The Top 10 NES Games of all Time
It’s definitely not easy coming up with the 10 best NES games, but here is my best effort:
10) Duck Hunt – As far as I?m concerned this is the only game that was worth having the Nintendo Zapper for.
9) Ice Climber – A great co-op game. Never got the big following when it first came out. It has grown to have a cult-like following.
Metroid – Completely innovative. Started a monster franchise. It may not be the best of the series, but where would it be without it?
7) Zelda II: The Adventure of Link – I know it’s regarded by many as the low point of the franchise, but if people gave it a chance they will find an extremely deep game.
6) Castlevania – When deciding on the best Castlevania game, it’s like deciding on the best Led Zeppelin Album. The first one started the whole thing so, it should get credit.
5) Tecmo Bowl – Quite frankly, its the best football video game ever. I know it may seem simple by today’s standards, but that’s the real beauty of it. You don’t have to memorize and entire playbook and 100 different button combinations to enjoy it.
4) Contra – The mother of all codes: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B. A, Start. If you didn’t know that code, you couldn’t have called yourself a gamer.
3) Super Mario Bros – Where would the video game world be without this powerhouse? I remember how amazing it was when the character moved, the screen followed. You can’t event think of the NES without this game.
2) The Legend of Zelda – I’ve actually lost count on how many games were influenced by the original Legend of Zelda. Even with its long and illustrious series, the original still might be the best one, and that’s really saying something.
1) Super Mario Bros. 3 – Incredible and innovative gameplay. You could tell where the future of gaming was headed after playing this game.
