It didn't suck. I'm not going to go out and say it's one of the best games ever, but there's far, far, FAR worse games out there.

I can see why people hate it, though.

I've played the game at a homie's.

It is as bad as Xk is saying. Seriously.

I had to turn it off and put everything down and cry for a while.

As am I, but I doubt you tried to hack the save file after missing a bestiary entry, and came out on top even after getting around jumbled data, missing data, other oddities, and a "checksum" of sorts. But, either way, it's an example of how a port *SHOULD* be done. In other news, I'd pay good money to see a port/remake of Actraiser. Fun game, it was.


With GBA games, you don't bother hacking the savegame, you hack the RAM as the game runs, that way things always work nice and dandy. Then you save afterwards, then transfer the save back to your cartridge.

It's how I gave my brother back the Stardust Rod after he sold it off in FF4.

I'm with Colin on Zelda II.

"O NOES it is teh DIFFERNT than the other ones IT R TEH SUXXX!!!1!1!"

Funny how revisionist history would have you think the game was an utter failure when, in fact, it sold quite strongly back in the day, got lots of coverage in the video game mags (And not just NP), etc.

It's a damn fun game in its own right.

I think its a matter of who's played it, back in the day. Most people I know who played it growing up (myself included) love Zelda II to death, but those who never did ... can't seem to go back and say its fun.

... Wait, no. Those people just suck. Zelda II is amazing no matter what.

Different, sure. But its a top of the line A++ NES title in my book.

I think a lot of people who played Zelda II recently (or after playing several other Zelda games) are going to have a bad impression of it because it's different; it was a unique game when it first came out because of its play style.

Bet that some people would like the game if it wasn't based on Zelda.

Truth. I hadn't played Zelda II until like three or four years ago, but man, that game is fun as hell.

Am I the only one that remembers that announcement about QFT a while back? The one Ailure posted, saying that a post consisting of nothing but a quote and QFT was against the rules?

(edit: in more direct terms, watch the pointless posts)

Zelda 2 was ace. If you hate it for being different, yet whine about the lack of innovation and abdundance of uninspired sequels in the industry, you're a fucking hypocrite.

Guys guys.

There's no needs to get defensive over a game because someone else didn't like it.

I like The Sims and the Simcity series allot but allot of gamers seems to hate those games for not having goals. And I can't force them to like those games.

But do you have the CD-i games? I do. They don't suck.

Much.
Well, except that cheap ass knight boss in Faces of Evil, he was the very incarnation of annoyingness. Felt really good to utterly own him during the endgame rematch when you have the best sword.

Oh, and Zelda II is awesome. And this is also coming from a person who didn't play it until '99 or so.

I hate the game because it sucked. The idea of combining an RPG, platformer, and adventurer just didn't go over very well with me.

Keep in mind that the fact it has "Zelda" stamped on it means nothing, other than it is a game of the Zelda series.

Also, don't forget, there's a difference between being a different game (Super Mario Bros 2 was different from every other game in the SMB series, but it was still awesome), and being a different game that was done badly (hello Zelda 2).

Oh, and remember -- people can have opinions

*Kamek shoots the back-on-topic cannon

It seems that several gaming sites and magazines have given Sonic Genesis as equally poor of a rating as most (if not all) of us have. It's a shame I don't get Nintendo Power anymore; I'd like to see what that 6.0 rating was all about, really.

Castlevania 2... eh. :\ Some people probably like it but something about it just seems off to me. Good idea, flawed execution.
