Never played it. I never had an NES as a child. We had a atari 2600 given to us untill we bought a genesis when the saturn came out.

Go get the rom, get an emu, and start playing. I have never played it either but I am hoping to this month.

There was a nes in my household. I didn't own it but I had access to it and ended up owning/buying a few games for it. Before the nes the closest thing we had to a gaming system was one of those Texas Instrument computers. I got a gameboy the first christmas it was out. I jointly owned a snes(the original) and later a genesis(model 2) probably late in its life. I went on to buy a n64(a few months after its release), a psx(not until FF7), and a sega saturn(not until panzer dragoon saga) for myself.

Maybe a game of the month should be chosen for any other nintendo system not already covered if members don't want to suffer through a month before they can converse about a title they are interested in now or a more interesting title. That's why the topic was worded "NES GotM".

Should we stay away from picking GotM's that are not somehow linked to Nintendo?

I will have to ask karny about that next time I see him. He's the boss.

You guys should play this game its actually a pretty cool game. I downloaded the ROM for it because I saw the game at a pawn shop and I decided I would try the game out before I buy it. Well, I tried it out and next time I go back to that pawn shop I'm going to pick it up.

I only played it on the PC. The the NES version allow you to microwave the hampster? I always thought was terrible, in a kinda funny way.

Maniac Mansion is a platformer . They must have done something pretty weird with the NES port if that's the case .

I used to have this on my Atari when I was younger, I liked it but it used to do my head in with how easy it was to die. I'm not sure if I ever saw the ending..
