NES Game Suggestions

[darkfire613]

(As far as I could tell, this is searchbar approved.) Dear Escapists, I'm 15 and thusly am too young to have been around when the NES was in its prime. Just yesterday, I bought one on Craigslist, and I'm wondering what games I should get for it. Any suggestions?

Duck Hunt/ Super Mario Brothers (if you don't have the light gun then forget I mentioned it)

Super Mario Brothers 3
Ninja Gaiden
Tetris
Legend of Zelda

Adventures of Lolo!

Found out about it a few weeks ago, it's a seriously underrated puzzle game. Or at least i hadn't heard about it before recently.

 

[McAster]

Duck Tales, GI Joe, Gun-Nac, Little Samson, Clash At Demonhead, Gradius, Gargoyle's Quest, Metal Storm.

All should give you quite a lot of fun and unique titles for the era.

I got the console, two controllers, a zapper, and Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, all in the original box. It was a pretty sweet deal.

Gauntlet. Man... my grandparents bought a system for the grandkids when at their place and we spent SO many hows playing this game. Get a buddy and sit down to have some fun!.
NOTE: I have not tried the second one, so I would stick with the original. Also, as with ANY pre-saving era games, be sure to copy level codes.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. See if you can score a multi-pack of 1, 2, and 3. Once the first breaks you, take a breather, and get to work on the other two.

Would that be the prequel to Gauntlet: Dark Legacy? Because that is an awesome, awesome game.

I don't really know if it would work, I could play it because I do have a FamiCom, but I saw the chip thing here

 

[oplinger]

Psh, if you don't get The Magics of Scheherezade you aren't really an NES owner.

...Nevermind that most of them have no idea what the game is. >.>


EDIT: some others I just thought of:

Jackal
Time Lord
Super Spy Hunter
Journey to Silius

 

[FURY_007]

Ice Climbers

 

[Dango]

Batman and River City Ransom
