I got this emulation ish for my DS and I can play NES games on it now, but I never had an NES black in the day (first console was a 2600, second was a SNES, etc). So I know about only the games that my friends had and a few that I read about in some ultra old Gamepro issues.

So yeah, list wesome NES games here.

Kung Fu
Mario 1, 2 and 3
Contra
Ninja Gaiden
Ducktales (I fucking love this game)
Zelda
Mega Man 1, 3, 4 (kind of got hard after 4)

there's like 100 more good ones people will list

Kung Fu is garbage. Everything else on the list is good tho.

Rescue Rangers
TMNT 3 (knda hard, but a nostalgia trip)
Bionic Commando
Double Dragon I & II
Castlevania

I sense somebody couldn't beat Kung Fu. probably got your ass kicked by those little kids.

yea, Rescue Rangers is awesome.

and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is my favorite. It's the Arcade version

All time NES favorite: 3D Battles of World Runner AKA 3D World Runner. Just don't expect to beat this.

Other classics:
Mega Man 2, beaten this 15 times. The first mega man game is awful and the rest just don't feel the same. Possibly the best all around game on the NES.

Balloon Fight: Classic Action Series fun, you fly around popping other peoples balloons. Balloon Trip mode is where it's at though.

Clu Clu Land: Another classic action series game, except this one is really fucking hard to get used to.

MOTHER: Predecessor of EarthBound. Actually a Famicom game but your emulator should play it, and the translated version of it is known as EarthBound Zero.

Little Samson: Great platformer. Similar to Mega Man, but not trying to be Mega Man at all.

Kirby's Adventure: About as good as graphics can get on the NES

Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!

Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden 2/3: Good but hard as hell

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3

TMNT 2 needs six buttons tbh. Pretty sure TMNT 3 was actually built for the NES so I like that one more

I did not say I never played NES, I said I never had NES. Big difference. All my friends had NES.

When I was 8, I came to Canada from Zimbabwe and discovered video games. I bugged my parents for an NES, they said no. I bugged them more, and I got an Atari 2600. At the time I was like "... k, thanks but this is not an NES". Then SNES came out and I got the SNES, Super Mario World and Ultraman for Christmas. WIN.

OssMan
03-12-2009, 11:29 AM
Back to the Future is one of the worst games of all time, I only bought it because it bore the name Back to the Future. All you do is walk through some weird ass town which is sposto be Hill Valley and shoot bowling balls at hula hoop girls and these fucking killer bees are out to get you. Then you throw milkshakes at bullies and try to win Loraine heart and play some bootleg version of Johnny B. Goode and you get one chance to send Marty back to 1985 and you will probably fuck that up and if you do then you start from the beginning of the game. This game is probably hurts your left hand more than any game in history

Bad Dudes is like Double Dragon except it blinks like a mother fucker, isn't nearly as fun, and there isn't a real 2 player mode unlike Double Dragon 2 and 3.

It's worth one play through.

Well the roms aren't hacked to work on the DS. That would probably be a lot of effort. What they do is make an emulator that makes the DS act like an NES.

If they can map buttons, they can map the screen.

So have you been enjoying Clu Clu Land Funky Fly? Got bubbles goin nuts

Also I am going to take back a little bit about what I said about Little Samson not being like Mega Man. I never beat it but I think I'm at the end and there was this part where you had three blocks that you could stand on each one positioned higher and in a different position than the other ones and you were fighting a huge dragon. It was EXACTLY like the Dragon boss in the first Dr. Wily level of Mega Man 2. Pretty much the only difference was the detail on the dragon was way better and you stood on the left whereas in Mega Man 2 you were on the right.

Also the last bosses kept dropping these fuckin plasma balls like crazy and they were bouncing all around like Dr. Wily does in the 2nd to last level where he's in that crazy ship.
