Phantasy Star.
Sonic 2 (GG).
yes!! another wonder boy fan!! and i thought i was the only one. although i am a big wonder boy fan, i can't pick it because the turbo geafx version dragons curse is so much better. which is also why i would not pick river city ranson, downtown nekketsu is so much better.Originally Posted by Bratwurst
there are so many great games it would be a toss up between kid icarus and spellcaster for the sega master system. I think i may be leaning more toward spellcaster. such a great game.
Currently looking to trade for Magical Chase any version, and especially Dynastic Hero USA version. I have Samurai Shodown V Special MVS, lots of other MVS titles, and tons of games. Check out my profile over at http://gametz.com/user/greedostick.html if you are looking to get rid of one.
SMB3 and second is Megaman 2
-Tritium
Tritium (aka Mel)

I will add a game that nobody has mentionend yet:

Metroid comes in mind.
My personal favorite 8-bit game is Super Mario Bros. 3, with Metroid in 2nd and Blaster Master in 3rd.
Super Mario Bros. 3

SMB 3 is the obvious choice, but I thought I'd go a different route.
Call me a Fanboy, but you can't possibly say any of the earlier 8 bit systems have a game better than SMB 3 or any great NES title.
Thank Christ; I was about to the end of the list and hadn't seen it mentioned once yet. Although I appreciate SMB3 and think it is a good choice, really, Battletoads makes it look like Solitaire.Originally Posted by tony_good
Not only is Battletoads my favorite 8-bit game, it is my favorite console game.
Thing is, the best 8-bit game is also the best game for any console....
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario Bros. runs a close second.
You've got it backwards. SMB is the greatest 8bit game of all time. SMB3 runs a close second :POriginally Posted by Jumpman Jr.
"And remember ladies: if it ain't tight, it ain't right!"
2600:Pitfall 2
Nes: Castlevania III
Sms: Phantasy Star
If I had to just pick one it'd be Phantasy Star but I figured i'd pick one for each system.
Super Mario Bros.
P.S. Zelda 2 comes close.
This is one of the rare times I won't pick Metroid. But Metroid is a very close second to... Super Mario Bros. 3.
Super Mario Bros. 3, hands down. I have the "Level 2" music playing in my head all the time now.
I changed my sig because the old one sucks.
Megaman II
Tritium (aka Mel)

well, i have to go with the revolutionary PHANTASY STAR, the father of modern RPG!!!
Master System... the best of all 8 bits systems!!!
Megaman 4 for me with Rad Racer not far behind
