One of my favorite NES games was Heavy Barrel. My brother and I played it for a looong time together. Decent early shooting game IMO.

Snake Rattle 'n' Roll was another good multiplayer NES game I love.

I wish more companies would rerelease their old games on the newer consoles like the Rare Replay collection. It'd be nice to play Morrowind with a graphic update and optimized for the Xbox One.

Just played through DuckTales 2. Never had this game to the NES as a kid but I did play it extensively on the Gameboy. So much so I got the two possible endings several times each.
On the NES I“ve beaten it twice now but I haven“t found all the pieces of the map. Last time I found all but one and this time I found three pieces.

A nice game with good gameplay, great replay value and awesome music. Even the very last music at the endscreen is kickass! smile.gif

Today I got the correct version of Dr Mario in the box. It didn“t come with the manual and sleeve but I already got that so I put it all together and finally I have a complete Dr Mario again! biggrin.gif

Had it as a child but since I was a bit stupid in the face I got rid of it. As I did with more games. Bah.


I also have the Murican version and as I have the 10NES chip disabled it works on my machine but at a much slower rate (audio-wise). So much fun to play it again with the music at the correct pace smile.gif

Just got Bugs BunnyĀ“s Crazy Castle for the NES. Already have it for Gameboy but thanks to The Nerd I had to get it for the NES too biggrin.gif


Reckon I should clean and test it soon, at least so I can give the proper feedback to the guy who sold it.

But it looks to be in good shape at least and the label is nice.

Ah the old nes my favorite games on it where:
1: The Legend of Zelda
2: Mario Bros. 2 and 3.
3: Willow.
4: The Goonies 2.

I'd put Zelda 2 on here although I like the game, it's the one Zelda game I haven't beaten even to today.

Willow's an odd game that loosely follows the movie. It plays like Legend of Zelda and in this game Willow is more of a swordsman then a sorcerer in training. It does have a note from the film but plays at the very last few seconds of the end credits.
Conshaq does a nice playthrough of the game.

Long time no buy! smile.gif


Kinda want to dive back into buying NES games again, mainly Metroid and Rescue this time. I'm in no hurry though but these are the one I'm looking into. I've played Metroid but not Rescue (I think...?) and it would be neat to add them to The Collection ™ smile.gif

Watching a video walkthrough of the nes Konami game Mission: Impossible. Amazing how they got the stealth in this game just about right while it was severely lacking in the nes version of Metal/Digi' Gear.

Just wanted to throw this out there since what I discovered got me a tad excited... biggrin.gif


Back in 2013 I bought a copy of the rare NES game Mr Gimmick. The game was only released in Japan and Scandinavia and also very late in the 8-bit era and for these reasons not many copies are out there. Well, at least not compared to say Mega Man or other games.
Anyway, I bought Mr Gimmick for 2500 SEK and when I just now looked at the auction site there were a few more up for sale, for 5000 SEK each!!! ohmy.gif ohmy.gif

That's not to say they are easy to sell or even that they will be sold for that price, but to see my purchase double in value like that really got me hot and bothered bigsmile.gif


Edit: I just looked at another game, Action 52. Same story there! Bought it for 2500 SEK and the two ones up for sale now; 4500 and 3900 SEK, respectively!
