Devyn Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 DuckTales and Rescue Rangers are awesome. Oh man, Nintendo need to start bringing all of the 8-bit and 16-bit Capcom-made Disney games to virtual console, like pronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Is there a consensus on the best NES emulator, btw? I was looking at FCE Ultra, but some people were recommending RockNES over it. I've had the best results with FCE Ultra myself. It runs pretty smooth, has all the standard features (save states, speeding up the game, etc.), and the hacking features are likewise pretty good and relatively easy to use. If you can get a hold of it, Chiller is an awesome (not because it's good) unauthorized light gun game, but you can use your controller, too. I mean, the last level is a torture chamber where you torture different people in different horrific ways. How awesome is that?! ...how in the world did that get past--oh, it was unauthorized. I was under the impression that the only company that managed to really sell 'unauthorized' games was Wisdom Tree (the makers of Bible Adventures, Sunday Funday, and Spiritual Warfare. ...Spiritual Warfare is actually not that bad if you can overlook the whole 'smite the heathens' theme.) ...come to think of it, you might want to go ahead and get Spiritual Warfare.

DarkAura Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Gauntlet City Connection Skate or Die (1 and 2) Monsters in My Pocket Excitebike City Connection... while an annoying game when it comes to controls, plot, and music, other than that, it's quite addicting. I actually want to attempt to remix the music of the first level... Monsters in My Pocket brings back some serious memories. I never did beat that game. The original Gauntlet was fun, and even more so when you have a second player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use nestopia. And it is fully compatible with my NES pad as well. It's very basic, but works very well for me. EDIT: Oops, double post... Shoot me with a light gun.

Lotd2242 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 RAMPAGE.Also (to fill character limit) SMB3 Darkwing Duck Insult Master Rampage is great if you have a few hundred hours to kill trying to get to the end. And I must've rented Darkwing Duck a hundred times, and I never beat that game. I remember it being infuriatingly hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herograw Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 so this might leave some people scratching their heads, but... Lode Runner The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle I'm a sucker for simple games like this because even with their primitive underpinnings they still invoke a sense of suspense.

Darklink42 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Boulder Dash (One of my favorite head scratchers of all time) The first FF (if you want to smash your head through a wall on account of horrid AI) Star Tropics (One is better than two, both rock) Zelda 2 should only be played if Zelda one has been beaten. I despise the game, but on it's own merits It's not too bad. Trog (Another one of those old games I played for ten minutes as a kid and loved) Donkey Kong (Because it's short and sweet, and still awesome to this day) I use FCE Ultra myself, and I've never had a problem with it.

q-pa Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hm. Any way I can get an NES controller to work with my computer? I bought a NES -> USB cord online for about $20. I forget where, but look around the net for it.Adding to the list, personally I like Bomberman 2, Paperboy and just last week I tried Baloon Fight (the game the WarioWare series continually shoves up your ass ). As simplistic and arcade-y as it is, it is a pretty decent game FWIW. Also, since we're talking emulators, look up a ROM called Dance 2000. It's an attempt to make DDR for the NES. It only half-works but it's pretty funny. Edit: There are also interesting homebrew ports of Tekken 2 and various Street FIghters. Edit2: How did we get this far without mentioning DR. MARIO?!

Oh wow, I feel like a jerk now. If I had seen that post I would have posted this before. http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?categoryID=79 I bought the retro port, and I highly recomend it. It works flawlessly, and you can find NES controllers around pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calazael Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Ever play Xexyz? It's one of my favorites. Crazy fantasy/sci-fi sidescrolling action + side-shooter.... Try it if you never have, it's been one of my long-standing favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the remix for the music for Columns rocks so much harder than the remix for Dr. Mario. Anyway... (gotta think WAAAAAAY back to the NES days...) um... another game... Dragon Warrior, I think it was called. You play a warrior guy in one stage on a side scrolling mission, and some of the stages you play a dragon with different breath attacks... it was pretty fun. I gotta find another ROM of that game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former_Rocket Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 This topic doesn't seem to have been used in a long time, but this my first ever post on this forum. I've been coming here for a while and figured I should just register and talk in the forums. As for NES games you should play, here is my list. 1. The Guardian Legend 2. Batman 3. Legacy of the Wizard 4. Life Force 5. Capt. Skyhawk 6. Gargoyle's Quest 2 7. Super Mario Bros. 3 8. Overlord (civ. builder type game but still fun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 If no one has mentioned Crystalis, then everyone in this thread is a failure. Best overhead zelda-style game for NES hands-down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyXIII Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Star TropicsSecond one would be easier to get into nowadays, but the first one is the better game in all respects. It's ridiculously hard, as most NES games are. Word of warning: You will need to go to GameFAQs at least once during the game. Holy smokes! I never even tried the second one...but the first was my first RPG-ish victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbei Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Holy smokes!

Harmony Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 if it hasn't been said (and I doubt it has been) then Caveman Games. Ahhh, memories of dragging your wife to the line, then hurling her downrange for distance. Good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
