Mario (including the renamed Doki Doki Panic game). Zelda 1 and 2 of course but they're hard, and Final Fantasy 1 is quite cool too. Megaman is a good choice as well, same for Metroid.
Title: Re: nes games you would you recomend?
Post by: Yeong on November 07, 2011, 05:15:20 pm
also, if you're gonna try megaman, do in this order: MM6, MM2, MM4, MM5, MM3, MM1.
MM1 is hell for newbies. XD (Yellow devil... O.O )

^This. Even on Powered Up (the PSP remake of MM1), which is much easier than the original, the Yellow Devil is difficult if you aren't playing Protoman.

EDIT: I would recommend Final Fantasy 3. It's only English through a fan translation though, so you'll probably have to play it in a emulator.
Title: Re: nes games you would you recomend?
Post by: Yeong on November 07, 2011, 05:24:36 pm
actually, IMO, Yellow devil is just time consuming in PSP version D: It's not as hard as original one.
CAPCOM, y u no release MM Powered up 2

Here at VirtualNES.com we get emails regularly from hardcore gamers regarding all of the best classics, like Legend of Zelda, Bubble Bobble, and Super Mario Bros. Back in the day, consoles were very different in comparison to how they are now and they didn't offer any poker games. Luckily, the newer poker sites now fill that void, and with their no download poker software, have revolutionized gaming forever.

Poker has always been a popular game, and now with the technology of online poker it has become as mainstream as ever.

in addition to what has been said, i'd add adventure island 1-4, DarkwingDuck, Ducktales 1/2, Dragon Warrior 1-4, Paperboy, BibleBuffet, Dany Sullivan's Indy Heat, Mike Tysons Punch Out, Pro Wrestling, Skykid, and IceHockey.
EDIT: oh, and there is Y's 1/2 as well

If you like a good rpg I might have to say Crystalis for the NES.  Skate or Die games were pretty good too back in the day lol.
Title: Re: nes games you would you recomend?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 07, 2011, 08:05:43 pm
Hmm I never played Crystalis. I need to check it out. Sadly a lot of NES RPGs/adventure games weren't as good because back then the genre was still in its infancy for consoles and graphics often suffered (see Dragon Warrior 1 towns/dungeons and magic animations, for example), plus it took forever to level up.

One other game I liked was Ys 2 for the NES. It's really hard, though, compared to the Turbografx-16 version. I don't like Ys 1 as much for the NES because movement is slower and no emulator emulates it properly.

Post by: ::CMG (UTOPIA):: on April 30, 2012, 01:04:43 am
There's actually A LOT of NES games I would recommend playing, but rather than list out my laundry list, I'll just name a few that stand out the most...

1. Startropics
Short Version: Imagina Ness from Earthbound in the first Zelda game except you move from island to island fighting monsters inside caves
Long Version: Basically you're this dude that arrives on an Island via helicopter to visit your uncle who happens to be a scientist... only to realize that aliens have abducted him for unlocking a secret that no one was supposed to know and now it's your job to save your uncle and defeat the aliens.  The game is pretty much like a Zelda based gameplay style... fighting monsters, moving from one square section to the other, unlocking secrets and hidden items, ect.  Your hero happens to be a boy with a yoyo, like Ness from Earthbound (LOL A NINTENDO GAME RIPPING OFF OTHER NINTENDO GAMES, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?), but in different sections, you get to upgrade it to a shooting star, and then later to a SuperNova.  Each Island you come across involves talking to people and getting as much info as you can, then venturing off into the caves to fight monsters and access hidden areas, using the wisdon that you gained from certain people you talked to in the village.  So it's kinda like an RPG, but not really.  However, this game actually makes you think twice before acting, especially the boss battles, which range from ridiculously easy, to incredibly hard if you have no idea what you are doing.  For example..
Spoiler For Spoiler:
Stage 2's Boss is a giant Octopus that rapidly shoots out cannon balls in the direction that you are currently located, and you can only hop from one platform to the next since the platforms are spread apart.  Sometimes it charges to you, which is the exact moment where you should attack it, but it only stays close to you for like a second, then quickly goes back up.  If you found the hidden snowman item, you can use it on the octopus at the exact time he's close to you, then you can wail on him... which he takes alot of hits, so it'll be a while if you don't have the smowman item with you.
Overall, if you like adventure games, then this game is for you :)
P.S. You need a code to advance to Stage 5.  Incidentally, its the same code that Nintendo decided to stick in the game manual which pretty much explains the back-story of the game.  If this was still 1990, you'd pretty much be screwed without it, but obviously, with the power of the internet, you can find it pretty quickly on any gaming site

