It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since the release of the NES. Check out 1up.com's celebration week.

Happy birthday, NES!

Damn, I feel old now...

I'm happy that River City Ransom and Bionic Commando is on their top 15 list. Those are 2 of my favorite NES games of all time. I'm diappointed Super Dodge Ball wasn't on there though :/

Same here. Bionic Commando wasn't much of a surprise to me, but RCR was. I happened to have been one of the few who actually played it on the NES and not as a ROM, but damn did I play it a lot.

d00d, if you're old enough were the NES being 20 years old makes *you* feel old, I'd be really surprised (and a lil' disappointed ^_~) that you didn't play some of those games on the NES first. I think the only game on that list I never played on the NEW was Duck Tales... I think. I might just be that I played it the least XD I know I never played it that much. Actually, I think the only place I played it at was the Nintendo booth in the middle of the Tacoma Mall YEARS AND YEARS ago. I feel this urge to play it at home now XD

Oh, and of course Mega Man 2 should be no surprise either. Arguably the best Mega Man game for the NES.

No, no, no, I DID play them on the original NES. Every damn one of them listed. And I played them into the ground. I think I even had to replace some of them for having played them too much.

I think part of what makes me feel old is that I'm still such an avid supporter Nintendo as an industry leader, even if they haven't had a whole lot of titles that I would still play. They have had the only system that I have bought for the sole purpose of playing an exclusive game, which was Metroid Prime. The next closest is the PS for the continuation FF series after it left the SNES. While I'm not a fan of their "inovative" direction for the Revolution controlers, I still commend and applaud them for sticking to their roots as visionaries of an industry instead of hardware performance pushing cash-cows.
