Hello, today I bought a NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and I was hoping for some suggestions of good games I should get. (Note, I already have, Super Mario Brothers 3, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Dragon Warrior.)
I would definitely recommend Donkey Kong Country. I haven't played it in years, and have a lot of nostalgia attached to it, but it was a fantastic game, especially if you have a second person to play with. 2 warnings about the game, however. 1)I have a pathological fear of bees that I'll never get over. 2)Don't rage too hard at the minecarts.
I sincerely hope you enjoy that game as much as I used to.
I was a fan of the original Final Fantasy, but many people find it boring. Mike Tyson's Punch Out is a classic. Frankly, you've already got some of the best games. Add in the ones that TheSlayerMH suggested and you'll have a good set.
Ducktales, Zelda 1 & 2 Megaman 1-5, 1942, If your up to the challenge be sure to checkout Batman, Ninja Gaiden 1-3, Contra(Isuggest learning the konami code...), immortal. I would also recommend looking up ContinueShow on youtube they play a lot of great and not so great NES games... It's how I like to pick my games :)
yo ben you should get clay fighters its alot like mortal combat also donkey kong country is good but dont be pissed if you cant beat a level once you get to a certian level hard as fuck
Contra and Super C are both good albeit hard. Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads, Blades of Steel, Metroid, Kid Icarus and Godzilla 2 were all pretty cool too. Most of the other really great ones were mentioned above I think. Overall this was a tough time for gaming and the industry was just coming out of a recession. Most of the games on NES were interesting to play even if they weren't very good.
gunsmoke. mother fuckers do not know about gunsmoke but this game brought me hours and hours of entertainment. and it was hard. oh you get a infinite retry on a level. but you lose all your weapons and have fucking fun trying to down the end bosses with a fucking pistol. the game is hard as fuck and highly under rated.
Fuck yeah, man i had forgotten all about that game! Hard as fucks. Even with a turbo controller the first two levels are brutal! Protip: The Horse is a Lie.
More like Commando for cowboys. Also try Commando, OP. Dont be alarmed that the helicopter dropping you off on the battlefield has only one blade, it still flies because pixelated helicopters have a much lower density than non-pixelated ones.
Super Pitfall, Donkey Kong, DK Jr., Bubble Bobble, and especially TMNT 2: The Arcade game. It is EXCELLENT. My best friend and I would hang out and play it every Friday. Hard as hell, but fun.
I would say mega man 2, battle kid fortress of peril (if you want a serious challenge), Duck Tales, Dark Wing Duck, The Little Mermaid, Bubble Bobble, 1943, mckids the list can go on but their is a start of some common to slightly rare games that shouldn't be hard to find.
All of the Mega Man games, Tetris (preferably the Tengen one), Duck Tales, Bubble Bobble, Double Dragon, Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, Life Force, Zelda 2, Ghost and Goblins, Punch Out, and Rad Racer.
I didn't have all that many NES games since the system was ~10-15 years old when I got one, but Kid Icarus and Duck Tales were always really fun games. Super Mario 2 is pretty fun as well!
