Your Favourite Konami titles / memories

[importaku]

Agreed, they really knew how to make great games on gameboy. The first Goemon on gameboy had an incredible soundtrack, it was my first ever import game i bought and boy it was a good one.

All Goemon games have fantastic sountracks but sarewareta Ebisumaru was always my fave, 24 years old and i still enjoy it as much as ever.


Oh Konami how far you have fallen.

[DeathAdder]

Their Parodius port for the GameBoy was amazing.

[importaku]

Remember picking that up from Virgin megastores and them hammering the hell out of it when i got home, sadly it didn't last long but it has lots of replay value. Was my first parodius game as at that point i had never tried the snes one.

It's one that emulates a bit weird as it uses the flickering transparency effect.

Their Parodius port for the GameBoy was amazing.

All their GB shoot-em-up ports were amazing.

Gradius/Nemesis had the Konami code and secret levels!

Recently playing Gradius V has brought back some lovely Game Boy memories.

Gradius/Nemesis had the Konami code and secret levels!

I still rock the GB Gradius/Nemesis games today.

[PaTaito]

Pfff so many...

Salamander on PCE and realising that arcade perfection was a reality, contra 3 on snes and being utterly addicted to the 2 player mode, symphony of the night on ps1 and being astounded by the quality of the visuals and more so the music, metal gear solid and just thinking "what the actual ****".

My favorite though was the true fear of playing silent hill. It was fresh and original, and struck real fear minus cheesy jump tactics...

[buster_broon]

Aye probably silent hill as well, especially when pyramid head made an appearance and the nurses - bloody creepy

Another fan of the turtles arcade machine "say your pwayers twurtles" and still play it now

Sunset riders was another class arcade machine

Never really got into zone of the Enders at all being honest but metal gear solid was played multiple times with bandana and tuxedo including twin snakes, loved the whole idea of psycho mantis and switching ports to beat him

[speedlolita]

Has to be Metal Gear Solid as the standout title for me.

[Fader209]

A few of the usual suspects for me:
Rocket Knight Adventures, Probotector, Gradius V and of course MGS.

As for something a little different I remembered I has these handheld one-game toys that were made by Konami. Spent many an hour annoying the parents with them on car journeys - TMNT, TMNT2, Star Trek and Bucky O'Hare.

[ShadowDancer]

Kid Dracula on the famicom is lovely. Blades of Steel on The NES at the time was brilliant!

[Nu-Eclipse]

Blades of Steel on The NES at the time was brilliant!

An excellent, excellent shout.

One of my all-time favourite NES games and one of my all-time favourite sports titles on any gaming format.

I liked Ring of Red: awful script, but unusual and good targeting mechanic.

At various points, I owned and/or played: TMNT, TMNT2: Splinter Speaks, Top Gun, Blades of Steel, Bayou Billy, Bucky O'Hare, Double Dribble and Skate Or Die.

Fun to play for the time but never really on the level of Nintendo Game & Watch or the many licensed Tiger LCDs. That said, they're a damn sight cheaper and easier to find nowadays than G&Ws.
