StarTropics

THE GOOD:
Gameplay is enjoyable, fun and pretty fast paced, the difficulty is fair, getting harder and harder as the game progresses, which will force you to better yourself (a rarity in today's games), and likes keeping you on your toes at times, graphics are excellent and detailed, sounds and music are executed well, suited to the levels/actions and memorable, controls decent, length is good for a game of this style, and it saves which helps for a game like this.

THE BAD:
Grid movement system will take some time to adjust to as there's no diagonal movement, sometimes you'll spend quite a lot of time trying to solve 1 puzzle, movement controls can be unresponsive sometimes (it's a minor problem actually, though it gets ever so bothersome), and the later levels of the game may frustrate players due to the fact that this game forces you to better yourself.

SUMMARY:
Created in 1990 by Nintendo, Startropics is a game you that is fun and...

THE GOOD:
Unique style of gameplay. Very good graphics.

THE BAD:
Very high difficulty level. Poor controls.

SUMMARY:
One of the most-hyped NES games of all time, StarTropics was essentially a game made by Nintendo revolving around Nintendo and their desire to make their ideal videogame revolving around Nintendo real-life personalities. The story focuses on Mike Jones, a young boy visiting a relative on a remote island. But the old man's missing and Mike must do island hopping to find him, armed with only, of all things, a yo-yo! Now that's something you don't see every day!
The graphics are simple but effective, as are sounds. Controls are a bit on the sticky side-the buttons are not as responsive as they should be, frustrating when you're trying to rapid-fire attack. There are also significant issues with turbo controllers, which won't work if you turn the speed up too high. Also you can only move in 4 directions-no diagonal movements...
