The Endings to the 15 Toughest NES Games of All Time
Yesterday, I ran down what I thought were the 15 toughest NES games of time. Although I had beaten several of them, there were many of which the endings were a mystery to me. Were they worth all the time, effort, and frustration? Were the endings glorious payoffs, affirming that my energy and focus were well spent? Or were they similar to Rygar’s ending, a brief graphic and some ridiculous text, as if Tecmo itself were giving me the middle finger?
I decided to find the endings to the 15 toughest NES games of all time, and you can see them after the jump. Judge for yourselves if the ending was worth the difficulty.
