the fact that secret of mana, final fantasy III and especially Chronotrigger, perhaps the greatest rpg of all time are not on your list is shocking.

That had to be a level. If not, at least he's got great taste in SNES games.

Nuff said. Techno Bowl today is completely unplayable. It was fun when you were a kid, but ever since the million Maddens and other series the genre has evolved way beyond it. Mario 3 on the other hand is still considered the pinnacle of 2D side scrolling platform games. That's why it was rehashed on the SNES and ten years later the GBA.

RBI Baseball should be on here (maybe it was eliminated?)

I'm biased toward the Tecmo Bowls and Blades of Steel because that is what my grandma had at her house when I used to go over.

Apparently 2p2 and the rest of the world ranks Baseball Stars above RBI Baseball. We're out of luck I'm afraid.

I think it was you who made this same point in one of the other threads. And I said in response that I would rather play NES sports games with friends than play any NES adventure/RPG game by myself. Some of us who aren't advanced gamers like the simplicity of the old games.

I'm not against your argument that SMB3 should be regarded as the better game, but please stop telling us we would not enjoy playing NES sports games today. A lot of us still do.

Duckhunt. It came on the cartridge with mario.
I had the special nes gun and used to own so bad at that game.

Turtles was awesome too.

[/ QUOTE ]

This was the best part of the game. If you won the fight the other team went down a man for a little while until he recovered or whatever.

There was a soccer game for NES where if you slide-tackled the opponent succesfully they would fall down on the field injured. This was easy to do so there were usually a few players scaterred around the field. They were little chunky guys, so if anyone knows what game I'm talking about, please let me know.

I would rank the players...

Luigi... his long jumps made life so much easier.
Toad
Mario
Princess... she is sooooo slow

Re: **Official Greatest NES Game of All-Time** -Sweet Sixteen
 

Princess can float though, Luigi's all spastic and overmoves by a few feet every move.

Re: **Official Greatest NES Game of All-Time** -Sweet Sixteen
 

Ya, I always found princess to be dominant.

I meant not a true Mario game in the sense that after the strong demand for Mario 1, creators were scrambling for a Mario 2. They were nowhere near a final product, so they re-made another game recently released in Japan called Doki Doki Panic and changed the characters to Mario Bros. characters. Not sure if this is common knowledge since I barely play video games and know it, but I always found it pretty interesting.

I loved Zelda II, but Tecmo Bowl was an awesome game. I didn't vote on that one because I couldn't stand to knock out either one.

Japan's SMB2 came out 2 years before USA's SMB2. They thought the Japan SMB2 was too hard/similar to SMB1, so they remade a Japan game Doki Doki Panic.

this is correct.

after playing smb: the lost levels i think it was a pretty good decision...its just too hard and too similar to smb.

Vote Double Dragon II!!!!

how is SMBII beating out DDII, that's a joke. SMB III should take this down in a landslide.

Why stop there? Looking around on Wikipedia, it seems to me that Ultima:Exodus was ported to the NES in '87; Dragon Warrior was released in '89. Not sure when Wizardry and Quest of the Avatar were ported, but those are definitely older, too.

The only reason that I voted for TSB over FF was the fact that Dragon Warrior was the first RPG I played, and THAT is what got me hooked. FF may have been the first "modern" RPG that you could mix and match your party, but IMO the breakthrough in RPGs was actually DW3, with the multiple storylines that all come together (AND VIDEO POKER!).

All of the examples I quoted, which are older games than FF, had that feature.

Final Fantasy was definitely fun as a kid, but I think people look back on it and think it was better than it was because the SNES games and VII were so damn good.
