Well, I won't argue about multitasking being an important ability for a gamer. However, the appeal of the original game always seemed to be more of a pure and simple "beat-the crap-out-of-the-other-guy" nature. The moving levels wouldn't be irritating if all of the new ones didn't do it...Once in a while they make a cool addition to the game. My objection to them is that they put in far too many compared to the others...I would have liked to see a more interesting variety of hazards. Maybe "not a good game" should be downgraded to "somewhat disappointing." I still stand by my hatred of Marth, Roy, and the Curse of the GameCube Controller though. :P

Hey Big, your last post had some serious errors in it. But don't worry, I fixed them. :D
But to get back on subject, another game I disliked was Amagon for Nintendo. Only 2 dollars from a bargain bin, and STILL a waste of money.

I don't know; to me, TM 3 and 4 were pretty distasteful, but I wouldn't call them the worst of the bunch.

Two words.

Majora's Mask.

I could not believe it. It (almost) ruined the Zelda series for me. To this day, I will wake up and think, "It isn't possible for a Zelda game to be this bad." Then I go and play it again, and end up crying in a corner for a couple of hours.

My biggest complaint is the winter place mountain thingy. In the area, there is that place where you can get your blade sharpened. And if you get the gold dust, you can make it into the Gilded sword, doubling your attack power. Permanently.

Sounds cool, right?

Only one problem. To get the gold dust, one must finish first in the goron race thingy. To get the goron race thingy, one must clear the Snowhead temple. Easy so far? You are forgetting about the time limit. The Goddamned smithy takes a day to make the sword, but by the time it's physically possible to beat the temple, get the big bomb, and open and beat the race, (even with the slow-down-time song) it's the third day. And since it's the third day, the smithy refuses to do a fricken thing about it. You're probably saying, "What's wrong with this loser? Just reset time!" Well, I've tried. You end up losing the gold dust in your bottle, AND the goron mountain place resets from spring back to winter, forcing you to try to beat the temple and race again. And again. And again.

And that Goddamned fairy doesn't make it any less painful. For more info, see my entry in the "Worst characters" thread.

*sigh*

I'm all depressed now. Time for a good session of Ocarina of Time therapy.

That's not true. The TMNT games were great, especially the first one for the NES.

Gotta love to hate those humongous item search pilgrimages.

"But in order to get into her castle, you have to pass the Pigskin Gang. You can only do that if you get the Cloak of Parity, which is in the possession of the mad Dr. Gorebush. Are you taking notes? He'll give it to you, but first you have to give him the Chad of Clarity. You can get that from the haystack of chads in Timber. But there's a guard there. He'll let you through, however, if you give him the Shampoo of Oily Hair. Then you must make haste to the Really Big Rock of Karambador, before the forces of Ba'Zoot, led by the evil King Weltpimple, conquer the Mullions of Gneep and obtain the Remote Control Unit of Doom!"

-Inhales, dies.-

ShinRa Incorporated's right. I think those evil programmers put the side-quests in to annoy us all.

Something tells me you'd love to go to Google.com and look up RPG Cliches.

I DO! I DO!

You will not be saved by Holy Water!
You will not be saved by the god Plutonium!
In fact, you will not be saved!

On a much lighter side, does anyone remember a little ol' game named Panic?
