I grew up on the NES. Final Fantasy, Mario 1-3, Mega Man 2-6 (never could find a copy of 1), TMNT 1-3 (the original is INSANELY HARD), Zelda 1-2 (I actually LOVE 2, even though it's also extremely hard)...that was the life.

The NES was the first system I ever played. Sadly, I don't have one now since the NES we did have was my brother's and he sold it to our cousin. It's all old and barely plays games, now.
My favorites from the console (that I actually played on that console) were Super Mario Bros 1 & 2, Duck Hunt, Jaws, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II and Ninja Gaiden. I didn't play Zelda or Metroid until their re-releases. My brother had the gold cartridge of both Zelda games and he wouldn't let me touch them. The evil! EVIL!
One thing that I really like about the NES is that it uses S-video cables. It makes me sad that they opted to only use the RF cables or whatever they're called for the SNES/Genesis generation.
I do think that if my SNES used S-Video, I'd play it a lot more. SNES games feel like they took the formula of NES stuff and practically perfected it.
I will still occasionally hook my NES up and playthrough it again. Usually when I finally purchase another great gem of a game. There are too many game sfor me to think of but I think Mega Man 2 is easily my favorite game on the system, it just had the best level design, the most iconic bosses, and the best damn music in the series. The Legend of Zelda is also really fun and I have to give props to Capcom's Disney titles which are probably some of the best Disney themed games frankly ever.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
My grandmother actually had one and I played it maybe 5 times when I was very young. I know I tried out a Zelda game (the first one I believe) and this other side scroller (haha) game that I really liked but can barely remember anything about.
But like I said, I was very young so as I mentioned I'm not really sure which games came from the NES.
The NES was one of the first consoles I owned, and it is still one of my favorites; I play more games for the NES than any other console. Shatterhand is my favorite NES game; The Legend of Zelda is my favorite entry in that series; Mega Man 4 was my favorite in that franchise until the release of 9, with the original a close second; Pro Wrestling, Punchout!, Nekketsu Dodgeball, and Nekketsu Hockey are my favorite sports titles; Dragon Quest 3 and Final Fantasy 1 and 3 are close to being my favorite entries in their series; Super Mario Brothers 3 and Kirby's Adventure are still excellent.
For the life of me I can't get past the jumps in Gutsman's stage.
I love how fast you fall when those platforms drop you.
