Oh, and Castlevania 3

When I first started playing this game I had a snowday. I took it as a sign and played non-stop.

That's it, I'm busting out the NES tonight.

A few of my favorites:







Probably my favorite:




I loved TMNT but it was impossible.

 

[LindenCy]

They've been mentioned, but Zelda 2, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Double Dragon, Contra.

I liked TMNT in the arcade, which is that later version mentioned earlier.

The multiplayer turtle arcade game is AWESOME. We've gone to the nickel arcade a few times just to play that, and it's always busy.

Did anyone else play arch-rivals? Probably the funniest basketball game in history. A button was shoot and b button was punch.

What was that football game like that? Might have been on Sega

Yeah that game kept me occupied many weekends. I always got frustrated when the game wanted me to use the controller instead of the zapper for those jungle shooting levels. Never could figure out the physics in launching boulders from a jeep to take down helicopters, either, haha.

Metroid. I lol'd at the reference to it in Jarhead.

 

[Farnsworth]

Adventure Island! Forgot about that one, great game!

I beg to differ that game was good. The driving sections were awful. The shooting sections were also terrible. The stupid effing alligators in the normal mode ****** me off.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Was Paperboy Nintendo? I get forgetful I old age. All my others in TMNT, Mario 1 and 3, Tecmo Bowl, etc have already been listed.

 

[CyOps]

What was the one with the guy that could extend some kind of grapple arm and swing from things and he was fighting some kind of Nazis?

 

[jbindm]

Anyone remember Hoops?

Hell yeah! Paperboy was an improbably fun game to play.

 

[Farnsworth]

I remember playing Excite Bike at Pizza Hut while we waited for my Book It pizza.

 

[enisthemenace]

Holy cow, what a tough question. Sooo many to choose from. Legend of Zelda is an all-timer. When I don't have anything else to do late at night, I put that baby in and see how quickly I can beat it from start to finish. If I die, I'll start over.

I really liked Golgo 13 as a kid. Felt it was very underrated (if it even held a rating).

Rush 'N' Attack
Ikari Warriors
Tiger Heli

 

[enisthemenace]

I spent far too many hours playing Dragon Warrior. Few things to this day make me more angry than playing for half a day to get enough gold to purchase some shield or sword, and then having the game freeze before I was able to save.

Great game.
