    I was a big fan of this as a kid. I only ever got about halfway through, but I really loved turning into the big guy and punching everything.

    Yeah, sorry for the suggestion that that area in stage 2-2 might be a 1-Up Gathering spot. I never would have guessed that that was just a lucky coincidence.
    Still, I am kinda happy that the first stream of 2023 was such a ragetastic one. Definitely made for a couple of entertaining hours.
    Since you mentioned them at one point in the stream, I recently tried out the two other NES Addams Family games besides Fester's Quest:
    -The Addams Family (where you play as Gomez) I found decent, it is fine. It certainly appears very difficult to finish the whole game in one sitting with just three continues and after game over, you have to start all over again. I can imagine you not liking it too much because it is a kind of small-scale Metroidvania with memorization involved.
    -Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt is a bit more accessible I think because at least it gives you passwords after you defeat a boss so you don't have to finish the game in one sitting. Still has Metroidvania elements though and it is really weird that the actual game has no music for some reason.
    Here are some other platformers you might want to check out/come back to on NES/Famicom (apologies in advance if you already checked them out in a variety stream):
    -Adventure Island 2 + 3 (at least 2 brought some improvements that made it a bit more forgiving than its predecessor)
    -Adventures Of Tom Sawyer (during your NES A-Z streams, you appeared to have a good impression of that game so it might be worth a more in-depth look).
    -Akumajou Dracula: Boku Dracula-kun (a more comic platformer and a spin-off of Castlevania. Made by Konami so it should be at least fine or something).
    -Aladdin (yep, Aladdin which only came out in Europe. Might be worth for a laugh if you are nearing the end of a stream since I can see one aspect of the graphics turning you off).
    -Armadillo (a Famicom-only platformer where you are an armadillo with a hat and roll attack enemies)
    -Asmik-kun Land (again Famicom-only platformer that seemed decent at least)
    -Asterix (Europe-only NES platformer based on that famous comic strip)
    -Atlantis No Nazo (the game that took pride on its box art by declaring itself to be better than Super Mario Bros.. One difficult game).

A strategy is to get as many points and try to not get hit as the big mega-dude. This game definitely sharpens your reflexes...... If you get to Area 4 and get a game over, it'll let you continue from Area 2.

    Watched the whole thing. Amazing. This is an example of one of those games with a punitive difficulty level that actively tries to make sure no one can beat it. I have to say though, I think this is the first time I've ever seen a game where after you run out of ammo you start swinging your rifle like a club. Even modern shooters don't do that. It would be great to see a Doom mod where the alternate fire for the pistol is pistol-whipping the demons, and the alternate fire for all the other guns is beating the demons with the gunstock. The Native Americans designed some war clubs after gunstocks because they made such effective improvised clubs. Apparently not in Amagon though.

    LOL instant like. One of my favorites. Hard as hell. Still have the box, but no game........ I once beat it without dying (I have no proof), but it took about a million resets before I did. Sucks when you get to the 5th or 6th area and die..... This will be fun I'm sure.

    Why? Why do you have to get hit?
    You want to be able to shoot at them, so you are getting hit to turn back to the guy with the rifle.
    Doesn't the big guy have a way to SHOOT...that ALSO uses your power and turn you back?
    2 dongs...1 stone.

    I always confuse Dino Rikki with Amagon but I guess they have something in common: they are both brutally hard, and I have to say Amagon should be at the top along with other stablished and hard NES games like ghosts & goblins, star force, king's knight, castlevania 3, battletoads,etc.

    Wow. Just the other day I was like man I wanna see Mike play this beast🤣. I got this game as a bundle back when I was 6. Without cheats it’s so hard like ghosts and Goblins hard an the levels work the same way. It’s all about knowing where and when the big man icon will or could pop up then when to use it. That’s all the points are good for. It’s one of those you have to memorize every little thing in every level enemy wise. The hardest parts are that sometimes the big guy icons show an sometimes not also the damn limited ammo. There’s a certain point in level 4 the river level that you have to get the icon an be good enough to not lose it the first waterfall part. Like you saw you don’t get the chance to get it back. That happens later on in the nighttime jungle as well. Good luck next playthrough an get plenty of practice. You will need it as you pretty much almost reached the halfway point of the game an it only ramps up from there!

  • @UtushoReiuji
    @UtushoReiuji ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This game is a bit like Fester's Quest in that the levels are too long and the bosses soak up too much damage to the point where they become unfun after you've been pounding them for two minutes.
    I think it's totally fair to practice this one with Game Genie codes for Infinite Ammo and Infinite Lives.
