The NES

The original Nintendo Entertainment System was an amazing gaming console. Developers created rich worlds and experiences with very little in the way of processing power. I remember the day our family bought the NES. My brother and I sold a ton of toys at our family garage sale, including our original Kenner Star Wars Toys. In hindsight letting the Star Wars toys go for little to nothing was poor form, but later that day we were Super Mario'ing it up. We even found the hidden warp area at the end of the first dungeon, but not knowing you could go down the tubes, we died when time ran out. Classic...

I play many original Nintendo Games using various emulators to this day. I still have the NES and all the games, but you have to jiggle the game up and down and blow on the contacts to get them to work.

So in honor of the NES I will be posting screens and thoughts on some of my favorite NES games. If you have a favorite, leave a comment and I'll be sure to mention it. Hell if you leave a comment I will mention you. That's right you on my fantastic blog.

    i'm cooler, because when i got my first NES, it didn't come with a game. it came with a book full of the 15 or so games that you could get with the NES. One of the only games we could get in the Glendive, MT Kmart, was Karnov. Now THAT game was bad-ass for someone accustomed to an Atari and a couple games we made on our TRS-80. Lookout!
