This is definitely the only reason I still play my NES. I pop it in once in a while (and hit the ancient system a few times to get it working), and I venture back in the good old days before XBox and Gamecube. Gameplay: 10 All I can say is…wow! This game is the … Read more

The first glimpse I ever got of Super Mario Bros 3 in action was in that great celluloid classic of our time The Wizard… um, not a great start then, but it did make up for the rental fee. And how about that Power Glove? Er, well, it looked good at the time… But anyway. … Read more
