Favorite 8-Bit NES Game
Edited on Sun May-02-04 10:36 PM by WillyBrandt
Posted this thread once, long ago.

What's your favorite NES game (not SNES, Gameboy, etc.)? Apart from Mario/Zelda?

Me: Bionic Commando. Best. Game. Ever.

Runner up: Castlevania 2.

Favorite Crappy Game that I particularly like: Nobunaga's Ambition.

ON EDIT: Stupidest Nintendo Trade I've ever made: I gave up Double Dragon for Elevator Action! Ugh.

12. you can get t-shirts that have that on the back
and on the front they have a little guy symbol with a "x30" net to it. I guess they use that in a bunch of games. My buddy can beat it without the code too, if you keep playing after you beat it it's a little harder everytime.

17. I spent an ENTIRE SUMMER playing Contra
Edited on Sun May-02-04 11:07 PM by WillyBrandt
And the following playing Super C--and by entire summers, I mean every fucking day w/ my friend playing contra/super C.

Super C has FAR better controls than the original Contra. The laser was worthless in both versions of course.

3. Hell yeah
Bionic Commando. Especially after you get to toast Hitler's ass at the end in the helicopter.
Next favs were Golgo 13 and the Castlevania series.

5. Votes are in
My favorites are "Pirates" and "Silent Service" (I know they're ports of old computer games, but they were great).

I thought my son's was "Ice Climbers" but he is telling me that it is "Mappyland".

I just got a 8-Bit Top-loader last year and I'm just now starting to rebuild my collection for this machine.

I'm looking forward to what other folks contribute.

18. Huh?
Wha? No one even mentions the great "Pro Wrestling"? So simplistic, yet that's what made it great.
