With the hype of Nintendo‘s announcement about the upcoming NES Classic Edition, Metal Insider decided to interview some artists about their favorite game.
Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and Boondox were among those interviewed. Here is what they had to say:
Mono:
Double Dribble! It was the stop motion up close dunk screen that made it untouchable!!! 360 3 pointers and the voice that yelled “DOUBLE DRIBBLE” but sounded like “BUBBLE BIBBLE”!
–Monoxide, Twiztid
Madrox:
Friday the 13th by LJN. It made no sense yet managed to captivate me. I’m not sure you could ever kill Jason with rocks but I tried. My end of game always read: “you and your friends are dead – game over!”
– Jamie Madrox, Twiztid
Blaze:
Mike Tysons Punchout!! It didn’t require a lot of skill, just a whole bunch of button mashin, dodges and timing… It had Super punches to lay your competition on the mat, And they had cheat codes so you could jump str8 to the man himself, and most of the time get pummeled… Still remember the code like a phone number 007 373 5963”
–Blaze Ya Dead Homie
Boondox:
Without a doubt, Skate or Die. I was never big on video games, skating was where all of my free time was spent. But, I did own an NES and when they released Skate or Die, I played the hell out of it. My favorite events were Ramp Freestyle and Joust. Joust was dope to me because you could recreate (in 8-Bit) one of my favorite scenes from the movie Thrashin’. Really now that I think about it, most of the events on Skate or Die paralleled Thrasin’. I’d also like to give an honorable mention to the game T&C Surf Designs. Spent almost as much time playing that.”– Boondox

Right you are scruffy, i recently just read a review that had friday the 13th as the worst game ever made for nes. And i remember it a bit and it was terrible. It was a rental and i actually think i returned it.

there were probably worse nes games, but not many were as widely released.
i rented it, too. or maybe my homie did. whoever it was, we gave up and went outside to play virus tag instead.

scruffy, what is virus tag? also, friday the 13th was a difficult game to play. Some say that it is within the top 10 hardest video games of all time to beat. Did any of you beat Zelda II on the nes?

Agree with Mike Tysons Punch Out. Super Mario 3 was classic, and the original magic ninja… Shinobi!!!!!

mastagoalie: virus tag is basicly the same as tag, but when you tag someone, youre still it. eventually, everybody is it but one person, and the game starts over with that person bein it.
