Howdy All, So... I've been concentrating on getting my Sega Genesis collection finished off and pretty much have now (Only Sparkster left on my wish list, but I can't afford that right now - lol). I want to get started on a NES collection next, but am not too familiar with NES as I only briefly had one back in the day. I'm hoping the fine folks at this forum can help me compile a wish list of games I could keep an eye out for in my various adventures here and there. I don't really have a lot of money to spend on them just yet, but I do bump into really good deals on older games every now and again, so I figure it's a good idea to get me a wish list created ASAP. Obviously, the Mario games are a must, but other than that, I'm kinda lost for now. I don't care for first person shooters or RPGs too much, but really, really good/fun ones could be a possibility. And I defintely put fun factor far above technical quality (in other words, I'm all for technically flawed games if they're fun). So, if anyone has any suggestions, I'm happy to hear them (bonus points to anyone who can also add in how (generally speaking - no need for specifics) rare or common and cheap or expensive their suggested games titles are). |

The most expensive game I would recommend for the price would be Gun-Nac. It's pricey but goddamn it's fun. Assuming you're into shmups, that is. And if you ARE into shmups, you should also look into Gradius, Life Force, and 1943. For platformers, get the Castlevania games, the Megaman games, the Ninja Gaiden games, Shatterhand, Power Blade, Shadow of the Ninja, and the first TMNT game. If you're into racing, well, pick a different console. :p RC Pro-Am and its sequel are good, though. The NES has no FPS to speak of but there are some first-person shooting elements to Golgo 13 and the Mafat Conspiracy (neither game would I recommend though). If you're into puzzle games, there's always Tetris and Hatris, both of which are a ton of fun. Wario's Woods is pretty good, too. The Lolo series as well as the MacVenture titles are worth picking up if you're into puzzle/adventure-types (as is Nightshade). The Disney games by Capcom can also be fun, but not terribly challenging. Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers are meant for easier audiences (the sequels are as well, but are quite pricey), while Tale Spin is a bit more challenging (and a shmup). The more expensive titles like Panic Restaurant and Little Samson are fun, but unless you're going into collector mode aren't worth the price of the carts, so just emulate those. And then of course there's the original Legend of Zelda. ;) And get Jackal, too, just because it's awesome. And then Contra and Super C. And the Goonies II. And Double Dragon 2 (it's the best of the 3 IMO). And Blaster Master, Batman, and Journey to Silius. And Fester's Quest. Y'know what...just get all of them. There is far more good than crap on the system, so pick up anything that isn't nailed down. :p |

You cant go wrong with Donkey Kong. Also Super Mario Bros 1, 2 & 3. I suggest avoiding Mario Bros arcade, the NES ver has odd jumping. Others include Blaster Master, 3-D Worldrunner, Duck Hunt, Double Dragon 1+2, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Battletoads, Zelda 1+2. River City Ransom, Kirby's Adventure, Ghosts and Goblins. Just some games I like of the top of my head. |

Here are some of my suggestions, talking by my favorites... Platformers/Arcade... Bubble Bobble - port of the arcade. Different, but still plays well. Rainbow Islands - another port, but a lot more different than the original. Actually it's kind of nice, but sort of difficult. Castlequest - it's a puzzle and platformer mix. You collect keys to open doors. Not easy as it sounds since the game is big to explore! Puzzles... Tetris 2 - nice puzzle game, nothing relating to "tetris" Dr.Mario - classic Nintendo's puzzle game. Kickle Cubicle - very fun puzzle game involving creating new pathways. Solomon's Key - While it could also be a platformer, it's really a nice to try. Odds and Ends that are worth trying. Clu Clu Land - Gets repetitive, but two players is a nice touch. Rollerball - If you play two players, it'll be frantic. Metal Storm - Short, but very fun platformer. Milon's Secret Castle - Sort of challenging (unless you find the way to continue) platformer, but you need to get instructions to start you off. Mighty Bomb Jack - unless you are aware of the arcade version, it's not bad. Personally, I enjoy it. M.C. Kids - if you look pass the obvious endorsement, it's a nice platformer. Does actually get a bit challenging as you progress. I can actually go on. I love my NES. ;D |
