It was over night, but the guy wasn't even a commission artist. He was literally just the friend of someone at Capcom America who was asked to do it in an evening. They gave him a few pictures and explained nothing about the game. He did the best he could with what he had, I guess. Mega Man was a game I played so much I could beat it without even considering that it was a hard game. Now, 35 years later, i'm old, I can beat souls games without too much trouble, but I get destroyed when I fire up MM1&2. I just don't have the timing down anymore.
NES: (this is the only retro game I own a sealed copy of, it is the game that truly sparked my love for Role Playing Games. My second JRPG, but the first I fell in love with)
Final Fantasty
PSX: (It was not, and will never be "PSOne". It was ALWAYS PSX to those of us who were there)
But this brings TWO games to mind right away, one of which, Xenogears, doesn't get nearly enough love! (and is still my favourite JRPG of all time) I own both the American and Japanese versions.
Xenogears and FF7
Obviously, there is certainly a throughline of JRPG's being my favourite games ever since I discovered FF. They are certainly still among my favourites, but there are only a few series im truly all in on, and I play a lot more action/action rpg's than I did back then.
Edit: Well, that didn't work, so I listed the game above the links.
The ninja obsession of the late 80s gave us some of the best pop art of all time. Shadow the Hedgehog couldn’t be edgier and cooler if he really tried.
Awesome thread idea as this is something I think about all the time or that just jolts through my mind when I talk about games to people. Here are some fun picks:
Bart vs the Juggernauts was not too hard, i remember just one of those minigames being tough. I think i beat it once. Never played the Itchy and Scratchy game, but loved Virtual Bart and Bart's Nightmare on SNES. Both hard games.
NES- Duck Hunt
SNES - FZERO
GENESIS - Sonic 1
PSX - Twisted Metal
N64- Goldeneye
Dreamcast - Soul Calibur or that hoverboard game.
PS2- Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec
Xbox- Halo
PS3- Heavily Sword for whatever reason. LMAO
360- Condemned Criminal Orgins
Will leave out new consoles. I also suppose i tend to remember launch titles fondly when a older console pops into my head. However, some of those are also all time favorites in different ways.
