ah ha ha, sean baby is great: Notice how without the Cloak of Darkness you have to see yourself die. Is this Power-Up as stupid and ridiculous as it seems, or is Wizards and Warriors forcing us to ask ourselves the classic philosophical question, "Is it better to lack a higher understanding yet be content, or is the higher understanding itself worth pain and torture?" This question got rephrased several years ago with: "Carrot top fans are genuinely happy, but would you trade brains with one of them?" And now thanks to Wizards and Warriors, philosophy students will get to think about this: "Is it worth the luxury of actually seeing where your Nintendo guy is when it means living through the trauma watching him get eaten alive?" |

I read that video game systems control what gets released, so if you want marketably risky, more unique adventurous games the computer is where you'll more likely find them. I can't wait to start searching and finding great comp games. Plus I'd say the keyboard is much more intuitive than a controller. The directional pad might be better, but shoulder buttons suck and a thumb can only hit one button at once, unless awkwardly positioned. |

man, if you ask me, mario 3 holds up to this day. that game is still fun as all get-out! by the way, here are some interesting game genie codes for legend of zelda - i found them out screwing about one day, and they have interesting effects. (for six letter codes, leave the last two spots blank) GANONS - Changes the music to the game. (warning: music may become annoying) SPINAL - Makes Link into Two-Face! (each half of him is different colors, WARNING: May cause game to freeze) PEPEEE - My brother was being stupid and figured this out, but it has VERY interesting effects. It doubles the amount of sprites that appear when you enter a screen. So, if there are four enemies usually in an area, this code makes it to where there's eight. Another weird effect of it is that the Zoras become shapeshifters - constantly changing shape from Zora, to the old man, to even something that i swear looks like a boombox. Oh yeah, and this code makes several hidden doorways appear that are not in either of the quests. They don't take you anywhere though - you just come back to the screen you found the door. Weird code, but interesting. |

I still play Mario 3 all the time, it's usually the thing to do with friends when we can't think of anything. "Want to play Mario?" "Yeah sure why not" |
||||||||

I found sooooo many game genie hacks for SMB 3. It was unreal. If I come across the book (I wrote them all down) I'll post a few. Funniest were the graphical ones. There's one that even makes mario turn blue and spiky and has more than a slight resemblance to sonic! (although, for some reason he also walks at half pace...) |

I'm thinking I should buy a NES again. This thread is making me miss it (altough I think the SNES is a better console with much more classics released for it). Or better yet I'd want to own a famicom :-D Have you ever seen pictures of the famicom-cartridges? They all have different colors. Outside of Japan we felt special because zelda had a gold cartridge. But in japan each cartridge has a different color. Kirby is pink, SMB3 is yellow, etc. Also the boxart is always better in Japan. And ofcourse there are all those games that were never released outside of Japan. Famicom had a transformer-game! A Twinbee-game! Two Goemon-games even! Why wasn't I born in Japan?!? |

NES consoles have been going up in price. The last time I checked, an NES was twice as much as a 64. I'll cherish mine forever. *hugs NES* *wipes tear* |

I still have an NES, but it just doesn't work! Those things were poorly designed. In fact, I think mine broke in '89 or something, and I had to stick a big object in there with the game to make the ''tray'' thing stay down, or it wouldn't work. They never should have changed the design. Though I think there's a gold-colored NES Two that was released in '91 or '92 that's supposed to be more practical, but I've never seen one. What a shocker. |

Yeah, the actual interface on the cartridge tray is prone to wearing out, too. You can prolong its life a bit using things that go between it and the cartridge (like an action replay). In fact there was an "add-on" for the Famicom (Japanese Version) that basically sat in the slot and prevented wear. I've seen on ebay claims of NESes that have had the tray replaced (presumably with a new, third party one) to remedy this problem. I've never come across anywhere offering this service though. I'm waiting for a reliable, well built, pal compatible, bootleg version of the nes (maybe with a SNes style cartridge slot) myself... |

im playing star tropics, link 2 and gauntlet 2 (which sucks) i remember deja vu, but i didn't play it. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|

I used to play gauntlet 2 so much in multiplayer with my mates. It was great in the arcade too, for its time. It hasn't aged to well though. "Red Warrior is about to die!" is still used in conversation amongst my old friends, as is "Don't shoot food!" when someone drops/spoils food. |

it was by the makers of shadowgate.. it is very similar except set in 1950's (?) new york and you play a character with amnesia. |

