What are some of your stories and memories with the Nes ?
>>11990969My much older brother playing with me late at night for the first time. ( we didnt hang out that much since he was an adult)Paperboy and Super C.I remember us laughing at the guy holding/punching his dick at the end of paperboy. (dont remember why it was funny but we cracked up)And super C he kept getting his ass kicked during the first top down section with the tanks.
>>11990969Too many to count so I'll just go with the earliest one. I remember it being maybe 3 years old. 1987 or 1988. My uncle had just gotten an NES and let me play it when our family visited. I was completely fucking mesmerized by the game. It's probably my earliest memory. My parents ran out and bought one of our own not long after and I remember my toddler sister grabbing one of the controller cords and yanking it off the entertainment center.But really, the system and it's library were SUCH a staple of my childhood. Then in the late 1990s I got into NES collecting and I have a TON of memories and stories stemming from that (it was a real golden age for collectors). I could go on and on.
the first time i saw one irl was prob 1987 at my dad's friend's house.we played a ton of smb. i can still remember it pretty clearly even though i would have only been 4 years old. stomping on the koopas and kicking them was my favorite thing to do.they also had double dragon, which i liked a lot too, but mario was way more fun. the mission screen music in dd stuck out to me as well.
My earliest gaming memory is of me being at my uncle's house sitting on a skateboard in the living room playing duck hunt on my cousin's NES
>>11990969My friend telling me in 1st grade that he jumped over the flagpole in SMB and the king came out of the castle. Never fell for bullshit after that.
>>11991015Do kids still make up total bullshit like this? I'm sure they do. My favorite was the kid that said if you beat Mike Tyson in Punch Out (an impossible feat for us kids) that there was an epilogue where you were walking down the street then Tyson approaches and challenges you to a street fight and that was the real final fight.
I got my dick sucked while playing Tecmo Superbowl back in '92
I was going to share a picture of me, a 4-year-old, in 1991 happily playing with the Nintendo Zapper gun for Duck Hunt. But, it was a bitmap file, and I'm taking that as a supernatural order to not go through the hassle of converting it into a jpg via Paint, so I won't.I enjoyed Nintendo NES. I was a small child and I don't think I beat any game on that console.
>>11990969I was genuinely offended that many of the arcade "ports" were not actually ports of the arcade namesake. I don't mean stuff like because of the NES' limitations they made the boss smaller, or trimmed down a level, or a certain enemy now only strikes at you from some restrained area.Ninja Gaiden is not Ninja Gaiden.
>>11990969bump n jump taking turns with the gf at the time was a good memory
Birthday parties. Where I lived everyone knew Double Dragon, in my area it was bigger than Castlevania or Mega Man, every kid had at least one game of the trilogy and playing two player Double Dragon 1-2-3 (fighting mode for 1) was an obligatory birthday moment. At a birthday a mine a kid gifted me his copy of Double Dragon 2.Another time a kid brought a multi tap at my birthday and we played 4 players Super Off Road. Couple years later another kid gifted me Mission Impossible for no reason other than he knew I'd be a good home for it and I still love the game.Beating SMB2 and 3, back then the games felt HUGE and beating them was quite an adventure.
>>11990969playing through SMB 3 with my dad many many nights. and beating Kirby for the first time as a kid. we skipped snes, so during that time I picked up a lot of games pretty cheap compared to what they sell for now. going to a friends place and seeing contra for the first time and thinking it was pretty cool, his parents wouldn't let him play it because it was to violent for him. although nothing blew me away like seeing Road Rash on Sega Genesis for the first time at a different friends place. His older brother and his friends were playing it, and I thought it was the tits and getting to play for a short time that day has always stood out.
Back when I was in high school, I had this group of friends I’d play video games with. One time, I went over to one of their houses for a school project. Turns out, his dad had an NES and Contra. I told my friend I could beat the game without using a single continue or getting a game over. We played a few stages, but my friend kept dying and stealing my lives. His dad noticed and told me to play solo to see if I was really as good as I claimed. I beat the game, and I remember my friends looking at me with respect while his dad just smiled. That afternoon, my friend’s dad treated us to some beers, and we hung out talking about video games with him. It was the first time an adult treated me like an equal.
>>11990969Mine was stolen and sold for drugs. Yes I'm still mad
I bought an NES off ebay I think in 2008. I got mega man 2, LoZ, tmnt 3 and of course mario/duck hunt. At the time I had a Wii and it was actually cheaper to buy these games off ebay than it was to get them on the virtual console. Anyways I got really into my NES and I still have the same one in my livingroom today.I use an everdrive now, but I still collect loose cartridges for fun. Recently got xevious which is a favorite.
>>11990969Contra was the first ever game I played. Played together with my dad and we managed to beat it once. Besides that I played a lot of mario and sometimes a hockey game, also with my dad. Then my dad and mom split up and he bought me a snes and mario and donkey kong. He never kept in touch much and died when I was 20.
>>11993603Druggies are yummi but NES is yuckie.
>>11990969My dad drinking his beers and playing megaman 2.
My family didn't get one until 1990 but I remember playing it a ton in the 80s at other people's houses, mostly at my childhood friend/neighbor's house, played a lot of SMB and TMNT and other random games. Also at my rich aunt's house in NYC for holidays, I remember playing Super Punch Out and Paperboy with my cousins. Once we got our own and started renting games constantly (from Video Library if anyone remembers those, like a red version of Blockbuster), I got so many memories. I'll never forget playing Mega Man 2 for the first time. Third game we ever rented, my mom actually picked it out as my brother and I thought the cover looked gay, then we put it in, I pick Crash Man thinking that's who I was playing as only to be confused as to why I was some little blue guy, but man were we blown away as we continued playing.
>>11990969I played one at my cousins house when I was 12. I thought it was interesting but boring. Duck Hunt is like the only game I enjoyed. By then I've already been exposed to PC and arcade games.
>>11994747Also this was in the early 00s
>>11990969I was 7 years old (1999) and my neighbor was having a yard sale. He saw me looking at his NES and games and sold everything to me for $5. It was dozens of games. For months all I played was NES.Sometime that winter it snowed. There was a heavy coating of several feet and the town I lived in wasn't equipped to handle it. So everything was closed. I spent a week straight alternating between playing in the snow until I was soaked to the bone and going through NES games. That week I played Kirby's Adventure, Zelda 2, and Dragon Warrior. I always associate them with snow falling outside while being warm and cozy inside.
Was it the summer of 1991 that it first went on sale? That was when we picked ours up, the Americans I lived with had dozens of games so it was quite an education at the time. After returning home it was impossible to find those titles again so haven't thought about it much in the last few decades.
Bump hump
Me and my brother rented Ikari Warriors once and I don't know if the game glitched or we accidentally put a code in but one of the players stopped taking any damage from enemies. Unfortunately in that game you get ammo from killing guys and we weren't being careful and ran out of bullets so then the enemy couldn't hurt us but we also couldn't hurt them. We kept going for what was probably less than 10 minutes but felt like hours of repeating tiles and bad guys. We turned it off and went outside and that was the last time I played Ikari Warriors>>11995109That sounds extremely comfy.
