DOUBLE POST EXTRAVAGANZA!) PLEASE LOCK :D!

I used to love fishing games when I was a kid. There were some really good ones but I can't remember the names of any of them. I really enjoyed trolling around in a boat, keeping an eye on the depth meter and then switching to the side view of the water dragging the lure around and trying to catch something.

What's the best fishing game for NES, Genesis, or SNES?

For the NES - The Black Bass and The Blue Marlin. I believe a combination remake pack of these games was released on the PlayStation. The Black Bass was actually a REALLY popular series in Japan, there was a sequel on the Famicom (or was The Black Bass II the game released as The Black Bass USA on the NES..might have been - compare the roms, I'm pretty sure now that The Black Bass II JPN was The Black Bass USA) and a few on the Super Nintendo but I've never played those.

Of course the best fishing games are on the Dreamcast, Sega Bass Fishing and Sega Marine Fishing - make sure you use the fishing controller.

There is a double PSX pack! but I would also recommend Super Black Bass for the SNES as well as Bass Landing for the PS1. Bass Landing many take a while to get into (the tutorial is rather lenghty), but after you get the hand of it it's the best fishing simulator out there.

2 thumbs way up for the Dreamcast fishing games!

I only have a few PC fishing games and none for the consules. I'd suggest the DC ones though because I know they are great and worth getting the consule and games.

Totally.

And I'll throw Fishing Derby for the 2600 into the ring also - excellent 2-player game.

Yea, I second fishing derby. When my friends would come over we'd play fishing derby, bowling, football, and combat.

Ditto on Super Black Bass for the SNES. Still the longest by far I played any game in one sitting, about 14 hours. Don't ask me why, I have no idea. :)

My favorite fishing game is the fishing mini-game in Zelda:OOT on the N64. There is just something so right about it.

Lots of good recommendations so far. I just have to emphasize the need on picking up The Blue Marlin again for NES. It's my favorite fishing game out of the ones I've played. It's hardly realistic, but man oh man is it a fun romp.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Damnit Mills, please put a "please lock" message in the title of either this or your other double post fishing thread, now they're BOTH big threads. x_x LOL

[dbiersdorf]

While I'd agree with SEGA Bass Fishing being the best to date, the fishing mini-game in Zelda: Link's Awakening is the best 2D I've found.
