[Other] Old Nintendo 8 bit games

anyone remember the 8 bit Nintendo,or Famicom as the Japanese know it
you know the original video game console

whats your favorite 8 bit Nintendo game

categories are:
1)music
2)gameplay
3)graphics

-music wise mine is a tie with Journey To Silius&Batman
honorable mention: Wizard and Warriors

-gameplay wise my choice gotta be Mario Bros 1-3

graphis wise cant really say much
didn't really care about the graphics back then

 

to late 70's and 80's kids 8 bit Nintendo was everything
i think

 

I have built a mame cabinet. .it has over 70000 games and includes the famicom emulator as well as snes. mega drive . Dreamcast.ps1.arcade etc etc..stunning edition to the house..old school retro gamer here...and old gaming is class

 

a true enthusiast

have you played those games above what i posted

 

i have to admit never ever seen, heard of that game

 

Mario 3 is still up there as one of the the best games i have played, loved that game as a kid.

 

same here
man i could play that game for hours and hours
that game had so much in it

Super Mario Bros was the first and still one of the best
but my interest fell for when i learned all about warping
and easily scooted the game to the end in matter of minutes
time after time, yes you could warp in 2 and 3 but in those
it didn't matter so much

i liked Super Mario Bros 2 a lot too
it opened so many new things
you could pick up your enemies
and there were keys to find and all kind of
other stuff and other secrets

 

I demand pics

 

*,its kinda simple mate tbh.....first of all the parts...

1.PC (old) or if new (as in up to date) to run PS2 games on.
2.Arcade sticks,2x8 way sticks and maybe a 4 way (pac man etc)
3.Buttons
4.an ipac keyboard encoder
5.Screen
6.Wood/bezel/paint etc.

* this is not mine but similar,mines was smaller*




Its a great project guys tbh....took me a couple of months last year.

This program runs the games,its a frontend called hyperspin.

* I always wanted a tabletop mame cabinet but I'm not handy at all, you do commissions?

 

Nice!

I think I remember talking to you a few months back about the lcd pinball table

 

Is this the nes the one before the snes?

If so I've got one up my loft still alongside my snes. My favourite games for it were Mario 1 and 3. Truly amazing games with Mario 3 the best on the console.

Action in America was one of the most fun games, first really shooting game I got into.

Special mention too duck hunt, loved playing that with my gun attatchment.

Special mention also to the legend of Prince Valiant, teenage mutant ninja turtles and excitebike.

 

8 bit NES was the original and yes came way before the SNES
the original game console where it all begun

ah the the legendary Duck Hunt,yet at times extremely annoying
i had really strong feelings about one particular dog

ah TMHT lots of people say its really hard game
but not for me,i guess i was so good

 

Music: The intro tune to Double Dragon 2 was pretty good and the overhead scenes tune in the original Turtles.

Gameplay: Mario 3, no other NES game comes close (even Mario World was poor in comparison).

Graphics: Gremlins 2 or Mega Man. Capcom could do some awesome things with the colour limitations the NES had, especially at the clone level near the end of Mega Man.

Personally I'd recommend against console emulation for the older systems, they don't seem to run at the right speed and you can pick up the systems and games for peanuts these days. Keep a good CRT telly around because old games look * on modern tellies.

 

For anyone who wants to play them all the games can be played here

I've spent hours on that site just playing random games. Mostly Mario though

 

The moon theme from duck tales on the NES, best piece of 8 bit music ever

 

It was like the highlight of the twilight(not the weird teen movie saga)
when you reached the Moon Stage(level) and heard that music
your jaw dropped and only thing that you wanted was
just listen to it

all of the Batman stage music was perfect
Journey to Silius music was just brilliant

 

Blades of steel was brilliant on the nes

 

This. Also River City Ransom and Double Dragon III.
