With great picks and nice recaps of some of the best retro games ever, it’s a nostalgic punch to the face. As author McKinley Noble writes, “it’s enough to keep blowing into your NES slot loader.” Just know SMB3 rightfully took the top spot.

I thought 3-D World Runner came out before Space Harrier. I freaking loved 3-D World Runner.

Nope, Square Soft took a big bite out of Sega’s idea back in the day.

Wow, what an nice little feature. No wonder Gamepros magazine is still in the circulation. Thanks for the link. Of course, it goes without saying that Kirby’s Adventure was an incredible game at the time. It’s superb in every way imaginable: the graphic, the level design, enemy variations, constantly surprising gamers with new power ups, coherent game world, unforgettable sound tracks, the game got it all. Till this day, I am in awe of knowing that it was an NES title along with Metroid. The late 80s til early 90s was truly the golden age of video game. (I feel)NES was the spark for the video game renaissance which we are living today. Ok that’s enough Nintendo love for now…WHERE IS MY F-ZERO NINTENDO?????????? Good job on Mario, Little Mike, LoZ and Metroid, but let’s complete the circle, shall we?

i loved space harrier as a kid and 3-d world runner, but yeah they bit off of sega big time. did the 3-d glasses ever work for anyone? i don’t think they work with standard tv screens back then. i remember my dad filming captain e.o. at disneyland in 87′ and when we got home we tried to watch it with those big purple glasses they give you and it didn’t work either. tv 3d never works, sorry way off topic…
