I just joined this board and currently I am only really collecting Famicom games. I have an idea for making an ultimate famicom/nes games list. In order to make the list we need to assume some things.
It would consist of 100 games (big I know but NES plus Famicom is a lot of great games). Both Famicom or NES carts could be included, however we would pick the 'definitive' version. i.e. the ones with better graphics, better storyline (native version), better sound etc. This list would also make no sacrifices for language barrier either. It would be assumed that you can either read both Japanese and English, or can play the games without knowledge. For example Final Fantasy 2, 3 would likely be included. Whenever possible the other countries title would be put in parentheses beside the 'definitive' one listed.
One last thing if versions are essentially the same despite the language...the native language version will be chosen.
Hopefully you like the idea and can post some feedback on the selection process....then maybe we can get a moderator to start a thread about it.
