Has the NES aged well?

[J2d]

Outside of Gunsmoke and Punch-out there is nothing that I wan't to play on it so no.

[Johnny Undaunted]

Yes, it has aged well. Fuck anyone for voting otherwise. And IMO, the NES Mega Man games (especially III) are much better than the SNES ones (including Mega Man & Bass).

With certain exceptions! One of which being the "Track and Field" genre, or whatever people call it.

World Class Track Meet (100m dash in 3 seconds? RIGHT HERE!)
Caveman Games (In this day and age, mate toss would probably be banned)
Crash and the Boys: Street Challenge
Uhh...Track and Field! WHOO!

Super Team Games was a lot of fun back in the days. I had a quite a workout, this was loooong before DDR ever came into the picture.

Power Pad pwns.

The NES is still my favorite system of all time. The amount of great (and still to this day playable) games is amazing. I buy games for it all the time, and play it quite a bit. I still get blown away by what some games accomplished graphicly. Look at games like Batman, Super Mario 3, Shatterhand, and Dracula 3. They look great! I will still be buying NES games for years, and I see no reason to stop playing it.

Shatterhand! That game rules.

[SearchManX]

I remember Shatterhand, I played an emulated version of it. Another game I fondly remember is Project: Vice, though I've never played it, Nintendo Power hyped it up a LOT.

Chip N' Dales + Duck Tales are awesome Capcom-Disney collaborations.

And what about Shadowgate, Uninvited, and Deja Vu? (I've only played Shadowgate, but the others sounded good from what I've read)

[Clash!]

I was never very fond of the Shadowgate type of Adventure/Rpgs or whatever they are. Just kinda boring.

And isn't Project: Vice a light gun game?

Castlevania III (Japanese version especially) has awesome music. I listen to it in my car quite frequently. Ditto for Megaman II.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who listens to game music in the car.. I take it you burn MP3's and such to CD-R?

[Cheebs]

Well, in the case of Castlevania I actually went and imported the official OST CD. I know, I'm a dork like that. As far as hard-to-get/non-existant soundtracks, I use emulated sound formats in Winamp (nsf, gym, sfc, psf, etc.). They are smaller than MP3s and sound much better. Then I burn them to CD.

No entirely, it's more like a Castlevania/Ninja Gaiden-esque action game with Spy Hunter-esque driving and Operation Wolf-esque shooting sequences throw in. Think Bayou Billy, only it's actually good.
