    :zombie: Wow. Way to mix it up. I think I played something similar when I was a kid. It was a zapper game in which I had to shoot obstacles to allow the baby to crawl safely across the screen. It starts off looking real pretty, but then it turns all gory. It was weird.

    Wohoo my first mindfuck game I've ever played. I have many fond memories of it, and since it's near holloween I should really play it again. I even had a dream once of meeting bert, but that might have been from over playing the thing and getting lost over and over. Good game, good playthrough.

    The 'how to win at Nintendo' book I used to own painted a much brighter picture of this game...

    Abadox is another NES game that had tons of blood and gore and yet still went under Nintendo's censorship radar. It seems that 8-Bit blood and gore is OK, but gain another 8 bits and good bye E rating!

    That ending was quite disturbing.
  • TurboPup
    It's really too bad that this game isn't very good, because I love its insanity. XD The game feels unfinished, and strangely that seems to have leaked over to the censorship too!

    This game is a pretty weird case too, because there was some censorship... but I've read that the Japanese version was never released, so we can't see much of what got changed outside of a few screenshots. Dunno if any prototype carts still exist or anything like that.

    The scenery change halfway through level 1 is pretty badass, it's always stood out to me as a pretty cool moment.
  • CreatorGX  - wut?

    This game is completely ridiculous visually. It's like if Little Nemo was a satanist or something.

    After playing it though, I will certainly admit that it is a difficult game if you don't pay enough attention to the game mechanics. Nice play-through~ But why Slowpoke?

    Ok, this game isn't that hard. I beat it quite easily as a kid. It took practice, but I don't think this game belongs on this list. Besides the haunted house, which you can easily have made a map for, this game is too easy once you practice for a bit...Its a lot of fun though.

    So you help Bert to defeat the evil monsters, and then as a reward he gives you a present that kills you.
    What a dick.

    This game's an acid trip! XD
    And yeah, I have no idea how this went by Nintendo's censors.

    This is the first NES game I beat. My grandparents bought it for me as a kid. Great game

    Great vid LK.

    Of course, C64 games never had such a policy... So we got our fair share of ghoulie ghostie games!

    Man, this looks disgustingly awesome :snicker: !

    But doesn't this dead boss look more like a rotting lizard-thing?

    I remember that, theyre was even a TV show about it. It was The Invisible Man, "Franky", Wolfman, and Mummy Versus Dracula, Merman, and two more i forget. It had to do with the badguys breaking out of jail... damn now that reminds me of that monster movie where they need a virgin at the end...

    I never beat this game.

    Then again, I never tried very hard to beat Monster Party. I forget why... I'm glad I didn't, I probably would have gotten stuck in the unwinnable state in round 8.


    UWW ftw btw.

    Why did you hit a dog in the nose, LordKat?

    That's mean...
  • Foxglove
    I love Monster Party but I'm not entirely sure why. :zombie:
  • VDX
    Looked quite hard imo. But there was no talk about "starting over from the beginning." Which means it's atleast somewhat forgiving!

    Also, Jason, ever played Rad Gravity? ^^
  • princeshadow
    Bakemono, hells yeah!

    Time for a horror researcher to prove his worth!
    First off, that minotaur you fought that shot out cows, I think it was suppose to be a Mushi-oni(Sorta like a cross between an ogre and a cow, yeah, an ogre that tastes delicious after a pyromaniac is through with it, awesome), as for the spider, Japan actually has a story based around a giant spider(although in some of the reference material I've gone through it was actually originally about a gang of mountain bandits, that were so dangerous that they spawned a myth about a giant spider-ogre thing, I forget what it was called, but it's quite a popular enemy to put in as bosses in most RPGs from Japan). The Sphinx guy was actually shooting out gauze, you know, the stuff that Mummies are wrapped up in(I also think that the mummy was invisible, why I have no clue, but it was). The dancing Zombies deal with some sort of festival that the Japanese celebrate during the summer(I'm not the best source of information on Japan, I just know bits and pieces), and I have to say that out of all the bosses, that was my favorite one, just some random dancing zombies, how awesome is that. The giant cat, I believe, is actually a Bakeneko(Ghost cat, nasty things in folklore, but awesome in anime and manga; they are basically normal cats, but with supernatural powers, and a split tail), or a Nekomata(I have yet to actually learn the difference between this and a bakeneko, other than the fact that it's a term given to the catgirls in Disgaea).
    As for the well-shaped thing that confused you as to what it was, I think it was just an old well that was cursed, and I believe it was either throwing plates, or some big-ass coins.

    Also, was I the only one who noticed that there were random pairs of white pants just walking around?
    What was up with that?

    I'm kinda wondering what kind of kid has dreams like THAT. o_O

    Seriously, what kind of kid dreams have blood, gore, skeletons, MegaHellHounds and Audrey 2 if he/she got hit by the Eggplant Wizard? :grr:

    Ending was still awesome. Maybe the box was the ark of the covenant all along?

    At least using kuttens as a projectile makes sense: Those little guys hurt if they latch on!

    You think Mark has fucked up dreams? I recommend you look up Yume Nikki, you might change your thoughts about him after that.

    Please review James Bond Jr. for the Super NES =D
  • Superfantastisch
    This game looks really great. The dancing zombie bit was kind of clever and I love the style and humour. It reminds me a bit of Yume Nikki. Have you ever done that game? (Sorry, I'm not a regular watcher)
  • juggalotaku
    I remember playing the hell out of this game as a kid. The level 6 labyrinth took me well over an hour to solve. I loved the game and still wish my NES worked so that I could play it.
  • sonicchica
    avatar
    Ah Superfantastisch, you beat me to the question! But I do agree it reminds me of Yume Nikki.
  • Iban  - The Ending
    Seeing the ending I immediately thought:

    "Sorry Mark, but your princess is in another castle."

    I think Mario had experience with princesses turning into monsters in front of them too!
