Dude, I remember those Christian NES games, only the one I had you controlled a dude who walked around throwing fruit at people, and if they were possessed (by demons of course) the demon would fly out of them and leave. If they weren't possessed they got mad at you because hey, you just threw fruit at them. It was great.

cohappy, did you ever get the one where you were David and had to collect the sheep? I think there was another game about fruit in there too, but I can't remember. Either way, it was a nightmare I would like to forget.

cohappy: So how exactly did you tell if people were posessed? And did you take the obvious lesson of the game to heart, and start throwing fruit at random strangers in real life, on the off chance that they were on Beelzebub's payroll? Because, you know, it's slightly more civilized than burning them if they weigh the same as a duck. If you get sick of playing regular bad NES games, feast your emulators on the amazing world of pixellated delights that is I-Mockery's ROM Hack review page, featuring the greatest breakfast-related video game of all time, Wilford Brimley Battle. Truly, the only downside to this game is that after a few dozen hours of sweat-soaked kung fu oat advocacy, you just won't want to return to web designing or cooking or playing bass for the Rolling Stones or whatever it is you people have for day jobs.

The worst is one called 'Taboo'. It's not even a game; it just deals tarot cards to you and tells you your 'future' in largely unintelligible Engrish.

FACT: Deadly Towers was the first nintendo game I ever played in my entire life!

So how exactly did you tell if people were posessed? That's just the thing man, as far as I could tell there was no possible way of knowing whether or not somebody was possessed before fruiting them. In fact, the game seems to even recognize the paranoia it's suggesting, since for large parts of it you walked around residential neighborhoods fruit-bombing gardeners and business men with briefcases (almost always possessed) and such. Sadly katemonkey, this one was the only Christian game I ever played. My parents bought it for my brothers and I, and I think the constant merciless jokes about it bothered my parents more than any violent video game nintendo had out.

He was RIGHT ON about Dragonlance. I could not figure out that piece of crap for the life of me. I also played Muppet Babies when I was a kid (upon reflection I was a very, very faggy little kid.) Horrid game too. And where's Waldo sucked the wax tadpole too... And I also played... Damn, I played a LOT of Nintendo when I was a kid apparently.

I've seen a few lists like this. And for some reason, my favorite game of all time is usually on it. Thank goodness A Boy And His Blob is absent this time.

Is Tag Team Pro Wrestling the inspiration for Homestarrunner's Strong Bad?

McBain: Yes, among other NES games. Homestar is steeped in video game history.
