Every game is good. Just a question of whether it's your cup of tea. Even Taboo is decent considering the purpose it was designed for

Astyanax, Zen Intergalactic Ninja, Kabuki Quantum Fighter, Toxic Crusader, Shadow of the Ninja, and (lol) Felix the Cat. I would also like to second Shatterhand

Wow, and here I thought I was the only person that liked Toxic Crusader...

No way man! I need to get another copy of that one. I dont have it anymore...

Yeah, mine's in storage. I loaded up on RPGs figuring I'm unemployed and have all kinds of time to knock them off...then I realized after I moved that I'm just not in the mood for RPGs

Doh! Are they really far away from where you are now?

Back of a giant storage unit that's packed to the gills, so yeah. I have 71 games with me (out of 640ish). Of those, I've finished 13 of them, and have come close on a few more that I just don't feel like firing up. At least I have 21 in transit that will provide an infusion to my collection

I don't understand why people don't like Craptain Skyhawk, it's a cheap dollar game that can be knocked off in a couple days, and seems pretty fun, both my friend and I beat this several times renting it. I'll take it over those damn side scrollers in a heart beat.

I really like Captain Skyhawk actually. It gets repetitive, but it's pretty sweet, and for a bargain bin title you can get pretty much anywhere you look, you really can't go wrong!

IMO, Battle of Olympus, Zen Intergalactic Ninja, Monster in my Pocket, POW, Power Blade 2, Vice Project Doom, Shatterhand, and Mechanized Attack are all very underrated titles. Oh yeah, and I love me some Menace Beach too

Ufouria

Toki

Ufouria is great. Playing it makes me feel like being 5 years old again.

Ultimate Air Combat - Very good flight simulator altough its best feature is the base stations gameplay mode. It's like Galaxy 5000, also by Activision.

Crackout - Basically Araknoid all over again but very enjoyable.

Castlequest - It's one giant, 100-room maze coupled with puzzle elements. Great fun, if you ask me.

Gun.Smoke - I never hear anyone say anything bad about it, but I rarely hear any praise either. I think it's one of the most fun shooters on the system.

Air Fortress - Same as Gun.Smoke. You hear nothing bad, but rarely anything good either. Extremely fun game and not exactly easy either. Giant mazes and very interesting elements like the way you use/regain power.

8 Eyes - Gets crapped on a lot for not being Castlevania (I hate the word 'clone'). The use of the bird makes it an extremely interesting game in both 1 and 2 player. It has great music and a dark theme. It even has some Mega Man style in that you need to figure out the order to beat the bosses. Not to mention a pretty sweet riddle that you need to figure out in order to beat it.

Fester's Quest - A lot of people don't like it at all. I always enjoyed destroying aliens with Uncle Fester. Granted the '3D' mazes are annoying at best, but they can be overcome. Has a lot in common with Blaster Master and it has a great sound track.

I'll post more if I think of them.

I like solar Jetman. A lot of people forget this awesome game.

Kabuki Quantum Fighter- one of my favorites on the console!

i second this!

yes. forgot about this one. great game.

Agreed. Twin Eagle is also a good 1943 clone. Plus you can rescue hostages as well.

Did anyone mention Felix the Cat? The whole powerup system was pretty cool.

Cowboy Kid. One of the best multiplayer titles on the NES that nobody's ever heard of! Plus when you beat a level 2-player, you get one of the most racist scenes on the NES (Sam rides his horse at a leisurely pace, while Little Chief runs behind at top speed trying to keep up). Sounds tame, but yeah, not much made it past the censors (well, except maybe Whomp 'Em...wonder how that made it past Quality Control ).

I agree with a lot of these, especially Cowboy Kid, Cpt. Skyhawk, Jaws and North & South. Those were some of my favorite games as a kid.

I'd like to throw some sports titles out there: Little League Baseball (Baseball Stars steals all its glory),Ski or Die, and Capcom's Gold Medal Challenge which is still the best Olympics game I've ever played on any system.

I wasn't a fan of most of LJN's stuff, but "Gotcha! The Sport" was a great light gun game. You used the dpad to move left and right around the scene and used the gun to shoot which added a nice twist. Good graphics and pretty fun all around.

The Guardian Legend is the game I always say on these threads. I really think it's one of the best games on the whole system, but critical reviews are usually just lukewarm. It's a very unique blend of shooter and rpg that works surprisingly well, and unlike Metroid it's female character isn't hidden. I also love all the weapons and the fact that you can check you password. I abandoned so many NES games due to incorrect passwords. That was a really innovative game.

I found this game really mediocre. I liked the music but gameplay wise it ain't that great. And I sucked with the tank. lol

@wizard 666: Does not sound racist to me. Rather funny.