THAT is ninja gaiden?! Jesus christ that game was hard! I remember playing it, but I had forgotten the title. Presentation on that game was amazing. I think they even bragged about it in the manual. "cinema-style presentation" or something like that. But it really was awesome. That game had a better story than any other NES-game I've ever come across. The opening sequence was so cool. Two ninja's standing in the field. Looking straight at each other (close up of their eyes). Then all of a sudden they start running towards each other... jump up in the air... title screen. :-) I must have played it more than a 100 times before I could defeat that sucker, but I NEVER skipped any of the story-scenes. But like I said it was megahard. In the later levels I kept calling the Nintendo helpdesk for all the bosses. But the only thing they could say was: "you've just gotta hit it alot of times." Haha. Ah, good times. Finally beating it was an amazing experience. |

Yeah, best series ever. Those NES Ninja Gaidens had music to die for, and the cutscenes were pioneering. It's damn hard though, all three of them. The thing I hate about the NES Gaidens is the diabolical placement of enemies when you're platforming! You go to jump onto a little ledge and a bird will instantly fly into your face or a samurai will magically appear on the ledge, leaving you NO room to do anything but fall down and splatter onto some spikes. The music, though... the music is amazing in those games. Have you ever played/seen the Xbox Ninja Gaiden? Might be the best game I've ever played, and it actually ISN'T a pushover. Actually, it bent me over and ninja-raped me in the ass a few times, just like the NES days. That rarely ever happens anymore. So that series has got some major legs. |

"and I had to stick a big object in there with the game to make the ''tray'' thing stay down, or it wouldn't work." LOL. I never had much problems with mine. (and I used it ALOT!) But who knows... if I would have kept it, it might have been broken by now too. By the time the SNES came out... it made the nes-games look pretty horrible. No sprite-flicker, multi-layer scrolling. And ofcourse there was F-Zero... those graphics managed to hypnotize me for a long time when I first saw the demo in a toystore. So at the time it wasn't such a hard decission to get rid of my NES. But now I'd really like to play it again. I bet I'd choke up with nostalgia if I saw the sprite flicker in Super Mario Bros 3 :-p That said... I can already play most of my favourite NES-titles. Super Mario All Stars covers the mario bros series. Metroid is avaiable through Metroid Prime. And both zelda's are on the zelda bonus-disc. Getting an actual nes would really be pretty only for nostalgia. Mmm... I spent alot of time with the very first Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles game too. That game was rockhard as well. I actually doubt if I could bring myself to complete it again. I remember after like level 4 or something things got REALLY hard. So I usually spend at least an hour replaying parts of level 4 over and over to stock up on lives and pizza. That took alot of patience... but if I didn't do it I wouldn't stand a chance in the later levels... those were most definitely the days :-) Ooh and double dragon 2... oh man, the memories are really starting to come back now :-p I MUST get one! |
||||||||
|

Also, Elite, Zelda 2, Tetris (second best ever version IMO), Probotector (aka contra), Castlevania 1 & 3. |

I actually only played the one on that screenshot. I don't think any other parts of the series were ever released in europe. At least I never heard of any before. "the diabolical placement of enemies when you're platforming!" YES! Oh god... that was so frustrating! I used to scream and curse alot when playing that game! :-p Jump on ledge... immediately jump back to previous ledge to avoid enemy... throw ninja star to kill enemy... jump back to the ledge. Haha... you really had to memorize that stuff or you didn't stand a chance. I don't have any other nextGen-console besides the Gamecube, so no sadly I haven't played the new Ninja Gaiden. If I would ever buy another console it would probably be a PS2 anyway so I can play Final Fantasy. So unless it stops being xbox-exclusive I don't think I'll ever play it :-/ I'm actually the highest bidder on a nes on ebay now :-) Only 13 minutes to go... |

84D455! I loved that intro. There was a great similar one on some arcade machine (I'm not sure which one) where these two ninjas face off and then leap between two rooftops, clashing in mid air. You see the sword of one draw blood as they go past. |
||||||||

yes yes. and let's not forget the intro to ninja gaiden 2 with ASHTAR. MAU HSLDFKH AHAHAHA H klchaHA CKh *cough* |

and i would post an exciting screenshot from the third installment if...well. if there were actually something interesting happening in it. the intro was hardly anything special. |

"surrounded: here's the shot you're refering to, no? =]" :-D Goosebumps! That was one great game. It was also the first game I ever played where you were able to cling to walls and get sort of a wall-jump-thing going. Though I'm sure that was probably possible in some other game before it. I won the nes-auction btw. :-) It comes with 2 controllers and a zapper. The famous mario bros/duckhunt cartridge. Castlevania (i actually never played the original before!), Rad Racer (developped by Squaresoft :-p + it comes with the 3D-glasses). And a game called TailSpin. I have no idea what that one is though. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

