Giveaway: 8-Bit Retro NES Toploader
September 24th, 2009 by Tommy Day
To help celebrate Saturday Morning Central’s new design, I’m giving away one Retro Entertainment System NES Toploader. All you have to do is leave a comment, and say what your favorite NES game is, and I will pick one winner randomly! Make sure to use a valid email address, because that’s how I will contact you.
The Retro Entertainment System will play your old NES cartridges, because sometimes having your retro games in physical form is still cooler than using emulators.
The contest ends on October 1st at 5:00pm EST.
What are you waiting for?
Contest is closed.

My favorite is Mario Bros. 2 – I know it gets a lot of flack as the Phantom Menace of the Mario series, but it is truly a fun game with a lot of good memories.

Oh man…Bionic Commando!!! Don’t even hafta think about that one. Master D/Hitler’s head exploding has to be one of the greatest game endings ever!!!
Love,

I was always a nerd for Section Z to be honest.
BTW, I like the new design. I’m really digging the switch in feel from a more bloggy layout to a more news-ish kind of feel.
I also like that you ditched the image of the building blocks at the bottom (they felt a bit too Babies-R-Us.)

Site is looking great. And no game beats Legend Of Zelda! No game, I say!
Ryan
September 24, 2009
I would have to say my favorite NES game was the original Ninja Gaiden. It was incredible. But probably the very best game for the NES in terms of playability is Super Mario 3.
Carol

I didn’t cook or clean for two days and beat THE LEGEBD OF ZELDA when I first got married!

I was always a little partial to RC Pro Am. It was the original drifting game.
Being a motoXer, I also gotta give it up for Excite Bike.
But, for pure mindless fun, who doesn’t like to burn through Super Marion Bros. every once in awhile.

Warren
September 25, 2009
Gosh, there are so many: Super Mario Bros. 3, Tetris, Mega Man 2, Donkey Kong, Blades of Steel, Tecmo Super Bowl, etc. In an effort to be different, though, I’m going to say Marble Madness.
Justin
September 25, 2009

My favorite would have to be…Wow, hard choice, but Mega Man 2′s held up a lot better for me than a lot of NES games, even classics of the era.
Mike C
September 27, 2009
The first game I ever played was Wayne Gretzky hockey and that was awesome, but I have to admit, Duck Hunt is just the best.

It’d be a tie between the Legend of Zelda and Contra. My original NES has dirty connectors and the cartridges don’t play, I get the flashing light issue.

WOW! I absolutely would love to win this. I have a big stack of games that would work in this. Love Super Mario Brothers games. They don’t make games like that any more! Today’s games are just too complicated and bore me to easily. I can play Super Mario Brothers for hours at a time.
Tim Tilley

I used to think it was Super Marios Bros 3, or Legend of Zelda, but time after time I find myself playing the same game over and over again. So my favorite NES game is…..

I couldn’t stay away from Super Mario Bros. 3 even though I had a bunch of other games. If I had someone to play with, then TMNT 2:The Arcade Game and Paperboy were the top picks.

Joanna Smith
September 30, 2009
Oooh, my husband has stacks of NES games that I bet he would love for us and our children to play together! It would be so cool to have this terrific Retro Entertainment System NES Toploader to play them with. Some favs are The Legend of Zelda, Friday the 13th, ummm, trying to think of more Defender of the Crown, Mad Max and of course the classic Pac-Man. I could list about 25 more that he has for sure, but do you really…..no didn’t think so! You totally rock for hosting such a terrific giveaway!

September 30, 2009
Wow, that’s a hard one. If I had to choose though, it would have to be Battle Toads. That game had such a wierd concept, yet it was such a great fighting game.

The new site looks great, Tommy!
I have a soft spot for Double Dragon 2, especially the fight on the helicopter, but my true love remains Bionic Commando – my first experience of console gaming. How on earth I ever had the patience to play the frustrating bloody thing, especially as a child, I’ll never know.
Paula Harmon
