Not anything worth apologizing for.

This is your list. That I think some things may be missing is irrelevant, but it can be a conversation starter.

That you have a duplicate means you can cram more of your favorites in, if you like.

Which was your favorite?

[–] cloudless@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Definitely Balloon Fight. The control scheme is perfect. Two player coop. Simple but fun, and with the right challenge.

I wish it had more variety in the level design.

What are your NES favourites?

[–] Cipher22@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

My favorites were Ninja Turtles, Final Fantasy, Paperboy, Zelda, Rygar, Castlevania 3, or Kid Icarus. At least those ones got massive amounts of play time.

[–] cloudless@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Kid Icarus is a little too difficult for me, but I think I should try again and see if I can get better.

I only played TMNT on SNES, perhaps I should try the NES one.

I never tried Paperboy, is it good?

[–] Cipher22@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I never said I was good at them. LOL. I enjoyed them all. For the time they came out, they were amazing to me.

I think the part I liked about TMNT was that it had multiple play styles in one game, so it felt like more.

Paperboy was a racing game with a timing mechanism. You ride a bike along a set course, dodging obstacles like the racing games of the time. However, you have to time throwing papers at or in mailboxes to get points to pass stages.
