    Bored at work I was reading some top games of all time lists, so I thought I'd post something on here. What are your top 5-10 NES games of all time? I chose NES because I figure that's a system most people on here had at some point in time. 10 may be too many, but at least 5 would be nice. Mine would be:

    Honorable Mentions - R.C. Pro Am, Dr. Mario, Tetris (this would have been on the top list, but I mostly played it on Game Boy), Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, Excitebike, Skate or Die.

    10) Super Mario Brothers
    9) Tecmo Bowl
    8) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
    7) Wizards & Warriors
    6) Mike Tyson's Punchout
    5) Legend of Zelda
    4) Life Force/Gradius
    3) Contra
    2) Super Mario Bros. 3
    1) Final Fantasy

    As you can see I was a big RPG fan, I spent countless hours playing Final Fantasy. A few years ago I actually uploaded Nesticle (an emulator that allows you to play NES games on your cpu) to my cpu at work and started playing Final Fantasy at work. Beating it with 4 white mages may have been my greatest NES accomplishment of all time. Then there were the games I enjoyed, but never could beat (damn you Mike Tyson and your 1 punch KO) such as Mike Tyson's Punchout, TMNT and Wizards and Warriors. Man TMNT drove me crazy, I must have played forever before I realized how to use that grapple hook to get across the buildings!

    How about a list of your favorites?

    Funny thing is, when I look back on my NES days... I had terrible games... they were so god awful, but I was in awe of video games as a whole, so I didn't care.

    If I were to list the games I spent the most time playing as a kid, it would be laughably bad.

    Nothing wrong with that, I still have my SNES. Feel free to list those if you'd like. I guess I should have made it "Favorite video games you played as a kid" but then my list would just be too long!

    Legend of Zelda
    TMNT II Arcade edition
    TMNT I
    BattleToads
    Final Fantasy
    Mario III
    Double Dragon
    Mario I
    Duck Hunt
    Ice Hockey
    MegaMan

    NES is a little before my time, but I loved all these games, plus a couple more that I can't remember the name of. Zelda was by far my favorite, and I've played over and over. It was the whole reason for buying the collector's edition for GameCube(No more freezing up, or blowing on cartidges.)
