    I can't quite understand it either. It was a horrible game.

    The 2nd is way better, but the first one was fun, though way too hard for me. I was very young playing those games. TMNT IV: Turtles in Time for SNES, owned them all.

    3) Final Fantasy 2
    4) Super Mario Kart

    Ah, a topic near and dear to my heart. Here are my top ten:

    1. Contra -- My favorite video game of all time. Can you go through this game without dying while getting no power-ups whatsoever, even rapid fire? I am the best Contra player this world has ever seen.
    2. Bionic Commando -- Innovative and still fun to this day. Pi..Pi..Pi..
    3. Ninja Gaiden -- Damn hard, but damn fun and worth the occasional frustration.
    4. Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! -- Still the best boxing game ever after all these years.
    5. Mega Man 3 -- The best of the Mega Man series.
    6. Faxanadu -- A personal favorite. One of the most underrated games of my lifetime.
    7. Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link -- Great overall game.
    8. Final Fantasy -- A trendy pick, but cannot deny its influence.
    9. Super Mario Bros. 3 -- Can't deny that it is a great game. List would feel empty without it.
    10. Metroid -- I spent much of my childhood wandering aimlessly through Kraid's Lair, enjoying the music.

    Honorable mentions: Duck Tales, Castlevania series, Double Dragon 2, Maniac Mansion, Super Spike V'Ball, Baseball Stars

    Notes:

    - Battletoads would have been up there, if the programmers didn't have such a personal vendetta against gamers. The rat race level is pretty much impossible.

    - Ninja Gaiden 2 sucks. I rank them NG1, NG3, big gap, then NG2. For the life of me, I don't know why most people see it as the best in the series. Boring story, frustrating non-fun level gimmicks and the ridiculous "ghost-ninjas" power-up. Terrible game.

    - River City Ransom is cool, but doesn't have much replay value.

    - I liked TMNT1 better than TMNT: The Arcade Game. It was more challenging and I'm a huge fan of old school platformers. I enjoyed playing TMNT2 in the actual arcade, though.

    - Double Dragon 2 is the best of that series, but DD1 has the best tunes.

    - Still haven't played Crystalis or Star Tropics yet. Heard they're awesome.

    Duck Tales was God to me on NES. I was never much of a gamer (never had the patience to get past 8-2 consistently in Super Mario Bros.), but by Christ I played Duck Tales until Dracula Duck went DOWN. It's one of those games I could pick up today and still beat without losing a life. I also really liked Mario 2 and 3, but I never played them enough to beat either. Same with Double Dragon.

    In college, my roommate and I used to play Nintendo Pro Wrestling a lot, too... Starman's mystique is timeless. Bubble Bobble was another great time-waster.

    I forgot about the gun. I enjoyed Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley, but my favorite was Gumshoe.

    I was trying to remember this game when I posted mine. I couldn't remember the name of it. I absolutely love this game.

    Awesome game, but I never knew it was on NES too. I had it for SNES. It would have been near the top had I known.

    1) Contra - Fadeaway that's mighty impressive, i don't know if i could beat the game without any powerups let alone not dying. the best I've done is 3 lives but with machine gun.

    2) RBI baseball - me and my dad must have played this game a million times.

    3)TMNT 2 - my favorite game as a kid was the arcade game and this was close. i still remember my mom buying this for me and i brought the instruction booklet to school to show my friends. it was huge.

    4)Tecmo NBA basketball - You could put any guard up at the top of the screen and throw it in to a center for a dunk, virtually any time. great game though

    5)Tecmo Bowl - nuff said.

    6)Megaman 3 - I loved snakeman's powerup, amazing game.

    7)Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers - great game with a friend, i loved how you could pick them up.

    8)RC-Pro-am - easily the racing game i've played the most in my life.

    9)Ninja Gaiden 2 - I like them all about the same but I always thought those little spirit things that fight next to you in 2 were sweet.

    10)Mario 3 - you could freaking fly. maybe i should move this game up the list.


    honarable mention to a whole bunch more. outside of 1 and 2 I could make a whole new list tomorrow i'm sure. I had too many nes games.
