Good picks. Palamedes looks crazy fun. I knew about it back in the day but I have still never played it. But I can still visualize the magazine ad for it in my mind. Also agreed on Mega Man 2 vs other Mega Man games. Good reasoning. I would have probably crammed Castlevania 3 in with Castlevania 1 because both are awesome. If you like Kung Fu, try the sequel called Vigilante on the TurboGrafx-16... or Master System but the TG-16 version is better.

Krazy Kreatures is a fun game. It's also very intense at the later stages. The first Tetris for the NES is also a memorable game with vivid graphics and good music. Castlevania is another fun game and this game has secrets there are bonus grabs that can give you a lot of points. Contra and Super C are good games. Mega Man 2 is always my favorite in the Mega Man series. Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! is also a very funny game. Duck Tales has 3 endings. So many nostalgic memories, and so many fun games. So many timeless classic NES games.

I was a bit surprised not to find a list of the games, so I made it. Here it is: 20 Palamedes 00:30 19 Bucky O'Hare 01:21 18 Krazy Kreatures 02:07 17 Kung Fu 03:00 16 Tetris 03:35 15 Kirby's Adventure 04:53 14 Solomon's Key 06:23 13 The Adventures of Lolo 07:39 12 Jackal 08:31 11 Castlevania 09:24 10 Zelda 2 10:37 09 Contra & Super C 12:09 08 TMNT 13:17 07 Megaman 2 14:23 06 Super Mario Bros 3 16:29 05 Batman 18:23 04 Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! 20:22 03 DuckTales 21:34 02 Ninja Gaiden 3 23:03 *honorable mentions* 24:14 01 The Legend of Zelda 24:43 My personal top 20 would probably have been a bit different. I would definitely have included Bubble Bobble, Dr Mario, and Double Dragon. I would have hesitated between placing the whole zelda/mario/megaman franchise and promoting titles such as bomberman, Kickle Cubicle, new zealand story, puyo puyo, snake rattle'n roll, the battle of olympus, chip'n dale rescue rangers, faxanadu, fester's quest, kid icarus, lemmings, or marble madness. And finally, there are titles that I definitely prefer on SNES... it's the case for Punch-Out! but also for Joe & Mac.

Kid Icarus is so underrated. It has that creepy Metroid feel, but with Greek mythology. I've always woneerd what could have happened if it was more poplular and became a big francheise. Imagine a Mario type 3D platformer but with creepier graphics and soundtrack where every boss-stage is a giant Zelda-type maze in a greek temple filled with puzzles.

Not to mention a title theme music that is just awesome. I never want to leave the title screen lol. Luckily level 1 music is almost as good and I will eventually push start.

YES, im guessing the title screen for guardian legend is an honorable mention. Granted its essentially legend of zelda in space minus the puzzles, it was quite satisfying to beat. Many fights against that damn eyeball dropping the beams on no health ups the intensity. Top quality soundtrack to boot

Great list! i was hoping to see Final Fantasy but totally agree with Duck Tales. if i had to choose one to play one right now, Duck Tales. I loved the character sprites, controls, level variety, color palette, and sounds. Some other games i enjoyed back in the day; Hogans Alley (still playable today with zapper), Tecmo Bowl, Metal Storm, Rush N Attack, Battletoads (never beat), and Double Dragon (not close to the arcade, but decent for NES **looking at you Ninja Gaiden**). Games I missed out on but still want to play; River City Ransom, Kirby, and Duck Tales 2. I'm sure i forgot some, and I'm ok with that
