DanAdamKOF reminded me of a couple games I forgot to mention:
Makai-mura Gaiden: The Demon Darkness
This is the GB port of Gargoyle's Quest 2. They actually had it pictured in Nintendo Power but, it never came out over here, only in Japan. The NP pic always made me think there might be an English proto out there. There are two additional levels on the GB version that weren't in the NES one. The levels are where you obtain the exclusive items for this version, as well: the homing fire and spirit form (which is activated by pressing select).
Double Dragon 2
I usually recommend this to everyone...I can't believe I forgot to this time. It was released in Japan as a Kunio-Kun game. The game is super linear but, it's fun as hell. Also, mashing twice on the A+B buttons makes your character do a Shoryuken that nearly KO's every enemy, including bosses. It's almost worth owning just to do that...plus, you can knee drop the enemies when they're on the ground, lol.
