#Solstice Developed by #SoftwareCreation Published by #CSGImagesoft Released in #1990 Much like #SolomonsKey my post from yesterday, Solstice is great, it's fun, it's addictive and highly difficult. It's an unforgiving puzzle game and my father loved these types of games. Perhaps he liked getting frustrated or just liked a difficult challenge, I'll never know. The story is five pages long in the NES manual of the game but the gist of the game is that you are a wizard named Shadax and you witnessed the kidnapping of princess Eleanor by Morbius the Malevolent. You then discover by doing research that the staff of Demnos is hidden in Morbius' fortress Kâstleröck where he would least expect it. Every one hundred years on the winter solstice the six hidden invisible pieces of the staff are revealed. You must now collect the pieces and rebuild the staff, defeat Morbius and rescue the princess Eleanor. The gameplay takes some getting used to because of the isometric view. There is a total of 252 rooms with various puzzles to figure out. There are limited lives and continues. The continues act more like check points instead of starting at the room you died in. Once all continues are used it's back to the start of the game. There are no saves or passwords. Definitely in the top twenty hardest games on the NES. My father has beat this game many times, first time he completed it he got a 100% by going in all rooms and getting all items. Then he would try to beat the game with the lowest percentage possible. He was a glutton for making a difficult game more difficult. I did beat this game but I didn't care about my percentage, I'm just happy I beat it. It also is notable for one of the best opening songs on the NES created by #TimFollin Overall I'll rate the game a 7 out of 10. #Nintendo #NES #VideoGames #Games #Gamer #Gaming #GamersLife #Retro #Classic #RetroGames #ClassicGames #90s #Handsome_Rob_7 #TCOAG #Handsome_Rob_7_The_NES_Years https://www.instagram.com/p/BmghLDVlHtR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dtlymt10yr9a

#SolomonsKey Developed by #Temco Published by Temco Released in #1987 Solomon's Key is a yet another chapter in my book. Solomon's Key was probably one of my father's favorite games and one of the few games that I "beat" and he didn't. He came close many times but could never achieve the perfect GDV (Game Deviation Value) of 80. That score is based off various things including, completing rooms in a timely manner, collecting faeries, finding all secret rooms, all secret items and not dying. There are three different endings in the game, all depending on your GDV score. This is by far top ten hardest games on the NES, probably top five to be honest. There's 50 rooms total, including optional yet needed rooms and you only get 3 lives and no continues to complete the game. You could however get additional lives by collecting a certain number of faeries but still, good luck. I watched my father put in endless amount of hours in this game. When I wanted to see if I could get the GDV he never achieved, it took a lot of patience, practice and research. It took me on and off two and a half years to do this and I only did it once and will never, ever try again. It really was one of my most memorable accomplishments on the NES. This is a very special game to me and holds a spot in my heart. Funny thing is my father completed this game several times, so to me he beat it and kept on beating it. The only thing he wanted was his perfect 80 GDV, so I'm happy I earned it for him and for me. Overall I'll rate the game a 7 out of 10, even though its insanely difficult and highly frustrating. #Nintendo #NES #VideoGames #Games #Gamer #Gaming #GamersLife #Retro #Classic #RetroGames #ClassicGames #80s #Handsome_Rob_7 #TCOAG #Handsome_Rob_7_The_NES_Years https://www.instagram.com/p/BmeI0psl21a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=164a5h48q11k9

Fire ‘n Ice was developed and published by Temco it was released in 1993. This game is the prequel to Solomon’s Key, one of my fathers favorite games. Sadly he passed away in 1992 so he obviously never played this game. You play as Dana who just started to learn his powers since he’s a wizard. One day the evil Druidle attacked the iced island called Coolmint, with fierce flames and fire. The fairies were not able to defeat Druidle and ask their queen for help, that’s when Dana arrived to Coolmint to save the island. The goal of each stage is to put out all the fires. The fires are extinguished by either kicking an ice block into the flame, or dropping one from above. Dana's moveset includes the abilities to walk left and right across level ground. He can also climb on top of a solid block to his left or right, provided it is only one block tall and there is nothing on top of it. Though I did enjoy the game it wasn’t on par with Solomon’s Key. I enjoyed the puzzle solving and gameplay in this game. I thought the music and sound effects were good but the graphics could have been better. I rate this game a 6/10 #FirenIce #SolomonsKey #Puzzle #Nintendo #NES #VideoGames #Games #Gamer #Gaming #Retro #Classic #RetroGames #ClassicGames #8Bit #Handsome_Rob_7 #Handsome_Rob_7_The_NES_Years
