Do You Have Fun When Trying An NES Game For The First Time?

Like any other system, it depends on the game. Some games are fun as soon as you start playing like Super Mario Bros. or Contra. Some games are terrible like Conan or Back to the Future. And some games you have to learn what the game wants from you and then it's fun like Battle of Olympus or Castlevania II.

And it's not just nostalgia, like others have suggested. I can get an NES game I've never played, and have fun with it. Just bought Magician for the NES, since I never heard of it. Always happy to check out a new action-RPG.

Like others have said it depends on the game your playing but im still finding games I've never tried and having fun. The nes is loaded with fun playable games.

Ok so I'll be honest, I own a multi cart that has all the levels unlocked and has over 450 games on it. I do like the games on that cartridge but because I have a vast majority on that cartridge, I am hesitant to buy any actual copies. Yea I know it's fake and a lot of games are probably home brews, but it is not like Action 52 was at least as far as I can tell

Nothing wrong with that. Old games can be hard to get or costly to buy and if it just simply wanting to play them, it's the best way to do it. I want to play through Little Samson entirely some day, but I will never buy an actual copy of the game, I will just emulate it.

I'll often put a game on my Everdrive and try it out to see if it's worth buying. A lot of NES games can be a fraction of the price if you buy the Famicom version too. I have FC Genjin (Bonk), Bucky O'Hare, DuckTales 2 Famicom carts that I adapt to an NES's 72 pin and they play just fine on my systems. They were each sub 20 dollars when I bought them a few years ago.
