Well personally I'd go with Dig Dug 2, Power Blade, Image Fight, Vice Project Doom, Wario's Woods, and DK3 (never mind it's not the usual DK game).

After a brief skim, pretty much none of them. For pretty much the large majority of the NES library any more than $5 is too much. But, I'm definitely not up on my NES and I'm only about 100 games into my collection. Check ebay for prices on the other titles and you'll have your answer.

I would pass on 'em. But, you didn't mention if these are new and sealed, complete in box or just game only.

Arkistas Ring 5.63 - it's a slightly below average game, I suppose, if you're really hurting for a new game, you could get this.
dig dug 2 12.21 I've never played this, but have always wanted too!
pool of radience 14.98 this is a fun game!
qix 14.08 I've heard good things about this.
ultima quest of the avatar 9.29 Ultima games are fun as hell.
warios woods 9.39 never been much of a fan of tetris.
My two cents...

They're strange figures, where are they from?
$3.76
$5.63
Most places have round numbers or end w/ $.99
When I see a price ending with a 1 or a 3 it makes me think that they're based on something.

Horrible Prices.
I could barely even sell Dig Dug 2 for $5 in the b/s forum.
I wouldn't touch any of those with a 10ft pole

Dude, RUN! I haven't seen such horrible prices since the days of Gamestop and EB Games. I got ripped off SO many times at those places to where I believe I started caughing up blood. If you're looking for a quick fix then buy 1, otherwise it's not worth it at all.

Agreed. The prices do seem reasonable for those. They're pretty hard to find in the wild too.
Then again, it seems like almost ALL NES games are getting difficult to find in the wild nowadays.

thanks jumpman and griking, i believe you guys know your stuff as much as i do, those are almost the exact games i had picked out to buy lol. except pool of radiamce i might let it slide. but i normally follow nes game prices big time. By the way i failed to mention that im down to needing 206 games and all those are ones i need, but anyways for all those curious of whats going on here. Is to make a long story short i know this guy who bugged a independent gaming store a whole bunch about why they didnt sell NES games, because he said it seemed like they sold everything else but nes games. well come to find out this guy finally got ahold of the sotres manager and asked him. Well this store is independently owned but they do have 8 different locations. Well come to find out they took all there nes games and stored them in a warehouse a long time ago. and this dude (the luckiest guy ever) gets to go to this warehouse and sort through over 2000 NES GAMES!!! yea im not kidding. and these are the prices the manager sells them to him for. its kinda like a gamestop. and he says there might be a good chance to find stadium events in there and he said their old nes catalog said if they get that game in stock they sell it for $8.98! Anyways hes totally aware of bad prices and good prices. and so am i. I just wanted extra input. anyways he has my list of every game im looking for and hes giving me prices on games i want. Now games that are rare that areent popular like baby boomer goes cheap. but games like mega man are still priced high from back in the day. supply in demand. and he said they have some real goofy prices. Believe it or not he found bubble bobble 2 there for $14.98 and then found the first bubble bobble for $18.00??? weird huh. then he found contra force for around 9 bucks as well. so basically im trying to get good deals on games that are worth more now than what they are priced. im hoping he find a snow brothers cheap or something like that. he said he still has 1500 games to sort through so its hard to tell what he might find lol. anyways thanks everybody for their input.! and keep it coming. thanks!
