I need to be thankful that those bar games were hard from the beginning and had me killed within seconds whenever I tried them, so I never got addicted to them. If those games had used modern user-retention tactics back then I would’ve spent a ton of coins in my life.
Totally not me who just started NES The Legend of Zelda recently, haha, haha…
If you want to have a great time completing the first Zelda, try playing it with Hand Drawn Gameguides.
It’s written like a kind of journal with a lot of artwork and hints that don’t immediately spoil the experience but give you enough guiding to find the rest yourself.
Wait till you play legend of Zelda II on nes. By many claimed to be the hardest LoZ game to this day.
I played it so much that I did a playthrough all on one save. I had to leave the NES plugged in overnight, which is some sort of miracle that the dog didn’t yank out the cord.
I’m not typically good at games, so I will still be babbling about this accomplishment on the day I succumb to advanced dementia.
Ah yes the original dark souls.
That game requires the manual as a way to prevent piracy so read up.I can’t think of a part of Zelda that required the manual. Are you thinking of StarTropics, perhaps?
Maybe, it’s been a long time. I thought the walls that can be bombed were in the manual?
It’s been a looooong time, but I remember the manual saying that they were a thing that exists, but not telling you where they are.
EDIT: Found the manual online. Turns out it doesn’t even tell you that much. It does tell you how to find the first two dungeons, but you can figure that out yourself without the manual. Also, I forgot one of the dungeons was shaped like a swastika, which, I know that has different connotations in Eastern cultures and Nintendo wasn’t really entirely conversant with Western cultures at this point, but hoo boy.
Oh that’s really cool
Dude, ghosts and goblins and super ghosts and ghouls are just torture devices
Her boss surely is a wicked guy isn’t it
First it was bungee jumping incident, now she were forced to play this video game embodiment of hell for the company marketing purposes
Poor girl just wants to get through her day and make some pocket money in the process…
In fairness that game is designed to hate you
