I've been trying to get into the NES library, but not too sure what's some titles worth playing. I've played Popeye and Zelda 1. Popeye was alright, but Zelda 1 I just couldn't get into. I played through the whole thing and didn't really enjoy it all that much. It wasn't bad, just not my thing.

Currently I'm looking to try Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong Jr, Donkey Kong Jr Math, Dr. Mario, Mendel Palace, River City Ransom, Terra Cresta, and Tetris. My friend also recommended me Super Mario Bros, Punch-Out, Metroid, and Panic Restaurant. I'm really into racing games and puzzle games, but haven't been enjoying brawlers all that much lately (there's a few I like like the Devil May Cry series, Lego games, and the Batman Arkham series).

I've got the boss music in my head now.

I love this heavy metal remix medley by Vomitron. It does have a NSFW album cover though.

Video Game Suggestions

472 readers

A place to find suggestions for video games! For example, you might create a post looking for recommendations for a game to play with a friend, or a game that is easy to play if you just broke your dominant hand. Or you might post a list of games that let you use a whip as a weapon. A lot of rules for conduct here are pretty obvious (don't be a jerk, stay on-topic) so I'll bold the weird ones.

Rules

  1. Please stay on-topic: post requests for games that match some criteria you specify, lists of games with a certain element, or something otherwise relevant to helping people find games that match certain criteria.
    • If you're looking to find the name of a particular game or video game series you forgot, you should go to !TipOfMyJoystick@retrolemmy.com. This community is for fielding suggestions for games, not for finding one specific video game.
    • If you're making a post that is suggesting games, it should be a list of games. This is partially to help prevent the community from being overrun by people just suggesting their favorite game, and devs suggesting you play their latest game. This is about posts, not comments. It's okay to comment on a post asking for gaming suggestions with just one game.
  2. Don’t be a jerk. This covers bigotry and discrimination, which includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
  3. Please don’t directly link to pirated content.
  4. When advertising something you have worked on, please use common sense for what is spammy. Self-promotion isn't totally banned: if someone asked for an RPG where you can play a lich, and the game you worked on is an RPG where you can play a lich, you can definitely answer with your RPG. I reserve the right to change this rule to be more specific about what exactly counts as spammy and what does not, but I feel I’ll know it when I see it and trust most posters to operate in good faith.
  5. Please indicate spoilers when necessary. The following format works on both Lemmy and Kbin, but if you are using an app it may not. See this comment for which apps handle spoilers. Note that spoilers in post bodies will just show the text in the preview if you link the post in, say, Discord, instead of spoiling it.
Spoilers for SomeGameSomething that happened at the end of the game! Something else that happened at the end of the game!

will appear as

Spoilers for SomeGameSomething that happened at the end of the game!

Something else that happened at the end of the game!

Magazine/community icon is the Apple video game emoji and green checkmark emoji for now. Suggestions for a replacement are very welcome.
