Somebody made a good point earlier saying gameplay was all you had because you didn't have incredible graphics.

There is some truth to this but it wasn't like people were saying back during the Nintendo days "Man, these graphics suck. At least the games are fun."

Most of the games looked great for the time. (I think many of them look good to this day, but that's another topic.) Outside of arcade games, there wasn't much you could compare NES games to other than other home consoles on par or below it like the Master System, Atari 8-bit computer line, and the Commodore 64.

The first game that stood out to me from a graphics perspective back then was the NES port of the arcade version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I beat that game in my local arcade countless times and the limitations of the NES were very apparent once I played the port. Then my brother bought a Genesis and the difference in power became even more apparent.
