I only recently started playing NES games, and I was wondering what some of the quintessential games were.

Duck Hunt is pretty awesome.

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get a zapper!

This thread is opening a gigantic can of worms (in a good way). When asking about any Nintendo console, 1st party titles will immediately swarm the lists. But then there are hundreds of EXCELLENT 3rd party titles. It's hard for me to categorize what is 'quintessential' these days compared to what struck me in awe in the hayday of these machines compared to what every top 10, 20, etc. list these days recommends. There are just so many good options. Without knowing any particular genre, it's hard to direct you.

I have to say, pounding your feet on a NES PowerPad for World Class Track Meet (or if you were really lucky and had the Super Mario Bros + Duck Hunt + World Class Track Meet combo with the NES/Zapper/PowerPad set) was awesome back when it was new. These days, with the Wii and it's wii mote and balance board, I guess things have gotten more interactive, but it's hard to separate yourself from the progress.

If you only recently got a physical NES, get a Game Genie. To me, that is the quintessential NES experience. Strategy guides, code books, and the Game Genie (and Galoob's subscription service) is what brings me back to my NES and Super NES days. It was learning about and trying to do everything possible in a game (and then using the Game Genie to do even more). As a kid, you often didn't have the budget to buy whatever you wanted. You had to play the games you got and play the hell out of them.

However, if you're just interested in the classics, just google for top games/best games lists.

But for what it's worth, I'd recommend the following...

NES:
Super Mario Bros 1/2/3
R.C. Pro Am 1/2
Battletoads
Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers
DuckTales
Castlevania 1/2/3
Metroid
Megaman 1-6
Legend of Zelda
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Batman
Ninja Gaiden 1-2
Little Nemo: The Dream Master
Mike Tyson's Punch Out/Punch Out
Tecmo Super Bowl
Blades of Steel

SNES:
F-Zero
Pilotwings
Star Fox
Super Mario World
Super Mario All-Stars
Final Fantasy III
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Super Metroid
Chrono Trigger
Donkey Kong Country 1/2
Earthbound
Mega Man X
SimCity
Super BomberMan 1/2
Super Mario Kart
Top Gear 2
UniRacers



And plenty more...

NES:
River City Ransom
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: the Manhattan Project
Panic Restaurant (Although it's super expensive)
Shadowgate

SNES:
Any and all RPGs. Best console for them in my opinion!

I'd also recommend a "dogbone" controller for the NES. It's much more comfortable to hold for extended periods of time then the original boxy controller.

I'll only recommend games if you're playing in an emulator on from a flash cart.

Awesome, thank you both for the suggestions!

I've never really had an issue with holding the controller, but I'll definitely keep that in mind =P

^I'll make this a bit different for you. I will *NOT* recommend one single game from Nintendo. Back in the 8 and 16bit days basically at worst anything they put out would be enjoyable in short bursts (arcade like stuff) and their longer run adventures, platforming, racing, puzzle games even are no brainers for enjoyment value so I'm not going to clutter this with anything from your usual Mario and Zelda fodder to the second tier F-Zero Starfox stuff, or even the third tier black label/box early NES stuff as it's pointless. I'd also exclude franchises that started on either, but given you're starting fresh you may have no idea, so I won't.

In numbers, then letters type order...(and if I note it as expensive it's like $100+)

NES
- 1942 (and more so 1943)
- Blaster Master
- Bomberman 2 (expensive, but 1 is ok too)
- Bubble Bobble 1 (2 too but it's $300)
- Castlevania (any of the 3, they're all different, 2 being a precursor to the PSX SOTN style)
- Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers (any DISNEY/Capcom release is solid other than maybe Adventures in the Magic Kingdom)
- Contra (and Super C)
- Crystalis (like Zelda but in ways better)
- Darkwing Duck (Capcom/Disney)
- Double Dragon 1 and 2 (2 best, there is a 3 but it's rough)
- Dragon Warrior 1-4 (2 is rough, 3 is good, 1 is early but short so fun, and 4 is the best as it's like 4 mini rpgs then 1 big one on the end with everyone)
- Duck Tales 1 (and 2, but it's expensive)
- Faxanadu
- Gargoyle's Quest (expensive)
- Ghosts n Goblins
- Gradius
- Gun-Nac (expensive)
- Jackal
- Mega Man 1-6 (1 and 5 are in the $50-100 range, 2 is noted by most as the best followed by 3)
- Mighty Final Fight (expensive)
- Ninja Gaiden 1, 2 and 3
- Raid on Bungling Bay
- River City Ransom
- Road Runner (TENGEN, black 3rd party cart, they're known for most their 20 NES games for being good)
- Silent Service (a lot won't agree with me, but play it with 2 controllers, it's a fun ww2 submarine game)
- Spy Hunter (and Super spy Hunter)
- Stinger (part of the Twin Bee line of games in Japan)
- Super Dodgebal ('Kunio' game, River City Ransom, Crash and the Boys, and Nintendo World cup are all part of it)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja TUrtles 1-3 (2 and 3 are arcade like brawlers, 1 is a quite hard and unforgiving stage based platformer.)
- Tetris (TENGEN, it's like the arcade)

I could recommend far more, but the above are games I currently own mostly and a few others that stand out in my mind. I've owned over 1/2 the library over time so I know the decent, good, and greats.

