FCE Ultra v.76 -- Windows

Great emulator packing lots of options, good user interface, great rom compatability, and no bugs as far as I know. And also it is very small in file size.

Nesticle v. x.xx -- Dos
- 326Kb
Nesticle used to be the best emulator around, but now it has its rivals, though it still retains excellent usability, speed, and compatability. The fact that it is Dos based shouldn't be a detractant as it runs very well in windows with the dos4gw attachment. It sports a decent GUI and a good number of features, and all in all, is a very good emulator.

I approach most sports games on the Nes with some trepidation. Most of the time they just don't cut it. Bases Loaded 4, a baseball game obviously, should have spent more time in the dugout before it was released. Albeit it has very pretty graphics for the Nintendo, actual voice overs for sounds like "strike", "safe", and the like, and some good roster management. However, the game has questionable physics and questionable actions, and only average gameplay. Let me explain... My hitter sets up for a bunt. Luckily for me it connects. Much to my surprise the ball rockets to the outfield and drops between second base and the center fielder. I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't get to it because the fielding is not computer controlled for you and when you control the guys, you control 'em all at once. Oh well. Its only Nes anyway.

I ran into this game and downloaded it simply because of it's hilarious name. I expected it to be of an adult nature and I guess technically it is because there is some naked chick at the bottom of a tube, emitting colored bubbles. I think you have to line up similarly colored bubbles like to Dr. Mario in order to progress, but it isn't interesting or fun. Bad gameplay. This seems to be mostly some kind of joke.

This platform shooter betters many of the shooters for the Snes even. Contra has excellent gameplay, great graphics (for Nes anyway), and good sound. It perfectly captures the spirit of shooting aliens, humans, and gun turrets with lasers and spread machine guns. Very reminiscent of the whole rambo type scenarios this game probably pulls it off better than the movies. Or maybe not because I don't recall Rambo ever killing alien spawn. At any rate, if you want some good action and good playability that can also be used in 2 player mode, this is the one for you.

This is the only tetris-esque puzzle game I've played that was ever any fun. A bottle full of virii, a bunch of pills, and a Mario that apparently figured plumbing was a boring profession, so decided to become a doctor instead. Neat, crude, but effective graphics and great gameplay make it an "almost classic" Nintendo game. In case you were wondering how the game works, you have pieces that fall down (pills actually) that are split colored, from a possible 3 colors. So you have say, red on one side, blue on the other. Line 4 or more colors in a row, and they disappear, along with any virii (plural for virus in case you've been wondering since my first use of the word) that are part of the line. Easy yes? Quite. But fun too.

One of the original RPG's for the Nintendo system, it still has its own charm, though in todays world, the features are lacking. You control a single character for the entire game, venturing across the world and encountering turn-based battles. You learn some spells after reaching certain levels, and basically, that is the game. There are very few actual subplots, only two really (save the princess kill the dragonlord) but I find it fun to play once in a while.

A big step up from the original, DW2 allows you to eventually find 2 other companions for your one character. This is overall a much more interesting game, with more items, weapons, spells and diversity of monsters. Also, you don't go one on one against monsters anymore, since the battles rotate around multiple enemies. Basically, this is the beginning of fun in the series.

The third incarnation of the venerable series. DW3 allows you to begin by creating 3 allies at the beginning to complement your character. At any time you can return and create a new ally from a selection of about 5 or 6 different types of characters. The story is your basic kill the evil overlord and bring peace to the land. But it takes another step up from the previous game by adding a slew of new items, monsters, spells, and such. This is a good RPG.

Undeniably the best game in the series, and in my opinion, the best RPG on the Nes. Yes, even better than the Final Fantasy's. Let me explain. Firstly, there are 5 chapters to the game, each detailing characters backgrounds and stories until you reach the 5th chapter, where your character can meet and join all the previous characters. You don't control those characters, since the computer does, but I found this makes it more enjoyable. Also, there are a ton of new things in the game to keep the interest high. At any rate, get this game now if you are a serious RPG player.

The first of three Final Fantasy's for the Nes, and the only one to be released in the US, this is probably the worst of them all. That's not to say that this one is completely horrible, it just doesn't hold a candle to the next 2. At any rate, I had better tell you what this is about instead of constant comparisons. Basically, you get to choose from 6 types of characters for your party of 4. Each has strengths and weaknesses obviously. The story afterwards is boring, but it begins the crystal theme that sequels use as well. The battles are tedious, but they get the job done (turn-based by the way), and the graphics are pretty sucky. But oh well, if you wanted to know what the first FF was like, here ya' go.

Here we have the real sequel to the first Final Fantasy. This was never released state-side, so it had to be translated by some rom hacker people. At any rate, square changed the character advancement system. For the worse. Now, instead of the tried and true (albeit somewhat unrealistic), experience -level up - experience - level up, system, they opted for the "use this ability, its skill goes up" system, so theoretically, anyone can excell at anything. This is boring and not fun to screw with. However, thankfully, everything else was upped for the better... The graphics, the story and the battles. Now if only they hadn't screwed the advancement system so much...

