Your Gaming Sins!

Haha. I just think the NES sucks as a system.

... and I used to like you.

I think I'm just too young (23) to enjoy 8-bit games. I did play the 3 sm games and the first 2 zelda games on an actual NES (since sold) but I just don't get people that have tons and tons of NES carts when many of the games were just awful.

You're the same age as me, and I grew up on my NES. Got mine in 1991, and played the shit out of it basically until a couple of years after the N64 came out. Then it got set aside for "ZOMGLOOKATTHOSEGRAPHICS" until I finally dug it out of the closet and started playing it again.

It has a lot of great games. And honestly, the ratio of good games to bad is probably about the same as what you would find on most systems. I can probably think of at least fifty games that everyone and their dog should play.

It's not that I don't like simple games. And imo the NES is 99% awful games.

I got what you were trying to say btw.

I'm just a hater, but honestly look at the games...and try to play them...it can be hard to stomach for the most part. I know it was for me at least.

I play my NES all the time. Used to collect the games and played through almost all of them (I beat about 80% of my 249 games) before I had to sell them to buy baby stuffs. Which I still regret doing. Massively.

Not every game for the NES is a gem, most definitely. But there are a lot of fantastic games, and it's one of the few systems that I constantly find myself going back to. I haven't touched my N64 in years, other than a couple of playthroughs of Ocarina of Time, but I'll still boot up my NES about three or four times a week and play through Batman, or a Mario game, or Zelda, or Metroid.


When it comes down to personal preference, sure, I can see the NES not being your choice system. But there are good games for it. Most of them of a much greater replay value than the stuff that gets pumped into the market nowadays.
