SM's Top 100 NES/Famicom games

[Satoshi_Matrix]

Hey DP, K've started what will be an ongoing series as I count down my personal top 100 NES/Famicom games list.

Yes, there are already plenty of NES top 10′s, top 25′s and even top 100 lists all over the net. So why should you care about my top 100 list?

My aim here was to make a unique list that goes beyond simply my picks and my thoughts about them. This list was carefully crafted based on my experience of well over seven hundred individual titles for both the NES and Famicom. My criteria for this list was based on three factors – Overall appeal, uniqueness, and how well each have aged.

This list will include every kind of software ever written for the hardware, whether it be NES, Famicom, unlicensed, prototype, homebrew or Hong Kong original pirate – if it was sold in some forum, it’s fair game for this list. The only type of games I have excluded are hacks of existing games. While many of these are incredible, I may at some point in the future write a separate list for these alone.

So here's part 1, #100-90. I will be continuing to work on this series with ten games per post. I hope you enjoy and discover some hidden classics you might have missed the first time around!

A good list so far. For your #80 entry, the NES/FC/GB game Yoshi (no Tamago) was also developed by GameFreak, making 2 games (at least) that GF developed on the NES.

This list is off to a very good start. I will be keeping an eye out for the rest of it for sure.

Tecmo Super Bowl was years ahead of its time. The cutscenes(I like how you get a cutscene when you clinch your division, no matter when you do it). The stat tracking, the unbelievably deep season mode, the player photos, the easy to operate battery back up saving. TSB was released in 91, it wasn't until 93, and 94 when the 16 bit Sega/Ea football games finally brought in those features, and even then some of them still weren't as well done as in TSB.

The 16 bit ports of TSB just aren't as charming as the original 8 bit game in my opinion. I remember being blown away at the fact that an NES football game could have so much depth, and replay value. The last season I played through I went 9-7 with the Redskins. Lost the Super Bowl to Buffalo 20-14.

The Little Mermaid is a very good game too. I highly recommend anyone to give it a try if you haven't already.
