River City Ransom is one of my favorite NES games of all time. One of my most complete homebrew games (informally called River City Ripoff) was a persistent multiplayer game that was essentially the same game, but with a bigger world. I even used the sprites. I couldn’t ever release it for obvious legal reasons, but it was run to play with some friends when testing it. I wished they had made something like it when they were doing those Steam sequels.


Have fond memories of playing double dragon as a two player game with my childhood friends


The kunio series was always fun to play. I remember spending a lot of time with crash n the boys street challenge because I could utilize the turbo functionality of my nes advantage controller to do crazy stuff.
