Dragon Warrior...all of them (maybe not 2)
Legend of Zelda...definately not 2 Mario Bros....all of them Tetris, Dr. Mario Ninja Gaiden 1 - 3 Faxanadu (I played it alot, but i'm iffy on it's quality, so decide on your own) Bubble Bobble Bionic Commando Rygar Contra Final Fantasy...duh (the Dragon Warrior series is definately better RPGs for back then though) Rad Racer Spy Hunter minds drawing a blank right now but there are many others...I'll edit the post as they come to me.

Little Ninja Brothers - It's kinda of an RPG of sorts. I really like the game (even more so when I was younger). It's fun.
Super Mario Bros. 3 - In my opinion, THE best Super Mario Bros. Mike Tyson's Punch Out- You kinda have to like boxing, but I thought it was fairly good. Maniac Mansion- This game is weird, yet good. River City Ransom- Do you like beating people up? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2- It was better than part 1, and I liked it (and not just because it had turtles in it). -------------------- kame, tortue, tortuga, schildkröte, tartaruga, turtle "Arthur Dent?"

Spy vs. Spy (classic! better 2 player game though) and Rampage
The rest have been said. -------------------- The clouds ran away, opened up the sky And one by one I watched every constellation die And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star I should've known, walked all the way home To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone -Atmosphere "Always Coming Back Home to You" |

only ONE person mentioned castlevania. gosh, im pissed. 1 and 3 in particular, 2 isnt without its charm though. #1 is probably my favorite NES game.
faxanadu becomes very enjoyable, but sometimes takes a while to get into. bomberman 1 and 2 mike tysons punch out wizards and warriors zelda 1 and 2 pin bot any contra game crystalis the guardian legend metroid 10 yard fight (the ONLy sports game i like, its so stupid its fun.) mega man 1-6. of course, the original SMB blaster master dragon warrior final fantasy excitebike bad dudes (its only good part is the first scene, after that its garbage) thats really just to name a few and keep the list short, my nintendo collection is the pride of all who see it. 150-200 games and counting, though my bass player has 312 or something like that. -------------------- You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun, a newborn in the light Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death Hello to eternity and live for every breath Your time will come... |

I would've mentioned them, as the fact is I love the games and collect them (I have all 3 of the ones for the NES). Just I thought that we weren't going to be double-listing, and if someone else has already suggested it, to not post, since someone had suggested that's what we do.  Also, are you planning on playing these games on the regular platform itself, or on an emulator? |

Marble Madness - Incredibly inventive and addictive, an all time classic. The premise is too unusual for it to be released today.
Adventure Island - I can't believe these games weren't mentioned. Some of the best pure side scrollers on the system. Destiny of an Emperor 1+2 - An unbiased eye might consider them better RPGs than the NES FFs and DWs. Definitely easier to get into. DoaE 1, not Suikoden, was the first RPG to have over 100 PCs. -------------------- Sabin: ... to Mom... and to Figaro. "A true classic never goes out of style!"

River City Ransom has been mentioned multiple times already. Has anyone mentioned the soccer game and dodge game that used those characters? I can't remember their names right now, but those were great fun.

There is one game that is not being named that took countless hours away from my childhood. Even today, it continues to be a great game in my opinion.
The name of the game: Ducktales. This is no joke post, the game really is amazing. I dare one of you to challenge its glory.  -------------------- Je ne t'aime plus, Mon amour... Je ne t'aime plus, Tous les jours... |

I still have the Ducktales cartridge, which rattles suspiciously. No joke, everytime I played that game, the weather got sunny.
I recommend Gargoyle's Quest II, it's an RPG/platformer starring the Red Devil from Ghosts 'N Goblins. |
