3. Mega Man 2
It was 1988 and I didn’t have Nintendo Power Magazine around. Therefore, I had no clue what Mega Man was or that there was a sequel too. When I had it, I began to peruse the storyline in the introduction of the game. In it, the music begins slowly and then speeds up. It ends with seeing the hero standing like a rebel with his hair waving all around. You play as Mega Man, a robot that has pledged to battle against the underhanded robots of Dr. Wiley with the help of his maker Dr. Light. There are 8 distinct robots to defeat before getting to Wiley’s château. Furthermore, out of all the Mega Man games, part 2 has the best music.
2. Ninja Gaiden
This was the game to have and play. The game was extremely challenging and you needed some ninja abilities of your own. In it, your fingers must be snappy on the gamepad or you will undoubtedly get hit by something and bounce back. This was fine when on a level surface however if you were bouncing from one platform to another, you were damned. There were areas where you would need to stick onto a wall and hop up by squeezing back, the jump button and afterwards jump forward to hurry your way up. It sounds muddled but it was truly simple once you got the hang of it. The game had different components that made it heavenly. There were minutes where your character would tumble off a cliff and you would tumble from the sky and get another chance at life. The storyline was great as well. The presentation of the game is exemplary and it gets you pumped.
