This thread is dedicated to a simpler time in video gaming. When the only things you had to help you decide on what game to buy was word of mouth, the description on the back and the cover art. Even the bad ones were so epically bad, they were awesome.
Double Dragon 2
View media item 943806How could you not want to play this? Does this not look like "Early 90s Action Movie: The Game"? In hindsight it was total false advertising. Billy and Jimmy never found that ***** nor did they ever get helicopter support.
Ninja Gaiden
View media item 943813Why is the city on fire? What is he standing on? What the hell was "strategic" about this game? Doesn't matter, there's a ******* ninja on the cover.
Metal Gear
View media item 943825That IS....not "resembles", not "inspired by", not "close enough not to get sued", that is Kyle Reese from The Terminator. SOLD.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
View media item 943838All four of them are Raphael. Wtf? This wasn't even, like, in the beginning of Ninja Turtles. Totally excusable today.
Contra
View media item 943858I'm 8 years old. That's not Arnold Schwartznegger and Sylvester Stallone versus the Alien. Please, tell me more..
And you know this thread isn't complete without the granddaddy..
