And being a Contra fan I couldn't resist playing this. Keeping the tradition, it was a pirate version, that was called Contra 8. I don't know why this one isn't as popular as the other two on the NES, but I certainly enjoy it the most out of the three.Ī game I had gotten my hands on only once, when I borrowed it from a friend and beat it in a single night. And if that wasn't enough it had kickass music as well. One of the original NES titles, this was just like Mad Max, only with a bike. When I reached the final boss I almost pissed my pants - he was really scary. It had some really cool levels and really weird bosses.
#UNDERRATED NES GAMES HOW TO#
In this flying shooter, great controls, music and graphics are combined with the interesting option to choose how to position your weapons and to decide wheather a weapon should be more powerful or more homing. So we peeled the rest of the Mario sticker only to see there was an "Over Horizon" sticker on the cart.

Once it started to peel though and we could see another one underneath. What was weird is that the game was about spaceships, but had a Doctor Mario sticker. My brother got it as a birthday gift from a classmate of his. It's actually one of my few original carts. I've seriously never heard anyone talking about this masterpiece. Much like Felix, it has a pirate sequel, that also allows playing with Tom. You could also get different weapons such as hammers and bubble gum. Jerry had to battle his way through the basement, chimney, kitchen and living room (where he would come across a NES). You play as Jerry and try to save your Nephew Tuffy, who's been captured by Tom. Just like Felix - great graphics, sound and controls. I never had any of the two games, but had rented them both and played through them numerous times. It's based on a Felix cartoon in which our hero tries to save his Golden Duck.

There's also a virtually unknown pirate sequel, which retains the game mechanics and good graphics, but has terrible sound and controls. It's quite tiring to beat it in one sitting, but it's really worth it. Besides great controls, music and graphics the game was quite a challenge, not because of it's difficulty, but because of it's lenght. and each had different power ups which would transform Felix' Magic Bag in something to help him along the way such as a plane, a magician kit or even a tank.

The game had many different types of levels - flying, underwater etc. Felix has to save Kitty from the clutches of the Proffesor, while travelling all around the world and even in outer space. When I finally got a NES clone in 1999 me, my friend, my brother and my dad would go around video-game stores trying to find the best games and we eventually got our hands on some of the hidden treasures of the console.Īnd now I present a list of the games, which to me are underrated, but I play the crap out of them to this day:Ī great sidescroller by the people behind "Adventure Island". I would often go to my best-friend's place to play with him and master the games (and beg him to lend me his Voltron). I was really jealous of all the kids in kindergarten, me being the only one who didn't have a NES.

Even if you managed to find a place where they sell licenced consoles and games you couldn't afford them. That's why the NES was really popular in the 90s. Here in Bulgaria, everything comes in really late.
