NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

I actually just bought a game called Gimmick that never came out for the NES, it just came out in Japan... A site it selling it now, though, for the US NES.

Also, I'm thinking of getting Action 52. It's a terrible, terrible cart - but it's almost worth having in the collection just to say I have it.

What's the most you would pay for Action 52? That'd be sweet, but I couldn't see myself paying more than 50 on it unless I had an almost complete collection, which I don't.

How many games do you have st?

I forgot about World Cup Soccer, made by creators of River City Ransom:

True! Ducktales was definitely one of my favorite games growing up.

I was also a big fan of Super Spike V'Ball!

Man, I almost forgot about Smash TV. "Big Money, Big Prizes".

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

I own three versions of Smash TV:

-- SNES
-- Midway Arcade Treasures (PS2)
-- XBLA

One of my all-time favorites, for sure.

There is a local arcade in Nashville that has Robotron 2084, Smash TV and Total Carnage.

Twin stick shooter heaven!

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Hmm, I see a few of the 4-player NES sports games being mentioned.

This one was my favorite of that group:



Tecmo Super Bowl will certainly live forever as my favorite sports game of that era, but NES Playaction Football is the one that really started to help me learn the sport.

The SNES version took it a step further by including different, customizable league tiers - you could play in the Pros, College, or High School! Spent many hours recreating my high school team in that game.

I loved that camera view. This game really took some strategy, probably moreso than Tecmo Bowl. I really enjoyed it. OK, now time to get on eBay and see if I can find a copy

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

I miss the good days of NES where almost every game was 2 player co-op. Didn't matter if the second player was just the orginal character with a different color outfit on, it was nice to be able to hook up with a friend or family and try to beat a game.....which was usually beatable in one sit-through.

Not sure if these games were mentioned yet but a few classics for NES was "Bad Dudes"(I'm Bad!) and the various Disney themed games like Ducktales and Darkwing Duck. Good times.

I'm made as hell my parents dropped 50 a pop on these games back then when you can fit a dozen or so on a small flash drive.

Ducktales and Darkwing Duck were great games. What was cool about those games was that not only could I play them, but my younger sisters also got into them as well.

Definitely took more strategy than TSB, if for no other reason than you actually had defensive plays to select. It was my first introduction to real football concepts outside of trying to pick them up while watching the TV games.

Also had to monitor your player fatigue and make substitutions, or risk injury.

This game actually predated TSB by a year so maybe it's unfair for me compare it to anything but original Tecmo Bowl, which it stacks up very well against.

Here's some video - I was looking earlier but had to settle for a screenshot:

Nah, that line was definitely a proposal request:

So many quarters spent on that game!

Wish I had the internet back then because I never knew that game was out for consoles!

That was a pretty deep playbook, especially for a game that came out around 1990. You could call stunts for the DL and choose to rush 4 or 5 guys and play either zone or man behind it. Pretty advanced stuff.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Scored today, I found an ad on CL and got 7 NES games for $7, including Strider and Adventure Island. I've never played the original AI, but am assuming it's as or nearly as good as the others in the series.
