You didn't miss much with NES. Sure, it's claimed as reviving gaming and it did. But most games were lousy. Good thing is that with the internet, you can see which games are good or not. Back then it was buyer beware.

No doubt that the avg SNES or N64 game was better than the avg NES game.

For NES, look for Nintendo, Konami, Capcom and SNK games. Bases Loaded 1 and Baseball Stars were excellent. But avoid Konami's Bayou Billy. Crap game. If you can beat that game without a cheat code, you can claim yourself as God. Also avoid all games LJN, weird no name companies, all movie baed games.

No way. One of the biggest draws of the NES for me is the so called bad games. Most of these bad games are considered bad just because they're harder to beat than today's games. Some are truly bad but i think it's funny playing some of them. The Angry Video Game Nerd's videos is what really sold me on picking up another NES. I haven't owned one for 20 years, now i'm having a blast with the classics and some of the bad games. You can find the games on eBay for no more than $5-$10 so it's not that bad finding cheap games to play. Can't wait to play Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, lol.
