Favorite 80's video game

I'm not the only one who liked Contra? :) (up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-A-B-A-B-start...was that the code?) Contra, The Legend of Zelda, and StarTropics were my favorites back on the old NES system. I didn't play any other consoles or arcade machines. :(

Favorite was the original Legend of Zelda.

Closely followed by Punch-Out!

 

[stxbuck]

Contra, Centipede, Super Tecmo Bowl, Dragon's Lair, Pit Fighter (probably my all time favorite).

I remember it as up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-a-b-start. I could be wrong on that, though.

Impossible Mission ( for Commodore64) was great. I'm not sure when that even became available.

Jeopardy on NES. My sister and I memorized the questions and then suckered friends and family into playing against us. Never for money, though. I guess we weren't as smart as we thought.

I always liked playing Karate Champ at the arcade.
