Kicking Back and Enjoying a Simple ol' game of Super Mario Bros.

[War4ever]

mario bros, super mario bros, donkey kong, dkjr...the pacman series..especially super pacman.....pinball machines...tempest, dragons lair...space ace..

i have played all the old standup arcade games until MK2 came out, it was so cheap the ai.....and i can say that i mastered virutally every one i played...

they are loads of fun......

easy to beat as most of it is memory or pattern/reflex based....

the golden age of video games.....

1980-1986......these games gobbled a few quaters, then eventually gobbled more time than money

video games were so much easier to beat back then lol

[Nubclear]

Mario? FUN?!

Mario is one of the most boring games ever! I mean, jump on some mushroom thing......Argh.

I hate it. DEATH TO MARIO!!!!

Sonic is better than Mario.

I liked North vs. South for the Nintendo...that was original. Got to rob trains and stuff.

Good games for Genesis were: Mutant League Football and Hockey, and General Chaos.

I'm missing my AC cord for my Nintendo...where can I find a new one?

I agree, even less brains were required for Sonic, you just find stretch to start rolling and just roll through the level...that was so cool to watch.

Franky, if you go to a store where they sell classic Nintendo games and controllers (there's one at my local mall), they might be able to help you.

Anybody remember the original Legend of Zelda? That was cool.

Try Ebay. You may have to buy a whole new console, but how expensive can those old things be?

Check Ebay and search on "NES power adapter". It looks like they generally go for 5-10$US.

Please tell you were joking FP. Sonic was rubbish; anyone that wasn't a complete vegetable could finish it the first day they got it, with a day or too more of replay value.

Compare to SM3 (a 16-bit NES game compared to a 32-bit Megadrive game) and Sonic still loses easily.

[Felch]

32 bit Megadrive? WTF?

Sonic was fun. And maybe you're bull****ing trying to show how badass you are because you can beat games the day you get them and all, but man, I never dominated Sonic like that. I usually tried to find all the hidden stuff instead of just racing through the levels. And playing two-player was fun as balls once Tails came into the picture.

war4ever man, you are on crack. Games these days let you save practically anywhere, and give unlimited lives and all kinds of nonsense. You had to master old games to beat them. World 8 of SMB3 was ****ing insane.

My bad, 8 bit NES against 16 bit Megadrive. It's not a fair comparison, but the NES game (here SM3) still wins on all counts IMO.

[Felch]

Oh okay. I always compared Super Mario World to Sonic, you know, just for fairness. I agree that Mario is a better game, but Sonic has that mindless "I'm on a head full of acid and can't handle anything too hard" kind of fun to it.

[Felch]

I'm sorry if I came across as a bit harsh, I just take my memories very seriously. Sometimes they do things to me in places that mommy doesn't want me to touch. I love me memories.

There are a few 'tricks' to the game.

For a real challenge, try beating SMB3 in one session without using any powerups, warps or special effects.

No 'secret' areas either to bypass difficult sections of the level.

I always had a hard time beating the puzzle level on world 6.

I did the whole thing through one Bank holiday without warping.......took bloody hours.

And world 8 was insane. I did many practice sessions where I warped to world 8 to master it before attempting the marathon.
