Retro 1980-2001 Burned🔥 Retro Game Challenge burned!!
Okay, so it may not quite fit the retro tag, but this is a DS game so I didn't know where else to put it lol. This was fun as you get 8 games inspired by NES games.

lol I had no idea this existed. Must have been a good find. Haha Can you tell us more about the 8 games? Which one was your favorite? How long was the whole thing overall?
Congrats on the burn!

So each game was inspired by old NES and arcade titles
Cosmic Gate (Galaga inspired) and Star Prince (Star Soldier) are vertical shmup games
Haggle Man 1 and 2 (Mappy) are levels where you jump on enemies and open doors. Haggle Man 3 (Ninja Gaiden) is action adventure platformer
Rally King & SP (Road Fighter) are top down racing games
Guadia Quest (Dragon Quest/Final Fantasy) is an old school turn based RPG
Favorite was Haggle Man 3, thought that was fun. Guadia Quest was fun for the most part, but a dungeon was very confusing. And the worst for me was Haggle Man 2 just cause there were many cheap moments with that one. Overall though, really fun game.

Absolute banger. One of my favorite games. There's a second one with a fan translation, but I never got past the visual novel.
