I seem to have missed out on the NES first time around, so I've started a new video series in which I play NES games (usually poorly) for the first time and record my impressions. Here's the first one.

Tiger-Heli is far too generic of a shmup to hold my attention for more than a couple of minutes. Shmups were rather pathetic as a general rule during the 8-bit days. I did like Sky Shark, but again, it's still generic.

Yeah that's a Puka idea fella. Will keep an eye out for these as I was not a NES user either so these will be interesting.
I actually like the look of this game, so much so I am going to see if I own it and if not go and buy it lol.

I usually find most pre-PC Engine era shoot 'em ups to be unfun/unbalanced, but Tiger Heli was quite enjoyable, def. worth getting.

You don't say, but looks like you are playing on an emulator. This makes me wonder if you have full controller functionality for these games using the keyboard arrows or a PC game pad. Real hardware is the best way to experience NES, and some of the frustrations seen in your videos would be minimized.

Hudson did some shmups on the NES - they ran huge hi-score compeitions in Japan across the country using them - gave rise the idea of a caravan mode.
Star Force, Star Soldier and Hector '87 were 3 games that ware used in these tournaments.
Check out Sqoon by Irem on the NES which is a neat little submarine horizontal shmup.

I'm using Nestopia to emulate and playing with my trusty PS1 Dual Shock using the digital pad - certainly a lot more comfortable for my hands than the old style pads and great for retro stuff.

I'm not generally a heavy swearer so I don't feel the need most of the time. The occasional one may pop in now and again but it won't be very strong. You can be more creative with language if you don't swear often and only use it when it it most effective.

That reminds me of Xevious because of the combination of ground and air enemies that the player has to fight. It does appear to be more difficult, though.

The NES was not a bad system.
It is a conspiracy by Atari and Sega fans to mislead.

Trek, I'm not sure if that was the case. Gun Nac probably didn't sell particularly well in its time, so even though it had a full retail release, it's somewhat rare to find today. There are others factors that can drive up the value, too. The trend shows that Gun Nac seems to be steadily climbing in price today.

Ha, I remember buying this when it came out. Was excited to see a title with Jason and was ready for a genuine slasher.. then played it. Pretty much did the same thing. Wandered around aimlessly trying to figure out where to go and what to do. Made myself play for a few weeks hoping to develop a taste for it and found that if I went to the cabins that were under attack with that annoying alarm I could battle Jason there and die a lot faster.
It was a waste though as the alarm almost never stopped sounding. Eventually gave up and sold it to a video store for like $5 which was more than its worth. Too bad there was no internet back then. I could've skipped it altogether.
I'm contemplating trying it again with infinite health and children to see if it's beatable (by me lol). Probably be a waste of more time. :113:

This one I have played and I've also reviewed. Leaves much to be desired! LOL
