I've met a lot of people (or seen people commenting on the internet) that were pretty surprised that there's a sprint/run option in original SMB because they never used it. I don't know if it's even possible to beat the game without running and doing run jumps, but the idea of not figuring out basic controls on a two-button controller sounds like a peak autism to me. Majority of them were normies and I'd never call them 'gamers', even casuals. What would Shigeru Miyamoto think of this? Is this a testament to an ultimate failure of what he seemed to be intuitive, friendly and easy to learn controls?

Do the levels get longer eventually? They're pathetically short.
Most aren't longer than a minute, many a lot less. There are levels in SMW that are longer than whole worlds here. Heck, even SMB1's levels are longer by far.
The design itself is great though, I really like how distinct the words are so far. I was also surprised to see many things they recycled in SMW later. Back when this was new I didn't own a NES, so I barely saw anything past world 1, unless I got lucky and got a flute. Still, I think SMW is much more fleshed out, this seems more like a prototype in comparison. I'm still enjoying it a lot.

Talk about your favorites. I made this chart with some of the ones I keep seeing as being the best, using the original Japanese titles. They are, in order of release:

Dragon Quest: May 27, 1986
Dragon Quest II: January 26, 1987
Tōjin Makyō Den: Heracles no Eikō: June 12, 1987
Legacy of the Wizard: July 9, 1987
The Magic of Scheherazade: September 3, 1987
Faxanadu: November 16, 1987
Final Fantasy: December 18, 1987
Dragon Quest III: February 10, 1988
Final Fantasy II: December 17, 1988
River City Ransom: April 25, 1989
Destiny of an Emperor: May 19, 1989
Willow: July 18, 1989
Mother: July 27, 1989
Sweet Home: December 15, 1989
Heracles no Eikō II: Titan no Metsubō: December 23, 1989
Dragon Quest IV: February 11, 1990
Crystalis: April 13, 1990
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light: April 20, 1990
Final Fantasy III: April 27, 1990
Tenchi wo Kurau II: April 5, 1991
Lagrange Point: April 26, 1991
Metal Max: May 24, 1991
Radia Senki: Reimeihen: November 15, 1991
Fire Emblem Gaiden: March 14, 1992
Just Breed: December 15, 1992

All of these have either official English releases or fan translations.

Yesterday I downloaded Metal Max and it's a surprisingly pleasant JRPG. Then again, it was released late in the lifespan of the NES.

I enjoyed Niji no Silkroad. It's one of, if not the only, JRPGs based around trading. You go town to town, like in a trading sim, and "buy low, sell high" to make money and use that to buy better armor and weapons and hire companions. Far from the best on the system, but easily one of the most underrated.

Dragon Quest 1 and 2 are just really slow. I wouldn't call them "bad". Fire Emblem Gaiden was also a fine game even if all the other games in the series up through the GBA are all much better.

Heretic did have vertical freelook. Not with the mouse, but there were keyboard binds to look up and down. A lot of the inaccuracies in GZDoom's emulation of Doom actually stem from replicating features of Heretic. Heretic was the game to fix infinite actor height and it also added the "stealth" effect to the blursphere, where enemies won't notice you if you move slowly enough. Why the compatflags for those don't default to off when playing Doom is beyond me.

Because the attacks feel like you're slicing at air. Has no impact. also feels like you're ice skating all over the place. I like tight movement and controls not this loose vagina shit.

Sure. While it's not exactly easy, it's nothing compared to the original Space Hulk.

Both require a lot of learning the maps, anticipating the likely events and also luck.

Never use melee weapons except as last resort. Preferably use the storm bolter for combat and save the other weapons for desperate situations. Always keep everyone's backs covered.

If you're old and decrepit like me, use a third-party program to get auto-fire for your fire button or using the storm bolter will kill your finger.
