The Original NES

[Neutron]

Do any of yall long for the days when we had the original NES?

I grew up with the NES. I still have one.

My favorite game for it has to be The Legend of Zelda.

I sure do remember, and I do have the NES zelda on my wii now, ahhhh the memories!

 

[jpdubose]

Absolutely! Virtual Console was one of the big draws of the Wii for me. I wore my NES out and by the time it was done for, I had a SNES, so I never worried about getting a new one. Then my mom sold my old NES games in a yard sell one day while I was in college.

there is a company making NEW systems to play NES games... cant remember the name of it off the top of my head.. but i am thinking of picking one up over the winter so i can hit garage saels and buy games for a buck or less...

 

[lakebum431]

Zelda was amazing. I agree, that was my favorite game as well.

 

[Mr Tony]

still have it....still play it

Mike Tyson's Punch Out (the real one...not the one after he went to jail)

love that game

 

[duckydan]

We were talking about this at work yesterday. Punch Out was the greatest boxing game to date (not graphically but the most fun to play)

I also loved Zelda, Mario, Jackyl, and a few others. I sit around playing em on my phone with a rom emulator.

No doubt. The best Christmas I ever had as a kid (and the only one I really remember) was the one when I got my NES.

Zelda (only the first one), Punch-Out, Mario Bros 1-3, all great games... I still have them upstairs, although my system crapped out... maybe I'll get one of those newer ones that will play the games - has to be cheaper than a Wii...

Man ( I am only 19) but it brings back a lot of nostalgic moments, I use to love the NES/N64/Sega Saturn, those were great times, games were really cool too.

LOL Kid Icoris (however it was spelled) was the game I remember the most from the NES, I also enjoyed playing Zelda for hours. Anyone have/had the robot? How about the arm controller (the bracelet thing) or the zapper? Back then I had them all, funny, none of those things are in the "Next Generation" consoles, that was un-heard of then. LOL, the memories... First game I ever played on the NES was Donky Kong. How long ago was that?

Funny, I have Contra downloaded on my 360, and I can't even play it anymore, so used to modern graphics, no side to side and up-to-down or down-to-up scrolling.

 

[lakebum431]

Oh man, Contra rocked! Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start!

 

[lumpkin666]

Super Mario Bros!!! I still have it, but don't play it much anymore. As one of my handful of arcade machines, I do have a Super Mario Bros upright that also plays DuckHunt and Hogan''s Alley.

You missed it ...

B, A, B, A, select, start. Hit select if you want two peeps! Awesome game.

I still play the old games today on the XBox NES emu.

One of my favorites was Kid Icarus.

 

[Mr Tony]

couple other cool games
-Excitebike
-Goonies II (played that game for hours)
-Burgertime

 

[meStevo]

Pro Wrestling.

You're right about adding select for the 2 players, but I have to disagree on the extra B,A. It is only there once. I doubted myself for a minute, so I had to look it up to be sure:
Konami Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Ramy]

I still have mine. My favorite game was Baseball Stars.

Blades of Steele was good too.

 

[mewilsie]

Sold my original long ago but picked up a refurb one a few years back. The Legend of Zelda is still one of the best thought out games I ever played.

Can't seem to find a working example of Baseball Simulator 1000 anywhere. I have the SNES version, but it's not as good. The best thing I remember from the original is that if you beaned a batter with a super pitch of some sort, he'd explode.

 

[tonyp56]

Super Mario Bros!!! I still have it, but don't play it much anymore. As one of my handful of arcade machines, I do have a Super Mario Bros upright that also plays DuckHunt and Hogan''s Alley.

Duckhunt, LOL "quack quack... POW" LOL I played that one too...
