    The late 90's were a sweet spot for a lot of nostalgic stuff these days. I remember going to Kay-Bee Toys in Salem, MA during the mid-late 90's and scoring stuff like a CIB NES Advantage for $10, model 2 for $70, bin games CIB NES stuff for $5-$10, etc. Same with FuncoLand! Place was a goldmine in the late 90's!

    None of them, lol. I say this as a rabid WWF/WCW fan from 1990 onward. Even the best wrestling games were barely a 7/10 IMHO. My first game on the Genesis was Super Wrestlemania, too! If I had to pick ONE, it would be either RAW or WMTAG.

    Resting!

    Thank you guys so much for checking it out! I'll be writing articles for The Gaming Manual, as well. I'm thinking my first entry might be a little guide on how to trigger the Torch on day 1!
  6. Nostalgic Machine
    As of right now, it's 50/50!
  7. Nostalgic Machine
    I suppose you could say that.

    Lol! I had the problem of once having several copies of the same game, for the same console. It was nice when it was something in demand like Battletoads, but not SMB/DH carts LOL. Didn't Pat the NES Punk make a chair or something out of those?
  9. Nostalgic Machine
    AWESOME list, thank you so much!

    Even as a kid myself, the baby screams were an incentive to play another game, not push through, lol. SMB 3 has always been the ultimate snow day game for me. I guess I've programmed myself to enjoy the straight through aspect of it. I remember when the GBA port came out and had the save feature; that was convenient in that aspect. I never cared for the SMB All-Stars versions of the first few games either, and that has nothing to do with the addition of the save feature, and everything to do with the control switching up.

    You gotta pay the poll toll. Super Mario Bros. 3.
  12. Nostalgic Machine
    Yoshi's Island is a visual and auditory nightmare IMHO. It's like a bad trip. Plus crying babies. No thanks.

    FRIDAY THE 13th NES - KILLER 23 MIN 3 DAY RUN! Arguably my single-best run of this game, ever. I get the torch immediately, sweater day 2, and wait for day 3. I get so lucky with that Jason pattern. If we didn't capture this, it wouldn't be believed!
  14. Nostalgic Machine
    Wait until you see the insane run of F13 I captured that I'm about to make a thread on.

    I won't lie, this is like, the only time I've seen an even remotely positive consensus on lack of a save feature being a positive in this game. Usually everyone claims it's the reason the game isn't perfect.
  16. Nostalgic Machine
    Dark Queen from Battletoads all the way.
  17. Nostalgic Machine
    Valid critique. ALTTP is my favorite game of all time. I don't even register the graphics as cutesy, they just look like then-modern NES adaptations. I totally understand where you're coming from though; some of the artwork from that period if kind of dumb. The original LoZ is my favorite NES game. SMB 3 is second. Friday the 13th is third. This is exactly how I look at it. Maybe I just grew up with enthusiasm for games that required long sitting time. I guess years and years of playing the original LoZ pre-internet will do that to you,.

    Super Mario Bros. 3 all the way. My reasoning is nuts, because I prefer NOT having a save feature. Yes, that's right, I said it. I prefer SMB 3 because it lacks a save feature. You play that game straight through, or you use warp whistles and miss collecting powerups. You had to be good, or really good. No other options! SMW is a cake walk in comparison. The controls are great but I always found the game almost plays itself. I like the grittiness of SMB 3. Also: This.

    Same with the Virtual Boy for me. I immediately saw it as a gimmick. I was 7, lol. I legit remember them selling CIB at Toys R Us for $19.99 less than one full year later. GameCom and N-Gage games were always, always in a cage bin in the center of the department. People wouldn't even steal those, lol.
  20. Nostalgic Machine
    Exactly. At one point I had over 480 NES carts, in order, on my media shelf. That was the largest of any gaming collection I've ever had, far and away. Next closest was like max 50 games, and I don't even remember what console that was. Probably GBA, honestly.

    Congrats OP! It's not a race. It took 35 years, so what? The fact that people who have beaten it millions of times over still go back to it in 2020 is proof that it's timeless.
  22. Nostalgic Machine
    Anything and everything GAME.COM from the late 90's. Even as an 10-11 year old, I knew that thing was trash.
  23. Nostalgic Machine
    I'm a Zelda fan boi (ALTTP is my fave game of all time, yes, STILL), and I NEVER CONSIDERED A ZELDA ALL-STARS. Genius, good sir. Well done. I'm a HUGE fan of ports, even when it's at the risk of a developer mucking it up (see the MK games across the Genesis, SNES, etc.). I'd be in support of something like Chrono Trigger coming to the PS4 and newer gen consoles. It IS one of the greatest 16-bit RPGs of all time. I always laugh at people feeling like they need to choose between Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, etc.; play and enjoy them all!

    Some people get a thrill from collecting complete sets. Others enjoy the gaming aspect. Some enjoy both. It's important to go in the direction that makes the hobby both fun and rewarding for YOU!

    DOOM, DOOM II, and DOOM 64.
