I'd also recommend the original "Metroid", but here's a warning: its extremely mind-bending. There's no save capability or map, and lots of rooms look alike. Your weapons and health status are retained with passwords that appear after each game is over, so be sure to write them down. Another difficult yet popular title is "Zelda II - The Adventure of Link". Its much more of a side-scroller, compared to the original, but the challenge level is definitely there. Like others have said, the "Mega Man" games are great, but the difficulty varies. Capcom made six of them for the NES, and the second one is probably easiest from the start. "Dr. Mario" is often cited as a "Tetris" knockoff, but the puzzle system is based on color-matching, instead of completing lines. |

Ultima IV on the NES was great, a pretty nice improvement over the Apple II version and even the DOS version. Of course there are the Marios and the Zeldas, those are a given. If you like RPGs, I would generally steer clear of the NES RPGs due to the fact they are very clunky, Final Fantasy I is better played on the PS1 and PSP, IMO, and Dragon Quest I-IV are better on the SFC/SNES. I know I mentioned Ultima IV being good and that is an RPG, but it is the exception to the rule. 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. |

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/ |

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. |
