What NES game should I play?

[supremespleen]

I've found my old ROM collection back form when I was a kid. I've got a whole bunch, and I'm not exactly sure where to start. What are some of the 'must play' NES games?

[Nutritious]

Bionic Commando

[megadave]

Bionic Commando - No jump (don't need one), a long bionic arm that allows you to navigate and swing around as well as grab enemies. And you have all kinds of guns that can be used with the bionic arm. Cool stages, good music, and difficulty. And a very strange final boss.

Ninja Gaiden (all of them) - Awesome story, music, and true ninja-like game play. Arguably the first game to introduce movie-like cutscenes to enhance the feel and story of the game. The music is amazing on all three, although there seem to be plot holes on the third game. You will get your ass beat.

Blaster Master - Awesome adventure where a young country boy tries to find his toad, finds a power suit and power tank, and ends up battling evil aliens under the earth. Awesome gameplay, upgrades galore, and thank Jesus for save states because it is looooooong.

Little Nemo: The Dream Master - Cool gameplay, feeding monsters and take their powers, travel through diverse worlds, big badass weapon you can't use until the end, wicked good music (typical for NES games), and very challenging.

Dragon Warrior 1, 2 ,3 ,4 - Early-style turn based RPGs that are fun to play and will cause you to die numerous times. Cool atmosphere.

Battletoads, Battletoads and Double Dragon, Double Dragon 1 and 2 - All of these are great side-scrolling fighters/platforming games that demand your attention. Look out for awesome music, killer special moves (read some FAQs, you don't want to miss anything), and big bosses that will beat you without mercy.

Zelda 1 and 2 - No explanation needed. Yes, Zelda 2 is much different, but an awesome game, and they both deserve to be beaten by you.\

Megaman series - At least try the first three, and 4-6 are still quite good. Not only do these games require good reflexes, strategy is very important - choose the right stages and choose the right weapons. Music is grandiose, so much that it has spawned tributes like the Megas and the Protomen. Control is solid as well.

Metroid and Kid Icarus - Just fucking do it. I dare you.

If you like puzzle games, then go for Tetris, The Adventures of Lolo (1-3, they are all good and will fuck your brain)

Extended learning: After you grow some NES balls, you should try some more experimental games: try Snake Rattle and Roll, Street Fighter 2010 (actually quite good if you learn to actually play it), Cobra Triangle, Karnov, Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, and Panic Restaurant

Now, be prepared, and make sure you have a good controller to work with too.

[Kizyr]

River City Ransom.

I'm sure there are others that I can't think of at the moment. I'll take a look at the ROMs I got once I get home for more ideas...

EDIT:
Snake Rattle and Roll, Street Fighter 2010 (actually quite good if you learn to actually play it), Cobra Triangle, Karnov, Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, and Panic Restaurant

Street Fighter 2010 is great (I had the cartridge itself back in the NES days). It's incredibly difficult, but a really fun platform game once you get good at it.

Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle was a good puzzle-ish platform game, also.

If any of these are too hard, well... There's always abuse of save states.

Oh... Mike Tyson's Punch Out! There's another good one. KF

[Tricklozen]

If you're just going to play something, then Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! is it, otherwise, as already mentioned.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

I enjoyed Mother.

[megadave]

River City Ransom.

Oh yeah, Punch Out. I've never beaten Mike Tyson. As much as I enjoy punch out, I throw the controller down in frustration after an hour.

[supremespleen]

Hm. Any way I can get an NES controller to work with my computer?

[megadave]

There is a way, I've even seen it done with PS2 controllers, but you'll have to look that up on your own. Just get a decent $20 controller. You can find them just about anywhere.

[Bigfoot]

Few off the top of my head:

Super Mario Bros. 3
Contra
Crystalis
Any of the TMNT games(yes, even the first :P)
Zelda
Metroid

[DeepChild]

+1 to Blaster Master, Kid Icarus, and Metroid. I also loved the original Metal Gear. Aside from the great gameplay, this game is worth experiencing if only to be shown how far localization has come in 20 years.

As far as making a NES controller work with your PC, Google seems to think that it is a rather complicated process involving soldering etc. However, there do seem to be SNES controller to USB adapters out there for sale.

[Adam_Slight]

Play "M.U.L.E" for like 2 minutes and then delete it.

[JJT]

battletoads is amazing.

if you like puzzle games, look no further than lolo3.

[jmr]

My favorites are Kirby's Adventure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby%27s_Adventure), Super Mario Bros. 3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros._3), and TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_III:_The_Manhattan_Pr oject).

