Play Hundreds of NES Games in your browser

Kornie send me a a link to a great webpage that hosts hundreds of NES games that are playable in your browser. All you need is a java plugin and you are ready to go. VNES currently host 250 English games, 80 Japanese games, 10 prototype games, 25 unlicensed and 25 miscellaneous games.

The English games make the biggest part of the list and include some classic games like Super Mario Brothers 1-3, Double Dragon, Ikari Warriors, Bomberman and Mega Man. This is also a incredible opportunity to play some of the games that the angry Nintendo nerd is reviewing in his videocasts. Play some of the best and the worst games ever that came out for the NES.

Many Japanese games seem to be playable as well because there is not much story to tell. Most are action or jump and run games. The prototype game list has some interesting ones, heroes quest and final fantasy 2.

The author of the site seems to be adding new games regularly to the website which is great because some classic ones are still missing in the list. The games are loading somewhat slowly but are not that big so this is no real hindrance.
