Started out with Base Wars! Let’s gooo! Amazing soundtrack as well!

I remember Willow being the "Poor Man's Zelda", because Zelda's price never went down even years after it was released, but Willow was always on sale. And "Super Dodgeball!" was amazing! It was a bargain bin purchase right along with "River City Ransom" and I never regretted it.

Hey Greg, If you’re playing Mike Tyson’s Punch Out! on an old school tv, I’m sure you can beat him. The secret I never hear people talk about, but it worked for me, was: when you dash to the side to avoid a punch, don’t let Mac centre himself, rather, if you dodge left, quickly tap right to quickly centre yourself, now you’ll have just enough time to actually counter attack. Try it a few times and you’ll finally take out this old school classic. Love the content!

I love the enthusiasm on display here. You and Squared Pegs are just so excited about old games! I dig it.

Battletoads is my all-time favorite game. I usually beat it a few times a year. I have been playing it since I was 8 years old. I'm 42 now. It clearly survives the test of time.

Guerilla War is a childhood favorite. The fact that you get unlimited continues with a simple 2 button combo was awesome

In Double Dragon 2, you can get more lives by starting a 2 player game, then beating up the 2nd player, resulting in taking all their lives.

This is one HELL of a list! Some of these games I have never heard of, and I grew up in the NES era. You have me wanting to go back and play. Thanks!

Oh man, the memories! Super Mario Bros, Gradius III, Gauntlet, Tetris, Excitebike, and Legend of Zelda, and double dribble...... Those were my staples! There were so many good games!

Super Mario Bros. This was my first heavy obsession. I've had some people telling me were going to Nintendo land just to get me to go on hikes. At that time, 1989, I didn't like hiking.

Thank you for bringing back to my youth with Magic Darts!! I had completely forgotten about this game, but seeing the chimp and the alien brought it all back!!

I didn't play Ninja Gaiden growing up, but I had to try it after seeing AVGN do a video about it. One of my favorite Nintendo hard game series.

Great list. Hidden gems. Did not know about the existence of some of these games you have chosen. Thanks for all you do !

Great video my dude. Brings back so many childhood memories. Thanks for the trip in nostalgia lane

Baseball stars is the gold standard for baseball games! Such great memories of that game

IMO the most underrated game is "Ring King". While "punchout" is far considered the prime boxing game on NES what I love is how "Ring King" allows you to make your boxer stronger, faster and take more hits by leveling up in "practice". The game also often gives you boxers close to your stats to make it more balanced so you don't destroy everyone. And the password feature lets you save all that hard work. Then you can fight a 2nd player, go for a cup in tournament or go for the #1 spot in rookie, USA and world spots. You don't have the crazy boxers like from "punchout" but I love that game. Played for hours as a kid.

Some of my favorites Rad Racer, Battle City, Super Mario 3

Great video! Great games! Thanks!

Great vid! Subbed

Man, all of these look and sound crisp AF! Am definitely going to need to try willow, guerrilla war and others at some point. Never had these back then. Really great list. Zanac could go right along with GunNac, for obvious reasons. No argument on PinBot here either.

Loved this! Played a LOT of Battletoads; I feel like that was my go to guilty pleasure game.

Cool video, I like these kinds of videos, brings back memories of some games I used to play or gives me ideas for some games I didn't play and should try to track down. Subscribed!

Pinball Quest was one that I constantly came back to. The Quest was so unique and the tables were fun when you weren't in the mood for the main game. Stealing from the store was always entertaining.

Great video dude 😊

Great list of games. Great review of them.

The absolute greatest NES baseball game of all time is Baseball Stars. Talk about addictive. to this day I've never played a better baseball game.

I 100% agree with this list! Fantastic job, man.

very good list, there are a few on there I need to give another go! I don't think I've ever even played Willow.

Okay? I was absolutely loving your video... then you mentioned Tetris and how it's your most favourite game of all time. Its mine too. I've never met anyone else who considers it they're most favourite game too ❤❤❤

Great video man!! Love pro wrestling!!

This was great to watch and you mentioned some of my favorites which don't always get the credit they deserve... (Elevator Action, Gyruss, Pinbot). If you liked Pinbot, you should also check out High Speed which is another excellent NES simulation of a classic pinball machine. Its from the same era and I think the same design team put together the NES version. Definitely check it out if you haven't tried it before!

This is a great video! I agree with nearly all of these choices!

Super Dodge Ball on the NES is an all-time banger that doesn't get enough love. I just spent a small fortune on the Neo Geo version and am just going to assume it must be that much better.

The pinball game with Mario in it was the one I had. I loved it

Lifeforce!! I used to olay the crap out of that and completely forgot about it until just now. Sweet.

