Topic: Damn you 'Super Metroid'

[Chozo Ghost]

It isn't just that its all three games. Its also (currently anyway) the only way you can play the first two with Wii controls. Plus it all comes on one disc and you get a sturdy metal case, so its all around better than having all three games separately.

Chozo, all of these things I know, but I am on a tight budget. Right now I am staring at three birthdays coming up, and my school break. So I could get presents for the people I care about and also have some fun out during break, or I can put a $70 dollar dent in that with a game that I already own 1/3 of.

I did say that I will be working soon, so once I rake in a paycheck I can afford it. Will that be satisfactory, Chozo?

Speaking of so terrrible their good

anyone ever played Custard's Revenge? or a Knight on the Town?

to be honest as far as Atari 2600 games go they aren't bad.

now for a bed intruder game

I have never heard anything positive about Custer's Revenge. Terrible gameplay, terrible graphics (even by Atari 2600 standards), and revolting plot (you are trying to dodge arrows so that you can rape a Indian girl who is tied to a cactus).

now for a bed intruder game

Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife- and hide yo' husbin cuz they rapin err'body out here...

I imagine that it would be a bullet hell shooter, and you?

@ TJ, I think the point is that it is horrible, and to the point where you enjoy it.

[Ian Sane]

The thing I find so bizzare about Custer's Revenge is that some company decided that erotic games would be a good idea during a time where no hardware existed that could depict an attractive human being.  Who would honestly be turned on by Custer's Revenge with it's incredibly blocky graphics?  If that turns your crank then you probably could get hot and bothered looking at homemade stickman drawings and you can create those yourself for much cheaper than a videogame would have cost.

Or is Custer's Revenge not supposed to be sexual stimulating and is more like crude humour?

[Chozo Ghost]

The reason why Custer's Revenge had to be rated adult and prohibited from children isn't because it accurately depicts human anatomy, but because it simulates the act of rape. I don't know if people were turned on by it or not, but if they were it wasn't because of the graphics but by the act itself... some people like rape and are turned on by it and would have enjoyed that regardless of the quality of the graphics. Just like how people can be turned on by erotic fiction, where its only text but it describes things that arouse them. And of course, in the Atari 2600 days blocky graphics were all that was available so you made due.

But the main appeal of the game was most likely because of the controversy surrounding it. The game was crap in all respects, but it managed to piss off a lot of people and whenever you have controversy like that you have people drawn to it like a moth to a flame and that's probably where the bulk of the sales came from. Some company could create a Terrorist simulation game where you play as a terrorist and hijack planes and fly them into buildings, and of course that would piss off people. Glen Beck and O'reilly would be ranting about it and there woudl be protests against it, but that would make people aware of its existence and it would sell on that basis even if the gameplay was as terrible as Superman64.

probably more like crude humor, its just funny when you get to the end, and then you begin to complete the objective.

A Night on the Town is like legitimately fun, if it didn't have perverted graphics the company might still be around. A Night on the Town is similar to custards revenge, except your crossing a mote, and you got to lay down the bricks for the bridge, if you don't jump fast enough an alligator bites your privates off or a goblin rapes you. The best thing i could compare it to is a cross between Frogger, and Lemmings.


ok this must be the worse game ever

That would be my guess. I'd think they would have created something different if they were going for a type of pornography.

That reminds me of a game about the Columbine shootings where you play as the shooter. It was an RPG with pretty basic gameplay, and it got a lot of buzz due to the controversy around it.

It isn't just that its all three games. Its also (currently anyway) the only way you can play the first two with Wii controls. Plus it all comes on one disc and you get a sturdy metal case, so its all around better than having all three games separately.

None of that changes the actual games though, so it isn't worth it for anyone who owns all three. Even $20 was pushing it, $10 would have been the sweet spot. I'm a little surprised it never got to that price, but after thinking about it, I guess it makes sense. It would seem that the popularity of the Wii has inflated the prices of many of its games, and so Prime 3 and the Trilogy have both held their value far more than Prime 1 and 2. I remember that I got the original Metroid Prime about a year after release for $8.

i need a new copy of Metroid prime 2 because my dog ate it

I missed out on the whole Trilogy Deal, I really should have picked it up. My only problem with it was I had 3 already, and I had forgotten that my dog ate 2. How does someone forget about their dog eating their game? The dog also ate my Party Monster DVD , your dog eats a couple of your things, and you start to lose track.

[Chozo Ghost]

The company which made Custer's Revenge also made some other Adult games, but they vanished like a lot of other video game companies during the video game crash of 1983.

Here are two other Adult games they made:

Incidentally, those games are also considered among the worst games ever made...

Did you really just state that Metroid Prime Trilogy should have been $10?  SMITE SMITE SMITE

[Mop it up]

No, I did not. I was simply saying that, for me, personally, $10 (new or used) would have been ideal, since I already own all three games. Though I probably would have gotten it for $20 if I had the money at that time.
