[citation][nom]zak_mckraken[/nom]Wow, reading some of the personal favorite titles really bring back awesome memories. I'm glad people also enjoyed some most obscure titles like River City Ransom and Ducktales.I'm from Quebec so, as a kid, my english wasn't as good as it is now (videogames is the main reason why I'm bilingual today), so I had a hard time playing most RPGs which were, ironically, my favorites. I still remember Dragon Warrior with "ye olde english". I was like "WTF mom, that game can't spell properly!"Fortune smiles upon thee.. Thou hast found the Death Necklace![/citation]
How could I forget Dragon Warrior! That game was amazing.

Come to think of it, in a few years, will we still have an analog connection on our tv's ???

Does anyone else remember the robot? You could only use it for the gyroscope games...and there were maybe only 3 or 4 of those...all of which sucked. If I remember correctly, pushing one of the buttons on the control pad activated the robot to pick up a gyroscope and set it on one of two platforms which corresponded to one of the two buttons. Once the gyroscope was placed on the platform, the platform lowered and THEN something would finally happen in the game. But all you had to do was have someone push the panels down with their hands to get the same effect so the gyroscopes just became an annoyance. I never hear anyone talk about the robot these days...I wonder how long it actually lasted in stores and what it would be worth if I had actually held on to it.[/citation]

You could use a controller in the second port- the two gyroscope pedestals were mapped to A and B.

I used to see how many times I could smush the scientist without actually killing him. If I slipped, the prize was a fart noise that I thought was far funnier than it actually was.[citation]

Anytime someone tells me "all licensed games suck," I hold up the original NES Batman game as my argument. So hard but so damn good...
