    Default Battle of Olympus and Faxanadu

    These 2 titles worth checking out?

    Battle of Olympus is one of my favorite NES games ever. If you liked Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and like Greek Mythology, this is a great adventure title that you shouldn't miss. Also, it can get pretty frustrating at times, but is worth the time spent.

    You bet your ass they are. For Faxanadu, make sure you're playing in an emulator with save states, though. The font used for the password system is ugly as hell and it's easy to write it down wrong, losing all of your progress

    Playing them both on NesterDC. Screw password systems.

    Yes! Play those suckers till yer stupid! Easily some of the best NES action you can find. I played those games through multiple times back in the day, and loved every minute of it.

    I'm quite enjoying Olympus right now actually. Already have the staff, need to go and get fire for it. Kinda easy to get lost sometimes though, but I do enjoy the mix of Zelda II with Greek mythology. Lamia was tough.

    Beat Faxanadu tonight. Final boss was easier then fighting the other boss for the Dragon Slayer sword! Nice ending too, one the better NES game endings I've seen in some time.
