    I've played all the games you have listed as well as Super Mario 2, Legend of Zelda, and a few other NES games. Although they weren't on the original console, I've only recently began to play these retro games.

    Super mario 2 was very crappy. I played it at the beginning till it got very boring.

    Yeah I thought that it was quite bad compared to the other two but I still played it. Legend of Zelda, on the otherhand, not a game has been released that I was dissapointed by.

    I grew up with an Atari 2600 and a delux pong system. I have played all those you mentioned and hundreds of games older than any of those.

    I remember that! Had it for the Intellivision. I had the talking thing for it too. Bomb Squad was great. I could play Tron Deadly Discs forever. There were so many great games for that thing.

    Yes! And Shark! Shark! And the first AD&D game... When going through the tunnels and you could here the dragon snoring. I remember jumping every time you'd open a new part and wake one up.

    Asteroids on Atari 2600 which was pretty fun when I was a kid. Then I played E.T. on Atari and it was one of the worst decisions I've ever made! I also played the back to the future games and they were pretty bad. Retro gaming for the win!

    I still have my Intellivision hooked up to my 50" TV. I play Astrosmash, BurgerTime, Lock N Chase, Tron Deadly Discs, Space Armada, Beauty & the Beast, Venture, and Adv Dungeons & Dragons. Back when I was this big, Venture and D&D used to scare the crap out of me!
