Arenafoot Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 Over at "80's Toys From My Attic" Facebook group, they have come up with a March Madness style tournament for the best NES game out of the 64 on the bracket..... "Here's the official NES Bracket for the tournament that will begin this weekend. The 3 games that were added based on your votes were Ikari Warriors,Maniac Mansion,and Marble Madness....good luck to all three of them in Round 1 I made a point of putting titles with sequels or similar themes together like all the Marios, Castlevanias, wrestling games,etc. I didn't want the Final Four to have two or more of the same game. Other than that I did my best to place them in the best spots to ensure the best matches in the later rounds(it wasn't easy...they are all great games!!). Hope you all enjoy!!!" https://www.facebook.com/80s-Toys-From-My-Attic-579637155447790/ Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne
