How's your NES gaming going? What's your NES library like?

I think it happened to most people. First one I tore down was years before youtube or much of any video other than junky random realplayer videos were online. I had a twitchy system and tore it down, cleaned every single piece in there, put it back together and didn't see that little notch in the plastic. I was starting to flip out I busted something as the game refused to stay down.

1988 I got my first nes. Came with Mario and kung fu. Decided to play it today and now my kids who are 14 and 11, ask to play kung fu and can't get past first stage.
Im having flashbacks because at 11 I was doing the same thing in kung fu and couldn't beat the first stage either lol. Love my genesis but today due to the memories its a nes day all day on Christmas day.

What is the general opinion of Solomon's Key? I played it once not really knowing what I was doing but it seemed solid. Just read the manual a bit and not I'm ready to go. Seems like a good, cheap puzzler sort of.

Brilliantly difficult.

It is a solid game, and its mechanics have held up very well.

After buying zero NES games in 2014 I have already picked up two this year: Tombs & Treasure and Legend of the Ghost Lion.

I'd like to check out more of the non-Square/Enix RPGs on the system. Faria may be next if I can find it for a decent price...

Good luck! (Maybe "the guy" will give you a discount. )

Faria is a unique RPG in overworld/system design and Secret of Mana-ish like in combat that pops up in a window. It's a hard game made very much hard by the annoying as hell dungeons and caves with intricate puzzles and traps to navigate. It's so complex the company relented and made this faux vellum two sided map for the game so you don't get lost that was a mail away thing.

It's rare, the value used to be in the hundreds, until I killed it with a stunt I pulled and it fell back to around the $100 mark. That stunt, a massive clean scan of both sides of the thing as a huge PDF file and also the original JPG masters up to download too. I have them hosted both at digital press and I also keep it on a personal storage I have too: http://tanooki.byethost16.com/faria.html

I'd download it if you really want to play the game.

That game is easily in my top 5 NES puzzle games by far. Overlooked and underappreciated.

well technically i have a famicom. i have around 90+ carts including bootlegs and multicarts. pretty content with it so far. i'm mainly collecting the ones not available in the VC. i'd say the famicom/nes is probably the most fun to collect. i enjoy playing the rather forgotten titles such gundec, demon sword and kabuki.
