Does Startropics count on that list? I love me some Startropics. And maybe Ufouria.
I really need to play though all of these games...
Ok, so I have 2 of the 3 Hearts...

I like Battle, though not good at it. Faxanadu is a cool game but the aweful control and poor collision detection kill it for me.
If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?

Well, I'll agree with you there. On occasion, the collision detection of Faxanadu reminds me a little of Athena (also on NES). Hit an enemy in just the right (or wrong) place, sometimes while jumping, and you can go from a full life bar to dead in what seems like half a second.

I've played Faxanadu and it was a good game. I havent played the other tho.

Beat Faxanadu tonight. Final boss was easier then fighting the other boss for the Dragon Slayer sword! Nice ending too, one the better NES game endings I've seen in some time.

Startropics is a really neat game. It's somehow both somewhat derivative of several classic games yet very original in it's own way. It even had a note inside the game box you had to splash water on to continue in the game, sorta like the various old PC anti-piracy methods. Oddly enough, Japan never got a famicom version, but did get a GBA version awhile back. There's also a sequel with different control system if you can't stand the first. But personally, I think the grid-based jumping adds a level of strategy and thinking ahead instead of standard platformy twichiness.
I'm not a fan of Star Tropics. The jumps are way too hard for me
Nice to hear some people are still discovering classics like Battle of Olympus though. I love to hear stories like this of people's progress.
