my favorite NES game. good thing I have a game genie.. this game is hard. it can't be saved so I have spent long nights of playing to get through it one boss at a time. once you figure a boss and level out then you can fly right through it the next time. some bosses have little spots where they can't hit you. figuring out those little details are key. I like to make it a game on how quick I can run through

With a little tlc the game started working just fine which is what's most important. My only dissipointment is that there is a diagonal patch over the games artwork(unlike in the listing picture) . The end label is ruined because of this. My particular copy was also covered in what I guess was orange attic filth. Some rubbing alcohol and several cotton balls later the game is looking pretty alright.

Blaster Master...ahhh, this game was quite awesome! Well, the game was awesome, the story was pretty lame though. Apparently your're a boy and you have this pet frog see... And he gets into some radioactive material or something and jumps into this giant hole in the ground and you jump in after him. Well once you get down the frog is nowhere to be found, however there is this massive tank with a huge turret on it. Apparently there is a suit and helmet there waiting for you as well for some odd reason. Instead of freaking out and trying to get out of the hole like you'd think, well no, you suit up and get into the tank and start riding around. Yeah, apparently whoever left this massive tank of a killing machine unattended left the keys to the ignition as well. Uh huh. Well you just decide to start killing all the crazy monsters trying to kill you. Yeah, pretty lame, but the game is awesome! You're in the tank that can shoot up and down, and you can hop out of the tank when you need to and shoot things with you gun/blaster (They must have left that in the tank for you too...they, whoever THEY are knew you were coming...or something). Also, this tank has mad hops (must be some super powerful springs or something) allowing you to jump over chasms not unlike a Super Mario platformer. You also enter into caves/buildings, whatever you'd like to call them...indoors, where the view turns to a too down thing...not unlike the original Legend of Zelda perspective. You fight bosses, like the one pictured on the games cover for this persective. Along the way you can receive upgrades for your ultimate killing machine of a tank. I remember playing this game quite a bit when I was a kid. I always got pretty far into it, but I never beat the game. I assume that the final boss would naturally be your pet frog, all radioactive and gigantic (kind of reminds you of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles doesn't it?). Lame side story aside, Sunsoft did a great job with this game. I would recommend this game to anyone. I would say it is more for the hard core gamer though, as it's quite a challenging game and as I remember there is no save feature. This is back in the good old days when you had to beat a game in a single setting. I might be wrong on the save thing but I don't think so. Either way, this game is very much so worth your time if you're a retro gamer like me.Read full review
Blaster Master is one of my favorite NES games, and was way ahead of its time. In Blaster Master you control an armored tank throughout a series of levels. The game is similar to Castlevania II and Metroid in that you can travel back to places that you were previously. In addition to the standard side scrolling action, Blaster Master also features a top-down, Zelda-like mode in which you control Jason instead of the tank. You can have Jason come out of the tank and walk up to doors which will allow you to explore areas that the tank cannot enter. In this mode you use Jason’s gun to kill enemies and eventually the boss. There are some areas you can enter that are riddled with enemies and power-ups however. There are also numerous weapons and upgrades that you can collect for your tank. Blaster Master is a great NES action game. It’s only flaw is the lack of a password or save feature, but other than that, it is an excellent game. Pros: - Great variety of gameplay - Good music - Collect power-ups and secrets Cons: - No password/save featureRead full review
This is yet another NES classic from some of the best days in gaming, sometimes described as "Metroid with a tank." Featuring side scrolling platforming action, combined with top-down shooting and exploring, Blaster Master is quite an adventure. Just prepare to be challenged by this fun, yet difficult game. I remember having much fun with this game as a kid, and was amazed that during the platforming sequences that the character isn't confined to the "Sophia" tank, and can jump out when needed. On top of that, the multitude of powerups, large colorful bosses, and the big "open" world (for its day) made this one I kept going back to and still do now today. Just beware of the lack of a save or password feature. This isn't a terribly short game, but don't worry - I can almost guarantee you'll lose track of time from start to finish with this excellent game.Read full review
