Dark Ages? Only for Atari.. I mean this is the era of... Mario, Phantasy Star, Metroid, Ninja Gaiden, a plethora of sports and shooting games, the emergence of RPGS like FF, DQ, Zelda, Star Tropics... This is also the emergence of...Metal Gear, 1942, Street Fighter (may have been 89' I forget), side scroller beat 'em ups, Double Dragon, Megaman, Castlevania, Rystar, up-down-left-right... (not typing that secret all out) and so many others. The NES probably had around 1500 games...100-150 or so were great games...50+ of which hold up even today (Mario 1-3, Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Punch Out, FF, DQ, RBI Baseball, 1942, Megaman, Jeopordy, Double Dare, Kirby, Duck Hunt, Rystar, Ninja Gaiden, Metal Gear are some of my favorites...need I go on?)



People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
