ORiginal NES

[tniem]

My old NES bit the dust long ago and I didn't there was a chance in the world that there were many left that actually functioned any more. Then I went to college. Two of the guys that live on my floor brought their NES that work.

All the old Mario, Zelda, Duckhunt, and original FF games have been played in great abundance. I actually missed the old graphics and sound with some great gameplay. Because back in the day it was all about game play and I really do miss that.

gee

so i guess i should feel lucky to have 2 working systems! lol! I remember when i was in third grade and mario 3 was the rage. i still had yet to get a nintendo period! ack!!
i stayed up last night for ****s and giggles and played Kirby's Pin Ball land. Put out a ****ty score, but i haven't been playing much since school started. I have to agree that computer versions of NES games suck. I remember playing Tetris on the computer and wanting to die because there wasn't any music nor did i have as much control over the piece. Perhaps that's why i've always perferred video games to computer games.
UR: so the pirated versions ended up in the shops in the malls?

Two...? ...Two NES' or one NES and one SNES...? My SNES still works...or @ least...a year ago it still worked......haven't switched it on since then...

[devilmunchkin]

so many faces!

two regular NES. My parents never let us upgrade above that...so that ALL we have. so at the same time it's admirable that we have 2, it's also pathetic.

...just take out the 8 bit-thingy of one NES...and stuff it in the other...and hey presto!...your home-made SNES...

[devilmunchkin]

what do you mean?

i seriously never had contact with snes, that's how pathetic i was. I got NES and next thing i know, i'm 19 playing with my boyfriend's playstation thinking it's the most wonderful thing since Cheese Whiz.

[Zopperoni]

Well...NES was an 8-bit machine...SNES was a 16-bit machine...so if you had two NES'...you could take 8 bits from one machine...and put it in the other...thus creating your own 16-bit machine...
BTW...the fact that you missed out on SNES...doesn't make you pathetic...

[devilmunchkin]

oh?

what does it make me?? sheltered ?? (and that i was...but that's off-topic stuff. ). so....did they do a 32 bit? how many bits is nintendo 64? That IS what came out after SNES right?
Whatever happened to the old Ataris? Is that company still in business?

It makes you techie...

so....did they do a 32 bit?

IIRC...they originally had the idea of making some sort of 32-bit VR thingy...but I never saw it

how many bits is nintendo 64?

64...(educated guess )

That IS what came out after SNES right?

Yes

Whatever happened to the old Ataris? Is that company still in business?

My guess is they gave up and formed the band The Ataris

They tried a few years ago to make a system entitled the Jaguar (around 94 or 95 IIRC), didn't do very well. They went into basically software, reselling old games like Frogger and some others. Now, Infogrames owns the rights to Atari and all their stuff, so beginning either this Fall or in the Spring all North American games from Infogrames are going to be under the Atari label because it is more recognized.


I am amazed that you have two NES, lucky bast...

[devilmunchkin]

what's a techie??

*slaps self in the head over not catching the 64 significance* wow. i feel DUMB! I've heard OF the Ataris, but never listened to them.
Tniem: well..technically i am a ...... Thing is, my mom has both system capitive at her house..plus, my lil bro and sis need something to play on too. Yes, they are regularly used in the house. THe oldest one, min, i've had...over 10 years. more like 11 or 12. and it works good. yesterday i remembered a game i have that most people won't remember, but the character might bring back memories, especially if you're from the US. I had a game Called Yo Noid. Remember that pizza hut or dominoes commercial character called the Noid?? lol! The guy in the red suit with bunny ears??? Anyway, he runs around new york city zapping mobsters with his yo-yo ( ) and has pizza eating contests. it's rather amusing. WHo remembers all the Castlevanias??? How many did they end up putting out anyway?
how much more advanced is playstation that NES64???

[November Adam]

I would say the playstation 1 isn't more advanced than the N64. They are about on par with each other.

Ah...good ol' Simon Belmont......actually the best memory I have of him, is his role in the cartoon Captain N ...

Not much...I prefer the N64...but I think the PSX has the upperhand...

[Sarxis]

I messed with an NES emulator last year. It was fun for a while, but then I realised just how much better today's PC games are, and how much gaming time I was wasting on that NES stuff.

[devilmunchkin]

didn't castelvania make their own cartoon at one point?

Why would one prefer the N64 if playstation has the upperhand. Is it just me, or it ps2 not THAT much more advanced than PS! outside of the dvd player and minutely improved graphics.
See, i don't see how computer games are better than video games for the sole reason that i have a really hard time playing with a keyboard as opposed to a controler. can't say the graphics are better on either because both have pretty bad ones and good ones.
