Mario paint w/mouse and pad
Super Star Wars, Return of Jedi and mire Strikes Back
All the metroids and zeldas
Metal Gear Solid
Some track and field game (Not track and field though)
Duck hunt w gun
Ghost and Goblins
SM Allstars
I think that's it besides some cleaning catridges etc..

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

I've got mine set up, since I got moved, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Bought Ninja Gaiden the other day and it brings back some memories. As I kid, I couldn't even beat the first boss - as an adult, playing it again for the first time in around 2 decades, it took me quite a few tries. Got to stage 3, but got my butt handed to me before having to give up and go to bed

Just so you know, if you just duck and hit the bosses they are extremlely quick and easy to beat. Or if you get the power up where you jump and hit with your sword, they can be taken down in one hit. I'm stuck on 6-2 on the game the last few months lol.

I've been thinking of making a thread like this for a while now, as I have finally found all of my old consoles and dug them out of my parents storage unit. Now on my living room TV I have connected...
NES
N64
Gamecube
Genesis
Dreamcast
Ps1, PS2
Xbox360

Since I eventually ran out of outlets and AV connections, so the SNES is in the bedroom. Over the last year or so I think the new-ness of this generation of consoles has worn off and I find myself playing old systems more than my 360. I have way more games for any of those systems then I do for xbox anyways.

"Now let me tell you something!" Man i miss that show

Anyways Bill, I have a nice surge protector and AV splitter for all my systems, and I always have the surge switch off when I'm not gaming. Don't worry, Wanda helped me out.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Loved Mario RPG. Easy yet addictive RPG. Only have it on ZSNES right now, but I need to play that again.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Haven't played NES in years. My favorite games were Super Mario Brothers 3 and Tecmo Bowl. I believe it is currently at my sisters house, though I don't know if they (sister, brother-in-law, nephew) still play it.

One time when some of my relatives were visiting from NC my mom had pulled out the NES so my cousin, who couln't have been older than 4 or 5 at the time, could play. I remember he surprised everyone when he started playing Super Mario Brothers and was doing really well at it.

I also remember a somewhat crude football game where the field went left to right and the players were large and blocky with a purple team and a yellow team. I used to imagine it was the Packers (more yellow than Steelers) vs. Vikings when playing it. I still remember one time when I was in 6th grade and was playing my cousin (not the same one as in the above paragraph) at that game. I was winning and my cousin was trying to mount one last drive to beat me when my dad brought our puppy upstairs to give in a bath in the tub. While he was getting ready in the bathroom, Thor (the puppy) came into the room where my cousin and I were playing and proceded to start licking my cousins controller preventing him from getting a last play off and helping me win the game.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Started a new Baseball Stars season as well...still my favorite baseball of all time, any system.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Baseball Stars and RBI Baseball 2 are my two favorite NES baseball games, but I guess the rest of the competition is pretty far behind so it's not saying much lol.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Played some Ghosts n Goblins today. Damn you guys were right, that game was difficult. Forgot over the years.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Wasn't sure where to put this - here or consoles, but it's game related, so I figured here. I did a search and found nothing, but surely I can't be the only one here to still plays the good old NES/SNES.

I've got mine set up, since I got moved, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Bought Ninja Gaiden the other day and it brings back some memories. As I kid, I couldn't even beat the first boss - as an adult, playing it again for the first time in around 2 decades, it took me quite a few tries. Got to stage 3, but got my butt handed to me before having to give up and go to bed.

I forgot how hard some of these games where - Castlevania, Zelda, Ninja Gaiden, Robo Warrior, TMNT - they didn't mess around with these games back then; no wonder Nintendo Power was a necessity in any household with an NES.

Anyway - why not some classic console talk? I'm sure we've got some guys here to still play these. Genesis is welcome too - although, I never really played it.

I can't believe that we had the patience to conquer the difficulty in those NES games. I remember playing the same 5 minute sequence for hours on end, failing, and then doing it again the next day lol.

There's a bunch of NES games that are ridiculously difficult...many I still haven't beat to this day, it's why I love to play them.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

My friend and I always played River City Ransom, I still haven't had more fun in a two player game

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

I still play Tecmo Super Bowl. I'm currently trying to take New England to the Super Bowl.

I'll play some Bass Loaded from time to time; Paste and Bay, ftw!

Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy gave me fits, but I love those games. Funny that after the SNES, I stopped playing both series, aside from the portable options.
