Worthwhile NES games to collect?

DangerousK · Dec 15, 2002

My memory is shot as it's been so many years since I've bought NES games. What are some titles that are worth getting? I know there are a lot of NES games, but any listing of ones worth getting would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nobody mentioned this one :

Robo Warrior, from Jaleco.

Haven't seen a complete Euro set in years.

But a US version is easier to find, but still tough. <img src="graemlins/annoyed.gif" border="0" alt="[Annoyed]" />

I would also like to include my one "kiddie" pic. Kid Nikki! Sure this game has somewhat kiddie graphics but at the time I was a kiddie so I have an excuse.

Loopz · Dec 15, 2002

No one mentioned the REAL Tetris, aka Tengen Tetris for the NES. Great music, has the two player mode non-existant in the shitty Nintendo rev. Worth owning.

SSS · Dec 15, 2002

WILLOW!

I saw a guy who could have been willow's long lost twin the other day (not a little person, but had the same exact face)

also check out the CPS-1 arcade game. (I don't have to tell you how

)Pretty fun side scroller. Somewhat like magician lord, nice graphics.
