Bucky O'Hare [NES]

This game is hard. When people talk about "Nintendo hard," they're talking about this game. Some of it comes from cheapness (most bosses have at least one way to kill you instantly. What the fuck?), some of it comes from bugginess (clipping issues mostly), and some of it comes from genuine challenge. This makes it kind of hard to review, since everything else is good. It looks good, it sounds good, and it controls well (when you're not running into the aforementioned clipping issues and such). You can switch characters as you rescue them (the crew of the titular Bucky's ship have been kidnapped and scattered) and they all have different weapons and abilities, such as clinging on walls and jet packs. With all that, is it a good game? ...Well, obviously, no. When you're constantly hitting brick walls that will make you create all new curse words because you've used up all the others, all enjoyment gets drained. Fuck this game. Even if I can't stop going back to it.
