    Super Mario Bros. 3? The hype of The Wizard, the huge NES installed base, the rabid fan following...

    No contest... it's Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt. We're up to our necks in 2600 versions of Pac-Man as well, and I suspect that we'd have just as many E.T.s floating around had they not been buried in New Mexico.

    Without a shadow of a doubt it HAS to be SMB/DH.

    Well, it's got to be a race between Combat or SMB/Duck Hunt. Anyone got stats as to how many 2600's and NES were released?

    Forget Combat, ET gets the stinker. Atari didn't have to bury millions of Combat.

    Other dishonorable common games: Dragon Warrior (free with Nintendo Power subscription at one time), SMB/DH (pack in for many years) and SMB3 (overly popular)

    What about Grand Theft Auto 3? How many millions has it sold?

    From my own personal experience in the matter:

    I barely even "thrift" at all. But when I do.. one thing is pretty much a constant. You WILL find one.. (if not two or more) Super Mario Bros/ Duck Hunt.

    Combat's are hit and miss. Pacman sometimes, ET's occasionally. But smb/dh is KING

    Heh, you're ALL wrong! The most common game is Super Tennis for the SNES. The flea market here has ten of them factory sealed!

    How about Tetris on the Game Boy?

    Does anyone know how many of the original Game Boys were sold? I know the Game Boys in their various transformations have sold well into the hundreds of millions, but how many of those were the originals with the pack-in Tetris game?

    30 million GB-Tetris games were produced according to the Tetris history site.

    Every store that I go into that sells Nintendo games there is AT LEAST 30 SMB/Duck Hunt. I have NEVER seen ANY other game as much as SMB/Duck Hunt.

    Top 10 ever?

    1. Super Mario & Duck Hunt. Seriously, I doubt any game comes remotely close.
    2. Combat for the 2600. I've never seen a place that has Atari stuff and not have this game.
    3. Space Invaders for the 2600. This has to be neck and neck with Combat.
    4. Pac-Man for the 2600: See #2 and #3
    5. Super Mario 3: If someone has an NES collection for sale, or there is an NES dealer around you, I would be shocked if they didn't have at least one of these.
    6. Super Mario World: Every time the Goodwilll by my house gets SNES games in, at least three of these show up.
    7. Sonic the Hedgehog: The game that put Sega on the map.
    8. Sonic 2: Almost as common as Sonic 1.
    9. Dragon Warrior: NES. I think there is something like ten million copies out there in the US.
    10. Super Mario All-Stars: I think this is slightly more common that Zelda for the SNES. But it's pretty close.