SNES
- ActRaiser (has crappy sequel, avoid it)
- Bust-A-Move (aka Puzzle Bobble)
- Castlevania Dracula X (expensive)
- Chrono Trigger (expensive)
- Contra The Alien Wars
- Disney's Aladdin
- DOOM (it's a bit rough, but it is fun)
- Final Fantasy II, III, and Mystic Quest
- Final Fight 1,2, and 3 (3 might get expensive, it varies)
- Gradius III
- Great Circus Caper Starring Mickey and Minnie (it's a sequel to a game down the list in the M's)
- Indiana JOnes and his Greatest Adventures (stunning mostly platformer, stages of all 3 classic movies)
- Joe & Mac
- King of Dragons (expensive)
- Legend of the Mystical Ninja
- Magical Quest Starring MIckey Mouse
- Mega Man X (there are X2 and X3, not a fan, otehrs like them, but they're like $200 games, as is Mega Man 7 which is solid)
- Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (3 NES games, kind of redone, rebalanced 3rd game, added password - expensive)
- Ogre Battle the March of the Black Queen (about $100~)
- Samurai Shodown (decent SNK arcade conversion, King of the Monsters1 and 2, Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury got converted too)
- Secret of Mana (stunning zelda like style game from Square known for Final Fantasy)
- Sid Meier's Civilization (pc conversion of game 1, uses mouse if you have it)
- Sim City (no explanation needed)
- Soul Blazer (and prequel Illusion of Gaia)
- Space Megaforce
- Star Trek Starfleet Academy Bridge Simulator (adventures on the bridge, had a combat mode too for 1 or 2 players)
- Street Fighter II (also SF2 Turbo and Super SF2 are converted very well too)
- Street Fighter Alpha 2 (amazing conversion that works surprisingly well)
- Sunset Riders
- Super Castlevania IV
- Super Ghouls n Ghosts
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV Turtles in Time
- Ultraman (if you like rubber monster street figher clones it's decent)
- UN Squadron
- Wolfenstein-3D (nazi's removed, mutant rats, staatsmeister, and cool useful in game map in, retooled stages so it's kind of fresh)
- Ys III
- Zombies Ate My Neighbors

I'll only recommend games if you're playing in an emulator on from a flash cart.

Why's that? I've emulated games before and it just doesn't feel the same to me. something about actually using an NES controller with an actual legit cart feels differently than emulating and flash carts.

Awesome, thank you! Believe it or not, one of the first NES games I played was Crystalis on an emulator, and it and Faxanadu are two of my favorites, I absolutely love them.

This is an awesome list, I'll definitely remember this, thank you.

I know, but for cheaper games I'd much prefer the original cart. Some games i absolutely love, so I plan on importing certain Japan-only and patching them with a translation, but everything else I plan on using a flashcart for.

With Flashcarts you can play patched roms as well. Most rom packs will come with roms pre-patched so there is often very little work needed to start playing translated or hacked games.

There are very few reasons to take the flash cart out of your nes once you get it set-up. There are not many nes games that are currently unplayable on flash carts, so if you are wondering which games to aquire first I would start with those.

You can use an actual NES controller on PC.

A flash cart is playing the real ROM on the real hardware.

I'm not interested in creating new colletards.

Oh noes, I like actually paying for my games and supporting my local mom & pop store that just got robbed and needs money to not go outta business.
Sue me.

If I was a collector then I would've bought tons of games anyway and wouldn't be asking which ones to play. Sure, it would be cool to have a complete NES collection, but realistically I wouldn't get probably 20% of the library if I spent all of my money on NES games. And I don't.

Super Mario Bros.

Rockman

Contra

The Legend of Zelda

Dragon Quest


Everything else is more arcade or computer-like.

If you end up deciding to go the flashcart route for the NES, I would recommend the "EverDrive N8". I had it for a little while and I really liked it!

If you're really enjoying yourself and want to get real carts still though, one might be interest in going Japanese, all it takes is a honeybee converter or some other same same device. I've got 3 cheap NES/SNES games that are decent if you're interested -- Tag Team Wrestling and Rush'n Attack (NES arcade conversions) and Hyperzone (by HAL, who made Kirby etc, kind of like f-zero and starfox in one.)

Well with flash carts you have to load the game roms onto the flash cart (they dont come with the roms on them).
However I dont think Sachen games work on Flash carts, I have a PowerPak and I just tried Hell Fighter and it did not work. I wouldnt be surprised if all or most sachen games dont work on flash carts.

Tanooki
02-22-2016, 08:04 PM
It would include whatever you want to throw on it as far as I know. I don't recall ever reading a limit to what it can or can not load up but it wouldn't be hard for you to look it up. I'd think that any standard single or licensed multicart would work, unlicensed multi-carts maybe not if they use some quirky header into that the flash kit hasn't been taught. The NES is a picky brat as there's a good selection of special memory mapper chips, some of them are or are nearly one off stuff for one game and it would be a lot to expect anything and everything to work.

Much like on the SNES there's a few annoying special chips that enhance (some greatly) what the SNES can pull off but they also double down as a security lockout chip too you can't get around. The Everdrive won't run almost any of them other than the basic DSP that Mario Kart/Pilotwings handles, but you can forget SA-1, FX, CX4(MMx2 and 3), and many others. There's one nearly $100 higher the SD2SNES that runs some of the chips like the CX4 (which alone given MMX2 or X3 cost like $200 would pay for itself off one of those games) it's a big cost going in still.

You really just need to go to krikzz page and read up what the everdrive is capable of and not, there's a compatibility list, same with his everdrive for SNES and the SD2SNES page lists where it goes (everdrive doesn't) and where it stops at.

Does that mean Sachen games can't be duplicated or that they can be done some other way?

Sachen games probably could be re-made as repros or your probably could play them on some emulator on a computer or something like that. The powerpak probably just doesnt have the mapper needed to play the sachen games.

Anthony42
02-22-2016, 11:10 PM
Any idea where I can find a copy or know who can make a repro of it? I've googled it for a while and even called some local stores with no luck.
