Gargoyle's Quest II: The Demon Darkness (Nintendo Entertainment System, 1992)

One of the more expensive NES games

From what I understand, Gargoyle's Quest 2 is one of the later NES games that was released after the SNES had launched into the market. As such, this game went under my radar back then since I was eager to jump into the 16 bit catalogue of games.

If you're familiar with Gargoyle's Quest on the Gameboy then you will know what to expect here. They simplified it slightly but not too much. You no longer have the option to search the ground in the over world map and random encounters have been eliminated. This is a fine change in my opinion as the only reason to fight enemies outside stages is to collect viles to purchase 1ups. You can still do that but it's now in your control by talking to a visible enemy as you travel.

It's a little bit harder than the previous title but like the previous game it's still a somewhat short adventure. Still, for me this was a must have. I love the Ghosts n Goblins games and Capcom's take on a Demon World is fairly comical. It reminds me of the Addam's Family where what is deemed acceptable is kind of malicious, like strapping your sibling in an electric chair for fun or playing catch with knives instead of a baseball. Nobody ever really dies or anything, it's just some dark humor.

I've watched this game go up in price slightly over the years so I finally told myself it's either now or never. You can buy a reproduction of this title from China for $20 if you absolutely need this game. I'm not too fancy with things like that, not too sure how viable those are in the long run, and to be fair I imagine this will be the only time I ever pay $100 for an NES game.

Great game, great series really and I have my doubts we will ever see a new one. These are the type of games that have kind of been left behind in the current video game industry with only indie developers making similar things. But you never know, Capcom did make a new Ghosts n Goblins after over a decade so I suppose anything is possible. They really are one of the best studios in the videogame industry and it's always shown throughout the generations.Read full review

Another gem from Capcom

Capcom strikes again with a gem on the NES. The game follows Firebrand, a Red Arremer from Ghost and Goblins as he goes through the world of demons. The gameplay is pretty fun and the game is challenging. The price is a little steep but it’s not as bad as other games. A great addition to your NES collection if you can find one that’s not too expensiveRead full review

This game is fun as heck, no other way to say it. Its definitely a hidden gem on the NES as well. Price can run high but that's because its rare.
