You just need more practice. If you play the game for long enough, you will eventually discover how to make the character walk. After that, it's clear sailing until you step onto the bridge.
I wish I still had my NES. I had a lot of games. I remember playing Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, Metroid, Deadly Towers, and Anticipation. I had over 70 games, but I don't remember most of them. I remember a lot of NES games being very unique (not always in a good way)
Zanac is a fun game. The different weapons are interesting, and each stage is significantly harder than the previous. There is a rumor that the game becomes harder if you play aggressively. This leads some people to avoid destroying things unless they really need to. However, I have never been able to confirm that the game adapts to the player's actions with the exception of the boss platforms attacking faster as you destroy other parts of the boss.
There were other Zanac games on other systems, but I don't know how similar they are to the NES version, because the only Zanac I've ever played was the NES version.
when i was young playing terminator 2: this is a piece of fuckins hit! many years later watching avgn videos, i realise the game was made by ljn and i was not disapoint
The "Dragons Lair" laser disc arcade game must have been 20 years ahead of it's time. And "Dragons Lair" for the NES is now twenty years of pure shit ass fucking shit!
@Marioking707 he did a video on the atari called "atari porn" he hasn't uploaded to youtube, I guess for the content. It's basically about all the porn games that came out that were pretty taboo for the time. If you type it into google its the first link. The game is called Custer's Revenge where the whole point is to bang a native chick up against a tree, funny shit.
At the start of the video my mom came in just as soon as he said roten asshole, I muted it and mom said I want to know what your watching and she assumed that it was about someone Playing with himself!!
SERIOUSLY, I WAITED YEARS TO TURN 17 AND MY MOM'S REALLY OFFENDED BY ANYTHING SEXUAL!
SERIOUSLY, She got on to me for watching Austin Powers just because of the Penis Enhancer joke and Alotta Fagina's name!
@R32Studios Nah my Parents let me see porn and all shit dont mind my age shit Im actually 24 now anyway my parents let me see porn at 16+ im fuckin serious :P Would u believe she said it will hep me in my sex life???
@R32Studios just yours, nah I kid. Just remember when watching movies and shows when your parents are not in the house, wear headphones or wait till they go to bed.
I remember I had Dragons Lair for the original gameboy years ago, and it was actually pretty fun. The problem I had with the game was that I eventually got lost and didnt know what to do, so I just stopped playing. It didnt control like this garbage. >>_>>
It's pure memorization. Once you beat it, you can beat it on one life. There's a trick to the last boss which works even on the US version, but it takes consistent mad skill to pull off.
@Elektrototem The whole thing is a character,so it's like one big joke at the same time doing a review because the AVGN is a character. I thought the jokes were pretty funny though.
@supermariofan03 its not actually from any review, however hes holding a cartridge for the NEO-GEO, the cartridges are huge because its practically a home console arcade...little excessive
Super meat boy. Case closed. Crippled controls like in dragons lair aren't fun and weren't even intended to be so crippled and delayed. It's simply a design error.
