Default VC games you've downloaded just for the nostalgia?

I bet many wii owners have downloaded some right stinkers just coz it reminds them of their childhood, am I right? Which ones have you purchased for that sole reason?

Yeah, I only remember the one from the movie that came out for the genesis. I remember it being uncharacteristically hard.

I don't download VC games for the nostalgia, coz I usually still have the old cartridges (or I have em again).

I guess it was just a response to the Power Rangers discussion.

Nostalgia doesn't equal crappy. Just because I'm nostalgic about something doesn't mean it wasn't great to begin with. I download vc games because the Video Game industry knew what it was doing back then and can't come up with anything better today. Thus, I'm nostalgic about the time when video games were better than just good.


EDIT: Huh, my first post had dual meaning, and even I didn't catch it.

I've downloaded a lot of VC games just for pure nostalgia (in many cases I still own the carts, too), but I wouldn't say any of them have been stinkers. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is one example of a nostalgia buy, and it's still as great as it ever was!
