Last NES game you played?

[bob]

I just got done testing about 60 NES carts that I got a hold of.
Cleaned the contacts, pop it in a retrobit console, make sure it fires up, rinse, repeat. So today, between eye-bleeds, I was able to muscle through about 30 seconds of 60 different games. The last one being Silk Worm (not terrible), which I actually tested in my genuine, toaster, NES.
During this madness, i came to one conclusion...these retrobit machines are garbage.
Built like shit with terrible connections.  Worst part about it, the pin virtually locks the game in and it feels like R2D2 going through a meat grinder when you finally pull the game out.

There is just an unparalleled satisfaction of real NES hardware.
I still have mine from childhood, and on my third 72 pin.

So what was the latest, actual NES game you played?  (No ROM/emulation/VC)

[TR0N]

When the famicom was out it was little samson 

[tpivette]

Dragon Warrior 2... still haven't gotten through the Cave to Rhone

[RuninRuder]

Can't remember...  probably Castlevania or Tyson's Punch-out or Tecmo Super Bowl.

[chany60126]

The last NES session I had was with the Taxan version of G.I. Joe.

[Tatsujin]

Probably jpn contra.

[SuperDeadite]

HOLY DIVER

[PunkCryborg]

gradius ii and castlevania iii (famicom version)

[futureman2000]

Castlevania 3 nes this morning

[PikachuWarrior]

I think it was Jeopardy a few years ago. I keep my NES games in individual zip-loc bags, after cleaning the contacts with alcohol.

I have two official Nintendo game holders and then one rubbermaid container that holds 40-50 NES games. No boxes unfortunately. I do have a good sum of manuals for the games though.

[Dyna138]

On actual hardware? Damn it's been a long time it's hard to remember. I have an orginal NES as well as the top loader but not the real estate to keep them hooked up. I play some of my favorite NES games on the Wii VC for the time being. The last game I played through was Faxanadu. Love that damn game, probably my favorite NES game next to Castlevania III and the original Zelda.

[roflmao]

Life Force.  I wanted to show my son how much better Salamander on the PCE was.

[Issun]

Kid Icarus <3!

[Mishran]

Super Team Games using the Power Pad with my 5 year old. I died not even a quarter of the way through the course. She ran straight through like a champ. Sucks getting old(er)...

EDIT: Typed the wrong game... fixed.

[turboswimbz]

Mario about 15 years ago.

[csgx1]

The last NES session I had was with the Taxan version of G.I. Joe.

Worth buying?  Looks like a decent run 'n gun and I was thinking of hunting down a loose copy. 

I played Rolling Thunder for the NES a few months ago.  Didn't get too far, but the controls are pretty good.

[jperryss]

Mighty Final Fight. This morning.

[Arkhan Asylum]

legacy of the wizard

[TheClash603]

Mike Tyson's Punch Out, 6 months ago.

Don't know why I haven't touched my NES much lately, just haven't been in the mood I suppose.

[psychobear]

Duck hunt with my son last night.

It is a fun action packed game. Each Joe has their own unique attributes such as jumping ability and gun type. I'd definitely hunt one down for a decent price. I was actually able to find both versions of G.I. Joe for the NES. I've played the Capcom version a little and it plays very similarly to the Taxan version.

[csgx1]

Thanks for the insight on G.I. Joe games.   I haven't played either, but they look fun.  They must be decent games or maybe not common based on prices they sell for on fleabay.   Might have to get both if I can find them for a decent price.

[Tatsujin]

rollin thunder for the FC is a quite good port of the arcade. at least it plays just like the arcade. also grafix are quite good for a namcot FC game.

[DragonmasterDan]

I was playing Popeye earlier

[Tatsujin]

Popeye is my wifey's most favorite FC game

2nd and 3rd are mario bros. and donkey kong.

[KnightWarrior]

Mighty Final Fight

[seieienbu]

I was playing The Immortal a few weeks ago.

[shabba]

Master Blaster. I can never get enough of that game.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

One of Tom's hacked NES roms on the PCE - probably Contra.

[TheClash603]

Popeye is my wifey's most favorite FC game

2nd and 3rd are mario bros. and donkey kong.

I grew up playing Popeye on the Atari 5200 (and arcade), so I can't enjoy it on any other system.  Absolutely love the game though.

So did she with Popeye on the FC, so she can't enjoy it on any other system

That's at least what she said O:)

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Darkwing Duck  (Why couldn't Turbo's Darkwing Duck been anywhere near as good as this one?)

[Tatsujin]

Because they had decided to rather make a farkwing duck.

[Mishran]

Because they had decided to rather make a farkwing duck.

Almost makes you wonder if the failure of the Turbo here in the states wasn't planned. We got some good games, but some are just plain bad. Of all the games that they could have ported over or developed here, why did they pick what they did? Ok, back on topic.

[Mathius]

Kirby's Adventure (Famicom version)

[Nando]

T&C surf designs.

I feel like a total dumb ass, the surfing dynamics escape me.

[CPTRAVE]

Metroid,and I passed the game.

[RoyVegas]

It's been years but I'm pretty sure it was Super Mario Bros.  No matter how many times I've played it its always been great. A true classic

[VenomMacbeth]

Just played through MDBTroid on my PSP.  Very nice sprite hack of the first Metroid!

[esteban]

Just played Jackal (NES). Konami rocks. ALWAYS A GREAT GAME.

[Ninja Spirit]

Famicom Mighty Final Fight

[VestCunt]

Princess Tomato. Good game, but probably doomed to be another RPG I've started and never finished.

[esteban]

Played some more JACKAL, but had to turn off NES because my brother called. HE IS FUNNY AS HELL so it was OK. I will play Jackal later.

I love running over humans in Jackal. It sounds sadistic, but it is really satisfying. Nice little touches in this game.

[EvilEvoIX]

MegaMan 3.  The music alone brings me back.  Has to be the best console music of all time that series.

[Nec.Game.head]

The last NES game I played was T&C Surf Designs. I freaken love everything about that game! The awesome music, challenging levels and the old school vibe it brings back. I use to love rocking the Town And Country T-Shirts when I was a little dude back in the 80's. Anytime I play that game it just takes me back !!

[DragonmasterDan]

I'm playing Goonies on Famicom right now (well it's paused).

[esteban]

THAT SHIRT IS AWESOME.

I'm playing Goonies on Famicom right now (well it's paused).

I can't remember if I ever beat that game. I borrowed it from a friend...

[esadajr]

Last week I was playing Kirby's Adventure, the plan is to finish it before the 20th anniversary in May.

I record my sessions using a top loader, but my original NES is still working after almost 25 years and no 72 pin connector change. And I used it heavy in the late 80's and early 90's.

Nowadays, you're really lucky if an X360 survives after 5 years of moderate use.

I still have my original NES from '85. I'm on my third pin and it's dead again. I have over 125 NES carts and no way to play them. 

[roflmao]

I've had the same NES for over 15 years and I've never changed the 72 pin connector.  It's worked pretty well for a solid 10 years but became pretty erratic after that.  I followed the instructions in the YouTube link above a few years ago and it's been working like a champ ever since with every game I thrown at it.
