I just bought an NES

[apsham]

So I just bought an NES with zapper gun and Mario\Duck Hunt from a guy that had an ad online, and he tells me he has over 300 doubles of games.

What are the classics, the must haves in your opinion? He's selling them for 5 dollars apiece usually, and I have limited funds.

GO.

This is most definitely not a joke.

Michael Biehn as Snake

Sean Connery as Big Boss

What more do you want?

[PkmnTrainerJ]

Get Battletoads and:

Rad Gravity.

Complete these and you are officially "The Balls".

This is most definitely not a joke.

Tecmo Super Bowl if you like American football is a must.

Dragon Warrior series (1-4). Even if you don't like RPG's and he selling for 5 bucks they fetch a pretty penny on Ebay as does Tecmo Super Bowl and Final Fantasy.

Mega Man series (1-6) are awesome action games

Castlevania (1-3) series is real good

Legend of Zelda series (1 & 2)

Pro Wrestling

Super Mario Bros. 3

Battle of Olympus (Action/Adventure)

WCW Tag Team Wrestling (I think that's what it's called) is the best wrestling game for the NES

Metriod

Jakyl

1942

1943

Al Unser Jr Racing is the best racing game

R.C. Pro AM

Crystalis (Action RPG)

Blaster Master

Mike Tyson's Punch Out

Iron Sword

I have around 40 NES games and own all of these except a couple. Most of these are the more popular with a couple personal favorites.

Edit: Added a couple more and say that yes Duck Tales and Battletoads are real good games.

Captain America & The Avengers.

[Guest MistaKennedy]

Contra, Zelda 1, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and any Super Mario are the best games to have hands down.

[OGpistolpete]

Mike Tyson's Punch Out is a must.

[C-MIL]

Dick Tracy is oodles of funstration.

Dr. Mario too.

[apsham]

He's got everything that I've asked for so far, everything ISN'T five dollars sadly, but he's going to be buying some SNES\N64 games off me, so I'm thinking I'll be getting my games like that. Tomorrow or soon enough with the money that I have NOW, I'm looking to buy Punch Out! (sadly, post-Tyson rape case) and Pro Wrestling off him.

[maddog]

The post-Tyson one isn't as bad as people make it sound. It's the same game after all.. just a palette switch.

But there is something awesome about KOing Tyson.

Man I forgot all about Battletoads, the hardest game ever! Did they bring out a SNES version of it too?

[apsham]

Yeah, I had it. It was called Battletoads In Battlemaniacs.

And yes it had hoverbike levels. Fuck.

[Cactus Drags]

I hear Baseball Stars is all kinds of awesome, I'v got it for NesDS, but some of the sprites are garbled.

[Reddaye]

The NES has all kinds of little gems. Some of these have been mentioned before, but they're worth another. Most of these are platformers, or action games since I'm not into sports games or Japanese RPGs.

- Super Mario Brothers 2-3

- River City Ransom

- Duck Tales 1-2

- Bionic Commando

- Contra, Super C

- Megan Man 1-6

- Blaster Master

NES Archives is a great site for reference on these and more old NES classics. Their essentials list should cover anything I've missed.

Crap Super Dodge Ball FTW!!!!

lol I can't believe I forgot that game. It is a totally awesome game! Very nice graphics for the NES to boot!

[The Mask of Norro]

Super Dodgeball was love. I need to get my old NES stuff back, I had so many fucking games for that thing. My NES busted though, I'll have to buy a new one.

How expensive are they running these days? I know they're getting harder to find now, but I desperately want one again. That console is one of my favorites of all time, it's seriously just a brilliant little thing.

[apsham]

Go to your local Kijiji and see if there's anyone selling, I got lucky enough to find a guy who sold me mine with one controller, a zapper gun, perfect condition with Super Mario\Duck Hunt for 40 dollars.

I hear Baseball Stars is all kinds of awesome, I'v got it for NesDS, but some of the sprites are garbled.

Was always more partial to Baseball Simulator 1.000 myself. Fun as hell to hit a rocket ball and plaster the whole middle of the defense to the outfield wall while you stroll around for an ITPHR.

And hearty agreement with the Ninja Gaiden games and of course, mad for DuckTales.

While I dug the Castlevania series as a whole, #2 (Simon's Quest) sucked.
