Now that I've paid for my PC-10/NES Adapter and am waiting for it to be built and shipped, it got me to thinking about which game I'll be trying out on the PC-10 Machine first. I tried to come up with a title I loved on the NES, a title I couldn't get in PC-10 or Vs. form, and a game I'd likely want to play for a good long stretch of time (as I don't wanna keep pulling my machine out to change games). So far, my top 3 choices are:

Kid Icarus
Section Z
Castlevania II - Simon's Quest

For those of you that bought the adapter, what title are you gonna try first?
 
Bought the adapter, no PC-10 yet though... Battle Kid would be a definite must. BK2 will be released shortly, and hopefully Super Bat Puncher gets underway again soon.
 
First game I put in my NES Adapter was Pinball, then Mega Man 2, then Zelda.

Right now I have Mega Man 6 in it. I am going to move the board to that I can reach the adapter from the coin door. Nintendo cabinets are a BITCH to move.

I am also going to make some dollies that will fit right into the base of a Ninty and then I will just leave them on the bottom so I can roll them just like I do with all my cabinets.

Zelda is a good choice, but I'll need the player's guide next to me just to get anywhere in the game. I actually had to pull it out to try and play Metroid a few times on my machine. The only problem with RPG's on the PC-10 is that it sucks standing there that long to play them. I loved Metroid and Rygar on the NES (when I was 14), but really don't play them much on the Playchoice 10. Seems like too much of a time commitment.

I wonder if anyone will choose Rambo or Bayou Billy as their first game?

I am good with games with huge maps.

OMG! Bayou Billy is such a horrible game! The Playchoice does have a pause button...

I wish I could get Kirby working on my adapter. That game is great!

Might I add that you might want to get a Famicom to NES adapter (some Gyromites have them inside and pick up some of the great Famicom games that were never released in the USA.













Then there are these too:

Yeah, I hated Bayou Billy and Rambo, but still have fond memories of them.

That was another sucky birthday present. My birthday is June 2, and I would have to play whatever shitty game I got until X-mas. Luckly, I think I got a couple games that birthday, and I had found out about funcoland mail order used games.
 
Funny you bring up Bayou Billy. Do light gun games work? I hate playing Bayou Billy's light gun sequences with the controller (seem to remember that being an option).

I've got a Power Pak so that will be the first thing I plug in...

but I don't have a PC-10. This adapter has actually made me decide that owning one would be worthwhile, so for me it's adapter first and cabinet second. :p

EDIT: Well that is unless I decide to pop a PC-10 board into Super Punch-Out!! now and then, but considering it would require rewiring and moving the cabinet around that is pretty unlikely.
 
I'd actually like to try Urban Champion out. I remember it being in all the early NES game flyers but I never knew anyone who owned it, so never played it. I used to love the NES category logos. Action, Adventure, Sports, etc. The early Nintendo branded silver boxed games were the best.

You will be disappointed.

I doubt it. I like the simple games from the early days of Nintendo. I stopped caring about NES releases after '88 so all I really know is the earlier ones. The Bayou Billy/Rambo games were bought by my best friend in 1990 when his brothers got a used NES from a garage sale. Before those titles I really hadn't touched the NES for 2 years. Half the titles people mention nowadays I never even knew existed.
 
I thought about Zelda, Dragon Warrior, etc. but those games to me were about chillin' on a couch for long periods of time. I'm 6'1" and I can't hunch over my PC-10 for that long. Therefore, I submit my chosen three:

1. RBI Baseball
2. Blades of Steel
3. California Games
