It's a sidescrolling adventure game through one of the most bizarre game worlds I've ever seen, in which you must find items, solve puzzles, and beat bosses. Complete with kickass Japanese-style graphics and music, Goemon is a game that's easy to enjoy and provides a good enough challenge.įaxanadu was one of the first NES games I owned that truly stumped me. A quirky game that combined action sidescrolling stages with RPG-like towns, Mystical Ninja quickly became one of my favorites! Mystical Ninja has a host of crazy boss fights, including one that is a giant face that gets bigger and bigger with each hit until it fills the entire screen, and another that consists of a group of ninjas on an airborne kite! Mystical Ninja also includes really fun bonus games, like the Mole Bop and the first level of Gradius.
