WHAT?! No Kirby's Adventure??? You people should be ashamed of yourselves. Only platform game to rival mario,in my opinion. Oh and what about Excitebike? Good,honest fun.

Zelda
Metroid
Ninja Gaiden (series... couldn't really get into 3...)
Kid Icarus
Blaster Master
CONTRA!!!
Castelvania (1 and 3, 2 was OK, but not my cup'o'tea)

And I STILL have all 130+ games that my family bought for the NES. I've recently started playing around with it again, actually. Can't beat the classics!
