Amagon (NES)
Very difficult game. Takes a lot of trial and error especially since you don’t get continues at all until you reach level 4. Even then you can’t continue from level 4 unless you clear both stages of the level, so if you game over on 4-2, the closest you can start from is 3-1 lol. Still, it’s a really addictive and fun game. The kind of game I just can’t put down until I’ve finished it. It’s definitely got some goofy art choices and janky gameplay, but it’s got a certain charm to it that I love. Also has a pretty great soundtrack. Took me 3 days of chipping away at it until I was able to finally get deep into level 5 & 6 tonight. Once I got to the final boss it only took me 2 attempts since I had an Amagon boost drop right before him the second time. Great game if you like this genre! Def would recommend to folks who like hard games.
