Gambling

1-2 Players

Hal added a whole new dimension of gambling to this casino sim... occasionally, people will drop by to swindle you, challenge you to games, or beg you for cash to feed their own compulsive gambling addictions.  This brings some depth to the otherwise straightforward gameplay, which includes such casino mainstays as blackjack, roulette, and keno.

Action

1 Player

Blend together three different game styles, then throw in cinema scenes that rival Ninja Gaiden's and dialogue straight from an 1980's crime drama, and what have you got?  One of the best games on the NES, that's what!  Vice: Project Doom is a great looking, great playing title with fast-paced racing and first-person gunplay adding zest to the familiar platforming action.

Creativity

1 Player

Videomation lets you make great works of art, or just make a mess out of your television screen, with a wide variety of drawing tools.  Although the color selection you're given is rather limited, this drawing utility is surprisingly powerful and easy to use, with lots of handy features and strong control of your onscreen pen.  It's the best creativity studio you're going to find on the NES.

Sports

1-2 Players

Most of Nintendo's early sports titles were simple but effective recreations of the games that inspired them.  This is not the case with Volleyball.  It's simple, oh yes, but it's anything but effective, with clumsy team control that will leave you hopelessly confused and a shrieking whistle after every play that threatens to drive you mad.  Spike this one in the trash!
