Games you barely remembered as a kid that you successfully tracked

Have you played Sengoku 3? It's probably the coolest Beat'EmUp I can think of.

When you successfully complete it you get to rename the museum's snack bar and I could never freaking do it within the computer lab time limit but my jewish buddy Danny Greenspan could and he would name it all kinds of shit like just to taunt me!

This pile of shit right here. 5yo me thought it was the greatest thing ever but as an adult I barely consider it a "game"

still looking for a ton of windows 95/98 games, but here's one I did find. HoverRace, still has a small community to this day.

My mom rented Kirby Super Star once, You could not tear me away from it. The next week, that video store stopped carrying SNES games, and though I would occasionally look for other Kirby games, this one alluded me for years.

Then I heard that they were remaking it for the DS. I don't think I have ever played through a game more times than Super Star Ultra.

It certainly has a ton of flaws, like the fact that most of the game is piss easy, but there's a lot of content in that cartridge and a ton of hidden material, and areas to explore. I also consider it one of the few remakes that I prefer to the original. The SNES version is pretty damn fun with a buddy to play 2P with.

These are amazing. I knew stuff like that existed (I used to watch Captain Power on TV, and there was an associated lightgun toy), but I wasn't aware that there was a bunch of these sorts of things. Neat concept, and I'm sure a young kid would have enjoyed just about anything back in the day, but it seems painfully primitive compared to even late 80s video games.

I have. The graphics are really good for neo-geo, but I found it a pretty tedious game with some really broken mechanics. It just seems unfinished or rushed.

A long time ago, I used to play a kung-fu game at my friend's dad's office (he was an optometrist, and had video games in his waiting room), and all I remembered was that when you got hit, it would show as a little red many-pointed circle.

Just two years ago, I was filling my portable MAME device with roms, and came across Yie Ar Kung Fu. I almost shit myself when I saw those little red hits. I had forgotten that I had forgotten that game, until right at that moment.

They are primitive even by late 80s standards. Arcade games were doing similar things with film reels in the 70s. It's really the linear nature that limits the appeal. It's kind of surprising that there were no laserdisc light gun games or none that I can think of anyway. Ghost Manor sort of was but it just uses a cursor to aim. There are a few of those, and rail shooters that overlayed graphics like Astron Belt.

Speaking of Captain Power, that was actually the show that pushed the feds too far and led to the passage of the CTA. I was personally affected by it, even. Like you I had watched Captain Power on Saturday mornings all through 1987 just imagining how cool it would be to play along if I only had one of the gun/ships. Then that Christmas I actually got one (the villain one of course) and would be so hype all week to play for that one half hour block. Then just 8 weeks later the show got cancelled and disappeared. I was so upset and my dad was fucking pissed. He took that toy back to Woolworth, demanded a refund and got it lol. They tried to give him some shit about buying it on VHS and that only had him totally flip on them "You want me to buy a $400 VCR and $20 tapes so my son can play with his $30 toy?!?" I think he was close to punching that shrimpy manager.
