Your Favorite Game for the original NES

Post Reply New Topic

The Legend of Zelda is pretty easily my favorite NES game.

Aside from that extremely obvious choice, there is a lesser known gem that I love and have replayed dozens of times by the name of The Guardian Legend. If you've never played it but you like Sci-Fi adventure games and top-scrolling shooters, I recommend giving it a try if you have the opportunity. It's the one game that I keep praying they remake for a current generation console. Whatever console they make it for, I would definitely purchase immediately.

that game is near impossible to go through.

my fave game for the NES has to be Contra(even if i do own it for the Japanese Famicom lol) followed by Super Contra(again i own the japanese version lol), Castlevania 1,2,3, Metalstorm, Mega Man 2 and naturally Zelda 1,2 and Mario bros 1,3(own in both PAL and Japanese lol)

Duck Hunt (clay shooting mode)

Contra, Legend of Zelda, and Metroid.

That's one game I wish I could have the Japanese version of...the American release paled so poorly =(

At least I can emulate it (plus translation!).

Kirby's Adventure... Ultimate Air Combat and Bandai Athletic Club were also pretty sophisticated for their time.

Duck Hunt
Kung Fu
Doublw dragon
Batman
WWf wrsttlemania

Jackal and Sky shark.... loved those games. SMB3 was a great game as well, I remember where I was standing when my mother gave it to me

SMB 1 (and somewhat 2 & 3)
Ninja Turtles 1 & 2
Duck Hunt
Hogan's alley
Excite bike (which I lost )


I also liked:
Kid Icarus
Little Nemo the dream master
Snake rattle 'n roll (which I was so effing stupid that I sold; I could strangle myself for it now.)
Eliminator boat duel
Nintendo world cup
Kirby

My old NES still works and I play these games from time to time.

metroid super mario bros and zelda

I didn't have NES but its Polish clone (a cult one here where I live), named Pegasus. I still have ten cartridges with the NES games and am going to sell them for quite a lot of cash (two of them are highly estimated by the Pegasus games collectors) for which I'll buy some jewellery for myself.

I love the NES (still play it from time to time). I even have a Famicom. I have many favorites, but top of the list would be:

-Legend of Zelda
-Bubble Bobble
-Doctor Mario
-Ninja Crusaders

Double Dragon, 1943, Super Mario 3, Castlevania 3, Metroid, and Marble Madness. I have fond memories to this day of beating some of those challenging games at a young age.

I played Mappy yesterday, it was a great fun. Back in the past I had this game once but it was found boring by me then, nevertheless now I love this game even if many NES games fans would find it as boring as I did then, I know, because basically nothing exciting happens in this game. Recently I also played Hook which game I just love (although I didn't manage to get to the very last levels) and I'm planning on repeating this pleasant experience today.

So far, I am in possession of the following cartridges with the games:

- Little Mermaid - one of my favorite ones out of those I have (I like the "feminine" NES games the amount of which is unfortunately small) but it has just those 5 levels which is WAY too little

- Hook - also one of my favorite ones (I truly enjoy the Peter Pan fandom)

- 168 in 1 - a cult Pegasus cartridge in here - contains many classis NES games like Contra, Mario and many less known ones like Binary Land or Lode Runner

- The Addams Family II - I like it for its atmosphere; when I played it in 2009 after a looooong break, I thought it was much less interesting than when I was doing it as a teen but now it's one of my favorite NES games ever again

- The Lost World: Jurrasic Park - boring, let alone that I don't like those "masculine" NES games, I prefer the non-gender specific and feminine ones to them (but for several exceptions like Contra and similar ones)

- Batman II - as above

- The Jungle Book - my most favorite NES game EVER

- Kiwi Kraze - boring and quite childish

- The Flintstones III - really very nice but it annoys me that the character you play with can't jump too high

- Golden Four - a set of 4 relatively nice games