I'd also recommend checking out DuckTales (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckTales_%28video_game%29), Captain Skyhawk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Skyhawk), Adventure Island II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Island_II), and Thrilla's Surfari (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_%26_Country_II:_Thrilla%27s_Surfari). I don't see them on many recommendation lists, but I think they're alright games.

[Brycepops]

I would recommend Dr. Chaos (how could I not? >:3), and...where's the Double Dragon love? ;-;

[Shining Mirage]

Journey to Silius
Bump n' Jump
Double Dragon 2 (Go pick on Mr. Violence)
Super C (Just because)
Rad Racer
Megaman 1-3
Zelda (Your own TAS, I guess...?)
Super Mario 2 & 3
Bionic Commando

...I'm all out of ideas, outside of that. Unless you feel brave enough to tackle Rolling Thunder...

[DukeNukem007]

Play the Japanese Castlevania 3 (Akumajou Densetsu.) Vastly better music (VRC6 chip,) slightly better graphics and gameplay.

Madara is a good Konami RPG that also has excellent VRC6 music, and is Japanese but has a translation hack (go to Aeon Genesis.) A little inconvenient in the gameplay department, though.

I want to see the Lagrange Point translation finished!

[Kizyr]

There is a way, I've even seen it done with PS2 controllers, but you'll have to look that up on your own. Just get a decent $20 controller. You can find them just about anywhere.

I believe RedOctane has a pretty inexpensive PS1/PS2 -> USB converter. I use that, plus a first-generation (no rumble or analog) PS1 controller always, and have found that to be the best controller in general.

The thing is, all the $20 controllers I've found designed specifically for PCs have crapped out quickly and been pretty poor quality. Those old PS1 controllers were designed to take decades of button-mashing, so they hold up much better. On top of that, you have plenty of shoulder-buttons to assign to extra emulator functions (like speeding up/slowing down/reversing the game, save/restore states, etc.). KF

[Beatdown]

I had once played this weird game as a child called Monster Party that felt like a really bad dream only I was beating the shit out of it with a baseball bat and turning into a flying nightmare dragon thing. Then there was Little Nemo: The Dream Master which was the total opposite because I was throwing candy at things and turning into bees and frogs and shit while riding giant toy trains.

Man, I played some trippy games as a kid.

[Penfold]

Gonna have to agree with any Mega Man game, along with Metroid, Punch Out!!, Super Mario 1-3, TMNT, Zelda,and Double Dragon...especially Mega Man 3, Metroid, and Punch-Out!!.

I also recommend 1942, 1943, Castlevania, and Ninja Gaiden. I know there are more, but those are the ones which come to mind right away.

Monster Party is cool on its weirdness alone. The beginning, when everything changes in front of that giant tree, it's just freaky as hell. Don't forget about fighting kabobs, onion rings, punk rock guitarists, house cats, and upside-down naked people buried in the ground.

[Red Shadow]

if Earthbound 0 isnt in there i suggest you acquire it

[Penfold]

Oh man, I very vaguely remember the movie. Wow, that's nostalgic.

[Nick Hyral]

Few off the top of my head:

Super Mario Bros. 3
Contra
Crystalis
Any of the TMNT games(yes, even the first :P)
Zelda
Metroid


*shudders at the thought of the first TMNT* Sadistic much?

Yes.. YES!!! Mario 3.. I still pick that up every month or so and play.. not Allstar version.. Itchy4tasty NES goodness :O

I'm going with MegaDave.. goes without thought. Kid Icarus and Metroid. Big emphasis on Zelda 2. I also liked Yoshi I think that's what it was called.. stacking all the bloopers and such.. stuffing them in eggs when you can.

[Barnsalot]

No Final Fantasy yet?

But, I guess there are plenty of better versions out now that you wouldn't need to get into the NES one.

[Ero Elohim]

Star Tropics

Second one would be easier to get into nowadays, but the first one is the better game in all respects. It's ridiculously hard, as most NES games are. Word of warning: You will need to go to GameFAQs at least once during the game.

[Dhsu]

Is there a consensus on the best NES emulator, btw? I was looking at FCE Ultra, but some people were recommending RockNES over it.

[BardicKnowledge]

StarTropics all the way -- you absolutely must play this.

In addition to the others mentioned, play Clash at Demonhead. It's a great alternative when you burn out on Megaman (which you should if you play NES enough).

[Shining Mirage]

I almost forgot to mention something else...