Base Ears & Cyber all are 2 "future robot sports" games I adore!

so many classic titles to play, my go to was mega man 2 to 4 once 5 and 6 were out the snes was in full swing... chip n dale or ducktales was always a classic to play... not so much then as it was hard but one i go back to now is blaster master... batman games were fun too, donkey kong classic which was donkey kong and jr both on the same cart was a fun distraction, i loved playing and to this day keep playing simpsons bart vs the world, bart vs the space mutants was fun but could never get past level 3... good times we had with that old gray box back in the day

I find myself replaying Castlevania 3 on the regular. It's like the first one, but bigger and more variety of gameplay with multiple characters. I like the game so much I bought the Japanese version along with a famicom so I could get the enhanced music, which is incredible.

Ikari Warriors and YES! You got super dodgeball!

Those cheesey tunes bring back a lot of great memories. Agree about Tetris, one theme song I love. Super spike V-ball was addictive too but that may have been SNES. Great 4 player action

Two of my crowning achievements were beating Battletoads without continues, which I have done twice, and beating Castlevania deathless, which I did once on the NES and Vs. versions. I own 26 of the games on this list and can get behind them all. I would also like to mention that Dragon Spirit on the NES is superb as well. One of my favorite shmups on the console by far.

“The final countdown” is in so many things to do with pop culture. It’s weird… I don’t think the song on its own ever hit major mainstream success, yet it’s been used in so many shows, movies and commercials that it’s a legendary song.

You basically listed my entire collection. That was fun.

Great list! Gun Nac is underrated!

With Pro Wrestling it's like Jesse The Body Venture used to say when he did Wrestling Commentary back in the day: "If the ref don't see it, it didn't happen!"

Commando, Ikari Warriors & Guerrilla Warfare are all very similar (especially in the arcade) but due to Guerrilla Warfare's graphics & speed I feel it's clearly the best of the 3.

GYRUSS in the Arcade was better than Galaga in my opinion but when we got it on NES I didn't know how to feel but then I couldn't decide which I liked more lol Awesome lineup!!

Base Wars is my all time favorite NES game, but there is one I love more if I have a second player… Archon: The Light and the Dark!! It is absolutely BRUTAL against the computer, to the point of unfairness, but SO fun against a person!

three racing games that I found addictive: - Super Sprint - "Ivansomething" Off- Road - Indy Heat

Kickle Cubicle is one of the most addictive games on it, and im surprised it wasnt in this list.

Great video. The lack of capcom games proves my point when I say Capcom wasn't really All That Great on the NES at all!

Great vid...but no Rygar? Ninja Gaiden? Crystalis? Megaman/2/3?

Saving the best for last. It's my favourite NES game 💯

If you like Duck Hunt, you should try Barker Bill's Trick Shooting. Also, a wrestling game you should try is Tecmo World Wrestling.

Battletoads. Enjoyable game. Most frustrating thing - Not having a chance to play Level 3, Turbo tunnel.

I haven't played a lot of these games, but I still feel like agree with almost every game on here. No Willow though lol

I always enjoyed Bases Loaded II and Tecmo Super Bowl.

These are all great games, but I had no time to play them. I was way too busy playing Gyromite and Stack Up.

Duuuuuude! You included Willow! I thought I was the only fan of this one!

Similar to GUN-NAC is Zanac. Great game.

Dr Mario! Man... that was good. Especially with 2 players. Good list nevertheless.

Wrecking Crew was an awesome game as well. Burai Fighter wasn't bad either

If you truly love each & every one of these games you'll most certainly love *Toejam and Earl Back in the groove* . It woulda be great even in 8 bit!

Pro Wrestling was fun, but it was an infinite loop. You never actually beat it, it just keeps going and going like the energizer battery

Pinbot is a great choice.

Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And Love Retro Nes Games !

Okay. Best pinball of that era..... Revenge of the Gator for Game Boy.

Great video 🫡 Theres a lot I've never heard of on this list.

We NEED a Zapper and Duck Hunt for Nintendo Switch!!! Hogan's Alley, too!! :D They need the games to have 2 modes, classic and HD remake!!!!

Great video with some awesome games! But why spoil the ending cutscenes on so many of the games..?

I've gone back to play the Mega Man series on the NES more than any other games.

I absolutely hate all battle toad games and I love beat em ups it's basically my favorite retro genre also hate all Castlevania games that base wars looks cool

For me, it was Bump 'n' Jump, Spy Hunter, Ninja Gaiden, and Batman.

The first Zelda I play all the time. Jaws is another one.

Rollerball is my favorite NES pinball game

Super Dodgeball looks like what they played in gym class at River City High.

Kicka s s list!

Blaster master was a fun be a bit hard game was part of my childhood.

lol Hogan Ally a great NES laser gun game.

My sister and I played Basewars for hours at a time. I remember it fondly because the period of time after our family unity went to crap.

Definitely a great array of addicting games. Contra stood out the most. I did use the code. Don’t tell anyone.

One game i saw i will beat eventually is final fantasy 3. not sure what version it will be honestly. I love the remake on ds version though i have it on my phone. One day it will be beat.

