Hey everyone, im looking to getting into the NES and im struggling to find proper info online. I live in the UK so most of everything i have is PAL, the CRT i play on supports both 50 and 60hz however. I was wondering if i collected NES games here in the UK and played them on an american console or a japanese famicom, would they run at their intended speed? Id really like to avoid the slowdown if at all possible. I already have a stepdown converter for my japanese sega saturn and kind of prefer the design of the famicom either way. If it would work out as intended thatd be great, any info appreciated!

1st game. Again, a satellite just absorbs its enemies; the enemies are sometimes people with cannons and sometimes tanks. The perspective is like you're playing B-Wings, but you're a satellite.

2nd game. A kid and his main weapon was a slingshot. I can't recall its enemies, but I'm pretty sure they're all monsters or creepy creatures. The main objective, i think, is that you have to save your young brother. The game was like Megaman, but with a lot of puzzles. One time, there was a stage where you got into an underground. Where the stage looks gross, it has swamps, I think, and some vines on it.

Thank you to those amazing guys who helped me in the first part!

Hi Everyone,

I recently acquired an almost complete Deluxe NES system in box, but it’s missing the top foam. Does anyone know any where that I can acquire it? Most ebay listings are for the box, foam, and manuals. I would be open to the top and bottom, if needed, but I haven’t found any sellers for only the foam.

Thanks in advance!

1st game. Horror, the protagonist has this broken mask like Jason I think? Then he's foes and enemies are mythological creatures like swamp monsters etc. One time I got teleported into a secret stage where I fought scary creatures from Japan like the jumping umbrella with one eye. I think his weapon is like a mannequin leg.

(I apologize guys this is the best memories that I can share playing that game)

2nd game. He's like a chef he has weapons like a spoon (meelee) and then a fork (range). And its opponents were yeah technically anything you can find in the kitchen sometimes he faces with carrots or cabbage and vegetables. The stages are like in the kitchen. I remember there were boss fights too but I can't remember what kind of bosses this game has, I think a large pan? Or a jumping microwave. (Edit) Is he also throwing plates as its main weapon?

3rd game. A satellite just absorbs its enemies, the enemies sometimes are people with cannons a tanks. The perspective is like you're playing B-Wings but you're a satellite.

Guys, I hope you can help it's been 2 decades and I'm still searching for these games and I don't know what keywords to use. Thank you, awesome people!

I had and still have problems with my mental health. This is not an isolated case, it is a general problem for people. I say that without judgment, because every story is different. Not being allowed to talk about it may still be ingrained here and there, but – to put it casually – if you have a broken leg, you seek help and don’t hide away.

The trick is to motivate yourself. I discovered writing for myself in 1996 and over the years I have learned that I am not alone with the turmoil in my head. I started to support and raise awareness about mental health, sometimes through unexpected means.

In 2022 came an idea that still prioritizes art and creation, but thinks around the whole “keep the ball rolling”, “keep going despite setbacks” and “work focused towards set goals” a bit. I started developing a video game with an exciting, dangerous journey and search for Anna at its core. Anna: The Magic of Words has been in development since summer 2022.

A long time ago, I set out on my own quest for happiness and well-being. The project development helps me to focus on my goals. The motivation to keep going despite setbacks should also help other people. And by the way, I already has found my Anna.

I love to get your feedback, if you like.

I'm very interested in people's opinions on the famicom and FDS. I for one really love the NES Famicom and master system era and been really enjoying games on FDS lately. So I'd love to hear people's opinions and game recommendation! (For any of the three) My personal reccomendation for the Famicom Disk System is 3d Hot rally! It's a very fun racing game made by nintendo!

I stumbled upon this video today which shows a version of Blaster Master made for the PlayChoice-10.

I can't seem to find any other info online. Considering this video is *_10 YEARS OLD_* I'm hoping someone out there has more info on this.

If you do, please contact me or post here.

Cheers.

This is the current state of my NES indie/homebrew collection. This barely scratches the surface of all the great games that have been released in recent years.

I played this military game before where it was top down, you/enemies had grenades that you could throw at each other, I’m pretty sure you had a gun and the enemies had tanks. There was also cover for you to get behind, and the ground was yellowish/brownish.

Hi all

I only recently heard about home brew NES games. I have a few questions:

1.) where do people buy such games?

2.) are there any online projects where you can learn to make your own home brew game?

3.) how do people create their own cartridge?

Thanks! Luke

Video games are life

I acquired this years ago and have no idea where it came from originally. I can't find anything searching the internet so thought I'd ask here if anyone knows. It's a PAL NES in case that's relevant!

I have a library of around 35 NES Games, that I am looking to play through. I want to sell off games I don't want to keep in my library, and of course keep my favorites. I have an NES system with controllers that works great and I have been using an (I know, I know) cheap HDMI upscaler to hook to a modern HDMI TV. I'd like to upgrade that connection to reduce lag, but also keep the experience as "original" as possible. A few options I have seen,

- Find a CRT (Unfortunately I don't enough room)

- HDMI Mods (are these still a thing?)

-RetroTINK

-OSSC

-Retroscaler (are these really a stolen/clone of RetroTink)

-Analog NT Mini

-Hyperkin Consoles

But, the 'scene's changing so fast I can't keep up. What are folks currently using primarily? I'm leaning towards the RetroTINK 2X Pro but all the reviews I found are over 4 years old.

I've read conflicting things that it either has one frame or two frames, from the frame that you press jump to the frame that mario starts moving. does anyone know definitively? I've played it the most on a CRT so I'm trying to get it as close as I can on retroarch since I'm able to achieve one or two frames with my setup. For some reason I'm not getting many solid results on Google when I try to research this subject

Here is my cart, and guide. Cart was purchased in 1989 I believe Guide in 1993

Some good stuff today

What are your thoughts on this incredible game? When do you remember first hearing about and/or playing it?

I was playing Castlevania on emulator, and was wondering why the music in game was slower than what I've heard on YouTube before. I then sourced a USA Castlevania ROM, played it, and the music was normal. Is this the case with all PAL NES games?

I recently played gunbird for gameboy and I enjoyed that and I’ve always liked those primitive space harrier clones on NES like tetrastar.

There are so many home brews and fan games for the nes that it’s tough to look for stuff. Anyone know of any?
