The Ren and Stimpy Show Buckeroos – NES
Do you hate yourself? Feel like punishing you? Perhaps you’re a masochist. Well then, if that’s the case have I got the perfect title for you! What more can I say, let’s just get right to it! ZB reviews The Ren and Stimpy Show Buckeroos for…you guessed it – The Nintendo Entertainment System.

Wolverine – NES
Wolverine, another NES game from the LJN Pantheon, has it’s fair share of ups and downs. Great controls, and decent 8-bit graphics deliver some entertainment, but it’s dragged down by a merciless difficulty level and questionable design choices.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York – NES
Home Alone 2 takes the setting of the second film and decides to rewrite the story of a clever and industrious kid into something more fitting for an 80s action star. This isn’t a game that rests on Kevin’s trickery and smarts, no, this is game that puts Kevin in a Rambo-esque role as he tears through relentless hordes of completely mundane people and objects. Read at your own risk!

Home Alone – NES
Back in the 1990s, it wasn’t unusual for companies to take anything vaguely marketable to kids and turn it into a video game. Cartoons, movies, toy lines, and everything in between were often crafted into video games of questionable quality. Home Alone is yet another “fine” example of how bad a video game can get.

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure – NES
What is it with great movies and bad Nintendo ports? Brought to us by LJN, no less. Like Beetlejuice, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure is a movie that came out in 1988- scratch that, ’89. Damn, I was on to something here. Anyway, the first Bill and Ted movie was awesome. Highly quotable, fun story, and with enough self-aware cheese to keep you entertained all the way through. Then in 1991, just as we were insulted by LJN with their port of Beetlejuice, we got another winner with Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure. But here’s the question: Could it get any worse than the Beetlejuice game? Well, why don’t we come along with ZB and take a close look at Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure for the Nintendo Entertainment System and see if we can come to a conclusion on the matter at hand?

Beetlejuice – NES
In 1988 audiences were introduced to the afterlife’s leading Bio Exorcist. Beetlejuice was a sleeper hit that garnered enough recognition to earn it a spot in cinema history as a classic. Soon after its release we were graced with toys, a cartoon series, and of course in 1991 a video game. And…what’s this? LJN? By now in internet history I’m sure you know about their reputation. So with a closed mind let’s take a ride with ZB through this very negatively-slanted evaluation of Beetlejuice for the NES!

Operation Secret Storm – NES
Sometimes we run across a game that we can’t believe was actually produced. Operation Secret Storm was one such game. Uncover the secrets behind this classically bad NES action game.
-
Kid Icarus – NES
Often overlooked but remembered as a cult classic by some, the original Kid Icarus deserves a spot amid the best NES games of all time. Challenging? Yes. But it’s also a lot of fun and creates one of the most imaginative and creative atmospheres in the 8-bit world.

Eliminator Boat Duel – NES

Monster Party – NES
Monster Party has got to be one of the quirkiest games for the original NES. With a bizarre premise and storied past involving edits, censorship, and copyright infringement, it may just be one of the more popular obscure games. It’s not quite perfect, but NES fans owe it to themselves to give this offbeat platformer a playthrough.
-
Airwolf – Nintendo Entertainment System
Airwolf is a terrific disaster that is plagued by poor controls, a worse map, and a notion that could have worked. Lets admit that Airwolf was cool. However, the game falls flat and leaves us wanting less, much less!
-
Punch-Out!! – NES
Take a trip down memory lane when LifeShowChris reviews an oldie but goodie. If the review is a knockout, the game certainly is. A wonderful piece of boxing nostalgia featuring a David vs. Goliath style battle to the bitter end. So if you have some time checkout LifeShowChris’ review of Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!

Mega Man 6 – NES
Mega Man’s final outing on the NES, Mega Man 6, introduces several new concepts, including a more exploratory environment. With new abilities, new ways to use them, and new choices to make, see why Mega Man 6 unfairly gets the shaft when it comes to the series’ time on the NES.
-
Mega Man 5 – NES
Mega Man 5, the 5th of 6 Mega Man installments on the NES, is another fine example of what makes those early Mega Man games so appealing.
-
Mega Man 3 – NES
Mega Man 3, often considered the series’ crowning achievement on the NES, shows us just why old games are so difficult. But in spite of the challenge, it offers a lengthy gameplay experience with plenty of variety.
