Useless NES Facts
Did you know some Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt carts don't have the official Nintendo seal of quality on them, like all other liscensed games do (to my knowledge)? It's true, I have one of them. I've checked out dozens of SMB/DH carts and they all have the seal, except this one I have. I don't know exactly how common they are, though.
Actor Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda, after, you guessed it, the NES game!
A sequel to the American civil war game North and South was released - in Japan only
It is rumored that the super-awesome game Sweet Home was in development for U.S. release. The reason it was stopped - the main producer killed himself after threats from the Japanese equivilant to the mafia.
European NES games were a lot more censored. The human heroes in Contra were changed to robots, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had to be called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. List of TV shows on which I've seen NES stuff
Saved By the Bell, Designing Women, Fresh Prince, Mickey Mouse Club, Growing Pains
Names on my carts
Did you ever scribble your name on every one of your NES games with permanent marker? Me neither, but for some reason a lot of people thought it was a good idea to do just that. Here's a list of names and other stuff written on my games (well, at least you can't say it's been done before). Who knows, maybe someone will read this and realize I have one of thier old games.
