Bubble Bobble is one of my favorite games ever!
Ah, this just gave me a fun wallpaper idea and reminded me that my emulator exists. Thanks 👍
Skipping some and having one in twice
Sorry about that.
Not anything worth apologizing for.
This is your list. That I think some things may be missing is irrelevant, but it can be a conversation starter.
That you have a duplicate means you can cram more of your favorites in, if you like.
Which was your favorite?
Definitely Balloon Fight. The control scheme is perfect. Two player coop. Simple but fun, and with the right challenge.
I wish it had more variety in the level design.
What are your NES favourites?
My favorites were Ninja Turtles, Final Fantasy, Paperboy, Zelda, Rygar, Castlevania 3, or Kid Icarus. At least those ones got massive amounts of play time.
Kid Icarus is a little too difficult for me, but I think I should try again and see if I can get better.
I only played TMNT on SNES, perhaps I should try the NES one.
I never tried Paperboy, is it good?
Lot of ones inthere I don’t recognize, but I think the only one that should be added is Metroid.
Yeah. I want to highlight some games that are under-appreciated. If I add SMB/Zelda/Metroid etc then there would be less room for less known games.
What’s that one with a baby?
For some reason Battletoads wasn’t popular/known in my region. For fighting games, we were into Double Dragon and Kunio Kun (River City).
Jackal! That game was a bonding moment for my brother and I.
I love same-screen coop games. Too bad they aren’t popular any more after the 8-bit and 16-bit era.
It’s amazing how few great couch co-op games there are.
Yeah, I agree. The NES was king back in the day.
Before that, it was Atari before the crash.
Then Sega joined the international market even though they were making systems in Japan.
Have I played on an actual NES, though? Technically on Nintendo Switch Online, yes.
Just not an actual system yet.
Hopefully, I’ll decide to collect for that soon but I’m also interested in the Sega Master System.
I appreciate a fellow Jackal enjoyer
Did you just not play Super Mario Bros?
I did. Just not enough room for too many good NES games.
You had enough room to put Lifeforce on twice.
I mostly played Blades of Steel (an ice hockey game that turned into a fighting game every few seconds), TMNT and Top Gun. I think I landed on that goddamn carrier like 3 times combined, but it was still a blast! We also had a completely legal cartridge with 250 games on it, so I’m definitely forgetting something. I may need to get a CRT and try if my NES still works.
I’d vote Dragon Quest III!
City Connection! Love that game, fantastic soubdtrack.
Yeah it is a bit simplistic, but I go back to it for a short run once in a while. Miss the simple pick up and play.
Was Nekketsu Kouha Kunio Kun released as “Renegade” in the US? That screenshot looks a lot like the second stage. The characters’ clothes look different from what I remember though.
I played this on an emulator decades later and it was my all time favorite NES game. I ended up beating all 3 multiple times.
So many NES games require perfect timing under strong time pressure. This one being a puzzle game also requires some timing but you can plan your trip and try again if you mess up.
I actually helped develop levels for a copycat game some rando I met online made, it was fun!
