NES game cover art appreciation thread

[Sir San Diego]

Damn!

So many classics.

Simon's Quest, RBI Baseball, Batman, TNC Surf, Metal Gear..

I had Gyromite with the robot, but it moved too slow for the young playa.

No one mentioned Tecmo Super Bowl yet? Bo Jackson and Randall Cunningham shut that game DOWN!!!

And game genie was the only way thst I beat TMNT.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

All four of them are Raphael. Wtf? This wasn't even, like, in the beginning of Ninja Turtles. Totally excusable today.

All are wearing red masks because thats's how they were drawn in the comic books.

This game never ends, does it?

My goodness, this thread and these two games in general remind me of how close me and one of my older cousins were back in the day. Any two player game he had, I was right there with him playing.

Glad to hear, the Game Genie and a turbo controller for a jump in the sewer (turtle van level) was the only way I beat this game. remember the video game show saying this game was impossible to beat without the Game Genie. Had numerous amounts of dudes say they can beat the game without the Genie, but they never got pass the swimming part.

--Anyone know about the slide move on Tecmo Bowl with the nose tackle? The defense has to have a 3 - 4 setup. Every time I ran a season, the nose tackle always won MVP, they would have like 150 + sacks, I never lost a game. Cats wouldn't play me because they couldn't figure out what I was doing and said I was cheating.

I use just drive around in the cab ditching the weasels. Forgot about the game play.

 

[elpablo21]

CLASSIC. Enough said.



What you know about this though? NOTHING! Cold *** game. You could even make your own levels.

 

The music was cold too

 

[Sir San Diego]

How could I forget to mention Bionic Commando? I loved that game. I was proud of myself when I beat it.

And Lobotomy, you're a fool.

Never knew this was even on NES but remember I had it on PC with other LucasFilm games (Monkey Island, Loom, Zak McKracken, etc.)

Jaleco I think also made a baseball game that tried to take salary into consideration I think...

I had Skate or Die on the PC back in the day. I hated that game.
