The best and worst NES

[txpitdog]

My brother is about to have his second major heart surgery, and knowing that he'll be bored out of his skull while waiting for the surgery and in the weeks following during recovery I decided to get a NES for him to play and a few of the games from when we were kids. Going back through all the games we had or played I laughed at how bad a lot of them were, but some were really good and I can't wait to get them again.

Best:
Cobra Triangle
Contra
Pro Wrestling
RC Pro Am
Gauntlet
Excitebike

Never had but gonna buy AND complete
Metroid
Mega Man

Worst
City Connection
Ghosts and Goblins
MUSCLE Wrestling (but addictive to play)

Most hated game of all time
Ikari Warriors

[Hunter_Man]

CONTRA... by far the best NES game ever... up up down down left right left right B A B A Select Start... unlimited lives!!!!!

Loved Metroid, but you left off Zelda! Can't forget the classic Super Mario Bros either.

I opened this thread only because I wanted to see what a NES was. But it sounds like a good idea and good luck to your bro.

I have a lot of these (I am a dork) and a large collection of handheld gaming systems.

Ones not on your list...

Kid Icarus
Castlevania
Final Fantasy
Dragon Warrior
Double Dragon
Zelda
Bubble Bobble
Ninja Gaiden
Gradius
DuckTales
River City Ransom
Mario Series (Esp 3)



I actually like Ghosts and Goblins, but it sure was frustrating.

Ghosts & Goblins is still ranked as one of the hardest games of all time...TMNT makes the top 10 list quite often as well.
