No, I'm not talking about a woman's rack at the age of 50, I'm talking about 8 Bit NES games. So many of those games seemed like masterpieces when we first played them, but how kind has Father Time been to them now that 20 to 30 years has passed since they came out? I don't think many people will argue that the majority of them have aged as gracefully as your average pornstar's meat curtains. Still there are some gems out there. The Super Mario games really seem to have stood the test of time, as well as the Legend of Zelda and a few other high profile games. But what about the others? What about those games that didn't get a dozen sequels over the years and have faded away from our immediate recollection?

So I've decided to go panning for gold this summer, and have chosen 100 NES games. I will play them until either I've finished them, I'm not longer having fun, or I've decided that the particular game sucks donkey ass and will not be getting any better no matter how much time I put into it.

Basically I've got a lot of time on my hands this summer and not enough to fill it with.

I actually played that version now that I think about it. Can't remember much about it, but I'm sure I shook my head at the graphics.

They both look nearly the same to me.

Makes me wonder what's happened to Double Helix though. Amazon bought them to do first party development for their bomb of a microconsole. That didn't seem to work out.

Yeah for sure. Such a shame too because they did a great job in reviving Killer Instinct as well. It seemed like they were on a roll.

Play the first Ninja Gaiden. Play Deadly Towers. Play Adventures of Lolo! Play TMNT (the first). Play Nobunaga's Ambition.

YT yourself while playing them. Sort of like Cobain-Jesus not-so-angry video game manly hunk.

YT yourself playing them while in the bathtub, Robio.

If I start shooting in the bathtub again, I'm going to have to do a push-up or something first.

I tried to play my copy of NES Karate a couple of days ago. It needs cleaning sadly, so would not boot.
