Best NES game?

[Brad.loo]

Post your fav NES game(s) and tell us why you like it. Lets not end up with a ton of mario/zelda posts (although I forsee this thread going that way! ;) )


Mike Tyson's Punch Out

14528

This game never gets old, and even an old vet will tell you it is almost impossible to beat Tyson. I still play this game, sometimes every day. Give me this over Fight Night 2004 any time

Ivan Ironman Stewart's Super Offroad

14526


I don't know how popular this game way, or how many people acully liked it but it is a great game imho. This idea is simple, race your offroad truck with 3 others, goal is to finish as high as you can so you can win money to upgrade your truck. This game support 4 player mode and makes a great party game.

Tecmo Bowl

14527

It took a japanese developers to make american football play great on the NES. All other NES football games are trash compared to this one. They made a second "Super Tecmo Bowl" but I like this one better.

Rad Racer

14525
(picture of me kicking ass in rad racer)

I can't say enough good things about this game! Basicly your goal is to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible while avoiding traffic and things that litter the side of the highway. This game will piss you off until you get the hang of it, expect to run the later tracks a few times before you beat them.

Also, if you got a pair of 3D glasses around you can use them with this game by pressing the select button and putting the game into '3D mode'. Never tried it so I don't know how well it works.

Mario Kart is an SNES game, not an NES game. :p

[Brad.loo]

Thought I'd add a few more of my fav's.

Excitebike
14529

Mega Man
14531

Castlevania
14530

More to come! :)

[Jake Bunce]

Blaster Master

14532

The super hard game that no one has heard of, and very few have beat. It takes an entire day to play it straight through to the end. There are no saved games or codes to index into a previous state... you must play it all the way through in one sitting. Once you turn off the console, your game is gone and you have to start over.

I made it to the last world on the console, but could not make it to the last boss. The only way I was able to beat it was on an emulator using saved states.

[Brad.loo]

I forgot about that one Jake! I got the cart somewhere, gatta dig it up now :(

[PimpJ]

nba live 98, or nba jam, or nba showtime, or killer instint or mario bros

Thats the 16-bit era ;).

When I say NES I mean the Nintendo Entertainment System (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System)

[DirectPixel]

Super Mario Bros. (1, 2, and 3, but especially 3)
Kirby's Adventures

Both had graphics way beyond their time. Even today, they look awesome. Can't say that for Donkey Kong. :p

[David Gonzalez]

zelda NES was confusing as hell >_<, i'm sure you get lost like 400 times

i have zelda nes , and punch out lol and some more nes games in a box >_<

[0ptima]

Double Dragon 1 is still one of my favourites as it was one of the first games I ever played in an Arcade. Blades of Steal was also awesome as I loved getting into a fight with an opponent, kicking there ass and then going on a power play. It also had cool voice overs. Rad Racer was fun and I liked the music in it.

[AlienSector]

Double Dragon, Punch Out and Karate Kid :) - Still have them all somewhere, just need to find the box where I placed those antiques ;) (now let me find the atari).

[Brad.loo]

Blades of steel is great!

I have played it all the way through, it only takes me maybe a couple hours now. End boss is actually easy. I love the game.

Ah well, I was always a master-system man ;)

Did you encounter problems with "WALL 1" and "WALL 2" in world 8? I found it extremely difficult to avoid the various pits of spikes without my wall-walk kicking in and bringing me down into them.

You need to use hover as well if you want to stay out of the spikes. Its a pain in the ass.

[Reeve of Shinra]

Some of my other fav's were taken so...

[RagingPenguin]

We're talking about ancient NES? Duck Tales get's my vote. Simple, but very fun to play.

[Jake Bunce]

Yeah... even for the ones you should be able to jump over if it wasn't for wall-walk interfering.

[Reeve of Shinra]

I remember Duck Tales, it was a fun game.

[Ksilebo]

Are you a bad enough dude to save the president?

That game was fun. I should play it again soon.

[Neocorteqz]

Blades of steel is great!
Highly agree.

I also loved
Mike Tyson's Punchout
Super mario Bros 1,2,3 (3 is my fav)
Castlevania (the whole series)

Seicross

and finally
Contra. :D

[free thinker]

Besides Super Mario I and Zelda I, or course, one of my personal favorites was Ninja Gaiden!

Very challenging gameplay and good storyline...

[Lumina]

Zelda for me. :)

Original Mario, I grabbed a NES off ebay last month with the game, just to play it again.
