NES extravaganza 2!

Date played: October 9th
Platform: Dreamcast
Time played: 60 minutes
Session fun rating: 10/10

Me and my brothers were asked (politely) to vacate the living room so that my girlfriend and my mom could watch some reality shows and since we are such nice guys, we obliged.  I have this great setup in my basement with a bunch of old consoles, including a Dreamcast with a bunch of home brew software.  One of these is a huge collection of NES games.
This is where the magic happens

We made a number of interesting discoveries and had a huge dose of nostalgia.

-Indy Heat is still amazing fun and that Off Road racing is vastly inferior to it.
-We still remember most of the track designs in Micro Machines.
-Adventure Island is tougher than we remembered and the music still rocks.
-Star Tropics still holds up.
-Jurassic Park sucks balls.
-California Games doesn't make any sense.

We also confirmed that we can still have a shit load of fun together, no matter how old a game is.
