NES: Duck Hunt

Video below shows the gameplay of Duck Hunt after beating level 99.  That damn dog!

NES: The Legend of Zelda

So this was painful to watch.  Below is a video of the advertisement for The Legend of Zelda on the NES.  I'm not sure what Nintendo wanted people to find appealing about this commercial, but it was the 80s and a lot of ideas that came out of the 80s can not be explained.  I hope you gain a new perspective while watching.

NES: Skate or Die

Skate or Die is a game I really hated as I child.  I sucked at it.  I could never figure out how to do any of the tricks or how to win any of the modes of playing.  Keeping in mind that the game is called "Skate or Die," I was always under the impression that your character would die if you refused to skate.  So, as a chile mind you, I started the game and just left it on for an hour.  Yeah, you never die.  Below is a video of the game play.  Anyone else remember this game?

NES: Friday the 13th

I was never able to beat this game when I was a kid, but I revisited and beat the game about 3 years ago.  Despite my great effort to beat the game, the ending really sucked.  Below is a video of the ending.

When I beat it, I used the torch.  I was never able to find the pitchfork as is used in the video.  There are six characters in the game; three girls and three boys.  The main point of the game is to, of course, stay alive but also protect the campers from Jason.  You have to defeat Jason three times to win the game, and with each defeat, Jason becomes faster and stronger.  But like Punch Out for the NES, Jason's moves are predictable.  Just learn the pattern and you'll beat the game.
