OK, the Nintendo Four Score wasn’t released 20 years ago–but the NES was! Feel old yet? As luck would have it, I have my very own Four Score! Although, of my 80 or so NES games, I’ve never been able to figure out which ones actually use the dang thing. I finally have the answer! The list below highlights the NES games which support this handy-dandy four-player adapter! Unfortunately, I think I only have one of these games– Swords and Serpents. Even so, I’ll have to give it a try. In the meantime, I think I’ll look around for a copy of Gauntlet II. Even though I really don’t need it–it’s obviously the best title of the bunch and will likely be the most fun to play if I’m ever able to get four people in a room to try it.
- Gauntlet II
- Greg Norman’s Golf Power
- Kings of the Beach
- M.U.L.E.
- A Nightmare on Elm Street – Coincidentally, this is rated one of the worst coded games ever for NES
- Super Jeopardy!
- Super Spike V’Ball
- Swords and Serpents
Back in the late 70s and the early 80s, Coleco was one of the big names in handheld electronics. Besides Coleco there was really only one competitor that I can remember and that is Mattel. Mattel had its own line of electronic LED based handhelds that were fun, portable and relatively cheap. As LCD screens became less expensive to produce and the graphics could be displayed in higher resolutions, the LED games that were once popular faded into non-existence.
