good NES four-player games?

Post by eagle5953 »

I found a lot of NES stuff at my latest trip to the local Goodwill.

working NES (with forgotten SMB 3 cart in it!) and controllers - $19.99
NES Advantage joystick - $2.99
NES Four Score - $2.99

Relax, this is not blogging; I have a question: I found a list of games that support four-player gaming on NES, but which are any good? I'm not particularly familiar with any of them.

Personally, I'd be all over that Jeopardy game if I could find the people to play with. That M.U.L.E. game looks like it's got some high reviews.

About the only thing I've ever use either my four-score or my Satellite for is so I can sit on the couch and play, instead of sitting on the floor in front of the TV. It does make a great extension. lol

Tibia, the article on Wikipedia that I linked to mentions that people often used it for that. Made me LOL as well. It seems to be about as useful as the broadband adaptor for Gamecube... or perhaps system link between the GC and GBA. :roll:

I missed that in the article. I was only looking at the games. lol

I use my GBA/GC cable rather frequently, but Metroid Prime/Metroid Fusion and James Bond:Everything or Nothing are about the only games I use it all with.

So for the Gamecube, you would have appreciated a virbrant online experience over interconnectivity with the GBA?

Me too, and despite what Iwota said, so would everyone else!

I don't know, honestly. I don't have the broadband adapter, so I've never gotten to play on-line. If I ever find one cheap, I'd probably go for it, though. One or two of my Mortal Kombat and James Bond games do support on-line play. Now that I have an ethernet-capable router, I'd be interested in trying it.

To be on topic:

NES World Cup! This game is just plain fun and funny...I love how you can "kill" the opposing team, lol.

Bomberman II, the best bomberman on the NES. Gauntlet II is a blast too. Indy heat, on the other hand, stinks. Don't bother.

I used it all the time for Zelda and Animal crossing. I always wanted to get the Ethernet adapter but its useless... But how many of you still have a E-Reader? I still do but i dont have any cards left. (well maybe some Mario Party E but not all of them)

I just got an e-Reader a week or two ago, actually. It didn't come with any cards, but the previous owner had loaded Ice Climbers onto it. I've got the Pinball cards, but I don't want to use them until I track down some Ice Climbers cards of my own. When I get enough money, I'm going to order the SMA4/SMB3 set off Nintendo's website.
