The Top 10 NES Games of all Time
10) Duck Hunt – As far as I?m concerned this is the only game that was worth having the Nintendo Zapper for.
9) Ice Climber – It’s a cult classic. I know it’s not the most advanced gameplay ever concocted but it’s still a blast to play, even to this day.
Metroid – Completely innovative. Started a monster franchise. It may not be the best of the series, but where would it be without it?
7) Zelda II: The Adventure of Link – I know this isn’t a popular one for the Zelda fans. It?s hard game to get into. But once you do you?re absolutely hooked.
6) Castlevania – When deciding on the best Castlevania game, it’s like deciding on the best Led Zeppelin Album. The first one started the whole thing so, it should get credit.
5) Tecmo Bowl – Not only the greatest sports game for the NES, you could make an argument that it’s the greatest sports game in video game history. I’ll take this over Madden any day.
4) Contra – The ultimate code. We all now it by heart and it was the best co-op game of the 1980s. It never got old and still holds up really well today.
3) Super Mario Bros – What hasn’t been said about this game? The game might have single handedly saved the home video game console. After Atari bombed, Nintendo needed something like this.
2) The Legend of Zelda – It influenced countless other games. It was the first game to have its own battery backup. No more passwords to write down. You felt like you were actually inside the game.
1) Super Mario Bros. 3 – Incredible and innovative gameplay. You could tell where the future of gaming was headed after playing this game.
