Most Impressive Nes Games

[AtariBrian]

Playing nes games again regularly has been a lot of fun. Its probably been 20 years. I forgot about the blinking power light thing. Amazing what a q tip and some rubbing alcohol can do. I had a couple friends over last night and we played nes for about 2 hours. I introduced them to the colecovision. What great fun!

Take it apart and disable that chip . I cant stand that blinking

Just remembered... most of Sunsoft's NES titles had really good music. Check out Gremlins 2 and Batman: Return of the Joker.

Sadly, Return of the Joker has spiked in price over 200% because of people using it to create Mr Gimmick reproductions.

I played some clash at demonhead today during lunch. Kind of like little Samson. A lot of 8bit fun.

This was always a fav of mine back in the day. Vic Tokai made some very good NES games -- Golgo 13 and Golgo 13: Mafat Conspiracy, Conflict, Clash at Demonhead and others.

Came home tonight to play some nes after work and none of my games would work, just a flashing red led . Of course I immediately contacted yurkie to get a sweet modded nes on its way. Thanks todd! Still enjoying my yurkievision as well!

Clip pin #4 on the lockout chip (google it) and clean ur carts. That NES is probably as old as Methuselah so it won't hurt to replace the 72-pin connector either. I'm on my third one now...

Thats because you replaced instead of cleaned. The cheap stuff today never works as good as original stuff, thats for everything.

I tried the boiling water trick, whole nine yards, still didn't work unless I use the Genie. White screen 98% of the time (because the lockout is already defeated I don't get blinky screens). Drop in a new "death grip" pin connector for 10 bucks and I'm good for a few years.

I once layed 10 systems on the floor and made an assembly line. I removed all 10 pins, boiled, baked, and replaced. I also brasso'd the board pins and coated it w/deoxit. Everyone worked like a charm. I also popped the lockouts while they were open.

 

Cleaning the board pins is just as important as cleaning the connector pins. Not sure if you cleaned the board or not but most people don't. It's kind of having a dirty window on both sides, cleaning one side then wondering why you still can't see good out of the window.

 

Some people disagree w/brasso but through many trial an error I know for a fact brasso gives performance results. Plus I coat w/deoxit gold anyhow for protection. When I say board pins I do mean both sides not just the top side of the board.

For my time and money yurkie does a great job!

[Andromeda Stardust]

Whatever. The "death grip" connector loosened over time and my NES works fine 90% of the time with the carts fully inserted and depressed. The 10% it doesn't, Q-tips and alcohol on the cart contacts takes care of that. Since I bought two spares after several pins on the first replacement connector broke, I've still got one more sealed connector to use in a couple years when/if the current one craps out.

Whatever.

 

Don't get mad. If you prefer new pins thats fine. Just tossing my preference in the mix.

[Andromeda Stardust]

I'm not mad. Besides, my old cart connector got sodomized by Mr Game Genie one too many times...

[+adamchevy]

Anyone ever heard of dragonbox? I'm thinking of buying an everdrive from them.

To this day, I have no idea what f-cked up my NES more -- using the Game Genie on it so many times over the years, or spitting on the cart connectors to get them to work.

[Andromeda Stardust]

Dragonbox? I get my Everdrives from Stone Age Gamer. I currently own a Gold Famicom Everdrive, Super Everdrive, Harmony cart, and a RetroUSB NES Powerpak. Genesis will likely be next on the list. SAG goes out of stock often due to supply and demand, but if you sign up for email notifications and check regularly, your perserverance will pay off.

^^Dragonbox = Germany/Europe;

Stone Age Gamer = United States.

There's a sequel named Fire & Ice.

 

And a great GameBoy version - Solomon's Club!

 

Impressive NES games? Wow, so, so many... Am I late to the party suggesting Mike Tyson's Punch-Out?

Yes, unique game, and a Kickstarter was funded recently to make a official sequel for it.

[retroillucid]

Did we says the Battle Kid series ? (BK1 & BK2)

I think it's one of the best homebrews ever made
