Oh it get's worse. Wait till you have to jump on them, landing perfectly on top, and the whole map is just pillar to pillar. It's one of the hardest games every created later on.
This was one of my favorite games when I was growing up! The music takes me back! Great game! Edit: You can hit the basic pillars during the run for a chance for it to drop an item.
This has quickly become one of my favorite NES games and I’ve learned even more about it from everyone watching this video. I just found out that the green pillars are good! 😂
@@MatCaveGaming trivia: iirc, there are like three different versions of this game i've played. in one of them, when you pause, the character sits and smokes a cigarette!
Check out Race America is you haven't. It's my most definitive "hidden gem". Is an unassuming racing game, but it is very ahead of its time. It has multiple camera angles including a "cinematic" angle. I very rarely see it mentioned.
@@MatCaveGaming oops... i sent a reply, but posted the link to buy the rom. The post was flagged & removed 😹 You'll be able to find the ROM for sale through the company's website, just search for Morphcat games. I already per-ordered Micro Mages 2 with how much I loved the first one 😻
@@MatCaveGaming Ugh. This is my 3rd attempt to respond. Just search for the game or Morphcat (the company) & it'll be available on their website. TH-cam sucks with as little as they'll even let someone say on here...
How is this a "hidden gem"? It was all over the place in the 80s, store flyers, demos, magazine ads, etc. It was even in rental stores. I am guessing this video was directed at the younger folk who weren't around in the 80s (or too young to remember). Regardless, it was a fun game.
Brother, it's so painful to watch you not realize you're supposed to run into the green pillars for powerups :(
OMG! The green pillars are GOOD??!!?? Okay, I gotta fire up this game again. THANK YOU for letting me know. 👍🍻
Came to the comments to say this! This was the 2nd or 3rd NES game I owned Back In The Day.
I came here to say this lol getting the shield and the fireball really add a lot to the gameplay :)

Oh man! I haven't got that far yet.

Now THIS IS an Epic comment..!
I completely forgot about this game. I remember having a harder time in the later levels. Awesome.
Yes loved this game as a kid
"Frequent rental" struck a real old nerve, bro.
Careful with that nostalgia your stirring.
Strumming that nostalgia 12-string all day, every day 🤣👍😉🍻🎮🕹️

It has quickly become one of my favorites now, too 🍻👍🎮🕹️
Weirdly I have memories of this game but I'm sure I never owned it. Looks like a lot of fun!
I used to rent this game when I was 6 years old in 1992. I ended up buying it years back.
Please play Kid Icarus for the NES sometime please! It’s a kind of obscure Nintendo game but I remember LOVING it as a kid.
That's actually my wife's favorite NES game! I will add to my list. 👍🍻🎮🕹️
Owned this game as a kid, played it every morning before school
Such a fun game!
great game! wait until you get to the later stages tho. they are BRUTAL...

I just looked it up and it looks amazing! I will definitely be looking for a copy of "Race America" ASAP!
You should give Micro Mages a try, it's a home-brew but what a fantastic game!!
I will look that up! Is it a rom that I will be able to find?
