my homework done on Friday and asked to go to the movie rental place for a game. Getting all set up and pushing on, only to have the game be a complete piece of garbage. That was your weekend plan lol

If I used my allowance to buy games, I think I would only have bought 2 games in my NES lifetime. The piss poor allowance I was on allowed me to rent 1 game, and maybe get a little candy on the side. I absolutely hated it at the time, but looking back -- I played so many more titles than I would have otherwise.

I agree with you on Deadly Towers. I borrowed that game from a friend back in the day and lost interest after only playing the game for about 30 minutes. I returned it to my buddy the next day. Oh and let's not forget some sadist put a time limit on entering the game save passwords.

@@xenofett7008 it's less horrible than it could've been. A 1 minute timer would've been more frustrating than a 5 minute one but I've definitely started a game, went to the password screen, and then did something else for sometime, and if there was a timer I definitely could be timed out while entering it

I never got stuck with a sucky game, I'd rent NES games from the local video store, then if I liked it, I'd save up & buy it. Before renting, I'd always checkout the screenshots on back of the box. I would never trade my games.

I had maybe five NES games, and no one I knew ever would trade to keep, let alone borrow; it definitely crossed a trust line there. I was the NES target demographic and I never enjoyed Super Mario Bros., or any platform games for that matter, because it was just rote memorization to make any progress, and I never had Nintendo Power, because the games, shocking I know, were expensive as crap and next to impossible to find in stock anywhere anyway, and this was in NYC, so a brochure telling me about a game I can never buy, look at or play was worthless. I did have a C64, and the platform games on it felt like homework. But it really didn't matter to me at all, because a C64 and a modem was all I ever needed ... 🏴☠
