    Remember to "Just say no"! To be honest, this whole review was worth putting together just for that ultra-satisfying moment at 3:45 where I blew up all those stupid dogs with a rocket. Thanks for tuning in!

      So it''s not just me. Any dog enemy I've ever encountered in literally any game aggravates me to no end. That was satisfying to see. Good review :)

    Great review. I enjoyed playing this port way back when. I abused busting the baddies to get those points and lives. To this day, I still can't fully decipher what the second form of Mr Big is supposed to be.

    I was to young i was around 10 in 1989 when i first saw the arcade game i remember i was never allowed to play this in our local theatre arcade lol its funny around 1994 this game was still at the same arcade i was 15 i finally played for the first time lol

    I always remember this game as a kid, in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), they briefly show the final form of the Mr. Big boss fight in the underground Foot arcade. That's awesome getting a MarMax and Retrosnow upload in the same day! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

    • @snowcon3
      @snowcon3  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah haha I've always remembered that too from TMNT. Always thought that underground facility was awesome. I would have totally been in the Foot if not just for the arcade games.

    Wow, this looks so much different than in my head from so long ago. I only rented this game, and even the arcade version was weird to me. The "updated" version from 2005 was even weirder to me.
    As always, a great video!

    Cool review. As for the music in this conversion, it was done by the same composer who'd go on and do the music in Battletoads and Donkey Kong Country since the game itself was ported by Rare.

    It's been too long since I've seen one of your reviews. Welcome back!
    This game was crazy. With NES' censorship at the time, when a game like this squeaks by, it's like, "uhhh. ok? No issue with this, Nintendo? Just the cover? "

    Narc the video game has somewhat of a vibe and reference to the short lived action/drama T.V. series that premiered on NBC called Nasty Boys, that short lived TV series was about busting drug dealers.

    This is one of those games for me that I always found funny just because of the idea and the locations and of course the great boss names/stat screens. But it was one I never played much of because I always thought every iteration of it was ugly looking hahaha. That being said it is pretty fun. Great review, Snow.

    Ever tried the crappy unlicensed NES Color Dreams game Raid 2020? They tried to continue the theme and even funnier due to the futuristic year that's now current.
    I had a friend with NARC on NES as a kid and I remember we enjoyed playing 2 player mode on it even more than Contra. Also, the period Pixies b-side of the NARC theme is great: th-cam.com/video/3IC-P5fnLx8/w-d-xo.html

    The way to beat this is a little odd instead of killing everyone you need to get your keys and go to the doors as fast as you can. This strategy helped me finish.

    • @snowcon3
      @snowcon3  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Very cool, I will give that a try. I was thinking about it but kind of wanted to show the combat a bit for the footage's sake.

    • @nesgimp6099
      @nesgimp6099 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Some of the Nes games are like that. You can play them and enjoy them but at times if your trying to beat them you must employ specific tactics that are counter intuitive. Get the key and go past enemy after enemy to the exit. In the end you’ll finish the game but playing and finishing are sometimes different things. It’s hard to explain but if you play a lot of retro games I think you’ll understand.
