I'm trying to think of some obscure SNES games I liked...so far I only remember NES ones.

Oh, here we go! Maybe not really obscure, but it doesn't get talked about much anymore:

So addicting.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Hmm may have to look into it. Idk though with all the newer games releasing right now.

I may download the rom for my emulator and see if it works with a mouse, if so that could be another option.

I've got my SNES and NES, still, but most of the time it's easier to play with the emulators

Hehe, If anything I'd say it was more like Mario Kart with the bombs and missiles.

How could I forget this one! Tetris was my Game Boy crack, but this filled that role on the NES:

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

I wouldn't mind owning that again too. I love the music maker and that fly swatting game.

Nintendo Power put out a guide a little after the game came out where you could make some pretty cool animations. I never got around to buying it, but wish I would have.

I just got into Dragon Warrior for the first time this weekend. My friend used to play it but that was before i knew how awesome RPGs are. So far I'm loving it.

For those of you that still have your NES if your games blink there's a reason for it.

The pin connectors are defective. You can get gold pin connectors online and cartridge cleaners so you will never have the blinking problem again. Apparently if you buy a connector and don't clean the games it breaks the connector.

I fixed my connector and cleaned all my games and my NES works just like it did out of box 23 years ago.

Also, if you don't want to buy a 72 pin connector, you can open your system and use Brasso and a toothbrush and clean them and bend them back into place. There's tutorials on YT for it. I've done this once and it worked fine, took me about 2 hours.

Also, most problems can be solved by cleaning the cartridge. I use rubbing alcohol and q-tips.

But if you just clean the cartridge the second you put it to the old connector it basically cancels out the cleaning. The gold 72 pin connector comes from a Nintendo repair retailer and they're pretty cheap so if you're a collector it's the best way to go.

I used to do the alcohol cleaning too, it doesn't always work. The way the retailer cleans the disk is unscrewing them and using this green liquid cleaner and getting all around inside the cartridge, there's YT videos for it too.

One of my favorites. I got it free when I was a kid with Nintendo Power. I rebought the CIB version. Love it.

Also - for those talking about cleaning - erasers work great, too. I unscrew my games and erase the crap out of the pins. It does a really good job.

When I packed away all my old systems/games a few weeks ago I found I still had the cartidge and system cleaner. I really would love to play these again but it will have to wait until I retire etc...
Only things left (I need another lockable tote) are my Gamecube system and games and my Dreamcast. they are packed awaint trip to attic.

1 more thing.. does anyone else have no desire to keep the 360 or even PS3 long term? For me I just don't have that desire. I could never part with the NES/SNES/Intellivision or Dreamcast stuff.. Maybe it's just they have my "Fond" memories for me. I don't know.

I may, but I'd really only be keeping the systems for 1-2 games each; NBA 2K11 on the 360 (I have 20 years' worth of classic rosters downloaded) and MLB 10-11 The Show (again, a bunch of classic roster files).

I still have a PS2 and have been trying to buy up a bunch of games for that system, as it looks like GameStop will stop selling them fairly soon.

Great question. I've thought about the PS3/360 thing before. As of now I doubt I will, as I typically have more fun playing NES, SNES, PS1, DC, etc. then I do with this generation. However, once it's gone for 5 to 10 years, that nostalgia may start kicking in lol.

Actually, I could sell all my 360 stuff today and have little regret, but when my mom gave my old stuff away years ago, I've regretted every day since.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Been playing this for about 30 minutes. It was one of my favorite games, as a kid...
