I made a .rar file of all the NES games on the list (link). It's temporary and will delete in 7 days.

My phone died as I was answering that question! Blurbs ate nice but my no means necessary. I'll post them but last I checked I had none.

i ripped them all from hg101's weekly kusoge
i can't remember if the last one is actually from an NES game, but it is probably one of the best screenshots ever
― nerd shit (Will M.), Monday, 12 October 2015 16:06 (eight years ago) link
it's from dick tracy (nes). note the door.
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Monday, 12 October 2015 16:13 (eight years ago) link
HG101 is already a treasure, the weekly kusoge even better
― Nhex, Monday, 12 October 2015 16:15 (eight years ago) link
dick tracy NES game is sooooo bad btw. up there with BTTF in "how did you fuck this up?" cross-promotion licensing deals. like they looked at the first ninja turtles game as a template and said "what if this were even harder, but all the difficulty came from the driving-around-the-city parts being just incomprehensibly brutal and dangerous, and also there could be some bullshit where you have to gather up clues in a particular order." also one of those games that knows how to masquerade as a good game for the purposes of the back of the box and nintendo power coverage - it sounds rich and complex with lots of different stuff you have to do. but it's just shit.

I might be a late-night balloteer, but I'm definitely still planning on it.

I sent my ballot using my CapL email address
― The Once-ler, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 04:01 (eight years ago) link
Ballot coming together here! As always with these things it looks like a crazy person wrote it. Also looks nothing like the order I had these same games in in the big poll in 2008. Shifting memories/tastes with time, but also the inevitable "well, this isn't better than THIS..." item-by-item process moving stuff around.
― Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 14 October 2015 04:37 (eight years ago) link
Ballot in, and hopefully not too late... man, that was tough. Already feel like I could flip half of it around and feel just as good about that lineup. At a certain point, with only 20, it really has to be games I really would pick up and play RIGHT NOW and be totally happy with - had to let go a few things that I know are historically important or which really held my attention at the time. Still some narrative/importance feeding in to certain picks of course.
― Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 14 October 2015 04:55 (eight years ago) link
I tried to submit 16 weighted games and 20 unweighted games since that wasn't explicitly prevented by the rules. WillM wasn't having that. Here are the 16 I ended up cutting.
A Boy and His Blob (NES)Adventures of Lolo (NES)Batman (NES)Battletoads (NES)Castlevania (NES)Contra (NES)Ducktales (NES)Ducktales 2 (NES)Faxanadu (NES)Kid Icarus (NES)Kirby's Adventure (NES)Metroid (NES)River City Ransom (NES)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I (NES)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II (NES)The Legend of Zelda II (NES)
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Wednesday, 14 October 2015 05:12 (eight years ago) link
boy and his blob easily one of the most overhyped games of its era imho - at best an "ambitious failure." some of those other ones you have there are stone cold classics though. man, the results of this are going to be interesting.
― Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 14 October 2015 05:16 (eight years ago) link
I agree that the premise of ABahB is better than the actual game.
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Wednesday, 14 October 2015 05:19 (eight years ago) link
I sincerely hope that those who vote for games released on Genesis and master system are voting for the SMS version. Re karateka I'm sorry if a month of nominations wasn't long enough!
― Bouncy Castlevania (Will M.),
When I was looking at Sega entries I felt that I couldn't pick any Master System games if they came out on the Genesis at the exact same time unless they were significantly different than the Genesis version.
― The Once-ler, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 11:47 (eight years ago) link
Ugh, naturally I thought the deadline was today. I can submit a ballot this morning if it isn't too late?

Thinking again about my ballot, feeling good about it. Felt like I really cut past a lot of the inherited wisdom I've built up in my mind, where Game X is groundbreaking and a classic and so on, but, come down to it, did I actually enjoy it in 1990? Or just grind headachingly against it because it's what I had to play? I think my twenty now look like a pretty good desert island collection and long story short, I am regretting selling off my NES a couple years ago when I was moving to NYC and figured that any and all downsizing was inherently justified.
― Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 14 October 2015 18:21 (eight years ago) link
I've never played any sms/famicom/atari 7800 games, and also haven't played any NES games since the heyday of emulation, so my recollection of all of this was pretty fuzzy.

Hi all, I was planning on starting this today but due to insane workload it'll probably be later in the week. Don't worry, it'll still be this week :) I've got 5 days planned, I'm thinking it'll be wed-thu-fri, mon-tues or something.

If you can put in a ballot, like, today, I can count it. I'm going to start the images tonight, though, so it'll have to be soon.
