Finally got around to playing the first batch of submissions. Excellent games!
People say that it's easier to make a good (commercial quality) game for an 8-bit console than for newer systems. I don't think it's as much because of the technical limitations of an 8-bit system, but because the game industry in general wasn't as experienced back then.
Lan Master and
Lawn Mower prove this in a way. I am amazed by the quality of their music and graphics, it's a lot better than that of other NROM games I know. And both games are fun, too. Good job, Shiru!

The background collision glitches and dodgy physics made playing it a little frustrating, but it's a cool and fun concept. Dunno if there was any fix posted, all my roms are from June 5th.
Slappin' Bitches
My thumb died. I was a dirty cheater and enabled auto-fire eventually. I like how the music gets more intense as you go. There seems to be some strategy involved(?) to get most kills with a given wall integrity, but I found the game to be most enjoyable when I set it to 001 and just shot down tanks until the first one got me. Maybe re-balancing tank hit points and adding more unexpected events/different enemies that require fast reaction would make gameplay more diverse.

Couldn't get very far, but loved it. The houses and people fleeing from them made me smile. It's a nice detail.
Panesian Power
Not sure what to say about this one. I remember discussing with a few people about how the NES needs more sexy treatment, heheh. Bunnyboy made it happen!
I lost motivation after the first level, you can blame the internet and its abundance of true-color sexy pics for that.
I have yet to try Memblers's and Denine's entries.
