I always thought Bases Loaded was weak, I perfered SNK All-Stars.

Any list without Super Tecmo Bowl does not deserved to be viewed. LOL.....A Top 10 for me would be..

1. Super Tecmo Bowl
2. Tecmo Bowl
3. R.B.I. 3
4. Punch Out
5. Contra
6. The Original TMNT
7. Bases Loaded
8. Double Dribble
9. Double Dragon
10. Tetris

Tecmo Super Bowl should be #1.

I enjoyed Tecmo NBA basketball (a little easy).

Other than that:

Contra
Ninja Gaiden
Double Dragon

I enjoyed Blades of Steel but it was also pretty easy. Couldn't get into the baseball games. Bases Loaded was really slow and RBI was again pretty easy to beat.

Surprised Zelda hasn't been mentioned yet. Absolute classic.

Yeah a list without Zelda or Tyson's Punchout is a fail.

1. Tecmo Super Bowl
2. Mario Brothers
3. Bubble Bobble
4. Mike Tyson's Punch Out
5. Contra
6. Street Fighter II
7. Mario Brothers III
8. Ninja Turtles II
9. Ninja Gaiden
10. Zelda

I loved:

Mario's
(Super)Tecmo Bowl
Tyson Punch Out
Zelda (1st)
Castlevania (1-3)
Ducktales
Friday the 13th
Godzilla
Fester's Quest
Contra
Jurassic Park
Maniac Mansion
Silent Service
Mega Man (1-infinity)
Popeye
Rampage
TMNT 2
Pro Wrestling

...I need to go on Wii and see how many of these I can buy.

Greatest game soundtrack ever -- Mega Man 2.

I prefer Mega Man 2's...

Yeah, I edited mine after listing the wrong Mega Man. I was thinking of 2 and posted 3. MM2 soundtrack was a watershed moment.

All the games mentioned above were great here are some more that I loved

Punchout is a classic.

For me ...

1. The Legend of Zelda
2. Mike Tyson's Punchout
3. Super Tecmo Bowl
4. Bases Loaded
5. Double Dribble
6. Castlevania 2
7. Zelda 2
8. Contra
9. Dragon Warrior
10. Ninja Gaiden

In no specific order, my top 15:

Dragon Warrior 3
Dragon Warrior 4
Legend of Zelda
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Mike Tyson's Punchout
Tecmo Super Bowl
Castlevania III
Bionic Commando (the 360 Live Arcade remastered version's pretty sweet, too)
Faxanadu
Blaster Master
Battle of Olympus
Xexyz
Super Mario 3
Super Mario 2
Final Fantasy III (emulation + translation patch, as it was only released in Japan --- NOT the Final Fantasy III on the Super Nintendo which was really Final Fantasy VI)

^^^You lost all credibility with your mention of Zelda 2.

But I thought I was the only person in the world that played Faxanadu

Zelda 2 has a soft spot in my heart because when I was younger after I beat the game, I'd regularly speed run the "new game +" deal where you'd start with Link as powerful as he was at the conclusion of the game. It was great just tearing through those early dungeons and killing bosses with two hits.

I didn't just play Faxanadu...I played THE SHIT out of Faxanadu. That game might have been my #1 NES game I owned for a good 18 months. Kind of had a Tolkien feel to it with all the grotesque looking critters.

Also, I am a bit of a nerd, but I had the highest score recorded at Ducktales. I submitted it to Nintendo Power. I found a glitch in the game....haha

Zelda 2 also holds a special place in my heart ... I whined and whined that I wanted it for Christmas, and my poor grandma shlepped all over NYC and couldn't find it. She wound up driving 2 hours into upstate New York and buying it for $100, which was unheard of for a game back then.

Needless to say, I appreciated it, and played that game like crazy. The game pissed my off until Link learned the downward thrust, then I would cruise!

Still no mention of Paperboy? You guys suck.

Mario 3
Mario 2
Mario
Punchout
Blades of Steel
Arch Rivals
Zelda
Battletoads
Double Dragon
Tecmo Super Bowl
Ninja Gaiden
Contra
Tetris
Ninja Turtles
