Nintendo memories

[chaotic]

I don't think I'll ever sell my NES after reading this thread... it makes me want to take the afternoon off and play SMB3 and Micro Machines again!

What is this funco land that some of you speak of? Enlighten a poor midwestern guy

I love to play nes games! They just aren't the same emulated either. Btw I've played with nester for the dc, does the sound emulation still suck? Now I want to play duck hunt..

<< Final Fantasy I getting the air stone, and finally busting loose the air ship. That ruled. >>


that was the hardest fricken thing in my life...(3rd orb right??)

TECHMO (SUPER) BOWL...montana to rice, touchdown!! 49ers win, 49ers win!!

I was the 49ers. nothing could stop rathman...aka the &quot;white fridge&quot;

I remember playing Zelda nonstop, into the crazy hours, and then right before gannon...the room RIGHT BEFORE!! i was too scared to go into it...(i was 8), and so i saved it...

then my game broke...it wouldnt work anymore. i cried bad.

Contra rules, SUPER SPIKE VBALL!!! 4 players!!

and NINJA TURTLES 2 is the best game EVER!!! althought the arcade with kraing and rocksteady bebop combo was MUCH better, did that version ever make it anywhere?

We had kind of an old vs new trend going on our floor last year. The guys down the hall have an NES with prolly 50 games, and they'd play Mike Tyson Punch out while we'd play Ready 2 Rumble boxing on the DC. When they switched to Techmo Bowl, we switched to NFL2k1

Dr. Mario...how many nights did I fall asleep on their couch playing that.

Remember &quot;Gotcha!&quot;? It was a light gun game, quasi-paintball. I think it had one level . A friend had it, we decided it sucked and played Duck Hunt instead.

I still play Mario 3 on my SNES emulator (mario all stars). Favorite NES game of all time.

screw it, i was gonna buy a console but decided to go with emulation instead. i'll just setup an old p133 with win95 and tv card, hook that into the tv and download all the roms - as a matter of fact it'll be my sega/nes/snes/n64/genesis/dc/mame/colecovision/commodore64...etc! problem solved!

now a more troubling question, i have a makopad (gamepad) by interact, it's alright but want something more similar to the regular nes controller.

What is the best pc gamepad/joystick for console/arcade style gaming? , and has anyone found a joystick that will correctly work with the mame arcade version of 720?

People have failed to mention the all-time worst controller ever... ROB! I had that fvcking robot, played Gyromite for about 30 min using those tops and the controller on that robot. Pretty cool novelty item (I still have the damned thing, and it works), but worthless for gaming.

My favorites, all time:

Blades of Steel
Double Dribble
Metroid
Excitebike
Super Mario Bros. Series
Mike Tyson's Punchout!
Hogan's Alley
Legend of Zelda