...Lifeforce.

Invest in it.

Edit:

Well, I'm currently using FCE Ultra, and my only problem is the audio dumps and file locations altogether. Other than that, everything else is pretty much cool. I haven't heard anything about RockNES.

[Jetfire1]

Is there a consensus on the best NES emulator, btw? I was looking at FCE Ultra, but some people were recommending RockNES over it.

Man a lot of these games are bringing back some great memories. I really can't recommend any others that hasn't been said already. As far as an emulator, Dhsu, I use Jnes. I haven't had any problems with it and it will run nicely in a window. Now if I can just get a good N64 one that won't act all funny at a higher resolution....

[Beatdown]

Oh man, I very vaguely remember the movie. Wow, that's nostalgic.

The game was actually based on that movie. I had read the old, fucked up comics so that was a very happy version of what I was expecting.

[I-n-j-i-n]

Duck Tails, Batman and Tiny Toons.

Those were easily some of the best licensed games made in the early 90's.

[Beatdown]

Duck Tails

Get to Moon level.

Save state.

Repeat x10.

Hum the theme for the next week.

[baconium]

Gotta agree with Star Tropics. Never got around to getting my hands on the second one, but the first game was excellent in every respect (and yes, stupid hard). I don't think I beat it when I was a kid, haha.

Also, nobody has mentioned the greatest scrolling shooter EVER, and easily my favorite NES game. Tiger Heli. Amazingly awesome for reasons unknown. I played it for hours on end, though.

Two cents from a forum lurker. :)

[The Coop]

[Red Shadow]

earthbound 0

[PlastikBag]

Bucky 'O Hare!!!

Seriously though, I love that game.

[BiteBishop]

Agreed on the Mega-Man games as well as Mario 3.

Metal Gear 1&2. If you play Metal Gear 1, then search around on the internet for a way to make it through those 1-screen mazes. They aren't worth spending the hours it takes to blunder through, though the rest of the game is good.

...and you can't beat the engrish: "Oh-oh! I feel asleep!"

Zelda 2. I know many consider it blasphemy, but I liked it better than Zelda 1.

Contra.

Metroid. Though I still hate bomb-climbing to this day.

As for emulators, I use NESticle, though I really can't recommend it. It works, but I am sure that there is better.

[Lotd2242]

Everyone remembers Ducktales, but everyone forgets Rescue Rangers. That game is too much fun, particularly if you play with someone else.

[supremespleen]

Kid Icarus is fun as hell.

[megadave]

Gotta agree with Star Tropics. Never got around to getting my hands on the second one, but the first game was excellent in every respect (and yes, stupid hard). I don't think I beat it when I was a kid, haha.

Oh yeeeeah, Tiger Heli was great. I would play that, 1942, and Excite Bike all the time at a friend's house back in the NES days.

[KD3]

LEGACY OF THE WIZARD

It's a difficult, directionless sidescroller that takes place in a gigantic maze, with I think 5 characters to choose from. It's incredibly sophisticated for 8-bit.

[Jaybell]

Everyone remembers Ducktales, but everyone forgets Rescue Rangers. That game is too much fun, particularly if you play with someone else.

Oh man, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers is friggin' awesome. But it gets even better in two player. It's so much fun just throwing your teammate. :D

[Lotd2242]

Oh man, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers is friggin' awesome. But it gets even better in two player. It's so much fun just throwing your teammate. :D

In two player mode, that game inevitably results in somebody hitting someone else with a box, and then it descends into throwing boxes at each other so that you can throw each other into holes. Which is, of course, exactly how it should be. :-D

[danimal cannon]

Oh yeeeeah, Tiger Heli was great. I would play that, 1942, and Excite Bike all the time at a friend's house back in the NES days.

I was partial to Twin Cobra myself, but it was pretty much the same game.

[Zutnunzor]

Play the first Wizards and Warriors. The music is so annoyingly awesome.

OH YEAH, and Destiny of an Emporer. Awesome RPG.

Clash at Demonhead is great.

Definately play Castlevania 1-3. Like nonstop over a weekend. 1 and 3 are short, and 2 will quench your castlevania lust easy.

Cobra Triangle is a sweet game. F'in boats man!

AND I FURTHER SUPPORT DUCKTALES. THAT GAME WILL MAKE YOU TEAR YOUR EYES OUT WITH JOY.

Actually... FF1 will make you tear your eyes out. But its the first Final Fantasy! You can't go wrong! :-D

[!Nekko!]

