NES is 30 years old today/Appreciation Thread

[NZA]

i got it sometime in the late 80s. double dribble, bubble bobble, and wrath of the black manta were some of my favorite 3rd party titles of the day. only the ps2 can come close in terms of the stranglehold on 3rd parties

my mom got me this shyt in the 90s.... playstation was already out. remember taking a cartridge to my cousin house to play on his super Nintendo and him looking at me like you can't play that on here.



had so many games though since nobody fukked with it no more. i regret giving it away.

I think alot of people do

Luckily they aren't expensive...YET. got a store in the mall selling a Super Nin for $55

I remember getting it for my 13th birthday, (86) and I got the Mario/Duckhunt package, I almost cried. The difference between that and Atari was

GOAT system as far as I'm concerned.

i bought a super Nintendo off of Craigslist for $35 a few years back. i think it's over been over a year since i played that bytch though. nes would be too hard for me though, i don't even remember the names of most of the games i liked as a kid.

The first TMNT dislike always seemed like it's revisionist history to me, my friends and peers seemed to generally like it despite its flaws, sequels were better of course...but the first game was never terrible or shytty.

the first game was no revisionist history...first video game that made me utter profanity

first memory of nintendo..christmas of 1988 or 1989..came with the gun and super mario bros/duck hunt hooked up to the TV in the living room...my uncle came over to hook it up while me and my brother took our afternoon nap
i was actually with my mom when she bought the NES. she got it at Child World (my 1980's childhood )..me and my brother were preoccupied with playing the display of this below

It was a great Christmas

lol I feel you man, the game is hard as fukk, but was it actually shytty/bad?

Other than the difficulty and non-existent tie in to the show, it's a solid experience.

I remember playing it for hours on end when it dropped. Friend even had a Nintendo power guide that showed all the maps and places you could rescue the turtles...had me cause never would have known that without them tips.


I never really saw hate until the whole retro review craze.
