Anth0ny07 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Growing up I never had a NES, so I recently decided that I am going to buy one. But since I never had one im not really sure what some of the best games for it are. Can anyone recommend some good games for me to buy?

madhatter667 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 The Dragon Warrior series, 4 being a good one among them, but also probably the most expensive/hardest to find. Tengen made a few good ones...Gauntlet, Gauntlet 2, Pac-Man The Donkey Kong classics The Adventure Island series The Double Dragon series Trying to come up with stuff not mentioned.

bretthorror Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hell yeah, Kirby's Adventure was great. River City Ransom is also wicked, except it'll put you back $20 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) Metal Storm, Blaster Master, Crystalis, Guardian Legend, and Zanac stick out in my collection. Oh, and Megaman *. Probably 2, 4, and 5 are the best. And Ninja Gaiden. ... I think I'm done now. Edited October 26, 2006 by JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIP72 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 If you like sports games, you MUST try to get Tecmo Super Bowl. EVERYBODY who liked sports video games and had an NES played that game all the time in 1992. As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, there was nothing like an improvised running play with QB Eagles (aka Randall Cunningham)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdement Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 River City Ransom is also wicked, except it'll put you back $20 or so. Funny... I bought that game on clearance for $20 about 15 years ago. So it hasn't depreciated since then, cool. Another of my favorites that I don't think has been mentioned is Ultima: Exodus. If you enjoy classical style, hard RPG's where you make your own party members, and they can actually -die- then you may enjoy this game. I loved it, but it may have aged poorly depending on your perspective. Most annoying problem is that you need to cast an "Open" spell when opening chests, otherwise you'll constantly get hit with traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarifever Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 My top ten fave NES games Super Mario Bros 1985. Super Mario Bros 2 1988. Super Mario Bros 3 1990. The Legend of Zelda 1986. Dragon Warrior 1989. Final Fantasy 1990. Metal Gear 1988. Gradius 1986. Castlevania 1987. Ninja Gaiden 1984. Sometimes I think Mario 2 (yes, I know, USA) looks better than 3. They certainly look that way in those screen shots I'm also glad 2 exists, because otherwise Mario and Luigi would probably still be palate swapped twins.
