I was waiting for someone to post this. And I 100% agree.

I know this is more than five, but I felt like naming them. I could have named more but I chose to leave off the ones everyone else already said, which I almost completely agree with.

... that aren't Metroid, a Mario platformer, Zelda, Kid Icarus, Castlevania, Megaman, Punch-Out!!, Final Fantasy, Tetris, Baseball Stars, Tecmo Bowl.... you know, great overlooked games...

Blades of Steel
Ducktales
Bubble Bobble
Base Wars
TMNT 2: The Arcade Game
Master Blaster
Strider

For starters...

[Otherguy676]

Crystalis (way better than it gets credit for, definitely gives every non 3D Zelda a run for its money)
Dragon Warrior IV (still one of the best RPGs ever, and the best US release at least possibly until VIII comes out)
Dragon Warrior III (if you played any version of it, you know why I listed it)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (better than any of the next gen ones and arguably the best in the series outside of the arcade games)
Vice Project Doom

There's no way you enjoy this game. NONE!

[megashock5]

[Squee]

Mighty Final Fight
Crystalis
Gauntlet 2

[alonzomourning23]

Gremlins 2
bad news baseball
R.C. pro am
Monster in my pocket
Dynowarz
Blue Marlin (only fishing game I've ever liked, and I love this!)
Gunsmoke
Snow brothers (I think, unlike the others listed I haven't played it since they were still making nes games, so I don't know if I still like it)
Little Samson
Totally Rad
Little Nemo Dream Master (Only game box that survived my mother tossing all my game boxes in the early 90's, and it's also the only gift I remember my grandmother giving me before she died, so it has extra sentimental value)
Blaster Master
Super Sprint
Astyanax
Abadox
Adventure Island 2 & 3

Those are the games (other than tmnt arcade, smb3, mega man 3, and mike tysons punchout) that occupied the bulk of my nes gaming as a kid. Except little samson, as I bought it but never really played it until this year.

There's no way you enjoy this game. NONE!

princess tomato is actually supposed to be a really good game. It's a mystery why I have it, I rented it when I was like 7 years old, didn't like it, but I still bought it fromt a rental store that closed when I was 8. I haven't played it since so I don't know if I agree that it's a good game though. It's too complex for little kids if I remember correctly.
