About to make a bold statement about an NES game.

I did enjoy Bionic Commando, but it was frustrating as hell. I would rent the game every weekend and could only get about halfway through it. I finally bought it several years later and beat it.

Blaster Master was the same way... loads of fun, but frustrating, and WTF No Password or Save? #$%#@%!!!

oh damn I never knew the name of that game was River City Ransom...growing up all the NES games I played were in Japanese, so I didn't know what half of them were called. My favorite of that style of characters (same developers I'm assuming) is Super Dodge Ball. There was also this field and track game with the same style of characters...but I dunno its name

Is this it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_%27n_the_Boys:_Street_Challenge

This is the company:

Heck yeah. I only ever rented it, though, couldn't find it anywhere to buy. Don't think I ever made it past the fourth stage or so.

Oh yeah, you could go back to earlier areas too (and had to at a couple of points).


Edit: I forgot to add Final Fantasy 1 to your list. It absolutly hooked my on the RPG genre. I even started playing it though again recently. I am trying to kick Warmech @$* with the typical powergroup of 2 masters, white wizard, black wizard at level 24 (he won the first round).

Holy crap, that is fun

There was another really fun NES game. It was a speed boat game with guns. You were in a river. There were enemy boats, ramps, whirlpools, weapon upgrades, etc. The names eludes me. Something about Serpent, maybe?

 

[meltdown75]

E.T. on the Atari.

 

[JoLLyRoGer]

Two words - virtual console...
And this is why the Wii shall pwn ALL!!


All these titles resurrected for your gaming enjoyment! I can't wait!!

 

[meltdown75]

Dragon Warrior & the FFs pwned me.

NES was the b0xor that r0x0r3d

Cobra Triangle

That was another excellent game I had forgotten about until your post. :thumbsup:

 

[Zap Brannigan]

Metroid anyone? Let's see what other games were good that no one mentioned yet.....Castlevania, Wizards&Warriors, Tecmo Bowl, MLB Baseball and for Atari anyone remember Adventure!? That game was awesome.

It hooked a lot of us.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_%28video_game%29

Final Fantasy was developed during Square's brush with bankruptcy in 1987. In a display of gallows humor, producer / director Hironobu Sakaguchi declared that his "final" game would be a "fantasy" role-playing game, hence the title.

Yeah the original FF sucked more hours out of my childhood than anything else. Haven't played an FF game since, and after clicking the wiki link I feel like I could spend another 1000 hours on that game if I had an emu copy. I'd rate it the best NES game that I came across.

Mike Tyson's punch-out, SMB3, and Metroid get honorable mention...

 

[Al Neri]

adventure was great for the /\+/\®!

I just beat Rygar onto Double Dragon

If you have access to a PS2, you really, really need to play Dragon Quest VIII.

Yeah, River City Ransom was amazing, right up there with Double Dragon 2 in terms of 2 player co-op fun.
