« on: October 25, 2013, 07:58:47 AM »
What games just took your breath away with it's character animations?

In no particular order:

Dracula X
Super Mario World
Metal Storm
Earth Worm Jim
Aladdin
Rolling Thunder
Out of this world
magical pop'n

are the ones that stand out to my mind the most, at least right now.

I always thought Moon Crystal looked amazing for NES graphics!


Also, Batman Return of the Joker is my all time favorite for best looking NES cart-

Whoah! Never seen that "moon crystal" game before. wow

Totally forgot about the Prince and Flashback.  I also recall seeing Sword Master before, but only on screen shots. If you told me it was an 8Bit Actraiser prequel, I would have believed it! lol


Sapphire is pretty spectacular.

Does Blade Buster count on the NES? If so I was pretty amazed by what they were able to do with the NES hardware
