Title: Raddest Game
Post by: Glorb on February 15, 2006, 06:28:15 PM
Being a child of the 90's, I don't know much about the 80's except that it had RoboCop. However, I do know that it was also a period of videogames, many of which features 80's staples: ninjas, robots, muscle-bound guys, fast cars and muscle-bound ninja fast robocars. Anyway, which 80's videogame do you think featured the most of these elements? Personally, I think Bad Dudes was a prototypical example of this. Not only did it have a plot where the president is kidnapped by Ninjas, but it also ranked your bad dudeness, which was a factor in your quest to save the president.

So anyway, what 80's arcade game do you think was as rad as Bad Dudes?

If we're talking late 80's, it has to be a Ninja Turtles game.  No but's about it.

Of course! How could I've forgotten Ninja Turtles? They were pubescant mutant ninjitsu-practicing turtles that spoke only in surfer lingo and ate pizza! And they had a cartoon and a breakfast cereal. So, yeah, I'd say TMNT was way radder than Bad Dudes

Yo Noid! was greater than any masterpiece I've ever laid eyes on.

You should've replaced "turtles" with "terrapins" and "mutant" with "unnaturally genetically altered".  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are cool though.

MC Kids. No, seriously. It was a platform game with McDonald's characters.

It was surprisingly hard and surprisingly fun. I mean, once you get around the McDonald's presence.

I own M.C. Kids. It's awesome. My brother and I made up lyrics to all the songs.

I'll go with Rad Racer. It's gotta be one of the raddest; it's got Rad in the title!!!

Cool, Deezer replied to my thread! I'm flattered. But I disagree with Rad Racer's level of radness; Rad Racer 2 was, in my opinion, radder.

Would you dare to say twice as rad?

I don't think I've ever played a rad RPG.  There's just nothing rad about taking turns, selecting items from a menu.

Not all RPG's are like that.

Like....um...Kingdom hearts?

Let's see. '80s, arcade game, how about Donkey Kong?

Yes, I know.  I should have said TBS RPG, but that was one too many capital letters than I could handle.

Hmmm...good argument. Totally Rad was, as far as I could tell after playing it, totally rad. Although, up to today's weak standards of radnessicity, I'd say its radness is twice as rad as Rad Racer's, mostly because the rad factor of the radness can be determined radly by the rad radness of the rad rad rad.

Totally Rad is more rad than Rad Racer because the word "rad" appears at the END of "Totally Rad" -- thus giving it more emphasis to the memory of the player (as rad is the last word heard in the title, it has the most force).

Mega Man is too cool for rad.

I have that game; I got it along with my used NES. But oddly enough, I never heard its name mentioned anywhere else except here in this topic.

The best Mario game has to be PMTTYD, because you can roll up in paper and actually use Yoshi as a battle partner.

What does that have to do with being rad?

Totally Rad may be totally radder than Rad Racer, but not

I don't think Rad Racer II was rad enough. But then again, Rad Enough wasn't rad enough either! And then we've got games like Revolution X (the Aerosmith first-person shooter!), which are so rad that they really, really suck.
