Looking to expand my collection a little, just want to see if I am oblivious to any great games.

My current collection:

Mario 1/Duckhunt
Mario 2
Mario 3
Dr. Mario
TMNT
TMNT II: Arcade
Bases Loaded
Arkanoid
John Elway's QB
Tetris
Jackal
Guerilla War
Super C
Blaster Master
Tecmo Bowl
Tecmo Super Bowl
Punchout
Bump n Jump
Ducktales
RBI Baseball
Street Fighter 2010
Iron Sword
Superspike Vball
Beetlejuice
Caveman Games
Double Dribble
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
Thrilla's Surfari
Blades of Steel

My collection needs thinned out a little as there are a few games that I have no intention of ever playing again, and there are a few obvious games that I am missing (Zelda, Contra, etc).

My favorite by far is "The Legend of Zelda." Nothing comes close, that game kept my friends and I occupied for one great summer as a kid! I later got that magazine "Nintendo Power" ... anyone remember that? Wow, haven't thought of that rag in a long, long time :P

Also....Gunsmoke and Ikari Warriors are great games if you can find them.

And....how can you not have MegaMan games???They were cutting edge for their time!!!

RC Pro Am is sweet.

Excitebike. The music that plays after the race is so joyus...you hear the same tune whether you are 1st or dead last.

It's magical.

Justin, you need to read ALL of my fucking NES reviews and make that decision!!!

Or, to help, Faxanadu is an amazing choice. Bionic Commando is one of the system's best. If you like TMNT II, TMNT: Manhatten Project is essentially the same game engine with different levels. For RPGs, Dragon Warrior III and IV are both great. Castlevania III is possibly the best CV game of all time (the SMB 3 of the series). Battle of Olympus is great. So is Xexyz. Stupid name, but an awesome game that flew beneath the radar. Lifeforce is a great spin-off of the Gradius series.

And thanks for reminding me with your list...I do need to review Street Fighter 2010 before 2010 actually ends.

Oh...if you're willing to pay shitloads of cash (real money, no vCash), I do have some of these games IN BETTER-THAN-FUCKING-GREAT condition I'd be more than willing to pawn off for things like new cars, your house and whatever else pops into my mind.

I want to track down Dr. Mario and Paperboy, but I always forget when I get a chance to do it!



Justin, what's the name of that robot baseball game I have that you liked? If you're nice to me and don't already have it, I can probably toss it your way.

I will refrain from repeating some of the already mentioned greats.

I will add Super Dodgeball.
