Nintendo memories

<< -How FRIGGIN' HARD Ghosts 'N' Goblins was. >>



LOL, and then you had to beat it AGAIN to see the real ending. I used to play Contra so much, I could actually beat the game w/o using the 30 life cheat. Man, those were the days...

<< -How cool the Power Glove looked and how much it sucked when I actually tried to play games with it. >>



No kidding, I wanted one so bad that my dad got me one, but I think I played with it like 2 times. I still have it too...

funny flash movie.

Super C and Jackal were my favorites. I played those games so much I could finish them without losing a life (translation = nerd). Konami had it down.

i liked mario 1, when i first got it when i was 4, my sister was showing it to me, and she was talking about the flowers, and for some reason i thought she meant the flower that you bake with, and since then i've had this image of a sack of flour when it comes to the flowers in that game.

I don't have many Nintendo memories. Start a thread called Atari memories so that us old timers can have some sun, too.

Never actually started playing video games until SNES, but I remember Super Mario Bros 2. That game was a trip, watching people play, getting so p*ssed off, and bouncing the controller off the TV set.......:Q -kd5-

<< Crystalis, one of the most underrated NES games ever. >>



mos def

 

[kw3i]

btw did any of you crystalis players get the uber sword and instead of finishing the game just go back to the world and hack away with it...nothing could stop you, that was alot of fun to do.

And for us wargamers there was this little known NATO vs U.S.S.R. game called Conflict. Now that game was incredible for it's day! Super Conflict for the SNES sucked though.

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. 'Nuff said.

Isn't that a code from Mortal Kombat 3?

I still remember it

<< -Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start >>



I think it's a trademark for the old Konami games. It works for Contra and Gradius as far as I recall.

atari was the bomb..the only machine you could flip the power on and off and get an entirely new version of the game.

anybody find the magic dot on adventure

 

[tkim]

contra was the bomb!!


anyone remember rygar??? that was fun!

 

[Anghang]

dang!...memories!....

beating games w/o losing a life (Contra, Gradius, Super Mario, etc.)
beating Mike Tyson!...WOOHOO!!...or, anyone remember the code to just go straight to Mike Tyson?..i used to know it...

i recall going back to the homeland and coming back with all these games, cartidges with 10 games in'em...or even 20-100 games in 1...pretty cool...

Super Mario Bros. 2 in asia was different from the one they released in the states, and was it part 3 where the asian version was harder being that if you got hit, you lose everything and become small instead of losing only the cape?

finally making it to the minus world in Super Mario Bros, i believe in level 1-2...

Uh, Excitebike, building your own track was the shiznit.

 

[trmiv]

You guys are bringing back some serious memories for me! These are probably my 6 favorite games for the NES

Mike Tyson's Punchout-I remember going to my friends house every day after school to play that game until we beat it.

Excitebike, I could build tracks all day with massive jumps

RC Pro Am- I think I wore this cartridge out I played it so much

Kid Icarus-Haven't seen it metioned, but I absolutely LOVED that game

Metroid-I remember getting Nintendo Power and using the map to find all the secrect areas. That game kicked ass

Legend of Zelda-I played this game forever. So many cool things to find, then the second quest let you go at it all over again.

<< Excitebike, I could build tracks all day with massive jumps >>


i think i am going to cry.

why can't they make such amazing games anymore? Nintendo relied on gameplay and only gameplay since graphics sucked back then...so the games were amazing. Games today just suck ass...

You got that right, Kami. I'm really glad I never sold any of my old stuff, it's all still here. I've always loved going back to old games and playing them again, and I knew if I'd gotten rid of them they'd be gone forever. Still have dozens of NES and SNES games and the systems under my TV in the cabinet. I'll never let them go.

 

<< -Using up three dollars worth of tokens on the PlayChoice 10 arcade machine just so I could play Super Mario 3 in one long stretch. >>


AMEN!

Time to find and fire up MAME now!

 

[geno]
