Even today the game play is basically flawlessly executed

The humor was two decades ahead of its time

The visuals are amazingly detailed for the era

Also it's hilarious

River City Ransom is the best NES era game imo.

Punch Out is damn good too.

Soft D (lol)

It's a definitely one of the best aged NES games, but I think Kirby's Adventure aged a bit better.

It certainly has aged spectacularly, but so has Super Mario Bros 3. Dr. Mario has aged perfectly. The Tetris games have aged fine...

Most racing games have aged great. Tecmo Super Bowl has a cult following and is still a FANTASTIC game.

Contra and Super C...

I mean, it goes on and on here.

I... no.

Anyway, my vote is for Mega Man 2-4ish.

Super Mario Bros. 3, as well.

Zelda 1 aged the best imo other than the screen transitions
I played it for the first time a few years ago and it was amazing

Super Mario Bros. 3. You can't really improve it feasibly. Like they updated the graphics for the SNES version but they don't necessarily look better.

The techniques used to create that fake 3D effect was amazing. And better implemented than the similar tower spinning sections in say, Battletoads. :)

The screen borders causing weird colors on transitioniong was fixed in snes. I like the gba version though.

The bigger refinements for SNES were not having to finish the game in one sitting, and being able to arbitrarily replay worlds.

True story: When i played 5 i was young enough and dumb enough to think i was just amazing at mega man games. Later replaying them i realized its just really easy.

Funny OP fast charging mega buster. 4 and 6 have much better balanced charged shots.

For me C, but every game is as good or bad now as it was when it was released. Some games have been improved on more than others, though.

The experience of Tecmo Super Bowl hasn't really been improved on, but the AI is probably the worst I've ever seen in a video game and as a football game it's pretty terrible. I love Tecmo Super Bowl but it pisses me off.

Yeah, I'm sure Vodka Drunkenski from the USSR is suuuuuch a progressive take.

I'd say Dr. Mario is probably top pick; runners up are the first person puzzle/adventure games of Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and Uninvited. Only poor aging on their part is probably the UI.

You think those games aged well?

*shrugs*

Those just seem like much clunkier versions of games like Myst or even 7th Guest, which had the same first-person perspective with much better interfaces and sense of atmosphere.

A lot of Capcom games (Mega Man series, Little Nemo, Duck Tales). They're easy to control and not so unforgiving.

lol I think this is the first time I've agreed with Admiral without any qualifications

those old console versions of point and click adventure games are awful specifically because the UI is so bad

D. It has indeed aged quite well, but better than any other? I don't think I can go that far.

man I disagree with this a lot too

beat em ups before final fight are mostly shitty on any system, but especially home consoles

I still feel they hold really well. My favorite was streets of rage 2 but I wouldnt say that one is much more advanced from the NES gen.
