Needs more Crystalis
Did you just not play Super Mario Bros?
I did. Just not enough room for too many good NES games.
You had enough room to put Lifeforce on twice.
Balloon Fight! It’s similar to Joust (possibly even a rip off), but I find it to be a bit easier to control.
There is a video on youtube explaining the effort put into programming Balloon Fight to improve the controls.
I played a knock-off flash game called “Balloon Duel” as a kid. It was pretty fun, so I just decided to buy Balloon Fight to try it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
For some reason Battletoads wasn’t popular/known in my region. For fighting games, we were into Double Dragon and Kunio Kun (River City).
Jackal! That game was a bonding moment for my brother and I.
I love same-screen coop games. Too bad they aren’t popular any more after the 8-bit and 16-bit era.
It’s amazing how few great couch co-op games there are these days.
No Zelda? Boooooooo
I’d vote Dragon Quest III!
Dragon Quest for sure! Short but sweet. The sequels are longer. The final boss on Dragon Quest 5 was tough. Super Famicom great 90’s game.
Great, after reading the words City Connection, that music will be stuck in my head for a week
I played this on an emulator decades later and it was my all time favorite NES game. I ended up beating all 3 multiple times.
So many NES games require perfect timing under strong time pressure. This one being a puzzle game also requires some timing but you can plan your trip and try again if you mess up.
I actually helped develop levels for a copycat game some rando I met online made, it was fun!
So many memorable childhood games. Much bonding over Jackal and fighting (or trying to start a fight) in Ice Hockey. Nice solo gaming with awesome music on Gun.smoke and Balloon Fight.
I’m glad emulators exist and work out of the box, so I could keep playing these games without any hassle on my computer even if the hardware has become hard to find.
What’s that one with a baby?
Bubble Bobble is one of my favorite games ever!
Fuck yeah. Super Dodge Ball!
Surprised to not see TMNT or excitebike!
Was Nekketsu Kouha Kunio Kun released as “Renegade” in the US? That screenshot looks a lot like the second stage. The characters’ clothes look different from what I remember though.
