Hey guys, I am outsourcing my conundrum to you guys.  I want to create custom (smaller than UGC) covers for my NES games and I would love to signify a potential SERIES for each game.

These are the "official" series except for CHALLENGE




Action
Adventure
Arcade
Education
Light Gun
Programmable
Robot
Sports

I only came up with the Challenge Series icon because the back of this case states it, and I would prefer to place all the harder games with a more noticeable icon (Mega Man / Ghosts N Goblins / Battletoads) for games that could be Action or Adventure, but just kick your butt

I would love your guys input if you have time to help classify the NES Games list.

So basically what you're after is to categorize each of the NES games in the spreadsheet into one of these categories? Sure, I'd be happy to help with this!

Also, do you mind me adding a few Japan-only games like Final Fantasy 2,3 and Mother?

do it!  I figure if multiple people look at it, then it will save me from multiple reprints on alterations!  Thanks bud =)

No problem, I've also noted if the game wasn't released in the US in case you want to quickly find them :)
