Blaster Master (NES): Old Classic Video Game

Blaster Master on Old Classic Video Games

1. Introduction

Blaster Master is one of my all time favorite old classic video games. I would recommend this game for its music alone! This game is played in three different "modes." In the first mode you will play controlling your vehicle in a 2-D platforum mode, where you can jump around and shoot enemies. Your vehicle also has 3 special types of weapons of which you pick up ammunition along the way. These special weapons include things like rockets and lightning. Your vehicles main attack will also increase in power as you defeat bosses. The second mode you may play in is when you exit your vehicle. You will then control your character in the same 2-D platforum mode, and you can run or swim around shooting enemies and entering caves and buildings. The third mode is when you enter caves or buildings. This mode is a 2-D overhead view. View the video below to get an idea of the different views. Along the way you will collect objects that give you power or extra weapons. Each area has a lot of unique enemies and of course a final boss room. Kill this boss and recieve a reward, such as a weapons upgrade, and you are also granted access to the next area. This is a classic video game you do NOT want to miss out on!

3. Difficulty

Blaster Master can be difficult at times, but for the most part it is a very playable game that you won't grow tired of very quickly. The bosses are certainly the most difficult parts of the game.

4. Replay Value

Blaster Master is a classic game that has amazing replay value. I consider it one of the best games of my childhood. This is one of those games you will never mind popping in and starting over with.

5. Do I Recommend...?

I very highly recommend that you pick up Blaster Master for the Nintendo (NES)! The music alone is enough to own this game. If, for some reason, you have not come across this game before, you have greatly missed out. Every collection needs a copy of this game.
