Title: Oh man, is this guy serious????

I stumbled across this link a while ago:

http://www.rpgclassics.com/shrines/nes/hydlide/

I can't even believe this is a real webpage. This guy actually made a WHOLE ONLINE SHRINE to one of the WORST and most HATED NES titles of all time! He might as well make one for Castlequest too.

I guessed the game before opening the page. ;D Yes! Hydlide - the first NES game I deemed so bad I wouldn't even consider buying it to complete my collection.

But if there is a detailed enough shrine for it, I might just give it a go. :-/

thats pretty bad, but what is worse is the programmers adn company who put all that time and money into making the game.

I mean seriously, you don't even need to play it to see how bad it is. All you need to do is see it in action to see the horror of it all.

I've played the game at someone's house before, & I was like WTF? There's a message saying you attacked but the character doesn't do anything.

There's a million other games I'd rather play than Hydlide. It tops out Spelunker as being the worst NES game ever made.

I actually liked Spelunker as a kid. I realize now that game sorta does blow.

Spelunker's fine. Just think of it less as an action game and more like a puzzle game with a platformer theme. I think this is a port of an OLD PC game, Broderbund's famous for that. So that held it back, it really didn't belong on the NES for its technology level. It's the same theme/type of game as Prince of Persia, except POP stretched the technology and spelunker...well, didn't. :)

Just tried Spelunker on a emulator. Damn the guy dies from a 3 feet fall when he even lands on his legs haha ;D The game seems kinda fun actually + im sure its better to play with a NES pad, but it must be so god damn frustrating because you die all the time from the smallest things.
