What sets it apart, is the amount of shine Konami gives it. Fantastic looking graphics for NES, great music, and spot-on controls make this a joy to play, especially if you have a buddy and play co-op two-player. --- End quote --- I gotta point out, I was nuts about those Monster in my Pocket figures when I was a kid. They came in mystery boxes so you never quite knew which ones you were gonna get. I'd open one and scream "Whoa! A RED kraken!!" It was like Pokemon, before Pokemon. They're so locked into the era of the early '90s, just looking at them warps me back in time to the days of summer sleepovers, Nerf wars, Super Soaker battles, and all-night NES. Anyway... Arkista's Ring is a fun NES game that no one talks about. It's an Zelda-like combat game where you try to find the key to the exit of each stage. |

Not sure how hidden it is but how about Solstice. Even if you don't like the game the music is crazy. |

I thought for sure it was an anime style game but it wasn't even released on Famicom wtf? That 2nd last level is a fricken joke tho how much does the difficulty spike? I lost 50 damn lives on that single level. |

For awhile it lulls you into thinking it'll be easy, then suddenly sucker punches you once you're asleep at the wheel. I didn't know it was a US exclusive. How interesting! Toobin' is another semi-obscure game I really like. The NES version has great music, nice graphics, and is fun and challenging. Who doesn't want to ride an innertube through the Okefenokee Swamp and hurl soda cans at the monsters and fishermen? It's got a great variety of stages, and it's one of the few Tengen black carts that didn't get "promoted" to a legit licensed release. |
