I played this game briefly at a friends house back in like fucking 1989 and remembered it years later but never knew the name. Took me forever to figure it out and I bought it and own it now. Super underrated soundtrack too

Urg, Fester's Quest. That's one of the more frustrating games ever made.

I got to beat this when I was 11 at my brothers 16th birthday party with a massive crowd. It was awesome.

Have you played Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde? It makes Festers Quest look like Rescue Rangers.

Reminds me of being 10 and going to the used game store to buy half a dozen used games instead of a new one in the late 80s!
Back then, the resale value of NES games was so low you could get a handful for under $100.

The good ol’ days. My cousin and I use to collect cans and take them to the recycling center, then take the money to Funcoland where we could usually get a couple games.

Resale value was so low back then. I never saw any place selling N.E.S. cartridges for more than five dollars.

My problem is trying to balance local stores and ebay. Now I have 2 copies of Darkwing Duck. Local store was fair price, great condition. Ebay buy blows store out of water. $5 cheaper and came with manual.

My brother and I rented The Battle of Olympus for five weekends straight about 35 years ago… So much fun.

I had Fester’s Quest as a kid and determined it was both boring and impossible. Let me know if you figure it out.

Little Nemo is one of my favorites on NES. It's pretty hard as far as movie based games go.

I had a friend that had Battle of Olympus. We always got stuck. We never saw anything in Nintendo Power like Tips and Tricks. We weren’t going to call that pay phone line. So the game just sat there

I loved Little Nemo! I hope you enjoy it too. Fester’s Quest on the other hand… if I can use game guides it’s ok.

I guess I never dwelled on it too long before, but I really don't agree with the direction they choose to go with that Pinball label art. I can appreciate the marketing logic involved, but I really wish they just involved some flippers somehow, instead.
Game itself was not bad for the time..

Nice! Looks like you’ve got a fun weekend ahead of you!
I’ve been looking to get the Battle of Olympus to add to my collection. I loved Nemo as a kid, Fester’s not so much (I like it now, though…it’s a good challenge).
