Old-School Nintendo Fans

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

I didn't see this topic floating around, so I thought I'd cut loose. Am I the only one who still cherishes the old-school gaming systems around here?

Not that I'm knocking all the brand-new-fancy-pants-stuff; just curious, is all.

I still play (when I have time) the old consoles like Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Game Boy. My Game Boy is still in the same great condition today as it was when I got it for a birthday present over 10 years ago.

What are your favorite games from these consoles? I love anything to do with Super Mario (especially Super Mario 3 for NES and Super Mario 1 for SNES). Ninja Turtles 2 and 3 for NES are classics. Bill Elliott's Nascar Challenge, Roger Clemens MVP Baseball, Battleship, Mario Brothers 1, and (believe it or not) Little Mermaid are all fun games on NES. Turtles in Time, Mario Kart, and some other games I can't think of at the moment are all fun games on SNES.

As for Game Boy, here too the Ninja Turtles games are quite good. I also liked Monopoly, Wheel of Fortune, Jurassic Park, Tetris, Bases Loaded, etc.

Thoughts?

Pin Bot, damn, I love that game. I used to have it, I need to buy me another copy of it.

[Reznorite420]

Why buy when you can download? ;)

Heh, I know, most links to ROMs are dead links anyway made by bandwidth-stealing lamers back in the late 90s...

Oh yeah, forgot to add Star Wars to my list.

[Nturtle]

Those were the days!! I haven't played a game made after 1999 actually, but I hope to play the new TMNT game sometime.

I love the old school consoles! I still have my NES and SNES, and I still play all of my games. For the NES, my particular favorites are: Metroid, SMB 2, Megaman 2, Legend of Zelda, Double Dragon 2, TMNT II, and more that I'm probably forgetting. Seems like I enjoy sequels a lot. :embarass:

For my SNES, I enjoy playing FF6/3, Chrono Trigger, SM World, Mario Kart, TMNT IV, Secret of Mana, Street Fighter II, etc.

Good times, good times.

[jeff the cheff]

NES and SNES and genises are like, the only systems I play. I got my NES for my fifth birthday, and ever since then I've been playing video games...my fav game is SMB 3, but I have tons of other games that I play, and I still go and buy used copies of old games all the time.

[Karpo_007]

SNES is the best console ever made. If you like Platformers and Console RPGs that is.

Favorite games:

Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Super Mario World
Super MArio World 2: Yoshi's Island
Mario Kart
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

[Nturtle]

Street Fighter II


Street Fighter!! I knew I was forgeting something!!

[Kid Icarus]

Street Fighter used to be awesome, till they tried to make it a Tekken style game. Glad Capcom went back to 2D fighters.

[jeff the cheff]

Oh...anyone who thinks about selling their nintendo games to stores or whatever....shouldn't. It's definatly not worth it to sell a few games for some spare change.

[OA]

I still love to play Double Dragon....and Contra of course...

[Cascadia]

i sold both of my NES systems, 2 gameboys, and a super nintendo system plus games for about $150.

[Relay]

My old NES stopped working years ago, so we took it and all our games to the dump. I am still kicking myself for that one! I'm actually thinking about buying a used one off eBay or somewhere and getting all the games I used to play.

-Any Super Mario Brothers
-Any TMNT
-Legend of Zelda
-Any Mega Man
-Top Gun
-Excitebike

I used to have a bunch of old NES games that were real generic. I didn't have WWF Wrestling, I just had Wrestling. I had the Legend of Kage, which was a real fun samurai game. Spy Hunter was fun, but it got old because it was the same thing over and over again. Man, I still wish I had all my old games.

*kicks himself again for throwing them all away*

[Cascadia]

my favorite game was Tetris.....I can get to level 18

Yeah, I once got about that high. It was one of those nights when I was just in the zone and could do no wrong.

I haven't been as successful since. :(

Does anybody remember the Alien game for NES? That game was impossible for me to beat! There was one level (I forget which one since it's been a decade since I last played it) where you only have a certain amount of time to find or do something. If the time elapses, a baby Alien is birthed from your chest. It was a level where you had to go up and down a lot of stairs and passageways.

I played that level umpteen times and never did figure out how to get past it. :roll:

[Voltron]

No one here plays Mega Man?

[Relay]

I listed Mega Man as one of my favorites. I used to like the different bad guys they'd come up with. Cutman....Starman....They would just pick a noun and put "man" at the end of it. Brilliant!

[Anarchistguy]

I posted I played Mega Man 1 to 6. I should also state my favorite SNES games.

Here they are:
-Every Super Mario title except Paint and RPG
-Super Metroid
-TMNT 4 : Turtles In Time
-Mega Man 7
-Mega Man X 1 to 3
-Top Gear 1 & 2
-F-Zero
-StarFox
-Chrono Trigger
-Dragon Ball Z : Hyper Dimension (Imported game)
-Earthworm Jim (Though I like the Sega Genesis version better)

[DarthRaphael]

Nintendo has a listing of every game released for all of the older systems in adobe acrobat format.

Reading it is like a trip down memory lane!!

-Top GunAnd I thought I was a freak...:D

I listed Megaman 2, since that's the one I played the most. I've played all the other MM games on the NES, and I enoyed them all. The different Robot Masters is also a reason why I love the series so much. Cool names, powers, and character designs... And the fact that the Blue Bomber got to inherit his defeated foe's weapons just added to the gameplay.

I think my favorite NES Robot Master has to be Metal Man from MM2. His weapon ruled all. :D
