Ok, here are my 5 favorite NES games. Which would you also have on your top 5? Which would you have that I left out?
- Battletoads: This shit defies description. Just really good action game, really lovable characters.
- Contra: Sideways shoot-em-up. Upvote to the first person to correctly name the Konami code -- no googling!
- Snake, Rattle & Roll: Size matters. You want a long snake but long snakes are hard to manage.
- Legend of Zelda: The best save the princess game ever, arguably. Also, the first action RPG with mass market success.
- Pinbot: Just an awesome arcade pinball game that most people probably missed on NES. Had a really great feel to the gameplay.
I definitely could have done more and I definitely tried not to pick every single obvious game. Leave your game of choice or games of choice in the comments if you are so inclined :)