Don't ever say that square doesn't learn from their mistakes. They noticed that the previous character advancement system was stupid, so they tried something new. If you've played FF5 for the Snes, you'll feel right at home with this one. I'm talking about jobs, for the uninitiated. You have the option of changing your character to any character class (from a choice of many), at any point in the game. Its not as detailed as FF5, but it is very similar. The story takes a step backwards from the previous game, but oh well, its only Nes. Graphics have been overhauled and now the battles are better than ever, stretching the Nes to its limit. And yes, this has been translated into english.

Another request I recieved. I knew the name sounded familiar. I played this on the snes and liked it. So not much to say about this one. For the NES the music isn't bad, control is good, and the story is also good. You take control of A gargoyle named Firebrand. Your goal is to figure out what the black mysterious light is and save the world by jumping, flying, and breathing fire. Now when you first start up this game it looks like a RPG but when you start the fighting it is a regular side scroller. The only regret is the not being able to fly over the cities like in the SNES version. It gave me the feeling of being set free. I mean it made me feel buff and like i could kick anyones ass. *That should make me sound manly once more*

This was a cool cartoon back when i was a young'n. I had all the toys to go along with the series too. The firehouse, the Ecto 1, even the jumpsuit and proton pack, with the foam electric ray thing. It was some good fun. This game, I also had. Unfortuneatly, I can say fairly confidently that this is the worst ghostbusters product ever released, and quite frankly, its one of the worst video games ever manufactured. The graphics are absolutely horrible, and the gameplay consists primarily of driving around doing who knows what, visiting such intriguing locales, as the gas station and some haunted apartments, where the control is very, very bad. I should probably be punished with fines of up to $250,000 and/or 5 years in jail for putting up this rom.

I approached this game without high hopes. Anything with Kung Fu in its name has to be bound to fail. When I started this one up, my lack of high hopes was proved... correct! Once you play this one for 2 seconds you'll get the hang of it. You run right and left, with a guy that can kick and punch and jump and squat and kick and punch while jumping and while squatting. Lots of guys that apparently do not enjoy your presence in their dojo attack you and fight dishonorably no less while you squat and punch their groin, giving you 100 points. However, because this game is so simple, and relatively pointless, I can't hate it too much. Better you d/l it and try it for yourself, I mean hey, its only 29K.

A short fat man with a droopy moustache bursts from the nearby saloon and strides menacingly in your direction. Suddenly he stops, only ten feet from you. You eye one another, measuring strengths and weaknesses. He fingers the gun in his holster. A gust of wind swirls dust around your feet. Before you can react, he speaks. In japanese. Never having heard this language before, you examine your options and reply. In japanese. He retorts. In japanese. Tired of this conversation, you pull out your gun, aim at his eyes and fire a shot. Hiscore-$10000. Totalscore-$0. Hmm... Interesting... At least there are kids to shoot in this game too.

This game feels more like an action timekiller than anything else. Its actually kind of addictive at times. If you have no clue, this game consists of controlling a little elf with a sword, or other weapons if you have 'em, and hitting monsters enough times to kill 'em and hopefully get money. If you like the numerous sequals, try this one out and see how it all began.

An adventure game clearly created for computers and ported to the Nintendo, Maniac Mansion has few redeeming qualities. Perhaps the worst of it is the control. Moving around an arrow cursor with a gamepad or keyboard is definately not fun, but having to constantly move it slowly around a list of actions at the bottom too makes it unbearable. The story could theoretically become interesting, but having to pick up every godamn object in the game, juggle it between party members and use each one on everything from stairways to grandfather clocks in the hopes of discovering some way to progress is mindnumbingly dull. The only positive thing about the game is that the graphics are effective for the NES, and each usuable person has their own unique and interesting music.

Keep the request rolling guys. Well anyways everyones favorite blue android is back. With as many games as Final Fantasy you have to wonder when the android will be sold for scrap to make a new fridge. Anyways you fight the evil and sinister Dr.X. Once again you fight 8 robots in a specific order. The control is good (although I am used to being able to slide down walls), graphics are good, and the story is the same yet is still enough to make you want to beat the new guy to a nice bloody pulp.

The point of the game is to slowly piece together ugly line drawings by playing little mini-games, and then guess at what you have revealed once time runs out. I believe it supports up to four players, and maybe it is fun with four players, but I was not playing with four players. In fact I was playing with four less than four players. Yes, I was playing alone. One particular mini-game involves moving trampoline holding fireman left and right in order to save fat pajama-clad men somersaulting out of burning windows. It is strangely gratifying watching them hit the ground rather than adjusting the firemen into a position to save them.

