Bionic Commando should be here. Its a great game on the Nes. But the fact that you dont jump turns off people right away. If you give the game a chance you learn that there is a reason for the jump limitation and it has an awesome play style. Definitely a classic.

I disagree. The reason Bionic Commando should NOT be here is because it was never really UNDERAPPRECIATED. I seem to remember back then that it was appreciated quite a lot! And yes, it is definitely a classic, and most NES gamers will tell you so.

I like to think Faxanadu is also an underappreciated gem. I'll confess the NPC chat leaves a lot to be desired, but i found it had a delightful mix of exploration, combat, and just overall was a fun RPG game to play. edit: almost forgot - despite being chiptunes, the Music, is very very memorable too. Still love the second area (Tower of mists)

Faxandu was like my 3rd NES game - I couldn't find Legend of Zelda anywhere and the box art and the demo they had of it at Toys R Us that I played made it look pretty intriguing so we picked it up and man that was like one of my favorite games right after Metroid and Super Mario Bros. It's also one of the few NES games from my childhood that I still have my original cartridge for - I even ended up finding a second one in a box of 'garbage' games that I hung onto - game still worked just fine - in case I met someone that wanted to borrow mine - Faxandu also sorta was fun to play listening to the Ghostbusters 2 Soundtrack - I used to always have a tape player with me in the late 80s/early 90s and I liked to play video games late after my parents went to bed so I'd turn off the volume on the TV and listen to music while I played - some of the songs really suited the game - at least to me.

I wouldn't necessarily say that Faxanadu was a BETTER version of Zelda II - Adventure of Link (which was really more of an adventure game with some RPG elements), but Faxanadu does have more of an RPG feel to it--which is why you may like it better. In any case, both Zelda II and Faxanadu were pretty well liked, and therefore NOT underappreciated.

Re: the SMB glitch, I think what's going on is this: When you get hit by Bowser at the exact same frame as you touch the axe, the game triggers the level end and "forgets" to shrink Mario because that code routine is not executed. When you touch a super mushroom, the code routine for making Mario into Super Mario works by setting his status to "super" but it toggles the sprites used for drawing Mario. Normally this works out because Mario is always small when he touches a super mushroom, but when the NES is confused because it is treating Mario as small but still drawing him as Super Mario, it switches *back* to the small sprites. When Mario touches a Fire Flower, it doesn't change sprites -- it's just doing a palette swap. When the animation plays for Mario throwing a fireball, the NES displays the only graphic that exists on the ROM for that, the sprite of Super Mario, being drawn with the Fiery Mario palette. Then it switches back to using the previous sprite it had been using to draw Mario, in this case the small mario sprite, but drawn using the palette used for drawing Fiery Mario.

It's a little late, but small fire mario isn't a different Sprite - it's the same sprite as when mario is actually small. The nes doesnt store color data with the sprites, instead the sprites have "potential colors." Each sprite can have 3 colors so let's say the "potential colors" are A, B, and C. Normal mario uses the standard color palette that fills the "potential colors" with the normal colors we expect mario to look like. When mario gets the fire powerup the game doesn't switch anything about the way Mario's sprite looks, it just switches to a different color palette that makes mario look like fire mario. The glitch just tricks the game into thinking that mario should look small, but the game also thinks mario can shoot fire, so it switches to the color palette for when mario has the fire powerup. The reason he gets big when he shoots the fireballs is because the sprites for the animation are only drawn for big mario, so the game thinking mario can shoot fireballs just plays that animation not realizing it's wrong. The dev's must have not thought that you would ever be able to do this, or didnt fix it because it would require extra processing power that the nes didnt really have.

Fire-powered Mario isn't a sprite swap, but just a pallet swap. That's why the game is able to render small Mario in his fire power suit even though it was never intended. It doesn't mean that Miyamoto & co. put something in the game that they never used. It's just a few bits being changed to render white and red instead of red and brown, and under normal conditions, those bits would never be in that state if you weren't already big.

It's basically an action-platformer with RPG elements, where you gain Experience Points (which naturally increases your Level, HP and MP) and learn new attacks and spells, and some of the spells are hidden in secret areas. Fantastic game, I can safely say that it is one of the best action-platformers on the whole system.

+Agon Leed The reasons why I rank "KickMaster" very highly are because it is well-designed in general - the graphics are crisp and clear, the music is fantastic, the controls are intuitive and the replay value is quite high since the game has a second loop on a higher difficulty, and also a second final boss. I also really like how you can do lots of different physical and magical attacks, and I enjoyed the HP/MP system since I have always found it very satisfying to gain Levels and become stronger. Either way, another game that is extremely unknown relative to how good it is would be "Summer Carnival '92: Recca" for the Famicom. That game is basically a furiously intense scrolling shooter with a very unique style - it has wavy psychedelic backgrounds and a convincing rave soundtrack, which makes some parts almost feel like a rave party or something. It's also extremely hard - it's one of those games were beating stage 1 is an achievement.

My bet on the mario glitch is that they didn't make a small fire mario sprite OR a big fire mario sprite, but rather just swapped the pallette when the power up was active. Palette swapping and cycling were frequently used to reduce rom storage requirements.

Love me some Captain Skyhawk. I remember my friend bringing it over to my house to play when he was staying over for the weekend and we played the shit out of it. He had never beaten it before, but he beat it that weekend while at my house. Beating it must have made it wear off the desire for the game because after that he offered to sell it to me for like $5. That was about 27 years ago, and I still have the game to this day.

The Mario trick was first mentioned in the Nintendo News Letter in 1987. The small Mario fireflower sprite is just the product of a palette swap rather than an unused character model.

I loved Felix the Cat as a child. Got the game for Easter one year and it did not disappoint. Your top game and Iron Tank where two games that along with Felix the Cat where anything but unknown to my group of friends. But I guess that is the funny thing about this time. Before the internet and much publication games hit pocket communities and got popular in isolation. I would say Kabuki Quantum Fighter and Shatterhand also where like that in my community. I grew up went off into the world would talk about these games and no one seemed to know what I was talking about.

They didn't make a sprite for small fire Mario. It's just a palette swap, but it looks like there is a sprite for shooting the fireball which is why it sometimes goes large.

Astyanax is one of my favorite side-scrolling action/adventure games for the NES. It has pretty nice graphics for a title on an "8-bit" gaming system, great play-control, really fun boss battles, a nice story too with a little bit of a plot twist at the end (lol), and even some RPG elements like being able to use 1 of 3 weapons (effects the way you attack physically and use magic), and being able to use a few magic spells, although the game levels were pretty straightforward and linear. Still a great game overall.

Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu was really good. I first saw it a long time ago at a friend's house and searched high and low for it, at first thinking it might have been a Master System game because of the very large colorful sprites. Later when I discovered it was a NES game I was pretty impressed.

Thee trees do move in the Japanese version of Contra. IIRC the game used a special chip to help with effects but for some reason they weren't allowed to use the chip in the US market so certain effects were cut.

I found Astyanax at a video rental place that Blockbuster had driven out of business for 60 cents. I absolutely loved it, and it’s one of my favorite Nintendo game, combining Medieval monsters, Greek mythological monsters, horror elements, and tough as nails Castlevania shit. It’s still a great game, one of the best that no one has ever heard of.

Fireball Mario is just a palette swap, not a different sprite. (Sprites and colour palettes are stored separately, not in bitmaps.) So the bug is applying the fireball palette to the smaller sprite. Also, noticed most of these are 1990’s NES games. Which explains their lack of popularity.
