Nintendo - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Bamboozle · 11-22-2008, 03:08 PM

I mean the Nintendo, the original NES...not this fancy, shmancy Wii.

Those were the days...blowing on the cartridge…popping it back up…wiggling it into place...and then maybe five minutes later you could play. Now I can’t get my Nintendo to play for more than 10 minutes before it craps up and the pixels degrade into white. Sheer sadness…

What were your favorite games? Old Nintendo only! 8-bit all the way! I was a sucker for R.C. PRO-AM II and I love NINJA GAIDEN (although I still haven’t beaten this one! I’m pathetic!)

heehee, I had a nintendo also, and then a N-64 (64 Megapixels or Megabytes!! WOW!! not)

I cant really remember many games from the origional one, I got it just because no one in grade school was cool unless they had one. Mostly played the Luigi Bros. Was there tetris for the origional? I love tetris.

LOL..I rememeber all the blowing and wiggling. Hmm..maybe could have worded that different.
I loved that game console.
My fav was Mario 2. I beat that game so many times.
Heres the ones I liked..

Adventure Island
Zelda
Marble Madness
Megaman
Metroid
Shadow Gate
Paperboy
Contra
Double Dragon

It was so annoying trying to get the thing to work but i wish i still had mine, my favourite game was rainbow island, pure class. Got all the way to the last boss and just couldnt beat it, i bet i could now, might have to see if i can chase it down. x

You "youngsters" were so darned privileged! Is anybody old enough to remember the very first video game? I think it was called Pong (with sound effects)...it was a ball bouncing back and forth on the screen. We thought it was the greatest! If we only knew what was to come about 60 years later.

adore79 · 11-22-2008, 03:58 PM

Oh yeah, I meant Mario Bros. not Luigi Bros. I also remember playing some of the games Chi mentioned.

Dont think I ever played Pong.

Aysha · 11-22-2008, 05:31 PM

I remember pong. On caleco vision and atari..LOL

Bamboozle · 11-23-2008, 04:38 AM

Pong was before my time...My family had an Intellivision when I was around 4 or 5. When I was old enough, I played BurgerTime, Snafu, and B-17 Bomber. LOL.

Back then, that would have been like splurging on one of the newly released higher-end game systems that come out today. That wasn't a typical thing for my parents to do, but they did it. I've been playing video games ever since I was wee-little.

Wow...how could I forget about Punch Out and Contra?

Oh yeah, and I really liked Master Blaster.
