I had the NES Advantage, which has the added benefit of being able to control the Statue of Liberty when your'e trying to destroy Vigo the Carpathian...
Ice Hockey. All my brother and I would do was fight and try to get players penalized. The fights were so epic in that game!
Yep, I fire it up from time to time and laugh that i still have the hand eye coordination to do bull **** jumps around the bullets.
Ghosts and Goblins, anyone? Spoiler alert! Sucks that after you finished the whole game it was just a dream and you have to play all the stages again, and now the enemies are more powerful. Finishing that one was great!
On the other end of the spectrum, it seems like almost every NES game based on a movie was terrible. **** Tracy, Bill and Ted, The Rocketeer, Terminator, Indiana Jones, and especially--especially--Total Recall.
Add Back to the Future to that list. If you ever played it and advanced past the food fight in the diner, I salute you. **** that game.
One birthday I got DinoWarz from my mom. I hated that game. After a while it grew on me, but it still wasn't that great.
The Bottom graphic is from Turtles 2 the Arcade game The cartridge above is from the original game. They all are awesome. Many of mine have been said Blades of Steel, Tecmo Super Bowl.
Kids nowadays have it easy with the ability to save games, cheats, and just generally easier games. The old games were all about memorization of patterns, mastering jumps, twitch reflexes, and no save features. If a game had a save feature, it was some overly complicated password that you always had to write down. These games were insanely hard, but I think our generation were gluttons for punishment. Today's youth would have no patience failing over and over again until they could master some of these games.
One good movie game comes to mind: Batman. Try that one out, it was a pretty cool game.
