ALTERNATE COVER ART FOR NES GAMES ►Here I discuss all the variant cartridge art for NES games including Punch Out, Legend of Zelda, Metroid and more. At least all the examples I could find!

I forgot to edit in a mention of the @GamingHistorian when I used a couple seconds of his video when discussing Tetris. His video summarizing the whole Tengen vs Nintendo lawsuit is really good and very thorough, so check that out: https://youtu.be/fLA_d9q6ySs

► If you're looking to get into retro reviewing or streaming, here's some of the equipment I used for both or either. My current setup is what I love now, but honestly I'd say start out with the cheap stuff and get a feel for everything before throwing down a ton of cash on gear you may or may not need.

After years of focusing on the best games for the NES, I decided to change gears and focus on lesser known cartridges that have, for one reason or another, generally escaped the public discussion and general nostalgia. This series highlights many of the relatively unknown, obscure, and unloved titles in the Nintendo Entertainment System's library. Some of these games are at best mediocre. Many are painfully bad, some of the worst NES games around. Most are hilarious for all the wrong reasons! Occasionally, OCCASIONALLY, a handful of them are actually good, borderline hidden gems.

While you won't find any of these on the NES Classic, some of these titles have managed to make their way onto the Nintendo Switch, so if you don't have an original Nintendo console or ROMs escape you ethically or technologically, there are several ways to play them.

Want more? Me too! Until then, lots of other articles where the pictures don't move and words have to be read can be found on my website(s):
