I quit reading after I read the whole thing and realized River City Ransom was not included.

No North vs. South is also disappointing.

fatty fat fat · April 30, 2009, 11:02:14 AM

Enraged that I beat that game on single player and the ending is "try beating this with another player!".

Track & Field? I liked the one on NES with the "power pad". We'd get on our knees and just pound the pad buttons with our hands, made the game much easier.

Played that recently, on my PSP. Activision came out with a "classics" game or w/e. It's pretty cool, plays 80's music in the background. It has achievements that you can unlock, for Ice Hockey if you won a game it unlocked the original Ice Hockey commercial, it was funny.

fatty- I think the Olympic Games for Atari was called Decathalon

and LOL @ Saul for not using a pencil to mash the NES buttons to run faster

2600 was so disappointing for my generation. You'd get to a family friends house (no friend of yours would own one of these, if he did he wasn't your friend), or a relative, or whatever and you'd ask if they had any video games? They'd bring you downstairs and dust off this POS and you'd be like what the hell is this, how does this work. Finally get it to the right channel on the TV and start to play these awful games. They really did suck if you were used to the NES.

I had a friend who had Sega Genesis, that was awesome, although we used to get in arguments about which was better, SNES or Sega. Pretty much the original video game fan boy argument.

The first Ninja Turtle game on NES should have been included. Not the arcade one but the one where every time they jump they flip a bunch of times.

Frustrating game. The dam part was pretty tough.
