Any old-school Nintendo fans out there?

Post Reply New Topic

Still a big fan of the system. Although it was a poorly made system to get the frickin game working , always fun to play. I believe if you can get the game working after constant blowing and cleaning the game, you're already a 1/3 complete in beating the game. Anyway, here are some of my favorites...

Super Mario Bros. 3
Blades of Steel
Contra
Bionic Commando
California Games
Legend of Zelda (got the golden cartridge!)
WIzards & Warriors
Tecmo Super Bowl

...more games to be added. It's been a while since I played those games!

Super Mario 3 was/is awesome!

Heck yeah! I'm an old school fan and still a fan of many Nintendo franchises. I just wish they'd get their act together. It's infuriating to have a company make such good games but have no online or downloadable support for those games.

I love all the old (and new) Nintendo consoles. I still have my NES and SNES set up ready to play right now if I wanted. I play SNES more than NES because I love the Donkey Kong Country games. Playing either console now, I wonder how my fingers didn't go completely numb so many years ago, the controllers are really painful to play for any length of time, especially the NES ones.

I also have a golden Zelda game, is that special? I thought they were all golden.

When it's not all the way across the room I'll post the NES games I still own.

A properly video-modded top-loading model 2 is the best way to play NES. It still kind of blows my mind that you can pop a game in and it just works.



Don't blow in the game, it only makes it worse =/



For the NES, the golden carts were more common than the gray carts. I'm pretty sure Zelda II is the same way, but I'm not entirely sure.

For the 64, gold carts are slightly less common than grays (but not enough to be worth much money).

Played through Super Mario Bros 3 on mine yesterday. It's still connected with an original NES Advantage joystick.

You're correct. I believe only the late re-printed "NES Classics Series" (think "greatest hits," "players' choice," or "million-seller" today) were gray carts.



For OoT, the entire first shipment were gold. For MM, all were gold...but the first shipment had lenticular labels.


I got a like-new top-loader many years ago at a thrift store that looked like it had been professionally-refurbished by Nintendo. The cords even had the original twist ties.

When I noticed how poor the RF output was compared with a standard NES, I looked online and found that most or all top-loaders have this problem with variable severity. There was only preliminary information online for a fix, and I couldn't find any reports of someone completing the modification successfully. I believe there are other mods to add composite A/V, but I didn't want to perform any external modification. It's unfortunate that the US top-loader didn't come with the A/V jacks. It was known as the "Famicom A/V" in Japan!

These days, the value of a top-loader is severely diminished after Chinese counterfeits started showing up.

I've been playing on an old-style NES with a replacement cartridge connector.

I play snes more than my PS3 or 360

Oh right, yeah. It's been a while, and I never really got into Majora's Mask, so I couldn't remember what it was that was "rare" about that one.

Fortunately the one I bought off eBay already had the old crappy A/V mod done to it, so I didn't have to worry about drilling holes and adding the jacks to it.



Yeah, I was looking at those, but I couldn't find one for a decent price =/

I've got an N64 and a SNES. Even when my stepdad still had his SNES when I was a kid, he never had that many games for it and neither do I for mine, but I loved and still do love the Donkey Kong Country games (I still have yet to re-buy those), as well as Super Mario World.

Those old fashioned platform games are still a blast for me. It's just simple fun, nothing more and nothing less. Even the newer Pac-Man World 2 & 3 Games for Xbox and PS2 (never played one cuz it was only on PS1 and I've never owned a PlayStation console) are great because the gameplay is like Super Mario 64.

In the words of philosopher Van Zant: "I'm a simple kind of man."

Super Mario Bros 1 and 3
Dragon Warrior 1 2 3 4
Castlevania
Ghosts and Goblins
Final Fantasy
Rygar


It isn't poorly made, the 360 is a poor system.

What was the system they had before the nintendo64? the controller like a sideways remote control. and there were only like 5 buttons. ? I liked the mario game. i forgot what it was called though.

Super Nintendo was made in 1991 and N64 was made in 1996. At least in america. Also yeah the Mario games were amazing on that system.

oh yeah that is what it was! thanks.

I played Mario as a five year old and ever since, I haven't been able to put down the controller. It's especially with Mario games, and classic games were actually better, although there are still a few modern games I really like.

This thread is making me feel so nostalgic.

I have lots of fond memories with the old consoles, particularly Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64. I mostly played Mario games with my cousin. We ended up beating Super Mario World (the one for Super Nintendo) at a very early age.
