10 Video Games Where You Can Destroy EVERYTHING

10. Samurai Zombie Nation

This NES game was one of the first games to really let the player cut loose, as it not only lets you blow up half of New York City, it keeps score while you do it.

You play as the "great head of the samurai", Namakubi, who sets out for America when he hears that the legendary blade, Shura, has been stolen by an alien named Darc Seed and his partner-in-crime, The Statue Of Liberty.

Oh, and when I say "great HEAD of the samurai", I don't mean he's the guy in charge. I mean he's the literal head of this dude floating around. And the "great" part comes from the fact that him being a flying head now apparently means he can shoot explosive spit and his eyes are now carpet bombs.

Considering the lacking storage space of the NES, it's astounding how much destruction this game managed to fit onto the cartridge. Every shot that doesn't hit the enemy will blow up a segment of whatever building full of poor innocent people was behind it.

What puts it at the bottom, obviously, is how primitive the destruction effects are nowadays, but this game pioneered the idea of giving a player the ability to lay waste to everything in their path, so I felt it needed to go on here somewhere.
