aussie rules footy on NES

[Armageddon]

Just got beaten 21-2-128 to 2-0-12 as Darwin!

Can someone give me a rundown of the proper keys to use (on computer of course)

Cheers to the guy who found the site.

Just played it on that weblink, remember how bad I was at it! hope my outcome isn't prophetic of this weekend... Adelaide - 114 Essendon - 7! lol

Weren't too far off

Ever notice how the guy who comes on to give his match summary between quarters bares a striking resemblance to Ian Chappell?
I still play it with my mates now, i am totally crap at it but it is a huge laugh especially after a few beers.

For some reason when I was a kid I thought it was dennis cometti

The only thing better than this game is All Jazzed Up

If they made this into a game it would rival aussie rules on NES.

I love that game and I still have it. Does anyone know why it won't let me search for other games on that site?

I've got it, and the Super International Cricket game as SNES as well.

My highest score at SIC is 10/1536, naturally I still have the ball by ball stats from that game.

It has its place in Wikipedia:

I had an idea, and I'm not sure if it would work, but it might. If any of you have the game and are using the Nestopia, (http://nestopia.sourceforge.net/), emulator, it has a built "netplay" option. I'm thinking if we used this, we could probably play online against one another. I don't think we can watch a game in progress however. Has anyone tried this at all or willing to give it a go?

 

[GrayNicolls]

yeah an absolute classic game

"out of bounds on the full" will always be the ultimate video gaming moment for me growing up along with picking boulder, swamp and mervyn in the cricket game

i used to thrash the kick the kick to practice the goal kicking and i loved how you could snap impossible reverse bananas from the pocket and they would float through daicos style

easily the best afl game and how good was it to take a brett burton style grab

Yeah, and that is a sad reflection on the AFL games of the past 10 years, that a game on the old Nintendo system is STILL the best aussie rules game there's been. I love it.

His hair looks very much like Dennis', but with the Chappelli mo. Probably to get around copyright issues they ambiguated his look a bit

http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/578118-aussie-rules-footy/faqs/30545 - also I just bought this for NES again - I'll need to see if it wasn't some sort of racist joke that Darwin couldn't play or something. I remember failing miserably as Darwin but not as other teams. I will double check and confirm when I get my ebay purchase..

I hope it's just that I sucked - it would be really sad if they nerfed a team because of racism. Maybe hobart / other fictional teams in it suck too though, I'll have to test. Maybe it's trying to show a local / VFL equivalent state team vs national AFL team or something.

Had it as a Kid but I sucked at it. Could Barley Score in a Game Though

Now have it on my Computer and Play it on a Emulator and Also now have it on my Samsung Galaxy 5 Phone

Out of bounds... on the full.

Great memories...

There was a cricket game on the Super Nintendo that was pretty good too. After every ball you could press the 'HOWZAT!' button and more often than not lbw would be called.

International Cricket and Super International Cricket are the Cricket Games you are Thinking Of

What Happened to the Video?

All I remember is once you had the hit outs figured out you could tap it to your guy and run in and kick goal after goal.

How do you do that?

From memory you either need to learn to tap it down his throat with the "A" button or knock it in front of him with the "B" button. Once the rover runs onto it he should be able to hit a forward in the 50. Go back and split like the middle like your Jason Dunstall and repeat.

Of course at the same age I could complete Super Mario Brothers with no warps without dying so maybe I was just better at gaming back then.

The knock can speed the goal even more once you get going and have the mid kicking at just the right time your FF could then run on to it in the goal square and kick it time after time.

Yea you're right, both methods worked from memory but the one you described lent itself to much heavier scoring.

Had a few games, fairly easy to get the hang of it again. I prefer to punch rather than tap in the ruck, makes for a slightly harder challenge. What a classic!
