30 NES Games From My Childhood [Listicle]

Gaming made up a big part of my childhood. Alongside Saturday cartoon binge-watching sessions and playing with an assortment of toys, I was lucky enough to have gotten a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES for most people) as a kid growing up.

I spent hours a day playing on that console when school was out. Fun times. The graphics were far from the spectacular imagery kids of today probably take for granted (to be fair, I also took for granted the relatively spectacular graphics of my time as a kid) and the sounds weren't exactly orchestral quality, but they were memorable. I'd even go so far to say that there exists a charm to them that many of today's games routinely utilize pixelated graphics and chiptune music even when even the most basic of today's smartphones can push Playstation 1-level graphics (i.e. full 3D with bells and whistles).
