I had
a bad childhood.
If
only I played Zelda... ever, then I
wouldn’t have ended up screwy. Instead I played with my “sports entertainment”
action figures and in terms of video games... I tried to master Battle City.
But
fuck it right?
RIGHT???
Except
for Zelda and Metroid (what the hell is a Metroid), I played the games listed
here. Sure, I’m hoping to see a lot of those repetitive never-ending games that
I usually own because back then, those things cost a sweet price of Php69.75.
Anyway,
back then, if you own a Nintendo Entertainment
System (NES or Family Computer) console, then you have a lot of friends. I
remember having friends because I have a 64-in-1.
Sure, I lost most of those so-called friends after I returned the cartridge to
my classmate but hey, it was still an awesome Christmas vacation!
Did
you have a game cartridge that didn’t have a protective cover? Did you fought
with a person because he says you’re a pussy on (insert random game)? Was
studying worth a weekend’s worth of insane gaming?
Then,
crappy or not, you’re listed as a gamer.
Even
if technology is bent on making super awesome games, nothing beats those
linear, two-dimensional games of the 80’s and the early 90’s. I had a Simpsons game (Bart against the world)
that I
couldn’t finish because I don’t want to play for more than five hours. The only
time I finished a Mario game was a couple of years back when emulators existed.
I
finished Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles 2, and After Burner.
That’s
all... or maybe I’m wrong.
The
awesome Screwattack made a list of
the best 10 NES Games (subscribe to his Youtube account and his other endeavors).
Check
these babies out!
I
personally would like to see Castlevania
on the list as well as those awesome eternal games like the original Mario Brothers, the other Mario
Brothers game where Luigi floats like an idiot, Twin Bee, Kage, Punch Out, Bomber
Man, Double Dribble, Ice Climber, Ducktales, Adventure Island, Urban Champion, Lode Runner, Excite Bike, Mappy, Circus
Charlie, 1941, Mr. Merry, and others.
But
still, you should be happy on how this list turned out.
Game
over.
