Favorite Classic Nintendo Game

[siccjay]

Someone mentioned it. It was pretty awesome. I used to make teams with all my friends and we would give them all ratings like we thought we all were. So awesome.

The only thing I didn't like about it was that it seemed that players hot and cold streaks were repetitive. Like the player I made myself would always start out cold every season and then end up hot.

Are you sure that's the game? I don't rememebr the cold and hot streaks. That was....RBI 2??

This was the first golf game that I really got into. It was a lot of fun. I have always maintained that any game involving Mario and cohorts is bound to be awesome.

This trend continued all the way through N64 with the Mario Party series, Mario Golf, and Mario Kart. I sunk so many hours into those last two that it's ridiculous. Those along with Perfect Dark and 007, but I guess that's a story for another thread.

Championship Bowling anyone?

Or perhaps another obscure choice, Adventures in the Magic Kingdom...a game much more difficult than you would expect.

Of course I used to play a lot of Jeopardy! too. It got to be somewhat automatic when you had 75% of the questions memorized, but it was fun to try to rack up ridiculous dollar amounts.

nath - awesome re: faxanadu. i got past conflate, but i just don't remember ever beating the final boss. maybe i did. i know i went back to that first store at the beginning of the game to get death.

i said baseball simulator 1.000 - still play it w/ my brother when he's around (tho the red team is rigged - 150 points wtf)

how did i forget bionic commando? and why did people think this game was super hard? i must've had a cheat guide to it - it wasn't that difficult for me. maybe if you are a super nerd like me and spent a half hour on the first level killing paratroopers for more life blocks.

little known fact about Bionic Commando - thanks wikipedia:

The original Japanese version of Bionic Commando placed the character in a battle against futuristic Nazis. The final boss was Adolf Hitler, who had been resurrected by evil scientists. All references to Nazism were removed from the American release: the swastikas were replaced by albatross figures, the enemies were renamed from "Nazis" to "Badds" (though the backstory in the instruction manual referred to them as Nazz) and the overall difficulty of the game was reduced. The final boss's name was changed to "Master-D", but he still clearly resembles Adolf Hitler. There is a notably gory ending sequence in which he is shot in the face, which was kept intact in the American version; an unusual move, considering Nintendo of America's heavy censorship issues at the time. All these changes remained for the European version, but the game manual still mentions Nazis. The story featured in the English version of the game begins with a search for Super Joe, who was the main character of the arcade version and Commando.

god this game would've been even more awesome with this

how happy were you the first time you learnt about the turtle shell/ stairs trick to get like 99 men in mario? but you had to be careful and count because if you got too greedy and took too many your game would be over...
