I would think that most people posting on this site are under 30. Therefore, you have candy coated memories of how great the NES was. If you were born in the seventies instead of the eighties and had 2600s in their peak years, you will acknowledge that no home videogame hardware ever passed the 2600 in its prime. |
I may be under 30, but the 2600 was my first gaming experience. I never even owned a NES. And yet, I still know that you are completely off your rocker.
By the way, you really screwed up your arguement trying to defend Pitfall and Pitfall 2. Those are the worst platformers I have ever played. They are slow, boring, repetitive, have no clear goal, and are filled with cheap ways to die. You should have picked a game that was actually fun to play, like Keystone Kapers. That was a good platformer. There was a real sense of urgency, a clear goal, harder difficulty levels, and varied traps.
Even then, Keystone Kapers doesn't compare to most games on the NES.

I already posted reviews from Classic Game Room that gave both games 5 out of 5. And in turn, those videos were given 5 out of 5 star reviews from people that watched them on youtube, so I don't feel as if your opinion has any shot at being the only valid one.

Are you sure you want to appeal to other people's opinions and opinions of those opinions? I guess you just did, so let's go down that road.
Everyone in this thread disagrees with your opinion that the 2600 was better than the NES. By your logic, that makes your opinion wrong, and everyone else right.

I guess I have to agree with the believers then. But even if I give you Mario being superior to Pitfall, I really haven't seen one shred of evidence to contradict the notion that the 2600 had far better shooters coming from the early age of arcade than the shooters that were available on the NES. Megalomania, Missle Command, Moon Patrol, Atlantis, Yar's Revenge, Centipede, Phoenix, Berzerk, Vanguard, Defender, Space Invaders, Asteroids, River Raid those games were never matched by any shooters on the NES.
The NES never had a racer the equal of Enduro either.
So, that still adds up to the 2600 being better than the NES.
