Scenario: You are trapped on a island in the middle of no where. A few hours after becoming conscious since the horrible shipwreck, you locate a crate that has washed up upon the shore. Inside the crates is a NES top loader, complete with connectors and dog bone controller. Also a small self-sufficient generator and 22" flat panel TV are in the box as well! (Not to mention various uppers, downers, and a 5th of makers mark). So the question at hand is... You took your three favorite NES games with you aboard the ship, hoping to have time to play them on your vacation. With very little chance of being rescued, thus rendering you stranded at sea for an extended length of time.. what are the three games you would chose to have with you?

---

Sniper's choices:

---

1. Gradius (I love shmups. and this game takes a lot of time and patience to master).

---

2. Metroid (One of my favorite games of all time, despite how many times I have beat it).

---

3. Kid Icarus (Haven't had much time to place this one since I was a weee little lad. I remember how bastardly hard it was. I would love to have free time to explore this title).

---

Honorable mention:

---

Blaster Master (I have always enjoyed this game, never have finished it though. I was close to putting in my top three as a project that needs work, but kid icarus prevailed in that regard).

Well since its a shitty flat panel tv that rules out light gun games heres my list.

New Ghostbusters 2 pal.
Mario 3.
Metal Storm.

Legend of Zelda Super Mario 3 Bucky O Hare

Wow, tough choice. I'd have to say

1. The Legend of Zelda
2. Super Mario Bros. 3
3. Castlevania III

There are so many good choices, but I'd have to pick these ones for their replay value.

1: Contra
2: NWC Repro
3: Gold Zelda (would double as a reflective surface to flag down airplanes)

1. Bubble Bobble
2. Little Samson
3. Super Mario Brothers 3

Well I'd be pretty pissed to have to play NES on a flat panel, but other than that, I'll go with:

1-Metroid (I still get lost in this game, 20 years later)
2-Zanac
3-Adventure Island.

1. Legend of Zelda
2. Dr. Mario
3. Punch-out!!



...Dr. Mario lasts forever and I never get sick of playing Punchout.

now the dr mario music is in my head lol

Tough call....

1. Dr. Mario (one of the first games that came to mind)
2. Zelda
3. Contra

Honorable mentions:
1. SMB 3
2. Fire n Ice

I'd have my PowerPak!

1.) Megaman 2 (One of my favorite games of all time) 2.) Final Fantasy (because it would keep me entertained for at least a week straight beating it.) 3.) Tetris (nuff' said)

Legend of Zelda
Super Mario 3
Contra

Very tough...I hope we have extra gas for the generator

Super C
Dr Mario
Jackal

and of course I don't go anywhere with out wiz's mom to help me pass the time
~~NGD

NGD what is it with you and Wiz's mom...you two are inseparable

love.......nah, she is just great in the sack!
~~NGD

i would say:

1  action 52 (to make the nightmare worse)
2   solitair (because you are alone)
3   tetris

burdger brought up an interesting point...do multicarts, Powerpaks, etc. count? If so, I'd have my Supervision 110-in-1, Legend of Zelda, and Dragon Warrior IV .

^ That would kind of defeat the purpose of the thread.

^ Yeah, I guess I figured that was implied.

I'd probably want ones where I could design my own levels.

Lode Runner, Excitebike...

...and when I got bored of that, just Chiller and 2 guns. You're trapped, got to release some aggression

1. Baseball Stars 2. Contra 3. Bubble Bath Babes - 8 bit or not, can't imagine never seeing a boob again

mario 3
tetris
tecmo super bowl

Sorry Chiller won't work on a flat screen

It's not fair....it's just not fair!!

(+1 if anyone gets the reference)
