Absolutely horrid games that grow on you...
24. Nov 2006 at 01:52

I have lately been playing a few absolutely shitty games that aren't so shitty once you play them for a bit. It started with Conan...figured out what to do, and I rather enjoyed it...enough to make it my pick for Game of the Week on NESForums. Then this weekend I scored a Cliffhanger cart, and promptly beat it. So I started playing Predator, and guess what...I'm enjoying that one too. So what other games do people find shitty after the first 5 minutes, but if they keep playing it turns out decent? I'm not talking best game ever, but playable. I'm curious...want to know what else I should pop in here...

I am from a Christian family but even my atheistic cousins loved Exodus.

I know many people will disagree with me here, but Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is okay once you know how everything works - then you get to the 2nd to last stage. Then the last stage.

Nov 2006 at 03:11 I've always thought Wrestlemania was the best WWF-licenced game on the NES. The tournament mode makes it I just spent the last hour playing Superman...it's actually not as bad as people say it is. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Superman 64

Then again, I've only played the two mentioned.

Wrestlemania is always one that I pick back up from time to time. But why? I always get my ass kicked by Bam Bam Bigelow anyways. What's the point in playing if I can only make it to the second wrestler? But..for some strange reason, I keep trying and trying and trying...but to no avail..

Another one that grows on me is Wario Woods. I just..can't..Seem..to..PuT iT .. ... DowN!! ....

I got bored with Wario's Woods...half an hour and I was good. And you can't beat Bam Bam? Damn...I usually don't get crappity smacked over unless it's Andre, Hogan, or Macho Man.

Nov 2006 at 06:40 I play as Macho Man, so that rules him out. For some reason Andre seems harder than Hogan. Probably because he's so freakin' huge. Can you even pick him up?

Nov 2006 at 10:19 Yeah, but he's a bit of a bitch sometimes. Wrestlemania is probably the only wrestling game that the characters are noticably different, beyond graphics and a couple moves. If you can win with the Honkey Tonk Man, you're a better gamer than if you beat it with Hogan or Andre (as it should be)

Nov 2006 at 03:08 I remember trying out Pyramid once, and thinking it was just a Tetris clone. But then it turned out to be real friggen hard, at least for me. I think I tried it for a good 2 hours before giving up, as I don't think I could even beat the first level. Maybe I just can't think diagonially?
