Board 8 > What NES games am I missing here?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well, you only have TMNT, which is the worst of the three NES Turtles games.

Not sure if you meant the whole series with "TMNT" or not though.

You're missing the promise to do a ranking and possible video topic of your playthroughs.

I don't know about playthroughs, but the goal (besides the pleasure of playing great NES games) is to do some ranking in the future.

As long as the game is good, and not just that one obscure game you played as a kid you kinda liked.

Get these ones;
- Adventure Island I, II & III (Note: The first one has unforgiving difficulty. Get the 2nd and the 3rd at least)
- Metal Gear (You might wanna get the MSX version since the NES one is a watered down version of it and get Metal Gear 2 while at it)
- Tecmo Super Bowl
- Prince of Persia (Again, the NES is a watered down version. Get the PC one if you can)
- Willow
- Maniac Mansion
- Spartan X 1 and 2 (Japanese name)

Some games I personally enjoyed
- 3-Eyes Boy (Note: this game is VERY difficult to come by and I don't think its ever been localized outside Japan)
- Samurai Pizza Cats
- Jurassic Park
- The Goonies 1 & 2
- Felix the Cat

Rock n' Roll and Glam Metal... It never died

Shatterhand

Journey to Silius
Street Fighter 2010

maybe Solomon's Key
There's actually an Adventure Island 4 as well, I think it might have never actually come out though. It's a Metroidvania, surprisingly

Well, you only have TMNT, which is the worst of the three NES Turtles games.

This. I honestly suggest you play TMNT 2 and 3 only. TMNT 1 on the NES is just a horrible game no matter how you look at it.

--
Rock n' Roll and Glam Metal... It never died

From what you dont' have on your list i'd say:

- Jurassic Park
- Felix the Cat
- Shadowgate

Other than that it's a damn good list

If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest.

Some of the games on there are just games I happened to have already played as a kid.

Replaying TMNT1, I realized just how bad it is.

SuperNiceDog is a vicious breed and should be banned from further Guru contests.

Oh, and if there's one game you have to add, TC, it's gotta be Battle Kid. I can't rave enough about that title.

That's a lot of games!

This could take a while, though I could probably knock out quite a few in just a few hours.

Though I do like to take my time with a game, so maybe not.

Seriously. It's an amazing system that kids who started at 16-bit or later will just never give credit to.

If you like Blitzball, try Captain Tsubasa II (in English) for NES!

I'm rather ashamed to say that I was once one of those people. I grew up in the age of 3D graphics, and any time someone tried to introduce me to one of the games that were created before I was born I would inevitably give up within a couple of hours, claiming that "the blockiness makes my eyes hurt" and "the gameplay is too simple". It's only within the last couple of years (thanks to increased maturity and understanding, I guess) that I've really come to appreciate the retro scene, and I now count titles such as StarTropics, Maniac Mansion, and Adventures of Lolo among my all-time favourites.

O.o lol wall of text

Destiny of an Emperor

I'm gonna second this, but just to let you know, this game takes for-f***ing-ever.

Not exactly a mainstream title, as it wasn't released in North America, but Captain Tsubasa II is really awesome. It's a football/soccer RPG. If you like Blitzball, you'll love it. There's an English translation available online.

Battle Kid is basically an NES adaptation of IWBTG, except that the difficulty is actually fair. Tough as hell, but no cheap deaths to be found.

All fantastic games.

Do you think cats are clever? They don't hold a candle to dogs and SuperNiceDog is the cream of the crop since he won the Guru contest without breaking a sweat.

I actually gave Battle Kid another try, and now I'm making progress.
Doesn't Gun.Smoke require 3 buttons? How did they pull that off on the NES?