If you can get a hold of it, Chiller is an awesome (not because it's good) unauthorized light gun game, but you can use your controller, too. I mean, the last level is a torture chamber where you torture different people in different horrific ways. How awesome is that?!

[Bigfoot]

I forgot a title!

Solstice

[megadave]

DuckTales and Rescue Rangers are awesome. Oh man, Nintendo need to start bringing all of the 8-bit and 16-bit Capcom-made Disney games to virtual console, like pronto.

[Kizyr]

Is there a consensus on the best NES emulator, btw? I was looking at FCE Ultra, but some people were recommending RockNES over it.

I've had the best results with FCE Ultra myself. It runs pretty smooth, has all the standard features (save states, speeding up the game, etc.), and the hacking features are likewise pretty good and relatively easy to use.

If you can get a hold of it, Chiller is an awesome (not because it's good) unauthorized light gun game, but you can use your controller, too. I mean, the last level is a torture chamber where you torture different people in different horrific ways. How awesome is that?!

...how in the world did that get past--oh, it was unauthorized.

I was under the impression that the only company that managed to really sell 'unauthorized' games was Wisdom Tree (the makers of Bible Adventures, Sunday Funday, and Spiritual Warfare. ...Spiritual Warfare is actually not that bad if you can overlook the whole 'smite the heathens' theme.)

...come to think of it, you might want to go ahead and get Spiritual Warfare. KF

[DarkAura]

Gauntlet
City Connection
Skate or Die (1 and 2)
Monsters in My Pocket
Excitebike

City Connection... while an annoying game when it comes to controls, plot, and music, other than that, it's quite addicting. I actually want to attempt to remix the music of the first level...

Monsters in My Pocket brings back some serious memories. I never did beat that game.

The original Gauntlet was fun, and even more so when you have a second player.

[Maco70]

RAMPAGE.

Also (to fill character limit)
SMB3
Darkwing Duck
Insult Master

[Maco70]

Is there a consensus on the best NES emulator, btw? I was looking at FCE Ultra, but some people were recommending RockNES over it.

I use nestopia.
And it is fully compatible with my NES pad as well.
It's very basic, but works very well for me.

EDIT: Oops, double post... Shoot me with a light gun.

[Lotd2242]

RAMPAGE.

Also (to fill character limit)
SMB3
Darkwing Duck
Insult Master

Rampage is great if you have a few hundred hours to kill trying to get to the end. :-)

And I must've rented Darkwing Duck a hundred times, and I never beat that game. I remember it being infuriatingly hard.

[herograw]

so this might leave some people scratching their heads, but...

Lode Runner
The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle

I'm a sucker for simple games like this because even with their primitive underpinnings they still invoke a sense of suspense.

[Darklink42]

Boulder Dash (One of my favorite head scratchers of all time)
The first FF (if you want to smash your head through a wall on account of horrid AI)
Star Tropics (One is better than two, both rock)
Zelda 2 should only be played if Zelda one has been beaten. I despise the game, but on it's own merits It's not too bad.
Trog (Another one of those old games I played for ten minutes as a kid and loved)
Donkey Kong (Because it's short and sweet, and still awesome to this day)

I use FCE Ultra myself, and I've never had a problem with it.

[DarkAura]

Oh yeah.. don't forget the game Sweet Home.

[q-pa]

Hm. Any way I can get an NES controller to work with my computer? I bought a NES -> USB cord online for about $20. I forget where, but look around the net for it.

Adding to the list, personally I like Bomberman 2, Paperboy and just last week I tried Baloon Fight (the game the WarioWare series continually shoves up your ass :roll:). As simplistic and arcade-y as it is, it is a pretty decent game FWIW.

Also, since we're talking emulators, look up a ROM called Dance 2000. It's an attempt to make DDR for the NES. :lol: It only half-works but it's pretty funny.
Edit: There are also interesting homebrew ports of Tekken 2 and various Street FIghters.


Edit2: How did we get this far without mentioning DR. MARIO?!

[Lotd2242]

Because Dr. Mario is just a rip-off of Tetris. :-)

[supremespleen]

Holy cow. Lots of suggestions.

[Red Shadow]

Because Dr. Mario is just a rip-off of Tetris. :-)
But it has better music, so there you go.

also.

Earthbound

Oh wow, I feel like a jerk now.
If I had seen that post I would have posted this before.

http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?categoryID=79

I bought the retro port, and I highly recomend it.
It works flawlessly, and you can find NES controllers around pretty easily.

