zelda ii

Anyone remember a war game where you basically set yourself behind some crates (that the enemy or you could shoot away). You moved from left to right basically and after you defeated a screen, you basically just moved to another screen, but always left to right? I think the game was based on an arcade game.

madcougar, here is some games you NEED

1. Marble Madness
2. Maniac Mansion
3. R.c. Pro-am
4. River City Ransom
5. Goonies 2
6. Friday the 13th
7. Gyruss
8. Arkanoid(with controller)
9. and the best game R.C. Pro-AM II and it is four player game
10. Caveman games
11. Burger TIme
12. Bubble Bobble 1 and 2

Other great games (but a little harder to find):

Tetris (the Tengen version)
Bad News Baseball
Klax
Pac Mania (absolutely THE BEST version of Pac Man)


Edited because I almost forgot one of the greatest... shooters... ever:

Gun.Smoke

Oh man.. I love that game!! I used to be able to finish it in a single life.. those were the days I tell ya.

This might be the first game that I ever experienced "nintendo thumb"... seriously, if you play this game without a TURBO button, you'll be in some serious pain. A true classic.

A huge second for bad news baseball. I would say my favorite baseball game of all time. You gotta love the bunny rabit umps and the close ups on close plays. There was another game with roof top jumping and other street games that was fun. It had similar looking characters to RCR and Dodgeball, but can't think of the game.

Dammit can Kid Icarus get some respect?

I'm seriously thinking of picking up a NES for this and Mario 3 alone.

YES! Finally someone else who has 1) heard of and 2) likes this game. I loved this game for the story it told. Such an interesting story for a game in that era.

You know, I've had Golgo 13 since its release, and I don't think I've ever played it for more than five minutes or so..........
*adds to the list of 50,000 other games owned that need to be played sometime this century*

I just bought Paperboy today for $5. It's not that bad of a game, if you can find it for cheap, get it.

That would be it! Thanks!

Well, the gameplay was kind of sluggish, but it's great. I have a copy of it at my in-law's house. (My wife bought them an NES a couple of years ago, and I found that game for about 5 bucks and bought it so I could play it over there.)

I found the game to quite motivating and full of action and intrigue when playing it at 13. The first true espionage driven game with a serious story, a hit man we all loved and got the ladies... the story made up for the lack of gameplay graphics and somewhat tedious gameplay. Some of the intricacies like the sniping elements and the detailed graphics that were made of pixels were quite impressive at the time. I still love the game although I find the ending level to be the hardest in gaming history. Intensly aggrivating.

bionic commando
metroid


Rescue: the embassy mission. game isn't that great but for 2 bucks it's worth it. the game has 4 stages mainly. the first sneaking in position (avoiding search lights.) rappeling from a roof. sniping, my favorite. and then a lame 1st person shooter when you are inside the building.

gauntlet is another good one.

1. Maniac Mansion loads of fun and will make you think.
2. TMNT 3
3.TMNT 4
4. All the megamans
5. if you like rpgs Dragon Warrior 2-4
6.Metroid
7.Mario 3
8. Gremlins 2 is pretty fun
9.Spot

What's the game with those jellybeans?

M.C. Kids (McDonald Kids). Seriously, if you EVER come across this game, BUY it. It is WAY better than Mario 3, and any other NES platformer!

Last Night I picked up 11 NES games from work since I bought a mint NES Top Loader for $50.

You gotta love old school games. Lots of fun with little thought!
