A tip with Castlequest, because its fairly easy to trap yourself.
Secret Menu
There’s a secret menu that can be accessed in the game if you have a second controller hooked up to your NES. To access it with the second controller, just press the A or B button. There are three options on this menu that can otherwise never be accessed. BACK allows you to head back to the previous room in the game. GAME allows you to return to the game without making any changes. RESET allows you to reestablish the room as you found it.

If you're looking to build an NES library, check out my top 100 NES/Famicom games list. Unlike the dozens (hundreds?) of top # NES guides on the net, I tried to make mine informative, insightful, free of truly terrible games, and worth following.
irvgotti452 was kind enough to post my tl;dr list ::) but if you have some time to read, please do check out my full list. I spent several months writing, gathering info and pictures for it so if you're looking to build a quality based NES library, I think my list will be right up your alley, especially since I provide rough price estimates for all games.
