  1. Reason for buying an NES by UsedToCould · · Score: 3, Informative

    The original Zelda was the reason for my recent purchase of an NES. I had to search eBay for about a week to be able to snag one. I have it now and about 20 or so other classic games, and I have to say that I probably play my NES more than my PS2. And for good reason.
    While the PS2 is technologically and graphicly superior, IMHO there is just no comparison to the quality of the games as they were once made. Developers are using more and more graphics and cool cut scenes to drive a game rather than, *gasp* story line or plot development. And don't forget solid game play. I have spent countless hours trying to defeat mario 3, and I still come back for more.
    Why? It's just darn fun!

    I liked The Adventure of Link. That one was the side-scroller, right? Yeah I liked that one. It is oft listed as the worst of all, and I'd probably agree, but if that game is the worst in the series then the series has done remarkably well.

    All the Zelda games are great games.

    You're right about the television ads. All I remember is a stuttering, hyped up guy yelling about "Pee-Pee-Pee-Pee-Hats."

    The Legend of Zelda was the best NES game by far, and there were a lot of good ones.
