Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) Nostalgia #1

I'm going to throw out a little something different here, and perhaps we'll do this again from time to time.

I'm going to give you two random screenshots from old Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games.

In the comments, guess the name of the games and share your fondest memory of each game as well.

Let's see who can get them right!

Game #1: I'm tossing you a softball here. If you spent any time playing the NES in the 80s, you had to have come in contact with this game at least once. Hint: You picked up weapons and car upgrades off of the track as you raced.


Game #2: A little harder. Hint: This was an SNK title, and one of the cool parts about it was when you picked up the machine gun. You could shoot your enemies or punish them with a vicious physical blow from the blunt side of the gun!

How deep into the rainbow do you see?

Today's blog post idea comes courtesy of the blog Pensieve who in turn got it from the blog "Rocks in my Dryer."

29

I am shocked that I couldn't name more than 29 colors in 5 minutes. I really racked my brain and that truly is the best I could do. All those years of coloring with the Crayola 120+ deluxe crayon set and I can barely remember 20% of them?

Am I losing my memory and am I just blissfully unobservant of the trivial?
