Golgo 13!

Golgo 13 for the NES. I think I rented it back in the day. It was intense for my 10 year old brain to try to handle some of the mature themes that were going on in there. There's an implied sex scene and a sniping sequence that had actual blood. Oh my!

ONLY YOU CAN HELP HIM SAVE THE WORLD!

I don't know if anyone else actually played this game, but the thing that sticks out in my mind is the terrible control scheme. Conventions had already been developed at the time of its release and yet the developers, in their infinite wisdom, decided to map Jump onto the B button. There are only two effing buttons on the NES controller. Two. Every game in existence puts jump onto A. Mario jumps with A. Why can't Duke Togo jump with A? I guess he's too busy smoking and getting laid to be bothered with controller mapping conventions.

Anyway... let Golgo 13 be a lesson to all of us. If you're making an FPS right now please don't try to get cute and put Fire on the Left Trigger. :D
