Which of these games should I keep in my collection? Purely from a gamer's point of view.

I need to thin out my collection a bit so I'm going to sell a few things. All of these I picked out, meaning they didn't make the cut. Problem is, I haven't given all of these games a fair shake. Are there any really good games in here?

I don't care about rarity, value, subsets or anything like that. I just don't want to sell a bunch of stuff I'll want back later, after I find out that it was a good game.
I don't have much time right now to exensively play test all of these, so I'm asking the community for help.
Which of these do you think are pretty good? I'll try a few out before I sell. Thanks guys.

Most of those are just average to terrible.

No classics or hidden gems in that mix, just filler. Sell it all.

Werewolf, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Solstice are good games imo, and are worth keeping.

I would keep all the black box games, because they would be the most valuable. I know you said that you don't care about value, but they are classics.

Out of all of those I own the black box titles, Top Gun, and Iron Sword. I'd keep those and sell the rest. I wouldn't add them to my collection.

I'm probably one of the few people who actually enjoyed Rambo. I poor man's Zelda II for sure, but I also think Zelda II is a fucking awesome game, so a poor man's version is still worthwhile.

As another poster said, Solstice is also a very good game.

American Gladiators and Rocketeer are two of my favorite games. I play them both REALLY frequently. I beat AG once a week or so, but there is a lot of nostaliga factor. I rented that game over and over as a kid and could never beat it so beating it now is fun to do over and over. I also really enjoy Captain Skyhawk and paperboy 2. Guess I have bad taste because there are a lot in there I would not sell PURELY from a gaming perspective, putting value/colectability aside completey.

EDIT: Somehow I missed blue marlin. Give it a chance, that game is the shit. I hate fishing in real life, but I can play blue marlin for hours and hours. Almost like an RPG, the search and work that comes into catching the biggest fish make it SO rewarding when you do so.

The rocketeer is awesome! Keep it. That game does not get enough love. It's a really fun platformer where you have a jet pack and can switch between a bunch of different guns. It's a fun game with an amazing soundtrack.

If you sell Rambo and 10 Yard Fight (as long as it's not a hang tab box) I will definitely buy them from you.

Keep Young Indy, definitely a quality game nobody says much about.





Golf is a classic, keep that.

Blue Marlin is surpringly fun, my dad and I played it for an entire night last year.

EBD is decent too.

I have a soft spot for Taito Indy, but it isn't exactly spectacular. Nostalgia.

From what I recall, Werewolf was hard but also good.

My thoughts exactly. Nothing stood out to me at all here.

So I'm the only one who thinks Swords and Serpents is a fun game? Just a bit slow starting, but I'd still keep it. Nice having an RPG on the nes that actually allows you to cast passwall.
