What was your favorite Nintendo (NES) game? - Page 2

Boris Godunov · January 29, 2003, 00:56

Dragon Warrior games were all I cared about. Though Destiny of the Emperor was pretty good, too. Same format, though.

Jon Miller · January 29, 2003, 00:57

I was a big fan of the dragon warriors and FF also

actually one of the better games I saw was all about legions (the 3-1 troops)

they rocked

I don't think I can enjoy a SP game that much anymore

I quoth Zylka again.. only cool kids played bubble bobble and things havent changed. Cool people all play bubble bobble to this day, when their doors are closed and you cant see them. So call your local dominos or pizza hut ir whatever... your gonna be up all day shooting bubbles from your mouth and popping it with your dino @ss. Its kinda like masturbation. You know it happens everywhere but you dont hear about it

Kramerman · January 29, 2003, 01:29

lol, i remember my first game. I had no concept of the city radius. I built like 6 cities directly adjacent to each other in a big solid polygon, in order to make some sort of 'super' city... unfortunately at the time I had no idea why my cities, especially the central ones sucked do bad. I just figured that it was the depressing ghetto 'inner city' of my megalopolis.

Zylka · January 29, 2003, 01:37

Bwahahaha calc, just make sure you stay away from it these days. That game is a scary relic

SUPER DODGEBALL was wicked!!!

orange · January 29, 2003, 01:45

Rivercity Ransom was very good, but I never played (or heard of) the dodgeball one

Blisterz · January 29, 2003, 01:46

Gengis Khan!
Just about anything by KOEI really.

SnowFire · January 29, 2003, 02:44

Legend of Zelda, easily. A true classic. Although Dragon Warrior IV was excellent, and the Mario games are of course invaluable as well.

MrFun · January 29, 2003, 02:52

Wow -- this brings back the good old days. Reminds me that I'm at the old age of 25.

My favorite Nintendo games, hands down:

Super Mario Brothers 3 -- definitely
I loved the Tanooki Suit and the Frog Suit.

Contra -- yes, this heart-bleeding liberal loved some violent games.

Zelda -- great game

Final Fantasy -- the first one in the series that would popularize role playing games.

Bubble Bobble -- a fun game

Jon Miller · January 29, 2003, 02:54

my favorite was probably one of FF or DW3

Jon Miller

Mr. President · January 29, 2003, 04:30

Super Mario Bros.
Castlevania
Dr. Mario
Legacy of the Wizard

I can't wait to move back to America so I can use my NES again.

Alinestra Covelia · January 29, 2003, 11:29

Super Mario Bros 2 was based on Doki Doki Panic, which was changed from the original Mario 2 (aka the lost levels) because they thought it was too difficult for the ignorant milk-drinking westerners.

I liked all the Mario series. Bubble Bopple was great too, but I think the contenders for best game ever are Super Mario Bros 3, and Metroid.

I love Metroid. Every single time it's come out with a new game, the game has been top notch, and Metroid Prime is no exception.

LONG LIVE MOTHER BRAIN!

MrFun · January 29, 2003, 11:42

Oh yeah -- geez, how could I forget Metroid? That was a cool game.

Also, there was Ghouls and Ghosts.

SMB2 was released as it was in North America because Nintendo thought the real SMB2 was too similar to the original.

Juggernaut · January 29, 2003, 12:15

My favs, except for the obvious:

Probotector (Contra)
Snake Rattle n' Roll
Ikari Warriors
Wizards & Warriors
Balloon Fight
Kung Fu

Wizards & Warriors! No save, no password, but infinite continues, so if you wanted to finish the game you just had to lower your head and smash straight through. I don't exactly remember how long it took me to finally beat it, but you could fry an egg on the AC adapter when I was done.

Sarxis · January 29, 2003, 12:46

SMB3.

korn469 · January 29, 2003, 13:08

my all time favorite Nes game is:

Ghenghis Khan

then here are my other favorities

Nobunga's Ambition
Legend of Zelda
Castlevania
Metroid
Conflict
Metal Gear

Chris 62 · January 29, 2003, 15:56

So many, yep, Boris picked my fav, Destiny of an emperor, followed closely by the Dragon warrior series.

Metal gear I and II were great, but I loved the first, it was so cool.

Pirates should be up there, as well as the Koei games like Uncharted waters and the Romance of the three kingdom series.

I also was into a little known game called Shingen the Ruler.

For sports, you can't beat Tecmo bowl.

For shooters, Contra and Jackel.

Marid Audran · January 29, 2003, 18:07

I'll go with Castlevania III, Rygar, and Super Dodge Ball. Some of those early 8-bit RPGs were okay but the ones released on the computer always had 'em beat.

Brizey · January 29, 2003, 18:18

SMB3

Castlevania 3(?)

Bubble Bobble

The only three games I actually finished.

Sheik · January 29, 2003, 18:27

Without a doubt Contra. I remember playing that game for hours on end. It had great action and was hard enough to be challenging without being a pain in the ass.

I would say my second favorite game was Battletoads.

Ben Kenobi · January 29, 2003, 18:54

Blades of Steel!!

Best Nintendo game ever!

Odin · January 29, 2003, 19:07

Ultima IV
Final Fantasy
SMB 3
Duck Hunt

Mega Man 4
Ultima V
