I recently found myself in the possession of an NES. While this is really cool for me I don’t really have any games. This made me think. There are a lot of people here that were either around then or still have an NES. So I need to ask, what are some good games? Not just ones I’ve played a dozen like The Legend of Zelda or the Mega Man series, but games that I missed like Kid Icarus or Blaster Master. Anything I really have to get?

Well, aside from the obvious ones like Mario, another good one is Duck Hunt. I loved that game.

Or Mario/Duck Hunt! That's even better! :)
Yep duck hunt is fun. My grandpa has it, so I've played it a lot. If I get a light gun I'll have to pick that one up.

I'd say Paperboy definitely, great game. And Excitebike. Sid Meier's Pirates! is a great game, I had it for the PC, but I think it was made for NES as well.

Battletoads, Battletoads, Battletoads!

Also, Techmo Bowl is a good, simple football game.

I like MC Kids, too, but I've heard nobody else does. :sad:

Since the obvious choices are out of the way, I would like to recommend Rare's forgotten gem, Snake Rattle 'n Roll. You play as a snake that has to eat pellets, while dodging enemies like feet and toilet seats. Has to be seen to be believed.

I went to a (somewhat) local Slackers and got several games. The best is by far Crystalis. That game is awsome. Too bad I suck at it.

I'm going to keep a sharp eye out for the rest of the games you guys posted.

Err... The EB's and the Gamestops here don't carry NES games.

Say that to the Angry Nintendo Nerd. :mrgreen:

I'll give these suggestions:

StarTropics. Like Zelda 3 in terms of puzzle difficulty, but for NES.
Marble Madness. I had it on Tandy, but it's also on NES. Great game, despite 6 levels.
Operation Wolf. Good game.

Sadly, OW and ST I had anger over because of my crap remake of NES, the YoBo NES. If they make a non-crappy controller and a light gun, then I might play more often. Or better yet, I can just go buy an NES because I have family who never believed me that I wanted an NES and instead gave me a crappy copout.

Or, even better, make them myself! I just need to alter stuff and maybe try to make a connector wire that'll connect to that thing. Why didn't they make NES-style controller plugs and save us all grief?!
