Site Discussion / NES sections

« on: March 28, 2008, 07:13:51 PM »

I've read through all of the NES Mario sections and there's a bunch of cool tricks and hidden things that aren't listed, plus some of the games have absolutely no playing info. to them besides the date the game came out, etc. What do you plan on doing about it! But really, can we submit ideas to the mods or anything to expand the sections?

Game Help / Super Mario Bros. 1 points

« on: March 28, 2008, 07:04:00 PM »

What's the purpose of keeping points? I know when you finish the game it shows you your total and I know good ways to score points but seriously what do you use them for? In other games, video and otherwise, points = rewards but in Mario 1 is it just a record of how thorough you played the game?

Game Help / General NES help

« on: March 28, 2008, 03:56:36 PM »

I have a few games that don't work. The system works, the games don't seem to be missing any contacts or have any loose parts rattling inside. I cleaned them but to no avail. I tried different ways of putting the games in. I gently coaxed and pleaded with the nintendo gods. I tried 'restart' at every possible interval you can have a game after you insert it. The screen flashes different colors like lime green or blue for instance and at some point a flicker of a messed up picture comes up and/ or a half note of music that repeats with each flicker. That's the best I can get it. Does anyone know

-if maybe the system does have something to do with it
-what causes these games to not work
-what if anything I can do to fix it

Any help is appreciated.

Game Help / The anchor in Super Mario Bros. 3

« on: March 23, 2008, 07:09:59 PM »

When you collect a certain amount of coins in each level the mushroom house appears. I don't know what the anchor in the even levels does. I've used it and nothing happened, I came back to the spot later and explored and for the life of me I have no clue what it's good for. I'm guessing that if you get a game over then you can start at where you used the anchor but never tested this theory..if you've getting the mushroom houes you probably wouldn't need that sort of help anyways right? So what does it do?

Game Help / What is the name of this game?

« on: March 22, 2008, 04:04:29 PM »

I used to have an NES game about 10 years ago that I want to buy again but I don't know what it's called. It was probably Japanese, it has a main character going through I think a green land and it was a top view, and he did miscellanous things like kill people or get rewards or what have you...then there was places where he would enter a hut and have to battle a huge monster there. That's the best way I can describe it sorry. Does anyone know the game I'm talking about?
