I don't think I've ever played an arcade game where my guy has a life bar but can die in one hit, other than Bloodstorm...

I think I'll just sit here and let Mr. Big kill me until I have 100 rockets, then just close my eyes and spam the buttons. It's the only thing that's worked so far

(Midway Arcade Treasures 2, of course- I also liked the fact that I clipped through the road and did a barrel roll in Hard Drivin')

I beat it on emulator, but it took about a billion credits. The worst part was when I bet Mr Big, and a fricken COCKROACH killed me inches from the door to beat the game.

*Mr Big gets me into a corner; no damage*

*I sit here thinking "what the fuck? I'm usually dying when this happens" continue to sit*

*get bored, decide to fire, my guy's hit detection box decides to activate since his arm is now in range and he dies instantly*

God, I love the 80s concept of "challenge"

NARC is a ridiculous game for so many reasons.

 

[MarkMacD]

I thought it started you started back at the start of Mr. Big if you continued....?

It's possible to get thru the whole game in a single quarter and get to him with like 15 earned extra lives, too....if you're so inclined, of course (hint: the bug on the bridge stage helps a lot)

 

[Sho Nuff]

All of you guys are too young to remember it, but New York City used to be JUST like NARC.

Yeah it did, that's why it took me so long to beat him.

Man is that game crazy as hell, I haven't ever seen a game with funnier enemies. Barefoot junkies leaving behind lifetime supplies of coke with huge wads of cash. With all the shit that's on them when they die, why even work for someone else? Don't even get me started on the dudes shooting dope needles. They need to make a comedy movie out of this game.

Someone needs to send a script to Uwe Boll

I didn't have any trouble with him. I beat him the first time and one of those bugs that comes out of his corpse grabbed me and I died. The second time I just ran away from them and won.

All I did was wait for him to stop shooting and just shot rockets at him. He would like ram into me and I'd fall down, but it barely took any life away.


You're not missing much really, there's barely an ending.

narc is easily one of the worst games of all time.

 

[shantyman]

The sad thing is, to me, Narc was THE GAME back when it was in the arcades. I thought it was so freaking awesome and remember being disappointed at the inevitable NES version. I fired it up the other night on MAC2 and after finishing it in 22 minutes, could only say WTF???????

OH GOD THAT WOULD TOTALLY RULE

Exactly.

 

[Mashing]

I played the shit out of NARC in the arcades, and I feel exactly like the rest of you about it now.... horrible game.

 

[NLB2]

Horrible game? Its amazing. Its so much fun busting the druggies to get extra lives. And then blasting the dogs into smitherines with a well placed rocket. The driving levels rocked and the crazy clown guys were so much fun to fight. I never played the arcade version, but the NES version rocked.

 

[john2kx]

it was awesome killing the same guy in the brown overcoat 80,000 times.....

....for about 3 minutes.

 

[fennec fox]

There was no game with graphics like that at the time. It blew my mind.

Definitely one of the reasons I liked it.
