My favorites are Megaman 7 and Megaman Unlimited 

What's your favorite on the NES, if you had to choose one?

I haven't played 7 enough.

TMNT 3 The Manhattan Project (NES)

GREAT game; easy 8/10 for me.

Mortal Kombat 2 Arcade/Gen/SNES for the upcoming TGM video!

Dude this is excellently written! I didn't even realize we could do that on this site lol. Thank you SO much for sharing this, stuff like this is exactly why I made this thread.

How you feel about 5 is exactly how I feel about 4 and 6.

I'm fairly certain Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks contains the arcade version of Mortal Kombat 2.

I didn't start playing the Mega Man games until I was an adult but my favorite hands down has to be Mega Man 2.

Lots of people enjoy 2 and 3, particularly.

As I get older there's just something about the latter three entries that just clicks so well for me.

I ended up just completing the entire game instead of stopping for the contest, lol.

I didn't play Chrono Trigger or Earthbound during their heydays.

I've played zero of these titles, but I'm willing to try .

Oh yeah, never played Minecraft, Bioshock, or any of the popular modern computer RPGs such as Neverwinter Nights, Skyrim and Elden Ring.

Same.

For real, though; this is one of the few games I'd legit and honestly give a 10/10 with no hyperbole.

I can only think of a few games I'd give non-hyperbolic 10/10's to:

A Link to The Past

Super Metroid

Mega Man X

Super Mario Bros. 3

There's just something about Super Mario World that clicks the first time you play, and sticks with you to this day.

thanks. I could tell by the emoji it a joke. I get why people like the NES version, especially it they are playing on CRT. the fuzziness and warm colors almost make it feel like sitting around a campfire.

Have you tried the Famicom version? It has some changes from the NES version, like how any hit will send you back to small Mario, even if you have a fire flower

I've heard all about the Famicom version, but I've never personally gotten the chance to play it.

For the record, I have a dedicated 24" Phillips CRT for my NES .

Welcome to the party!

1. The e-reader levels are super cool. They're a hybrid of the first four Super Mario Bros games (not counting Special and SMB2J). They've got capes, and turnips you can pull, and level 1-2 from og SMB

2. Which models of GBA have you tried it on? All of them angle A somewhat, but GBA SP has some nice perks. Easily has the best d-pad I've ever used

3. The cape is surprisingly fun to use assuming you don't cheese the entire game with it (though pretty much any flight item in Mario games can be used to cheese the game to some extent. Calling the cape bad because it is overpowered is like calling warp whistles bad because you can skip the game with them). You've got a few seconds of free movement followed by main part of the flight. If you toss an item you can catch it during the main part of the flight, but this is kinda hard. The free movement gives you enough time to make adjustments and change direction, so if used properly it can be used to reach about as many places as the tail. Once you get to the main stage of movement you can go up, down, speed up, or slow down. You can also ram into the ground for an attack, or you can tank one free hit. It allows for magical moments, like weaving through a fortress and then carefully preserving the flight to take out a bunch of enemies

All these SMB3 fans talking about how SMB3 is better just because you cannot save. You don't have to save in the GBA version, you can still play the game in one sitting. Same goes for Super Mario World

I just want to ensure everyone knows I was being sarcastic with that response, lol. I love both games for different reasons. There's just something about NES SMB3 that just does it for me, despite the quality of life improvements on later versions.

Same for SMBW!

Great post, btw.

I was literally JUST playing this game all week lmao!

I prefer the GBA version for both

You mean you don't enjoy lack of save states for SMB3?! Heathen! /s

My OG post still stands lol.

Took a small break from MM6 to play Storm Storm, a homebrew Vectrex game.

I love Mega Man 6.

TMNT 3

Mortal Kombat 2

Easily a 10/10 title, no questions.

I refuse to vote for your new fancy-pants game technology!

Does anyone seriously prefer Sonic 2 to Sonic and Knuckles?

I am certainly NOT one of those people lol.

Sonic 3 + S&K is my favorite Genesis Sonic moment.

Do a poll minus Sonic games!

TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project (NES).
