:headbang:

In 8 bit glory!

1. It's not the style but the content that counts.

Zelda was exceptional at the time, and isn't half bad today.

Now if only Bioshock was at a decent price...

2. I stand by my statement:

That the Mario, Zelda, and Final Fantasy series are to this day the most original and best stories out there.

From '85 to present, I've played every single game of all three aforementioned series.

3. Nice!

I used to have the rom on my old laptop, but I could never get past level 8.

But I plan on getting the FC Twin soon -- plays NES and SNES games. :woohoo:

[WindRavenX]

4. seriously, get the Wii

I used to be a ROM whore too, but the virtual console on the Wii makes things so, so, so super sweet it's not even funny.

6. Heh, little out of my price range.

FC Twin is only $40. ;)

5. How much is it to download old games?

Ninja Gaiden and Metriod might be reason enough to get a Wii.

7. NES games are 600 points

You can only buy 1000 point blocks, which cost 10$.

Most SNES and N64 games cost 800 points.

There are some absolutely fantastic NES games we've playing and just having a blast with.

9. oh gods yes

They have the ORIGINAL NES Marios--1,2, and the "lost" levels which was only available in Japan til now. Super Mario 3 should be coming out real soon, and I hope sooner rather than later because that is by FAR the best Mario EVAHHH

10. thanks! we will be downloading some games tomorrow

I can't wait to get my hands on the mario 1, it's been years!