How did you get such a broken version of Mario Brothers. I've never seen a broken ROM of that

couldnt beat og castlvania for years. Could get as far as the reaper and could never kill him until i learned about getting to him with the triple shot and holy water. Makes him arguably the easiest boss. After that, the last level and drac are tough but beatable for me without any specific set up like i need for the reaper. Reaper is still the hardest boss in any cv game in my experience.

Great list! Obviously thirty games limits you. I agree w/nearly every game on your list. Admittedly a few I've never played. I would add: SMB3 Trojan The Lone Ranger Ducktales Mega Man 2 Dr. Mario Golf Excitebike Castle Quest FFII Adventure Island Skate or Die (Ski) Hogan's Alley RC Pro AM Tiger Heli Jackal 1942 Dragon Warrior II Sweet Home (I played it emulated a few years ago) Mother (on Switch) Top Gun North & South Batman Balloon Fight Lolo Legend of Zelda Caveman Games (I think that's the title) Metroid Donkey Kong Collection Spy vs Spy Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout Code Name Viper Blaster Master Rainbow Islands Dragon Spirit Pinball Rad Racer Spy Hunter Adventures in the Magic Kingdom Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers Mickey Mousecapade Blades of Steel Jordan vs Bird P.O.W. Bionic Commando Renegade Ninja Gaiden The list goes on... These are only games that I played and really enjoyed. I combined your list to mine. Minus about four games. I have either never played them or didn't enjoy them thoroughly. That's it.

Thank you for darts forgot about that game I use play it love play as alien or ninja no nes championship bowling game ?

I didn’t watch this video but RC Pro AM is the best NES game. I can beat the game without losing a race. And beat every circuit 3x is beating the game. Well… Except for when orange car goes on a rampage. Can’t stop him unless u get a lucky shot and you’re not stuck with poop bombs Also funny u mention RBI baseball… That’s my 2nd fave game. RBI Baseball 3.

I always prefer Double Dragon 2. But I also never played the Sega port of the first game.

I beat double dragon 2. The last part was crazy hard. You have to fight like a ton of every character in the game. The chins and bobos would roll up on ya hard

I always loved Ninja Gaiden, I only played it on PC emulator using a keyboard, I could really far but never beat it =\

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3... its 2 but even more addictive

I feel like I'm the only one who enjoyed the KOEI games, lol. Especially Romance of the Three Kingdsom 2 and Gemfire.

Other addictive NES games for me was Excitebike, Kung fu, Gyromite

It would have been great if Hudson Soft had ported some of these games to the TurboGrafx16. The system probably wouldn't have fail like it did.

I have an opinion on some of these games. If I don't mention one, I never played it, not enough play time or I don't remember. Battletoads: Difficulty is high yet it's fun to play. Back in 2020, I beat it with a warp. Plus, I watched Bootsy Beats Battletoads. Those videos helped me a bunch. Castlevania: My personal favorite Castlevania on the system. Lots of fun even though it's tough. Especially the Frankenstein boss with his hunchback. He gives me trouble. Contra: Oh, no! Not again! I don't like this game. Why?! I'll tell you..... I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Double Dragon: I didn't care for it. I won't call it a bad game. That would be unfair of me to do that. Double Dragon 2: I like this one better. I beat it with a continue code back in 2020. I made a rule: Game Genie was not allowed but a level skip or continue code if I got stuck on a level is okay. However, I must return to that level. Cannot skip it and I must beat it. Duck Hunt: I remember not playing this until I was 9 years old. The music scared me so much as a young kid. Nowadays, I like it and it's a fun light gun title. Guerrilla War: Fun one. Glad it has unlimited continues. Gun Nac: Great shoot em up and it's an NES favorite. I own the Famicom version. Gyruss: I like this game. Music is pretty good. I like the 30 lives code is backwards if you want extra lives. Life Force: I like this better than Gradius on the NES. I read that the Japanese version is faster. Mike Tyson's Punch Out: What a good game! I managed to beat Tyson with many tries. S.C.A.T: Really cool game! It's like if Contra was advanced. Super C: One of my favorite NES games ever! I remember getting a copy at a Goodwill when I was younger along with my grandmother. Didn't know this series existed. Super Mario Bros: My first video game and I still enjoy it Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: I like it okay. I prefer the original arcade mostly for the music, sound effects and the final boss. Tetris: One of the best puzzle games. Tengen and Nintendo versions are worth owning. I remember playing the Tengen version with my nephew. He passed on last year... RIP David

Zanac! There are actually a bunch of others that are just as fun, but for sake of just naming one, Zanac is LIFE. \m/, 😊 ,\m/

I thought I was the only person that liked Willow on the NES.

I'd have to put River City Ransom on my list

The original Double Dragon doesn't have 2 player co-opt play which defeats the purpose of "double" dragon. The Sega Mastef System had co-opt and thankfully DD Part 2 on the NES includex it.
