Darkman |
|
|
|
Solid platformer that has an unfortunately un-intuitive control system that takes a while to get used to, if you take the time though you'll find a very imaginative game. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Gyruss |
|
|
|
One of the only (if not the only) tube shooters available on the N.E.S and it's a good one, i'd personally advise people to use control method B. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Rush N' Attack/Green Beret |
|
|
|
Nice conversion of the arcade, the added 2-player Co-Operative mode was also a great extra other versions missed out on. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Legendary Wings |
|
|
|
Nice (if a little generic at times) Multi-directional scrolling shooter, with an enjoyable 2-player mode. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Trog |
|
|
|
Fantastic Pac-Man clone that oozes style and playability, another classic 2-player N.E.S game (there seem to have been so many) |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Double Dragon II |
|
|
|
The second game in the seminal double dragon series, a series that popularised the whole Beat-em-up genre when originaly released at the arcades, this was a pretty decent conversion too all things considered. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Dizzy the Adventurer |
|
|
|
The only dizzy game that retains the series feel that's available on the N.E.S (this is actually a renamed Dizzy VI ) gameplay consists of wandering around talking to people and solving their problems, it's all very English really (probably why these games were never popular in the U.S) |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Dragon Spirit |
|
|
|
Very enjoyable vertically scrolling shooter in the Xevious mold, which has good music, cut scenes and a general high level of presentation throughout. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Chip N' Dale |
|
|
|
Absolutely fantastic 2-player platform game that would probably have entered much higher on this list if it wasn't so disappointingly short and easy, great while it lasts though. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Arkanoid |
|
|
|
Top quality update of Break-out with new power ups and level designs, great fun. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Tiny Toons |
|
|
|
It may well be a clone of Super Mario Bros 3 but it's still a very high quality platformer, so anyone who's bored with Mario check this game out. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Abadox |
|
|
|
Horizontally scrolling shooter in the Side-arms mold, with a strange biological style to the stage design, difficult to master. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Batman |
|
|
|
Another great game from Sunsoft, one of the more underrated of N.E.S developers, and proof that licences, when handled by the right company can turn out right. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Bucky O' Hare |
|
|
|
Insanely fast platform-shooter that came out late in the N.E.S' lifetime and is now pretty hard to find, the usual high quality we've come to expect from Konami. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Legacy of the Wizard |
|
|
|
Cool platform-RPG that never seems to get the praise it deserves, recommended for all RPG nuts out there. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Metal Gear |
|
|
|
The first metal gear game and the start of the whole "stealth" genre. Though the conversion left a lot to be desired (check out the original MSX version which is virtually a completely different game) there's still enough good things about this game to earn it a place in the top 100. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
720 Degrees |
|
|
|
One of the first Extreme sports games and a timeless classic, must have been an inspiration for later games such as Tony Hawkes. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Cobra Triangle |
|
|
|
Isometric game that is hard to classify due to it's number of varied play styles, very under-valued |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Adventure Island II |
|
|
|
Great sequel to the original classic, added a some nice new elements whilst staying quite close to the original game. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Kid Icarus |
|
|
|
Another Nintendo classic on the N.E.S. Not much else to say about it really apart from hopefully it'll be updated soon. |
