It’s pretty hard coming up with the 10 best NES games of all time, but here is mine:

10) Duck Hunt - As far as I?m concerned this is the only game that was worth having the Nintendo Zapper for.

9) Ice Climber - A great co-op game. Never got the big following when it first came out. It has grown to have a cult-like following.

Metroid - A truly one of a kind a game. It started the monster series that we all enjoy today on the Nintendo Wii.

7) Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - This may be a bit controversial. I know the game is not loved by many Zelda fans. But if you give it a chance, you can see tha it’s a real gem.

6) Castlevania - There may have been better games in the series, but where would it be without the original. Games like Resident Evil owe a great debt to this game.

5) Tecmo Bowl - Not only the greatest sports game for the NES, you could make an argument that it’s the greatest sports game in video game history. I’ll take this over Madden any day.

4) Contra - The incredible 30 player code that everybody memorized. It was impossible to beat it without it. It was also an incredible co-op game.

3) Super Mario Bros - The original. The king. What hasn’t been said about this video game already. The home video game industry may not even be here if it wasn’t for this game.

2) The Legend of Zelda - It influenced countless other games. It was the first game to have its own battery backup. No more passwords to write down. You felt like you were actually inside the game.

1) Super Mario Bros. 3 - The game was the perfect lead in to the new generation consoles and showed where video gaming was going.
