  • 1. Bubble Man
    2. Flash Man
    3. Metal Man
    4. Wood Man
    5. Air Man (surprisingly weak to the arm cannon)
    6. Crash Man (2 tornado shots and it's over)
    7. Fire Man
    8. Quick Man (yes, I always used the flash stopper to bypass about half of the beams and then recharged it on the mech enemies later, sue me)
    HUH? Okay then. I'm sorry to say but Bubbleman and Flashman first is not the most efficient way to go about it. Like Scott said if you move Metalman to the top of your list that will make Bubble and Flash so much easier.

    When I was a little kid I had never seen a zippo lighter, so I had no idea what the hell Heatman was. It wasn't until a few years later that I realized that Heatman was a lighter and not a flaming trash can.
    OMG, I didn't realize Heat Man was a lighter. I thought he was just, you know, a robot of heat. None of the other robot masters are supposed to "be" anything. Well, I guess Wood Man is a log.

    This coming from the man who thought the Romans got the idea for swords from the knights of the middle ages and didn't know that maggots were baby flies. From the man who just recently realized that the Beatles' name was a play on "beetle" and "beat." The man who, until only a few years ago, could not for the life of him tell the difference between Scotland and Ireland.

    pwn3d.

  • Don't worry Scott. For many years I thought he was a trash can.

    buhbuhbuh... BWAH?

    Ahahhhaaaahhaaahaa!
  • Wait, he had any in the first place?
  • Super Mario Bross.
    Super Mario Bross. 3
    Ice Climbers
    Robocop
    Batman
  • Did anyone have one of those genie things that you stuck in the system and put the game in, you could then use heaps of cheats if the code was in the book? That thing was stupid it was heavy and would often pull the game out of the system mid-game.

    I had it for N64, it made the whole cartridge system uber tall and prone to getting kicked out if someone stepped over the system.
  • I had the gameboy version. I remember experimenting with it: I'd make characters look funny, break levels, or just cause the game to not work. Wasn't till two years ago that I fiddled with it again and actually understood that it just re-wrote memory addresses. A useful tool for certain games that were just crazy-hard, but really not worth it.
  • I feel like the least hardcore gamer here with what I'm about to mention, but for me it was all about Ducktales.

    I still think its one of the best licensed games of all time.

    And I know it wasn't a game, but the Game Genie at least doubled the life of any of the other games I had, so it gets honorable mention.

    Dude! Ducktales was Motherfucking Hardcore!

  • Mega man 2. I always started with Flashman.

    I liked the power pad games.
    World Class Track Meet
    Eggsplode
    Short Order

    But I also liked the normal games like:
    Final Fantasy
    Duck hunt
    Mario 3

  • Um... Zelda. I can't remember the full name of it I think I was Ocarina of Time but I may be wrong. And Super Mario All Star and Super Mario World...again I don't think that is the right title but the one that they remade for...DS(?)
  • Tetris, my first puzzle game and still my favorite.
  • Kirby's Adventure. My sisters would beg me to play it because it was fun for them to watch me find all of the switches and beat the entire game in five hours on a weeknight. It was fun to play so I didn't care.

    Tied for first place would be SMB3, as neither of them could beat the Grassland map so I would beat the game from start to finish praying that the game wouldn't freeze up or auto-reset.

    We have SM All-Stars and they still can't play Mario games. Me and my older sister's boyfriend beat the game for her amusement two weeks ago; I beat all of the hard stages [try playing stage 5-6 without a P-Wing or 8-1 and 8-2 because your future brother-in-law keeps taking all of the good items and wasting them!] and Mr. Kick A** Gamer turned out to be a wuss.

  • Me beat the game too! Ugh!

    I forgot to put a space; sue me. Please don't display my mistakes like that for the world to see.

    Is this how people are treated who are not original members of the Front Row Crew? I understand that I'm on a forum that belongs to someone else, but to simply quote my comment and bold it for the world to see when I have seen worse typos is (unless it's Mr. Period) inappropriate.

  • What's with the red type? Did I say something wrong? Are you and Jason flaming me because of the statement that I just made? If the quote is inappropriate, then I'll just ask if someone with authority can remove it.

    This is the second time in the past twenty-four hours in which I have received a post in a negative light regarding posts that I made. If there is something wrong with my style of writing, then tell me; don't just bold it FOR THE WORLD TO SEE (unless it's Mr. Period). I believe that's what the WHISPERING option is for.

    If this is how people are treated who are not original members of the Front Row Crew, then I won't waste forum space posting.

    I'm not flaming nor trying to "troll" you. In fact, I meant nothing negative about it. It is just how grammar errors have been handled around here. Mr.Period seems to have been slacking so I thought I would just add that in. If I offended you I am completely sorry and I really honestly didn't mean to be negative towards you.

    Dude, chill. We're fairly intolerant of poor grammar or spelling here. Mr. Period publicly makes corrections in red. As we take on more moderators, they will be doing the same.

    Lately, Mr. Period has had a hard time keeping up with the post rate here due to the massive influx of new members. Some of our more dedicated listeners/posters have been making corrections via quoted posts on their own. If you don't want people poking fun at your writing, then you should be extra careful.

    No one involved in that conversation was a member of the original Front Row Crew. Furthermore, Mr. Period has been very harsh on several FRC members in regards to their poor spelling. Both he and I have corrected the posts of even our close friends.

    One of the core tenants of these forums, as with GeekNights, is that people can speak their mind. Anything you put forth is open to scrutiny of any type here by all of our members. If someone wants to call someone else out publicly, they have the right to do it.

    No one is in any way singling you out.
  • Understood. I kinda killed this thread with my ranting. I apologize.
  • So, Bionic Commando was probably the best game ever. ^_~
  • I saved up to buy my NES for one game...

    Legend of Zelda.

    That was it. Yeah, it came with Mario and Duck Hunt but I just wanted it for Zelda...

    Later on I picked up Metroid... What a bitch that game was back in the day! You never started with full life, always stuck at 30...

    One neat trick we used to use with Zelda was to save your game while at a fairy pool. When you started the game up it would completely fill your hearts!
  • Duck Hunt was a great game that often gets over looked. I can't wait to play the Wii version.

    Um, I think youare imagining things. If you save your game in Zelda 1 and start it again, you always get put back at the beginning.
  • Sorry, jwallace. It's just that the absolute best thing about this forum is that intelligent people self-police the board. Show me another forum that does that, and I will worship there as well. :D
  • Should there be a sticky about how this forum will correct your grammar? Just to let people know that it's not out of malice.
  • Um, I think youare imagining things. If you save your game in Zelda 1 and start it again, you always get put back at the beginning.
    You did get sent back to the beginning, and your hearts would refill.

    Apparently, the logic whereby upon reaching the fairy pool and your hearts refilling would pause for the save and continue (at the beginning) when you started the game up again. Go ahead and try it.

    I'm not sure if it works on the GBA version or not but... Certain slow downs that appeared in the NES version do appear in the GBA version.

    I'll try that with my GameCube version.
