Notes: A first-person role-playing game. Takes off pretty well from the computer game, but is quite difficult for less experienced players. Generally good, but it takes some time to sink in before you get the hang of it. It is an incredibly large game. I just discovered from a fellow VKCC compatriot that there was a guide you could get in the mail. Good luck finding it, if you don’t have the connections you can pretty much forget it. It really helps to have it.
Notes: Action game that seems cute and addictive at first but ends up getting pretty annoying. Only the true NES collectors can stick it through.

Notes: An excellent NES rendition of the arcade game Final Fight. Graphics have been stepped down and have that “super deformed” feel to them, but are great overall. Nice detail and gameplay that’s easy and fun to get into. Basically follows the same story as other versions, and you get to play as Guy, who is not featured in the Super Nintendo version.
Notes: The greatest boxing game for the NES, even though there aren’t very many. Excellent programming, graphics, and a difficulty level that is fitting. Gets pretty rough by the end, but is well worth it. Recently, complete copies have been fetching ridiculous amounts, especially those from Hong Kong, but try to keep it within the range I suggest above.

Location: 1, 2
Notes: Some sort of stupid puzzle thing. I really don’t remember. It’s gay.
Notes: Action game taken from the arcade version. Plays exactly the same and is quite addictive. Simple concepts organized to their maximum benefit. Shoot at the incredibly quick millipede before it reaches the bottom of the screen while attacking/avoiding other giant insects.
Notes: Action/adventure game reminiscent of “Kid Icarus.” Lots of fun, an early gem that seems to have been forgotten. You collect a variety of items to aid in your quest, also reminds one of “The Legend of Zelda” in a way.
Notes: Loose this game is absolutely worthless, thus the low-value. It requires nearly every component it came packaged with to be used properly. One of the greatest innovations for the NES but not well received due to its original price. Comes with a keyboard and teaches you to progressively play piano. From playing for over ten years, I can tell you it’s not easy and really gets you accustomed to proper tempo and timing.
