I loved how you could beat this game in many ways. Getting the meteor arrested... going on a talk show with him... and then you could combine endings. I remember going to the talk show, and then he got arrested on the set! lol, awesome game.
True, this game may scare the crap outta me, but In reality its got very catchy tunes, My personal fav Was Dave's theme "n_n Just imagine if they made a remake for the DS or something, it would fit nicely.....
Hmm yeah, but If they were going to Re-create the series, it would be better if they started off with a DS version, just to see how it works out. it makes alot of sense since that way the company can test themselves on how to make the game and since the DS's touch screen would be suited for it. tapping the "action" button is alot easier than moving around a Mouse...
But the cursor can do things that a touch screen can't. Like if you hover the cursor over something, it can give you the name of the object without interfering with it.
If they make it, I will buy it, as long as it isn't anything like the Japanese Famicom version. Bonus if it has remixes of the music from the American NES version.
What about "Nightmare on Elm Street" Now THAT'S scary. I played this game before and I was afraid of going to sleep at night and have nightmares about Freddy coming after me! lol
all versions are sweet. nes version rocked because of the music. i remember playing for hours and hours to finish it. now i see that someone posted a video finishing it in 9 minutes. i suck. sweeeeet game
The NES version adds a fun additional way to off the Meteor. Instead of sending the Meteor flying into space by placing it in the trunk of the Edsel and turning on the modified rocket engine, launch the Edsel without the Meteor. This will demolish the garage and leave a hole in the previously locked fence which will allow you to re-enter the mansion. Run all the way up to the den on the top floor of the mansion before the timer runs out and you can feed the Meteor to the man-eating plant!
you could also use benard and get the radio tube from the living room and call the space police and have them come get the metor you just have to make sure all the doors are unlocked
if you kill dave by drowning him in the pool, the guy that ends up saying something like i'll take care of you (in a suss way) i cant remember the exact words it was so long ago, but i t's pretty funny :)
i cant WAIT for night of the meteor

Beating the game a different way makes Fred disable the meltdown. I think there are 4 ways to win the game.

The "Cadillac" is actually an Edsel; my favourite car. Furthermore, the metroid is actually a meteor, and it isn't sent to mars, just space.
