Remember those games you played as a kid, teenager, college student, socially challenged adult? The ones that were just plain fun, would addict you for hours and be the sole reason you only got 3 hours sleep in a 5 day period. Remember the joy you felt when you stomped that last Bowser and you FINALLY rescued the princess, and not some damn mushroom. Thats right loser, now I'm starting a list of those that have most affected my life and conjure up fond memories of sleepless nights, a strictly potato chip diet, and beating the floor/controller until my hand bleeds. And I KNOW that damn computer CHEATS.
Ok I'm not an NES veteran, and this list is off the top of my head. Feel free to add to the list. They are in no particular order.
NINTENDO ONLY
1. Super Mario bros.
2. Any and all Zelda games
3. Any and all Metriod Games
4. F-zero (super and gamecube versions)
5. Final Fantasy I, II, III
6. Super Mario Kart
7. Mike Tyson's Punch out
8. Duck Hunt (I always put the gun right up on the screen)
9. Super Mario 2 and 3
10. Super Mario World
11. Chrono Trigger
12. Killer Instinct
13. Street Fighter 2
14. Mega Man 1 thru bazillion (7 on the NES 3 for the super right?)
15. Super Mario RPG

One of my good buddy's just built a MAME (arcade emulator) I introduced him to all the classics of my childhood. Xevious, Popeye, Burger Time, Galaga. Hours of fun. Those games were better because they are replayable. Who's likely to break out GT4 or GTA3 and replay them over and over?

That's what I meant...he built a pc into a cabinet he bought and fixed up.

Currently i have 2 working guns and 3 working NES systems because way back in the day i had one NES that stopped working, so i was sent a new one for free and never had to send in teh broken one. Then my uncle fixed the broken one so i had 2. Then a while after that my buddy got a sega genesis so he sold me his nes, gun and games for about 20 bucks. I also have 2 n64s for some reason.Dere33 wrote:Now that you mentino DuckHunt! - God I wish I could find a working Nintendo/NGun.... that game was the shit.
