Four heroes, four friends, coming together to battle in an ancient Greece inspired setting.
There is a story and culture established here that feels like all of the great series in gaming’s history. What also sets Little Samson apart is it that it feels like it could have been a full-blown franchise. the Mouse, a small character who can crawl through secret tunnels and find paths unavailable to the others. Little Samson closes out its roster with K.O. Kikira the Dragon can fly through stages and charge up fireballs, where as Gamm the Golem is a hulking stone character with huge defense and life totals… and a rocket punch. Samson bounces around like a typical 8-bit platforming star, but he climbs walls and even dangles from the ceiling! Few NES games feel as good as when you’re cruising through a stage as Samson. Its soundtrack is out of this world, having tunes that would make even the almighty Capcom jealous, and the sprite animation pushes what was thought possible on the NES.Īnd keep in mind, Samson is not the only character! Little Samson stars four playable characters, each with their own abilities and style of play. Little Samson is a tour de force of power on the NES, tapping into every last corner of the cartridge space for memory to create the ultimate 8-bit action experience. Even the sprite of our hero could be mistaken for Mega Man with a grass elemental power-up. Little Samsom, called Seirei Densetsu Lickle in its home country of Japan, is Taito’s take on the classic Mega Man formula. Without emulation, I’m confident in saying we would not be discussing these games or enjoying them this very day. Keep in mind, without the power of emulation, these games would be stuck behind the wall of copyright law, where they would continue to gather dust and be lost to history for all time. The chances that gamers found these games on American shelves are slim to none with very few cartridges ever being printed.
Today, we’re going to be looking at a few NES games that never got their due back in the day for reasons beyond their control. However, even these games found some audiences way back when. Games like River City Ransom, Bionic Commando, and Crystalis are now considered masterpieces of 8-bit design despite not nearly getting as much attention during their prime. Thanks to the efforts of gamers, countless games have been rediscovered and restored for the modern age, and a whole new era of retro appreciation awaits as these otherwise lost gems.
