Top 50 Nintendo NES Games

[cspixelmonkey]

Goonies 2 needs to stay. That game was a classic action andventure (even though in retrospect some of the translation was a little weird. Ouch! What do you do?=bad translation of "Ouch why did you do that?"
Maniac Mansion is a great choice.
Shadowgate should be in the list. It had atmosphere and depth.
Maybe RC ProAm? I remember playing that quite a bit.
I'm not sure about the choice of Bubble Bobble2 over the first one. I think the original is more of a classic.

[Cmtz]

What no earthbound!

[Cmtz]

i second shadowgate I love it.

[Tick]

Remove Goonies 2 and Short Order/Eggsplode and add Karnov and Shadowgate.

[ratmankey]

I'll second Karnov and RC Pro-Am (GREAT racing game, even if the lack of a 2-player mode hurt it), and I'll third Shadowgate. Awesome game, no matter how impossible the puzzles were (I didn't beat it till years later.)

Oh, and Cmtz, Earthbound was a Super NES game. And Earthbound 0 doesn't count because it was never officially released in America.

[Cmtz]

earthbound zero has to count. I love it.

[ratmankey]

I agree, it's a great game. But personal feelings are beside the point...the rules of the list are no imports, no homebrews, and no prototypes. It has to be a game officially released in the US.

[oesiii]

I don't like this list at all without 2 of the best sports games for the NES on it:

Blades of Steel
Tecmo Super Bowl

I know they have already been mentioned but they need to be added, I think both of them advanced the sports game genre on consoles with their fast multiplayer action.

[Oobgarm]

I support the inclusion of Shadowgate.

I reccommend Cobra Triangle. It's often overlooked, but very fun. And, it's by Rare! Also, I think Gun.Smoke needs to be on here too.

[ROBOTRON]

add:

Zanac
Lifeforce
Mega Man 2
The Guardian Legend
I liked M.U.L.E. too....

[Ruudos]

These should be in the top 50:
Adventures of Rad Gravity
Adventures of Lolo (series)
Battle of Olympus
Faxanadu
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
Solstice
StarTropics
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

[Ruudos]

More:

Batman
Little Samson
Ufouria (I don't care if it isn't released in the US, it was in Europe and so it's on an official NES cart)

[klimatron8]

Tecmo Bowl or SUPERBOWL has gotta be there. I'd also nominate Kings of the Beach,Shadowgate, Felix the Cat, Ultima-Quest of the Avatar.

[nesuser2]

balloon fight!!!! and crash and the boys(that might already be up tho...i dont recall) and super dodgeball......balloon fight is one of my all time favorites though

[dreamcaster]

Bionic Commando should be removed, and Tennis should be added (this game is so damn addictive, especially with two players!)

[le geek]

I'd Add Dr. Mario, Duck Hunt, Excitebike, Bomberman 2, Super Spy Hunter, High Speed, Arkanoid, Megaman 2 (if it's not on there already) and R.C. Pro Am

I'd lose nine from below (no preference)

Archon
Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers
Crystalis
Duck Tales 2
Dudes with Attitude/Trolls on Treasure Island
Faxanadu
Guardian Legend
Guerilla War
Journey to Silius
Kickle Cubical
Legacy of the Wizard
Little Ninja Brothers
Solomon's Key
Star Tropics
Wizards & Warriors

Cheers,
le geek

I hesitate to suggest this, but perhaps we should start up a new version of the list to include more suggestions from forum members, seeing as how "theaveng" is no longer among us under any screen name, and his treatment of the list may have not have been the best.

I'd like to see Vice: Project Doom up there, myself.

[vampyr643]

Faxanadu is definatley one of the best games out there same with mike tyson's punch out and the originals of dragon warrior and final fanasy.

[chadtower]

It should basically be Baseball Stars 49 times and Super Mario Bros as #50.

[MonsterSquad]

Why are there 57 games in a 50 games list?

lol!!!!!!!!!!!
