Rate the Game: Week 74

Come one and come all, boys and girls, to this week's edition of Rate the Game. We're now less than a year away from wrapping this whole party up. Well, this latest iteration at least. Who knows if this thing winds up going into the year 2023. Speaking of the year 2023, that's when Perfect Dark takes place, which was last week's game to rate. So it looks like it's time to find out where Joanna Dark's first outing ends up on our leaderboard. A lot of love and a lot of good memories but how did it do overall. Give me some of that leaderboard action....




Oof, oh so close. Perfect Dark scrapes at the door of the top 10 but ultimately gets shut out and ends up at number 11 with a 4.3 average rating. Cracking into the elite crew is getting tougher and tougher even for a top covert agent like Joanna Dark. Nothing to be ashamed of as it's a pretty good spot to be in...but for how long? What will this week's game do the standings? Let's take a dive into the BOWL OF DOOM and find out....

via GIPHY



Presto! We go back into the deep past once again as we tread some more beat-'em-up ground with this week's game. It's the first entry in the saga of Billy and Jimmy, Double Dragon! One of the grandfathers of the genre, how does it stack up in the gaming world? Do you have fond memories of it or is it a bust? Rate and discuss and share and rant and all of that fun stuff we've come to enjoy over these many, many weeks. Until next time....




No matter what may happen to me, just remember Lzzy Hale gave me the bedroom eyes...



...again.

Some of the best OG gaming music, by far. The main theme alone rips.


I remember playing the hell outta this game on my Sega Master System. I remember liking it more than the NES version. Also remember playing the arcade machine at a local Noble Romans pizza joint that still stands today (and is the last one I think).


Easy 5 for me, rose-colored glasses or not. I went on to play the rest of the Double Dragon games as well, with 2 or 3 probably being my fav. Double Dragon x Battle Toads on SNES was a TON of fun.

I played the fighting game based off the cartoon when we were all growing up. That's my only real experience with the franchise.

But, this is the original NES entry. Which I never played. Was more of a River City Ransom guy.

Fun, but repetitive, even before it's time. DD 2 improved on it in every way.

Shit I wasn't consistent here. DD2 is absolutely a far better game. Should give this one a 4 and the sequel a 5. Oh well.

Yeah do that. It would be more fair. In the past I've never given a game a 5 if I think the sequel is way better. Leaves no room to express how much better the follow up is, ya know?

ikr. I think playing that and Castlevania 2 a lot when I was super young were greatly responsible for my gaming skill level getting as high as it was. Bayou Billy was monstrously difficult. Couldn't combo break/knock down enemies. So many enemies in the shooter levels that even Mad Dog McCree himself couldn't gun them down. And the reaction time required on the driving levels and enemies that blow your car up in one shot....fuck.

Bayou Billy was the first Souls game. Change my mind.

My grandparents got them for me because they thought those must be those new fangled vidya games that were all the rage. For several years there I was guaranteed to get one of these as part of my christmas. She is sweet as can be but she didn't know. She still doesn't. She still gives me a pack of hot wheels cars every year. I'm 37.

I don't think I ever got past the first stage of the terminator one. Not for lack of trying though. God it was trash.

For each mega man game, I did those sections the hard way once, just to say I did it, but it was rush/magnet beam/item for all subsequent play throughs.

Easy 5 for me, rose-colored glasses or not. I went on to play the rest of the Double Dragon games as well, with 2 or 3 probably being my fav. Double Dragon x Battle Toads on SNES was a TON of fun.
Never got around to Double Dragon and Battletoads. It just seemed like an odd pairing, like X-Men X Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Although, that absolutely would've blown my mind as a kid.

In a way it kind of demonstrates how hot Nintendo was at the time when you've got a company willing to rip-off something like the Virtual Boy in the hopes of cashing in on its potential craze.

NES Ghostbusters end screen lololol:


And while we're on the topic, James/AVGN has thoroughly convinced me that with the exception of Spider-Man vs. Venom: Maximum Carnage, LJN in particular cared about nothing but $$$ regardless of console generation. Just don't trust the Spirit of Speed 1937 (Dreamcast) box art...they folded in 1995, whereas that game came out in 2000. Acclaim just figured their dead carcass for a convenient scapegoat, knowing the game was a shit show.

In Guitar Hero 5, one of the achievements is titled "All Four Bass Are Belong to Us". One of the few instances I came close to actually pissing myself with laughter.
