Suggest some NES games for me
 
I just picked up a used NES along with a few staples (Super Mario 1,2, and 3, Zelda, Tecmo Bowl). I'm going to go hunting for used NES games and I've got a list of games I remember playing. However at the time I was a poor high school student and I only had a few games. Mostly I borrowed or rented.

So what really great NES games do you guys suggest I look into?

Excitebike, duck hunt, guerilla war, super contra, super tecmo bowl

Man, I can go on and on.

Was Punch Out an NES or SNES game? I remember that one being great.

KingSmoth 02-21-03 12:30 AM

Punch-Out was on the NES, but there was also Super Punch-Out on the SNES. Awesome games indeed.

I missed out on so many good NES games when I was young. I always bought crappy games. Star Tropics was the only one I wish I still had to this day.

Double Dragon, Caveman Games, and NARC were three of my favorites, but at least the later two were not mainstream hits.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was good also.

Golgo 13, Baseball Simulator 1.000, Kid Icarus, Rygar, Pro Wrestling, Commando, Ghosts & Gobblins, Double Dribble, Deja Vu, and of course... Final Fantasy.

The Guardian Legend was one of my favorites. It was set up like a sci-fi version of the original Zelda, but instead of dungeons, there were vertical scrolling shoot-em-up levels.

A highly underrated masterpiece!! Wonderful, wonderful game!!

Also by the same company, the most amazing shooter on the NES: GUN NAC

Red Dog 02-21-03 08:39 AM

Tecmo Super Bowl - much better than the original - double the number of plays.

Castlevania was a favorite of mine as well.

RBI Baseball I & II were great. So was Tetris.

cowboy 02-21-03 10:33 AM

I remember spending lotsa time playing river city ransom, super dodge ball, blaster master, and super spike v ball. river city ransom was my favorite game for the nes. 2 players, lotsa variety for an nes game.

PixyJunket 02-21-03 11:47 AM

Oh.. hell yes. River City Ransom is one of the finest games of all time.

"BARF!"