An interesting little racing game... It has excellent control for the Nes, very decent graphics to suit its purpose, and a real sense of upgrading and racing. So you've got great gameplay, good graphics, and good feeling. I don't think there is much against this game except perhaps it is a bit repetitive after playing it for the 200th time. That and the fact that your car changes for no reason after you win a certain number of races.

At first glance, the name of the game may have you thinking this is some kind of space or aerial combat action game of some kind. When you play it, you are horrified. It turns out this is an attempt at a beat-em-up game. An attempt at best. What games like this need is great gameplay and playability to shine. Unfortuneatly this has neither. And bad graphics too. And worse than bad sound. So why would you want to play this game? Maybe if you are a massachist and are into self-torture. Or maybe if you somehow get some nostalgia from games like these. Or maybe if you want 1 or 2 laughs at horrible things.

The only reason I posted this rom was because I actually played this thing when I was 5 or 6. I probably could have mastered it even if I were 2 or 3, but no matter. This game is a handy tool with which you can keep your shape recognition skills and numerical counting abilities in check. And perhaps your color coordination too. Also you can look at Bert and Ernie. And maybe The Count. And, uh... whatever.

The Nintendo Entertainment System may not have had unbelievably good graphics even in its hayday, but I must admit that this is the worst looking NES game I've played. I've seen Atari games better than this, and that's no joke. Also, the gameplay is silly. The controllable character can't fall more than 3 inches before he flashes, alerting you to his death. Besides that, the point of the game is to pick up things in a multi-tiered cave, reaching other levels via a mineshaft elevator to the left. This game may have been more fun if there was a death animation after falling too far, but instead all that happens is you flash mid-air after falling 3 inches and then get respawned sans a life somewhere.

This happens to be the first video game I ever played. Way back when i was 4. Or perhaps 5 or 6. But whatever. Its still fun to play thanks to the good gameplay and the wacky environments. The guy that created this, and subsequent marios (can't remember his name... Miyamoto maybe?) must have been on speed or some other halucinogen when he thought of this craziness. A plumber that gets bigger when he eats a mushroom? Throws fireballs after eating flowers? Stomps on enemys' heads in order to save a princess? Whatever... Anyway, this is a classic, and no collection is complete without it.

Probably the most unusual of the Mario games, this one actually wasn't ever supposed to be a mario game. It was released in Japan as some kind of game about some dream or something. Anyhow, it got turned into a Mario, and it marked the entrance of certain enemies and characters, such as princess toadstool/peach, and Toad, who is a walking mushroom. Anyhow, you get to control any of the 4 characters that you choose (from the afformentioned two and including mario and luigi), and play around in some levels. Not the easiest game in the world (was there a truly easy game for the NES?), but it still is relatively fun, since the good gameplay keeps things interesting.

This is probably the best platform jumper released for the Nes. The graphics are/were quite good for the dated machine, and the gameplay is quick and fun. There are tons of levels, and if you've ever played Super Mario Land for the Snes, then you'll know exactly what this game is like. Pick a level on a map screen, jump on monsters' heads and save the world! What more could you want?

Back in the day when this thing was new, I didn't think it was much fun. Probably because of the insane password saving system. Copying strings of letters and numbers on a scrap of paper, only to lose it 28 seconds later isn't very enjoyable. But thanks to the advent of the save state, this game is actually playable. The gameplay involves exploring in first person, a leveled maze full of foes and treasures. Swords and Serpents doesn't do anything better than other games, but it meshes things together relatively well. Inventory management and casting spells is a hastle too, but the fighting can be interesting.

An interesting, and infuriatingly difficult game. Good luck beating it. If you do, I salute you. Anyway, the graphics were decent for its time, and the concept, fairly new, maybe. You run around a city map, jumping into sewer holes from a top down perspective (or go into buildings instead), at which point it turns into a sidescrolling platformer. You get to play as each of the 4 turtles, Leonardo, Raphael, Michaelangelo, and Donatello, and after a bit of progression, you pick up a Ninja Turtle vehicle of some sort which has missles that can blast through barricades. Funny, I don't remember that from the cartoon, but whatever.

Not really at all like the previous game, this one happens to be more fun, as they decided to make it a beat 'em up instead. Jump around, kick, and slice 'n dice your robotic opponents in your quest to save April o' Neal from the evil tin-can openin', 'i don't need no swiss army knife', Shredder. Anyway, the control is good, the graphics are some of the better stuff from the NES, and the gameplay is solid. If you don't know who Bebop and Rocksteady are though, then this game probably isn't for you, but hey, Nintendo games are always about Nostalgia nowadays anyway.

It would be sacrelige not to put up this game. Of course, some people can't stand it, but all the rest love it, or something. In my case, I find Tetris to be very fun and a great time waster, and if you've never played it, or heard of it, I'd be very surprised, since, after all, its a classic.
