Aaaaahh!! The Guardian Legend!!. One of the first multi-genre games. And one of the best viedeogames I've played. I really liked the soundtrack. Almost magic!!. LONG LIFE TO "THE GUARDIAN LEGEND"!!

YYYEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Finally I found people that totally agree with me about this game. It was truly way ahead of its time!!!!

@TheLonelyImmortal Well, in Guardian Legend it was about exploration so in places as with weapons. Weapons like Laser sabre was a really big help in lots of stages.

and yes, I have played Star Soldier, made a video about it.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@Bastiest Well, I was a pretty sad kid when I was little, and there were no video walkthroughs (that I knew of) back then. I'll give it a shot. But I seem to remember that when you continue after dying, you only have a low amount of health and chips. Is that right?

Hey have you played Star Soldier?

[Bastiest]

@TheLonelyImmortal Why would you want to ruins such perfect expirience as Guardian Legend with a gamegenie?

It is only meant for those horribly programmed impossible to beat movie licensed games that lots of companies tried to make quick buck with and kids were stupid enough to buy 'em just because they had a same name as the movie.

@TheLonelyImmortal the Wii's Virtual Console on the wii shop channel

@TheLonelyImmortal i have cleaned my nes with a cleaning kit and eventually went a step further and replaced the 72 pin loader. what i do know is the genie is supposed to make games work on the original nes because the PCB on the genie is much thicker hence why you do not have to push the cart down.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@ratix98 Do you have an NES cleaning kit? I have only one game that just won't work no matter how much I clean it. But everything else works eventually. I've actually found that a game genie can actually help the game work sometimes. *shrugs* I don't think that a Game Genie can break a game, unless something's jammed inside the Game Genie, I guess.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@Nibs08 Getting this the old fashioned way will cost you about 20 bucks. What's VC?

[ratix98]

@TheLonelyImmortal i had two game genies. i have two games that no longer work and i think it was the game genies that did it. they were battle toads on the genesis and zelda 2 on the nes. i really ment to say was the genie could damage the cart. im not all no cheating guys. i like to use exploits from time to time just not so much anymore.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@ratix98 Well from what you say, it sounds like you personally, should not buy Game Genie. But for people like me, who don't buy games just for a big challenge to overcome, I should buy the game, because I play to enjoy myself.

Oh, and Game Genie can also make games harder. Some codes are designed to do that. In the Game Genie NES booklet, this is symbolized by a person wearing a blindfold, fyi.

[ratix98]

@TheLonelyImmortal really the game and many others were a cake walk. game genie ruins games if anything.
