Yeah, that's always been a favorite of mine. As long as you're not expecting the arcade version, it's a really good (but completely different) game.
I always liked Fester's Quest, too. Difficult game, but fun once you get the hang of it. It borrows heavily from the top-down portions of Blaster Master (right down to the sound effects and musical vibe), but I really liked this one back in the day.
And I haven't played it in quite some time, and I know I'm gonna catch it for this, but... I really enjoyed Hydlide.
