What We Miss About Konami

[Kugyince]

New poll series revolving 8-bit game companies and their old franchises.

[DrunkN]

Good(ball busting hard) Castlevania games for one thing.

[Tails]

Bucky O'hare

[Slime Slayer]

jackle, rush n attack and stinger.

@tails, was that a joke?

[CatalystiCam]

why? That game rules!

Bucky 'O' Hare & Quarth

[Tails]

No, I like it, especially the coin op.

[Slime Slayer]

The game might have been good, but the game was based on a franchise thats been dead for years and years.

[TrakMastaTom]

I miss good Silent Hill games. I had been told Shattered Memories was good, but after playing it through I thought it was very OK.

Come on, Konami. You can do it!

[CatalystiCam]

I've never seen the show steven. Didn't even know it was a show until a few years ago.

[Tails]

I wanna see the show.

[jim5cents]

looking at that list, i think the only title that could be cool if remade is bayou billy

[david man45]

QuarthNo.

My vote is to Top Gun.

[sabby]

Of the choices above I'm going to have to pull a Monty Brewster and vote "None of the Above". The only ones I have enjoyed were Blades of Steel and Double Dribble but they do not warrant being remade.

[david man45]

I was thinking the same but top gun was the one I enjoyed the most.

[lestat7902]

Wasn't Contra a Konami thing too?

[samejamesbond]

Where's Contra? Those games rocked.

[Slime Slayer]

Contra has been coming out consistently since its beginning.

[Winnebagel]

Out of the choices, I woudl pick Rush 'n' Attack. Second to that would be Bayou Billy. That could actually make a nice new Sandbox style game set in the outback.

Second to that would be Bayou Billy. That could actually make a nice new Sandbox style game set in the outback.

thats what i'm talking about...i'm not sure if i would want the style to switch between fighting, shooting, and driving. fighting alligators rules.

[marxxx]

Rush'n Attack was awesome

[Winnebagel]

Rush'n Attack was awesome

I agree. It was a fun one. I used to drop a lot of coins in both the arcade version and play the NES one alot too.

[warghoul]

I have to go with only because it was the first game I ever beat:clap:

[elrod21]

Rush'n Attack aka Green Beret did have a sequel called Missing in Action which actually had a level where after rescuing the POW's you have to protect them during your escape. It was a very frustrating level.

For my money though, Jackal aka Top Gunner needed a sequel. I loved that game.

[kiwinavega]

I really loved their early athletics coin-ops like Track and Field. I remember when I was about five, I used to play Track and Field in the arcade on the pier when I was on holiday and feeding 10p coins into the machine. I could barely reach the buttons but I used to hammer away mercilessly as though my little life depended on it! I remember being so proud when I finally beat the javelin for the first time. I rushed off to tell my mum and forgot to play the next event.

Well, I had been trying for my whole holiday!

Great days :)

Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-A-B-Start-Select

Yes it is still implemented, but nothing like the thirty lives in Contra.

Anymore it is just an Easter-egg you get for doing things like interrogating EVA in MGS3, it even has no effect there.

I also miss the difficult Castlevania games.

[barnawesome]

I loved Rush'n'attack for two things, For 1 it had awesome gameplay and 2 the name is epic.

[irishman420]

The Adventures of Bayou Billy was the best , and all the konami games were wicked hard which made them a challenge , as a sandbox game that would definately be great , kinda like red dead , but in the late 70's ,Plus the funky music of bayou billy was great . like waylon jennings meets parliment funkadelic , great game !!