2. Abadox
Every space shooter ever made is pretty much the same thing over and over, but somehow Abadox uses that formula while keeping things original and fresh.  Basically the plot is this... a spaceship traveling through space gets sucked in by a planet with a mouth... yep, the entire planet is alive, and now it's your job to go inside the planet, and travel through all the organs and guts of the thing to reach the end to rescue the ship.  For 1990's standards, it was pretty gory and gruesome... you wind up going inside the mouth, seeing the tongue and teeth, then working your way through the bloodstream while the muscle tissue formed hands to each out and grab you, going deeper into the body where white blood cells, and all sorts of random monsters and creepy things (including a teddy bear in a bubble... no joke) try to kill you.  It's pretty entertaining, the monster and boss battles are creative yet weird, and the power ups range from weak (3 way spread shot), to really awesome (laser beam shot).  Unfortunately, this is also one of those games that suffers from not only a hard difficult right off the bat (meaning that you're going to spend quite a while on one stage memorizing enemy attack patterns), but your fighter dies with one hit... and EVERYTHING kills him, even the ceiling and walls.  But if you can overlook and overcome those flaws, then you'll be fine.  It's not "Silver Surfer" hard and bad, because the game IS beatable, but if you're looking for a challenge, then this game is definitely for you.

3. The Goonies 2
Very similar to the first game, but with graphical and level improvements.  Basically you go from house, to basement, to cave, to ice cave, even underwater, to find and rescue your friends that have been locked in cages inside rooms all over the map, and ultimately rescuing the mermaid person in the last underwater level.  The only way I can explain this game is by comparing it to something like Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow... both games require going to different areas, backtracking to find hidden goodies (specially in the rooms) while upgrading your item list, and weapons (which btw... another game that has the hero using a yoyo, lol).  Not to mention that for a game, based off of a movie, the soundtrack is actually enjoyable to the ears, especially the main theme, which I would take the 8bit version over the actual movie theme anyday :P If you like this style of gameplay, then I would recommend giving this game a shot
Title: Re: nes games you would you recomend?
Post by: Yeong on April 30, 2012, 03:23:07 pm
I never got the point of The Goonies 2. I might give the game a second try. :)

Post by: TheNlightenedOne on April 30, 2012, 05:05:06 pm
I'd reccomend Balloon Fight, Ice Climber, Wrecking Crew, Excitebike, and Xevious, in addition to many of the games mentioned by others...
Title: Re: nes games you would you recomend?
Post by: AzNg0d1030 on April 30, 2012, 07:20:12 pm
RPGs that are famous on NES: Final Fantasy I, Ultima IV Quest of the Avatar, and Dragon Warrior.

Earthbound Zero (The Prequel to Earthbound), except I don't know if it's available as a cartridge.  The japanese version, which is, is called Mother.

Get the "3D Classics" version of them both... the effects make the game experience more enjoyable IMO

And since we're on the topic of old arcade-style NES games, here's another few recommendation...

Milk & Nuts
It's a simple arcade game where you are a little pink dude thing trying to get all the fruit which will then open the house door for you to rescue the little pink girl thing.  However, you have to avoid one (sometimes two) blue dude things that try  to stop you from your objective.  ALso watch out for the "mario & luigi" fireballs that appear (mostly in the bonus rounds)

Joust
You're a knight/jouster, riding an ostritch, and your goal is to defeat the other knights/jousters riding vultures that are carrying eggs that you have to recover.  The arena is a bunch of platforms in a lava pit.  Be careful though, sometimes a pheonix will come out of nowhere to try to wreck your shit

Milk & Nuts! I remember that game as well.
Also, the Circus game was nice.

They actually have the circus game as a downloadable app game for the android... moving forward and back uses tilt control.  It's actually pretty cool

Post by: ::CMG (UTOPIA):: on July 02, 2012, 07:57:52 pm
Here's two more...

Mappy-Land:
The original game was a classic arcade style game where you're a mouse trying to collect all the items and avoid the cats chasing you.  The sequel actually has a story-line and is kinda like a platformer, although the gameplay is the same as the first game.  I'd definitely recommend it as a quick time killer

StarForce:
If you like spaceshooters, you'll love this one.  Although i suggest playing the PAL version of the game rather than the USA version, just for better music.  The PAL version was released before the USA version, and even though the instruments are more simple, it definitely sets the mood better than the USA soundtrack, which is more quiet, and not as loud. Oh, and this game is also HAAAAAAAARD.  Especially if you're playing the Arcade version from the Virtual Console section on your Wii... THAT version is jacked, lol XD

I suggest you check out RetroZone's homebrew (http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?cPath=30) and reproductions (http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?cPath=29). And, if you have a bit more money, a Powerpak (http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?cPath=24) will allow you to play rare games without having to worry about finding a cart.
