Thanks for even more suggestions :D I'm glad that there seems to be a lot of good games to choose from :> --- Quote from: scarmullet on October 14, 2012, 11:03:53 AM ---What I would sugest (and I'll get flamed for this), get an NES PowerPak, its a CF cartridge for the NES which lets you run ROMs on the original hardware. Play some NES games, and buy what you like. --- End quote --- Haha I would think about it if it wasn't so expensive DX Just don't think it's worth it if I can buy a ton of games for the same price ><; There's a Play and Trade near where I live and they let you try out any of the games before you buy them :) Plus it seems that retro video stores tend to be cheaper than ebay? I'm not sure yet, but I'll check it out ><; (and then there's always reviews) --- Quote from: satoshi_matrix on October 14, 2012, 09:05:47 PM ---Well you're in luck. Last year, I spend several months addressing the NES library and came up with the best, most definitive top 100 list on the whole internet. I've seen other lists and nothing even comes close to what I did. So without further ado, check out my top 100 NES and Famicom games that still matter list. RetroWare's summery is a great launch pad for all the articles. http://retrowaretv.com/satoshi-matrixs-top-100-nesfamicom-games/ --- End quote --- I didn't know that the person who wrote it was on here XD I've already taken a little bit of a look at it, but it's very well written :> (I mean it even has estimated prices...) So thanks for writing such a great article :D --- Quote from: kylethestyle on October 14, 2012, 09:50:01 PM ---If you're just starting out your collection, go for the cheap ones that have established credibility. Some examples would be: the Super Mario series and Tetris. For now, I would suggest not spending over $5 for a game. --- End quote --- Hmmm ok... I would assume getting them from someplace other than ebay? I'm just asking because it seems that even the Duck Hunt/Mario combo goes for more than $5 w/ shipping... and from what I can tell, that's the most common one... (and I don't quite know where a good place to look for nes games would be...) |

definitely check out my guide. I go over every genre, give price guides of what you should expect to pay on average, and most importantly, tell you why each game is worth your time. I'm a huge NES and Famicom fan and tell you that the best way of appriciating the NES is to sample a lot of games for it. |

Thrift stores and Goodwill are also places to look. Don't forget garage sales and craigslist! You gotta hunt for the good deals! |

Oh yeah, perfect place to post this. Before I posted my #1, I recapped the previous 99 games. The full article is of course on my site, but if you want a highly abridged version without any of the details, here's a visual representation of the best games for the NES. Depending on your web browser, this might end up huge. Sorry in advance. |