Rad Racer is quite a good laugh. A mate of mine found a copy dumped in the hedge in the park. I would have probably not even bothered to try it, but he took it home and tested it and it worked fine! |
||||||||

Ooops, I meant RC Pro-Am, I've never played rad racer :S |

"A mate of mine found a copy dumped in the hedge in the park. I would have probably not even bothered to try it, but he took it home and tested it and it worked fine!" Heh, I once heard from someone who found a copy of super mario bros. He was ice-skating, and the game was actually in the ice. He managed to pull it out and let it properly dry at home... it still worked :-p "Ooops, I meant RC Pro-Am, I've never played rad racer :S" RC Pro-Am is alot like Rock 'n Roll Racing for the snes... no? I love that game! (RnRRacing). I think RCPro-Am shares the isometric perspective and things like that... for as far as I could tell from the screenshots. Hopefully I'll be able to tell you about radracer in a week or so :-) |

|

cool :-) I might have to look into that one! I seriously doubt it will have music anywhere near as awesome as RnR Racing though :-p *surrounded is humming Born To Be Wild* I also spent so much time in the shop, upgrading my car. And then at some point a completely new car would become available... but I had upgraded the previous car so much that I could never bear to give up on it. My buddy who I always played it with DID buy all the new cars as soon as they became available... which is why he always managed to defeat me in the end :-/ It was great fun though! RnR Racing is so brilliantly designed. We'd start early in the morning and play until late in the afternoon without ever getting bored :-D |

Have you played Death Rally on the PC? Similair sort of game, but from a Micro Machines POV. It even has Duke Nukem in it :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh man. I used to get so scared during that intro. Ninja Gaiden 2 was the only one that's really beatable, for me. The first one has a near impossible gauntlet of death near the end, and the third one is just cruel all the way through. Nice job on the NES, Rounded. My cousin has the first Castlevania and I played that more than any other NES game. Maybe. It's really tough though. Expect to die and never, ever beat the game, heh. I never have. You'll recognize all the classic tunes, the music was fantastic right from the start. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, yes, good old Castlevania! Each of the pieces of the NES Trilogy had its own charms. But goddamn, death was CRUEL in the first game! In the second game, he was a total sissy, as was Dracula. I remember in Castlevania 3, when you freeze the water with Syfa - i nearly shit myself when i first did that. Ah, good old teammates. |

Grant McNasty all the way baby! |

Rad Racer came with 3d glasses and if you hit select during gameplay, it would switch you into 3d mode.. lol it sucked. But still cool for a 9 year old me. Q: Yes, Deja Vu.. similar gameplay/music as Shadowgate, which is a great game. The same folks also made Uninvited, which is fantastic. 'sace: Holy hell, you're in for a ride. Ninja Gaiden 3 is so hard. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

rad fucking racer. one of the classic games in my childhood game library. so radical. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I wish the guy would email me back though. I already mailed him twice asking for his bankaccount# so I can transfer the money. On the other hand the auction ended yesterday late at night... he might have been sleeping. And maybe he works during the day... so all in all it wouldn't be that strange if he didn't mail me back sooner than tonight ;-) He had lots of positive feedback so it should be alright. "Rad Racer came with 3d glasses and if you hit select during gameplay, it would switch you into 3d mode.." yeah i heard that. I just love that kind of stuff. I'm really curious how that 3D mode actually looks. Is the 3D-effect good? I have a virtual boy, and even though there aren't any really good games for it, I still think the 3D-effects are amazing. I hope it'll compare to that :-) Now I have to start looking for more nes-games :-p Mario Bros 2 & 3 are essential. Some megaman-games probably. Double Dragon2. Ninja Gaiden (which I remembered today was actually called Shadow Warrior in europe)... it's gonna be sweet :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The 3D effect on Rad Racer doesn't work, at least it never did for me when I had it. You press Select, the screen goes all green/red wobbly, and put your glasses on and... nothing. It was a great game though. I spent hours on it. I think the music was good too, although I may be horribly wrong... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"the screen goes all green/red wobbly, and put your glasses on and... nothing." Hm... that doesn't sound very promising. What a shame. I was hoping I'd see some early experiments in virtual reality or something :-p Oh well. Atleast 2 out of 3 persons seem to think the game itself is very good. I can't wait to find out! |
