Test your NES knowledge

As I was stumbling this evening I came across a fun Nintendo quiz. As I'm working on a NES play through this quiz fits right in.

So I'm a noob at this NES quiz, but how well do you think you know your Nintendo games? Take the quiz and post the results in the comments. Good luck!

Oooops for A

So I stand corrected on my ABC play through set. I actually do have a game that starts with the letter A and it is, drum roll please, Al Uncer Jr.'s Turbo Racing.

Turbo Racing is similar to other Nintendo racing games, especially similar to Rad Racer with some subtle differences. Some added game elements are: car upgrades, pit stops and three game play styles.

Here is my sample of Al Uncer Jr.'s Turbo Racing


Next is Beetlejuice based off the feature film and animated series. You play as the ghoul with most Beetlejuice who is trying to scare away the Deetz family. It's a side-scrolling game for the most part, with some overhead game play scattered throughout the game. Exploring through the Maitland house you get scare upgrades to assist with the many enemies and bosses.

Here is my attempt at Beetlejuice

Going Back to the Future

Going back in time to when I learned the alphabet with a play through set of all my Nintendo games from A ,or in this case, B through Z.

First on the list is Back to the Future 2 and 3. Developed by Beam Software the game is a combo of sorts squishing the the last two movies in the series into one not so good game. A single player game for the NES that didn't offer a save feature, a map function and is lengthy, is talked about as being one of the worst games ever.

I have had this game since childhood and I have never gotten past the first stage and never experienced the part 3 section of the game. It is kind of sad that Back to the Future 2 and 3 was so horrible because the first game in the series, while hard, is beatable and fun.

Here is my most recent attempt:

No Nintendo Game

A particular line from rapper Eminem's new single, "Love the way you lie," caught my gamer ear.

The line in question is, "You don't get another chance, Life is no Nintendo game." While yes you only get one life, or in gamer lingo one man, life kind of is like a Nintendo game.

A bit about Nintendo games:

• They are expensive and they rarely get cheaper
• They are all about being fun
• They are some of the hardest (frustrating) games ever
  
• They strive to be unique and memorable

A bit about Life:

• From birth to death, experiencing life is expensive
• Journeying through life is a fun adventure
  
• No matter what path you take life is hard
  
• Life is the most unique thing their is and each life has its memorable moments for everyone that crosses your path.

That's just a few of the obvious comparisons for the few that may have thought the same thing when they hear this song.
