I rarely visit this forum because I'm not much of a gamer at all, but I recently discovered this (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7233) Firefox add-on which allows you to play almost 2500 NES games through the Firefox browser. I played a few games, but then I stumbled across Kirby's Adventure, and realized I've never played any of the older Kirby games :O So ANYWAY Kirby's Adventure is fuckin awesome and I wish I hadn't missed this during my childhood and up until now.
But really, this thread is general discussion of the ol' skoo games. If there is one already buried somewhere in this forum then TOO BAD because mine will be better.

Oh god, there's no was in hell that's legal. XD
Kirby's Adventure is an incredible game and is quite possibly my favorite NES game ever (and Kirby ties with Samus for my favorite non-Pok

I used to hyave an NES, broke not too long tho. Also I never had an SNES, only a genesis.

Regarding the Firefox plugin: It is stupid and worthless. Just use FCEU, it doesn't just play "2500+" roms (most of which are probably hacks amirite), it plays damn near ALL Nes roms. This is just another stupid (although, 3rd party) Firefox gimmick that has about zero practicality if you actually take time to think about it.
I think I have an actual Kirby's Adventure cart; spectur i'll tell u wear my sex hole is if u tell me wear urs is >:D

I was gonna say the exact same thing. Why do people even release crap like that? They're almost definitely not machine accurate (as little as that matters :/) they only play a limited number of games, and they require you to open firefox just to play them. not to mention most things like that are extremely un-customizable and such.

Spyhunter and SMW.

I downloaded the plugin, it's pretty cool. Thanks sq3r for sharing.
Also ended up getting 4 more while i was there. Damn it.

You guys can't see ANY use for the add-on? Hmm. You don't have to open Firefox if you want to play the games, it's there for when you have Firefox open already and feel like playing a game. It's useful to people who just like to play a little NES without needing any emulators or ROMs and aren't 'srs business' about their gaming habits. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean it's worthless you know. I think it's a pretty awesome little thing, regardless of how "un-customizable" it is. Personally, I have MAME and kind of a large collection of ROMs for various systems myself, but I like the extension anywayz.
But this thread isn't about Firefox plug-ins, it's about those fun classics that a lot of us grew up with.
I have an actual NES, but only one game: Marble Madness. I got really good at it when I was younger, but I suck now :|

I don't have a NES. I had one WAY WAY back, but it's LONG dead.
I have no clue what games I had for it.
I think my favourite oldschool NES game is probably either Bubble Bobble, or Kickle Cubicle. Those games are just so damn fun.

i still have my snes since i was 6 or 7. 13 years later, I'm still playing it, same games and controllers, even. I've had my N64 since 1998. So, both systems are 13 and 10 years old, respetively. I find old console games to be WAY more entertaining than current ones (except awesome games like GTA 4)

Spyhunter and SMW.
We have a winner...SMW, perfect game for the insanely bored while still being a great game for the more challenge inclined. (getting 100% is pretty much impossible unless you've played it nonstop and know where every secret is.

I grew up on the Genesis (I got one for my sixth birthday and played it for six years straight before I got my hands on the N64), so I mostly lived on those games for a while.
Naturally, there was Sonic, but there were a zillion other great games, many of which went unnoticed; Gunstar Heroes, Mortal Kombat, Quackshot, Rocket Knight Adventures, Virtual Pinball, Vectorman, Herzog Zwei, and so on.
I still play retro games. I bought a SNES last year and am still collecting games for it. Need Secret of Mana, Tetris Attack, and Mario Kart and I'm good. I also buy classic arcade machines, especially since they go for almost nothing. I bought a Tetris last year at a local auction for $75; while I've since then had to resell it to pay off car debt, it was an excellent piece and a lot of fun to toy with.

Wow, $75? Nice. I'd like to collect old arcade machines myself, but generally I'd probably end up only wanting the rare ones that are expensive, lol.
