Games that are Better than We Remember

Episode
316 - Some games don't shine as brightly in their time as we thought they would. What we take for granted as a classic today may not have been as highly regarded back when it was release. Other games you may not have thought much of only to come to find that they're much better than you thought. These are some of those games.

Are there any games that are better than you remember?

[@TheKillermike83]

Metal Gear

[@brorjace08]

Joe, you forgot to say that in Streets of Rage 3 the longer you stay without losing a life, you accumulate stars, when you get 3 stars your running attack becomes super powered up, not to mention that with six buttons you can do secret combination moves. Also, Im enjoying the original Metal Gear on MSX immensely, the port we got for the NES is garbage !

[@starlightwitch12]

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (SNES)

I would have to say more than a game, is a console! Now I am playing a Famicom AV and playing some Famicom Disk games and some Famicom translated games (using Everdrive) on it and I am AMAZED at great games I am finding! Also, the Famicom Disk System is nice as the games sound different! In other words, Joe, you should make an episode of that, consoles you are enjoying more NOW than before. Great episode and thank you.

Herzog Zwei is still my favorite strategy game. I was slightly disappointed at first, but kept playing since I didn't get games often. I was hooked after giving it a chance.

There's probably a bunch but the first one that came to mind was Beyond Oasis. I remember it a bit from being younger but play ed it again recently and it's such a great game

[@onldhes]

I always remember Bloody Wolf from a song GameJew wrote about it when it came out on the Virtual Console. Had a chorus that went something like "Bloody Wolf, Bloody Wolf, save all the hostages and shoot this dude. And when you shoot this dude, blood comes out of his chest". I gotta find that song now.

[@casedistorted]

omg finally someone talked about Herzog Zwei on the Genesis! I remember playing that game on the Genesis with my grandma and dad in 2-player mode. The single player was fun but 2-player was sooo much funner. Having the split screen in the center and being able to fly around with two players was pretty unique for the time. It was overall a very unique game for being on console. I seem to remember Herzog having incredible music too for the Genesis. This was in the 90's around the same time I remember my dad renting a Turbo Grafx-16 that we played for a bit. I only remember playing that one pack in game that came with it where you turn into a mini gundam in a side scrolling game. The girl from Bare Knuckle 3 was one of my childhood crushes. Something about athletic Chun-Li like babes get me

[@nickpeck4561]

"that one pack in game" for the TG16 was "Keith Courage in Alpha Zones".

[@rars0n]

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! on the NES. I've always loved the game, but I love it even more now because it's so quick to just pick up and play, whether I just want to play it for 5 minutes or half an hour. It's so much fun to go through each different opponent that I have no problem starting over and doing it all over again. Sometimes I'll try to speed run my way through the game, although I'm still not that great at beating the later opponents. Road Rash on the 3DO is another one. Again, I've always loved the game, but it's a lot of fun to just pick up and play, and is probably my favorite game on that underappreciated console. Every time I play it for any length of time, I have a blast. There are probably a lot of other 16- and 32-bit games that I would consider for such a list, but I'm blanking right now.

[@rotallyPumpered]

Most of the games I didn't like initially that I've come to enjoy later on are unanimous classics that I was too stupid or impatient to stick with. Final Fantasy VII, Dark Souls, Mystical Ninja starring Goemon, Rez, Ocarina of Time. Some of these are among my very favourite games now. It's definitely worth challenging previous assumptions as your taste broadens.

[@kekeke8988]

Joe challenged FFVII a few times already. Suffice it to say, he will never not hate it.

[@whosaidthat84]

Goemon 64 is probably favorite N64 game not from Nintendo or Rare. It's so much fun.

The leveling system isn’t just ahead of its time, it makes handicap runs of 1-8-1 or 1-1-8 surprisingly doable. And largely because the combat is so well rounded and Link quite agile to deal with the enemy attack patterns.

[@brandonginsburg3120]

Well-said. And I agree about the music.

[@bland9876]

I think zelda 2 is the opposite of blaster master. Blaster Master you run around in a platforming stage and when you find the door you go into the little area and it's top down. Zelda 2 running around in a top down stage and when you find the door it becomes a platformer. If Zelda is way more popular than Metroid why haven't we gotten a remake of Zelda 1?

[@ShinyShinyIsAlwaysBeingSerious]

Hi Greg here, former marketing and production associate for Sega and temporarily on the conversion board during the early 1990s, SOR3 was one of the games we were responsible for at the time, so I'm partly responsible for the decisions being implemented (although I didn't make all of them!) What happened was, play tests at the time found that flashing sprites caused concentration to be compartmentalized on a fight-to-fight basis; basically having each enemy read to the player's brains as an 'episode', with the idea being that taking away the flashing would fade out the closure to allow players better concentration and awareness of the levels as whole, rather than the fights. A few of us, including the director of marketing (NA) were really taken by these findings and couldn't wait to see the effects after implementation. The evidence these days is shaky but at the time that was the thinking! Our colleagues including our liaison from Japan took issue with the findings but trusted us with our consistent audience. As for the colours I'll explain, Eddie (Sammy to us as we were working on it) was reworked as there was a large push to make him the next most marketable video game hero of America (talks of a movie "Skater Rage" were floated, but that's another story) In particular due to a dulling effect, where his colours would appear grey, as was noticed on the Philips and Magnavox television sets which, as some were concerned, this would lower the interest and his ability to stand out when compared with the competition, necessitated the sharpness increase on his spites. Since Eddie was at the centre of this push, and we had already sharpened his colors, the next best thing to do (not my fault) was to reduce how vivid other characters looked in comparison, as you can see with Blaze. To mention, Blaze tested well in Japan but we didn't have the reception we wanted from the previous game locally, despite the success overall, so it was considered okay to reduce her marketability so long as it increased Eddie's disproportionately. We actually had to manage a motorcycle scene that was being cancelled in the Japanese version of the game. It came to us incomplete but playable and we had to decide whether to push it to a third party for completion. Arguments were made from the board that we could be expected to advertise the game as a combat-racer which we didn't agree with, it was ultimately found the bikes didn't look comfortable enough and it was left out of the game. Overall I don't regret my time there but I do regret the decisions we made on this game! I feel as if the ideas supporting the changes were solid but ultimately flawed. Since this entire story is made up, since I was born in 1991, and I've never worked for a game company in my life, I've come to appreciate how much trouble the original developers went through and how much I'd like a cold drink at the moment since it's quite hot today. Thanks for featuring our game!

Simon's quest was the first castlevania game I ever played. It was my favorite in the series until SotN was released.

[@NightSprinter]

Of note: the FDS version of Zelda 2 was a bit more difficult, in that if you lost all your lives or used the save screen code (pause on P1 controller, Up+A on P2 controller), your levels would revert back to your LOWEST one. It really made the player focus on leveling up evenly.

[@Mephianse81]

I'm still salty about Zelda 2 and Mario 2. Some of the most disappointing game buys of all time for me. You expect a proper sequel (more of the same but bigger and better) and get completely different games. In the case of Mario 2, it's a reskinned game that originally had nothing to do with Mario! I felt like Nintendo screwed me with all of those and it helped turn me into a Sega fan, in addition to making me start reading game magazines. I remember both games all over the pawn shops at the time, so I must have not been the only one who hated and quickly got rid of them.
