Best unbeliavable story to a videogame
I've been playing some old games SNES, and that got me back to Jungle Strike.
it has probably the best plot I've ever seen in a game, something out of a chuck norris/Steven Seagal movie:
The son of "The madman" (the villain of the first game, who was basically, Saddam Hussein), teams up with the biggest drug lord in Latin America, and together, they decide to make a giant terrorist attack on Washington DC and on the president of the United States, fully equiped with tanks, guys in machine guns and VW spacewagons equiped with bazookas!?
what does the government of the U.S. A. do? it's quite easy actually: they send a single Apache to save the city, the president and probably the entire world!
BRILLIANT PLOT!!! (how come they never made a movie out of this games...)
other than that, it's amazzing how the game keeps so adictive after all this years!
can any one remember more games with unbeliavable silly plots?

They all used the same interface (so to speak) but it was all about the storyline and problem solving. One of those things I really do miss from the "infancy" of games. Sierra became crap (imo) when they switched over to point'n'click :-( Even the storylines suffered.
Billy's girlfriend Marion, who was kidnapped in the first one, gets (wait for it...) kidnapped again by the same gang (brought back from the dead) and killed. The Dragon brothers then kill then gang (again) and bring Marion back from the dead (as you do)!? Genius!!
You forgot that one of the Dragon brothers is dead after you killed him at the end of DD1
The games they make nowadays aren't so bad though... Chronicles Of Riddick, Simpsons: Hit & Run, Scarface etc.
Ahh yes, brought back to life, no doubt!! :grin:
If you mean the fight between 2 players at the end then whichever brother didn't die as even though the players fight it doesn't fit into the (ridiculous) story. However if you mean the NES version then Billy actually does kill Jimmy at the end as after you kill Willy it turns out it was Jimmy who was the Shadow Boss all along. I love how the NES and gameboy DD games bare only a slight resemblence to the originals, but actually aren't that bad to play, a lot harder than the games they're based on especially DDII.
...Er! Well actually DDIII as well that was ludicrously hard.
The NES DD games (and several other arcade convos) are almost as bad as the first wave of Megadrive arcade conversions. Which sometimes shared nothing with the original but the main sprite. Some of the were OK, but most of them were cack, need I say Toki on the Megadrive (once again :D).
Oh talking of ridiculous plots, and Megadrive games, how's about Streets of Rage II, "The evil crime boss known as Mr. X has came back to life", er, how exactly?
