Where I heard this was LordKat from the Until We Win series and who is also a friend of Spoony on one of his webcasts with Skitch and I’m pretty sure he knows video games and the industry.

I played this game until I could beat it without using continues. I spent easily three years of my life playing this game since my parents wouldn’t get me any other game. All I owned was this game. Goddamn, I hate and love this game.

When I bought my NES way back when, I had a choice between Bayou Billy and Mega Man 2 to go with it. For some insane reason I chose Bayou Billy. It’s one of those games you want to beat not because it’s good, but because of spite towards the designers.

I think I got to the second driving stage and then never touched it again.

Stage 8. There’s a novel concept… Bullet-proof vests actually STOPPING BULLETS? Who knew? :D

And as mentioned by half a dozen people, Mad City — the Japanese version — was NOWHERE near this hard. Basic changes made include giving the badguys about 200% more health and probably addin’ more obstacles to the driving sections. The railgun sections didn’t see that different. o.o

I’d like to see a list of specific games where you feel this to be true. As far as I’m aware NES rental was incredibly uncommon and rentals didn’t really take off until at least the the SNES era if not later. From my personal research almost all games available in both territories have a harder difficulty setting available or are harder by default in asian territories simply due to them being better at whatever the current games are. And before I start any kind of race debate I think this is purely due to them getting technology earlier and therefore sitting ahead of the curve whenever it comes to a gameplay feature/genre.

Actually Jester a good portion of NES games from Japan were made more difficult here. The idea it’s been said was to make the game too difficult to beat during a rental, forcing you to consider buying the game.

This game is one of the few instances where they made a game HARDER for release outside of japan.

Not that it matters cause the game sucks so bad, but I think you’re supposed to knock the bullet proof shirts off the second row of baddies and then shoot them. Crappy game design either way.

“The day I completed this game was also the same day princess Diana died. I’d like to mention that I did it fairly. ”

Did what fairly, killed Diana?
