great game this one... meant a lot to me as a kid, think it was the first hard game I ever finished and cared about... |

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITES! |

I have the gameboy-version. Was one of the first gameboy-games I ever bought. It was indeed very hard. But so playable and well made. At first each level seems impossible. But with enough practice it actually becomes quite easy. That sort of rope (never read the manual, not sure what it actually is) that he uses to swing from ledges works like a dream! They should do a remake for one of the nextgen-consoles. |

Bionic Commando & Megaman were the bestest. i actually felt self worth after beating bionic commando :p :) |

Yeah that was a great game! I wonder if it would be equally great if they made it for todays machines ? |

Do you mean the arcade or the nes version (they're very different games)? I remember swapping Probotector (Contra to the non-brits) for this and then falling out of touch with the kid. We met up after a few years and swapped them back. I think I prefer probotector, but only because I completed bionic commando (and still haven't beaten contra without infinite lives). |

Yeah Bionic Commando on the Spectrum!!! Wicked!!! |

That was like the arcade version. The Nes version had entirely different levels, storyline etc. the only thing really the same was the basic play mechanic. Anyone remember the grappling hook mod for Quake 1? That was quality... |

Oh and the music was by none other than the great Tim Folin!! I spoke to Tim once on the phone. He thinks his music from those days is a pile of shit too! Weird eh but alongside Ghouls and Ghosts his music will go down in history. |

Ghouls 'N Ghosts was, until recently, my favourite platformer. I really like the Megadrive version (nearest to the arcade) as opposed to that nigh on impossible monstrosity, Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts (on the Snes, almost more like GnG 3) |

dun da da dun da da dun da da dun da da deeeee dooooo deeeeeee deeeeeee duh da da da daaaaaaaah (my impression of level 1 music) I never played it as a kid but recently bought and beat it. At first it seems like it will be a really long and hard game, but as you get going you find out it's not really that long or difficult. It is quite fun and unique. I also got gunstar heroes. I thought it would be better given the hype. It's one of those games where one weapon (the double homing stars) is unbalanced by being way better than the rest. I havn't beat it on the harder difficulties though. I just rented gradius for ps2, that was a joke practically. I have return to castle wolfenstein rented right now. I just started and it seems to suck even though ID made it... goldeneye for n64 seems better. |

Oh man... ghouls and ghosts for nes was great but for snes... I have my cart lying on the floor in this very room with a huge gash in it. It's the only cart I ever got pissed enough to attempt to destroy. I forget if I smashed it with a hammer or what.. but the design was so fucked up because you needed that retarded weapon the princess demands you have before she'll let you fight the final boss. Why the hell would the programmer of this game include fire as a weapon. Does he/she think that is useful at all? One of the enemies most potent attacks is dropping pots with fire to make you accidently pick it up. Plus you can't shoot up or down, plus the double jump is gay. |

funny you should mention it - i was just playing this right before i came here. i also changed my avatar last night. but yes, it is one of my favorite games of all time - difficult, but great. |

Just finished a five-hour commando spree on Bionic Commando, ending with completion of the game. Ladd doesn't leave the man behind! Watch out for Master-D and General Killt! Ah, the old cheesy NES names. |

you know, this thread just puts a picture of Stretch Armstrong in my head, that guy could take proper abuse :) |

your avatar change was the inspiration for me to start this thread, loved the last'ish boss where you gotta climb up inside the tank, brilliance,. finished it back in the day, and can't even do it now,.. there's a few bits where I get stuck, but oh well, what can you do... |

glad to see i inspired someone. :) |

I really like BC... THe NES-version that is. The game was difficult, but I remember a friend and I played it quite a lot and even imagined that we were the hero of the game (when we were playing outside). Great music in the game aswell. |

This game was pretty good, and seriously deserves a 128 bit update. That bionic arm... so many possibilities. I have a Worlds of Power novel. It's retarded, but it's just like playing a video game. ''To shoot a rocket at the Ninjas, turn to page 46'' ''To escape by latching onto the helicopter using your bionic arm, turn to page 54''. |

hahaha!! i had a book like that too, for Mario Brothers! Too bad Bionic Commando looks like a super spandex sissy on the cover. Ladd was much mor hardcore than that. |

This remains a spectacular game to this day, perhaps Capcom's best NES product. I'd go as far as saying it outranks the Mega Man games for its sheer uniqueness and style. I wish I had an NES and a Bionic Commando cartridge right now. ' |

HAVE YOU TRIED EMULATION BEFORE? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Several years ago I have. Doesn't it require DOS? Of course, I have now, so I might be able to run an emulator (off of another emulator!) now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
newer emulators don't require DOS - they're all made for windows now i love the soundtrack to this game |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try nesticle, it's a satisfactory window emualtor ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no no, try FCE Ultra - that's what i use, it's far less annoying IMO. :) but from what i've heard, NESticle is good too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh man OH MAN this game was so awsome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I emulate all my nintendogames on imbnes (on PSX [1])... In fact the only games I play on the psx are nesgames, hehe but it's good, except I don't have a modchip so I have to go through the boot-process every time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also use FCEU, it's all I've EVER used for the past three years. Great, no-frills emulator, does everything it needs to do perfectly. NESticle is gross because the cursor is a dismembered hand. |
