You know what I miss...Mike Tyson's punch-out and Excite bike and Blades of Steel...all classics on the NES IMO. Wish I had a NES.

I'm fortunate enough to still have my original NES. It's cool that you can pick up most games for between 50 cents to $2.00 (although a few rare games go for up to $1,000). If you're interested, you can find one on E-Bay or Amazon for less than $50, or you can buy the dual NES/SNES system for around $50 too.

I'm still playing through SCARFACE and the GTA TRILOGY BOX SET for the original XBOX...does that count?

I am still playing several games such as QBert and Zaxxon on my ColecoVision and Myst and Riven on an old Windows 95 machine.

I picked up a N64 a year or two ago. I never actually tested it and have misplaced it since. I just recently nabbed Goldeneye 007 and Starfox 64 for the N64 again, but haven't tested them because I can't find the console!
![]() I just got the 3DS, which is pretty slick, and have been playing Starfox 64 on it. I played through once. The controls are not the same, but the graphics are beautiful, and they left the spirit of the game intact. It is a blast! Anyone have it so we can get in on some multiplayer? That was my favorite part of this game! I also garabbed Zelda ![]() |

The first one isn't very involved as an RPG, you need to talk to people in the towns for hints for what to do next, but that's about it. And you don't have to worry about a large party of characters either.

I'm not much on the turn based gameplay, although I'm a big fan of Earthbound for the snes. I do love me some Zelda games, for those who consider that to be rpg.

I've heard good things about the Wii Goldeneye, but I'm sure it's not even close to the original 64 version. I've still got the old one. I need to revisit it one day soon.

Throwing knives were great. So were explosives and the Magnum. My favorite was running in circles strafing. No game comes close to the strafing ability of this one. I played it for one night before selling my Wii. It was okay, but not the same game at all. Some of the same concepts are there, I guess. It's not the same without the N64 controller either. |

Just bought Contra: Rebirth for WiiWare, and picked up 6 classic NES games at a flea market this weekend: Ice Hockey, Blades of Steel, Hogan's Alley, Captain Sky Hawk, Tiger Heli, and Rush'n Attack.

Wow, Rush'n Attack. As a kid that game ate many of the quarters I dug up out of the couch.
This thread is good timing. I was just thinking about building myself a MAME machine as a winter project. Right out of high school, I had three kick ass jobs. I worked sales/tech in a bike shop, clerk at a Laser Disc store (showing my age, right?), and managed a small arcade in the Chicago suburbs that got to "field test" Midway and Capcom games before they were public release. Now, with the power of PCs and emulators, I can have 10,000 original, classic games on a laptop, and build a nice arcade grade USB joystick that will play them all! |

I beat Contra Rebirth yesterday and picked up Contra III: The Alien Wars for the Virtual Console. I don't remember III being that hard. I haven't made it past level three yet.
