As far as I can remember I've always wanted a huge library of NES games. I believe most kids that grew up in the mid to very early 90's wanted that. Now that I near the 200 mark in my NES collection alone I think it's time to look back and see just what I'm missing. It would also be important to list my goals, and general wants on the Nintendo Entertainment System. A wish list per say. Here we go!
GOALS:
- Own issues 1-30 of Nintendo Power (as a kid I always wanted the issues containing NP's coverage of the Gray toaster
- Pick up more Nintendo memorabilia (in particular Super Mario Bros. and Zelda 80's merchandise)
- Collect and maybe even finish a set of those Nintendo cards that came out in the 80's
"I WANT YOU McDUCK!"
WANTS:
- Adventure Island 3 (to complete the series)
- Robocop 2 and 3 (even though I HATE the 3rd instalment, I'm a big Robocop fan)
- Stinger
- Fantasy Zone (another uncommon title by Tengen. In my opinion its one of the must own shmups on the system)
- Rampart
- Freedom Force
- Mega Man 5 (Doesn't everyone want this game?)
- Gradius 2 (yes it was only released in Japan on the Famicom. But I still want it!)
- Maniac Mansion (I'm still kicking myself for trading this wonderful game away. Gaah!)
- To own at least ONE boxed Double Dragon game
- Mighty Final Fight
- TMNT Tournament Fighters
- Kid Icarus (wanted this game since I was a kid.)
The Stellar Gradius 2 cover
There's plenty of others that I can't think of right now. But the stuff I listed above looks pretty attainable. I just need to go out and find them! I remember seeing Kid Icarus, Mighty Final Fight and even Gradius 2 at a retro store. Why I never picked them up I'll never know.
Right now I'm extremely happy with my NES collection. Even though I'm around the 200 loose cart area, I'll say 90% are good to great games. The others....well you can just imaging...
In the meantime, in between time!
