Oh snap! There's a Wii version coming out, where your wiimote is the proton pack and your DS is your PKE meter!

Winston? I present to you Robert Downey Jr. in blackface.
Regarding the wii version using the ds as an pke meter . . . that's the coolest thing I've heard of in a long damn time.

A lot of early video games that started to have endings were crazy hard like that, agreed.
Kinda looks like the turned this one into a mindless shooter though...

Does anyone else feel that video games made in the early 90's and especially the 80's were much more difficult than the games released today? Like almost to the point of impossible in some situations, like some of those mentioned in this post. Or is it just because I was young and I wasn't quite the gamer then that I am now?

Man... Ninja Turtles was insane!
Who here remembers the water and vertical electricity shocks in Ninja Turtles? That was ridiculous... for anybody let alone a kid.

^^^ I imagine your talking the original game for the NES, not the arcade version?
Yeah some parts were brutal, especially some of the 'jumping' parts. You had to be so exact.

Thats right. The arcade edition was different, that was the one where you start in the hotel with big ass black pinballs flying down stairs at you randomly.
The one I'm talking about had the birds eye view of the van... until you entered a building where about a billion flying enemies attacked you in every scene, and two of the turtles were useless because of the range of their weapons.
I tried it again about 2 weeks ago... so hard.

Cross over from the other thread, but I just finished Monkey Islands 1 and 2 again recently, and I STILL had to go online to check walkthroughs from time to time... well for MI2 anyway. That game is damn hard. I still remembered absolutely everything from MI1 lol.

One of my favorite movies of all time will become a game that hopefully will be one of my favorites as well.
I learned so much from Ghostbusters about life, everything from dating, investments, to catching phantoms.

Yeah, in a similar vein, Revenge of Shinobi on Genesis. I literally had to play for like two weeks to get past a coupl of spots where you had to do the double jump at the absolute perfect moment to get maximum distance to make it over certain areas. Although, I think my gaming skills are far less now than they were. I had troublee getting past the Sweet Sweet Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy last week.
I too, am looking forward to Ghostbusters on Wii. Unfortunately I don't have a DS and doubt I would pick one up for one game.

I guess games didn't have the storage capacity that they do today, so to get 10 hours out of a cartridge the developers had to be a little sneaky. Man those were the days. Stuck on a hard game, the only respite being nintendo power magazine and strategy meetings in the schoolyard. To this day I remember a conversation I had at the bike racks on how to take down Tyson in Punch Out.

Good idea. After all, the differences between Data and Egon are few and far between.
