#2 (The Dark Sword of Chaos) for sure. Challenging but not as insanely hard as the first game. Still had super slick controls, cutscenes and unforgettable music.

Another vote for 2.

i will play 2, after all these years. 1 is really pretty easy until the end. :/

Sigma is probably the hardest game I've ever beaten. Most of the game I was pretty sure I wasn't going to be able to do it. Still kind of surprised I managed it. Some of those boss fights :(
It's just an exhausting game (took like 22 hours too)

The original arcade game was the best of them all. It always had the longest line to play at the bowling alley.

Well, at least we all agreed NG3 was terrible.

There was a cheat thing you could do with NG2 to access the music page - I did this, plugged it into my tapedeck, taped that shit, and rode around on my bike listening to it like I was a total fucking badass.

I used to tape game music all the time back in the day. One of the best and most unheralded game scores was for this game Solstice on the NES. I taped that through my stereo and for a few weeks made my mom listen to it whenever we were in the car.

If I had seen this thread a few weeks ago, I would have bumped the original into a tie with the others, and then I would have posted this picture:

Pretty cool that the Blasphemous people are making a new 2-D Ninja Gaiden game, it looks very Blasphemous-y too. I just hope the music all guitar-heavy video game metal (really any retro game that's already trading on nostalgia should have a setting to switch it to chiptune).
