Castlevania II Simon’s Quest

Difficult Nintendo Games Of The 1980′s That I Conquered Without Game Genie: Castlevania II

Simon's Quest

I will admit that I had to use a player’s guide at one point.  With sidescrolling games one depends on the current screen to move to the next screen.

At one point I reached a deadend.  In front of me was a wall.  How did I get pass this?

I purchased a player’s guide from Wal-Mart.  My player’s guide did not contain pretty little photos pointing out where to go.  At age 11 I had to read plain text and try and figure out what they were talking about. ~Scholar Mel November 10, 2011

"Tempest" was hard for me. I had a hard time with spinning the knob precisely.

Temptest? Was that a nintendo game?

I agree with the rest of them. I miss my nintendo too. I miss the laughing dog on Duck Hunt. I try hard as I could but could never shoot that bad dog.

This post brings back a lot of memories.. I miss my Nintendo :(

I do miss the simplicity of how games used to be. Simple but difficult.

Machine language programming. Actually, it wasn't that difficult.

Your parents only bought you the boring Nintendo games huh?

Ah, very old school :-)

Hmm...
I don't remember 'Simon's Quest'.
I've probably blocked it out.
As it no doubt conquered me.

What!? How do you not remember Simon's Quest?

You were probably more of a Battle Toads type of kid weren't you?
