Who made the best Unlicensed NES Games?

[Ruudos]

Even with Tengen, I would have voted for Camerica.
Dizzy and Micro Machines!

Camerica and Color Dreams!!!, i like Captain Comic a lot, yes i know, it´s pathetic, but i play the PC version first when i was a child and like very much, so the NES version is cool too

I voted for AVE. I have a few of their games and the only game I don't enjoy is Deathbots. Even then, I know someone who loves that game, for whatever reason, lol. It would have been better with a more fair difficulty level and less cheap hits. IMO....Double Strike is a fair shooter, even if it is lightweight 'kids' stuff. Dudes is a fine game and Pyramid is a good puzzle game if you actually sit down and can master it. Fitting together some weird shaped pieces is a decent challenge.

To paraphrase the Rock, 'who in the blue hell is American Game Carts?' I know the catalog for those other companies but not AGC. What did they even do? I feel dumb asking but I've seen and/or own games (don't own Panesian, though) from every one of those companies except AGC.

[Ruudos]

Shockwave is their most popular game.
Don't know about any others, possibly one or two other games.

[TRM]

it's a tough call. I enjoy many of the games from all of those companies. I will say though, Camerica and AGCI had some of the nicest graphics seen on the NES. Ultimate Stuntman for example, looks really nice. If AGCI would have released Crossbow (yes I have seen screens) it would be up there too...those graphics look really nice as well.

Which company made the best unlicensed NES games? Not counting Tengen, because they would win easily.

well no kidding Tengen did have pac man you know and alot of other pac's, and tetris, and RBI Baseball. Ok i voted for Camerica aka Codemasters because well they were the best choice out of all of them and i have at least played 1 of their games.

[vintagegamecrazy]

camerica all the way

[pango]

It is most definitely NOT Cony...

[Dr. Morbis]

I think it would have been much more interesting if you had included Tengen. Camerica vs. Tengen: that would have been an interesting poll. And no, Tengen wouldn't win "easily" as you have presupposed.

[pango]

My vote goes to whoever invented the Polystation.

[skittles]

I have to go with Camerica on this one, Micro Machines was one of my most favorite games.

[daynum]

Camerica/Codemasters. And I also would have picked that over Tengen given the choice. Some good games are Micro Machines, Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy, Dizzy the Adventurer, Linus Spacehead, Firehawk, Ultimate Stuntman, Bee-52. Fun times. Not forgetting the great value Quattro games as well.

[DigitalSpace]

Another vote for Camerica.

[Rejinx]

I have only played wisdom tree and Camerica games, so Camerica by a mile, bee 52 rules.

[Speedy_NES]

Camerica/Codemasters, regardless of whether Tengen is included or not. Codemasters made some of my favorite [NES] games, so even if we compared these unlicensed companies to the companies that created licensed games, I would still vote for Camerica

[NESaholic]

Camerica also,nice graphics and corse the cool games like Micro Machines and Dizzy's but i like Linus alot also.

[Damaniel]

Definitely Camerica. Micro Machines was a better game than 90 percent of the licensed stuff, and Linus Spacehead was fun too, but unforgivingly *hard*!

[B - Mark]

I voted in Camerica.