[Calazael]

Ever play Xexyz? It's one of my favorites. Crazy fantasy/sci-fi sidescrolling action + side-shooter....
Try it if you never have, it's been one of my long-standing favorites.

[DarkAura]

Because Dr. Mario is just a rip-off of Tetris. :-)

So is Columns. XD

[Maco70]

So is Columns. XD

Except that Dr. Mario is decent, whereas Columns sucks it hard.

[BigBoss]

Mother

aka Earthbound Zero

[DarkAura]

Except that Dr. Mario is decent, whereas Columns sucks it hard.

Hey, I liked Columns.

And the remix for the music for Columns rocks so much harder than the remix for Dr. Mario.

Anyway... (gotta think WAAAAAAY back to the NES days...) um... another game... Dragon Warrior, I think it was called. You play a warrior guy in one stage on a side scrolling mission, and some of the stages you play a dragon with different breath attacks... it was pretty fun. I gotta find another ROM of that game...

[Former_Rocket]

This topic doesn't seem to have been used in a long time, but this my first ever post on this forum. I've been coming here for a while and figured I should just register and talk in the forums.

As for NES games you should play, here is my list.

1. The Guardian Legend
2. Batman
3. Legacy of the Wizard
4. Life Force
5. Capt. Skyhawk
6. Gargoyle's Quest 2
7. Super Mario Bros. 3
8. Overlord (civ. builder type game but still fun)

[BardicKnowledge]

If no one has mentioned Crystalis, then everyone in this thread is a failure. Best overhead zelda-style game for NES hands-down.

[LuckyXIII]

balloon fight

[LuckyXIII]

Star Tropics

Holy smokes! I never even tried the second one...but the first was my first RPG-ish victory.

[Jewbei]

Holy smokes! I never even tried the second one...but the first was my first RPG-ish victory.

the second one is tight its alot easier than the first one i remember getting stuck on that piano part back then there wasnt any gamefaqs

[Harmony]

if it hasn't been said (and I doubt it has been) then Caveman Games. Ahhh, memories of dragging your wife to the line, then hurling her downrange for distance. Good stuff :)

[LuketheXjesse]

Double Dragon II ! <3 (but absolutely positively not Double Dragon III (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMg6_IXCjo4))

Also G.I. Joe; Killer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6Sx1HPqTIw&feature=PlayList&p=34B48E66C3238FC9&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=91) soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pzd9uUsC4o&feature=PlayList&p=34B48E66C3238FC9&index=92) that (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUS7xcFKSv4&feature=PlayList&p=34B48E66C3238FC9&index=93) needs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL2WydAnobI&feature=PlayList&p=34B48E66C3238FC9&index=94) remixing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zquC6frGAFg). Actually, that goes for DDII as well.

Good thing Sixto remixed (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01506/) the best song from DDII. I remember when I first found it; I completely flipped out! :D

[Flare4War]

Bionic Commando

No way. You can play the new remastered version on the 360 for a cheap priced download and it owns the old version pretty hard.

This guy wins for The Guardian legend as #1 suggestion

I'll double it by saying "PLAY GUARDIAN LEGEND"...

totally wanna remix some of those songs... but i've got a lonnnnng way to go before I can..

[Red Shadow]

hey spleen have you played earthbound yet?

[TheSnowStorm]

Mike Tyson's Punch Out
BIonic Comando
Final Fantasy 2 and 3
Fire Emblem
Mother
Vice
Ninja Gaiden
Super Mario Bros. 3

[JH Sounds]

Has anyone mentioned Bad Dudes yet?

[Ferret]

You should totally play Timelord. It's 100% awesome.

[LuketheXjesse]

You should totally play Timelord. It's 100% awesome.

Used to own that cartridge.

Kickass title theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJmhVODe47s&feature=PlayList&p=429C9CB19B251DC1&index=0&playnext=1) too.

[The Biznut]

Grab a friend and play Silkworm. That game was lots of fun. The first stage music begs me to remix it everytime I hear it. TMNT 2 also!

[LuckyXIII]

wizards and warriors

[Shadowe]

The original super mario bros 1 and 3. All-stars just doesn't cut it, the music's not as good and the levels just don't have the same feel.

[Schwaltzvald]

The original super mario bros 1 and 3. All-stars just doesn't cut it, the music's not as good and the levels just don't have the same feel.

Really?

It felt the same to me, just a graphical overhaul and the option to save in the middle of the game where as the originals didn't have that. However one ought not to ever need to save in the classic games :wink:
