Don't you mean Rainbow Island?

Lets see. NES? Favorites would be :

  • Dragon Warrior Series (A staple in defining today's classic JRPG of grindyness, but also one in breaking molds prominent in traditional aspects of progression. I enjoyed it primarily for it's openness approach to exploration over linearity. This generally meant you had absolutely NO idea where to go or what to do -- but that was the beauty of it and added to the experience of just traveling the world -- classic adventure style! Playing part to intense battles far beyond your scope/skills and somehow surviving within an inch of your life only to realize you have no idea where you are or how to get back -- forced to crawl, narrowly escaping behemoths, miles aimlessly back to town really enrich the futility of your mistakes and experience as a player. Fun fact, I also learned most of my vocabulary/mathematics from these types of games before I started grade school.)
  • River City Ransom (Beat'em up merged with exploration and statistical growth. Despite the relatively simple controls, the number of interactions between enemies/allies/objects was just beautiful. Holding a trash can with a player on top holding a tire holding a half-dead bad guy? Sure, why not! Throw 'em in a pit!).
  • Adventures of Lolo Series (Brainbusting top-down action-puzzle games with a penchant for racking minds and forcing players to plan and think ahead).
  • Zelda II : Adventures of Link (Black sheep of the series. Platformer mixed with RPG-style world map and statistical drive.)



Honorable Mentions would be :

  • Solomon's Key (Puzzle Platform Goodness.)
  • Mario 2 (Doki Doki Panic turned Mario for a fresh spin on characters we already knew.)
  • Mario 3 (The pinnacle of NES's glory days.)
  • Punch Out (Defined a unique take on boxing; arguably yet to be dethroned [or even imitated much] in that regard.)
  • The Magic of Scheherazade (Alternative to classic medieval lore RPGs in an Arabic environment. Time travel!?)
  • Godzilla 2 (My first Nectaris-esque turn-based-strategy experience.)
  • StarTropics (One of the first action rpgs with a linear story -- modern-day setting to boot).
  • TMNT 2 (Classic multiplayer arcade goodness.)
  • Faxanadu (Dark. Gritty. Hard.)
  • Double Dragon / Battle Toads (Beat 'em ups glorius beginnings. Remember, Abobo eats babies.).
  • Blaster Master (Funky platformer to top-down action game with a mysterious [but adventurous] vibe.)
  • Adventure Island Series (Prehistoric platformer with unique mechanical introductions and extentsions to the genre. Wait. Why is the caveman on a skateboard?)
  • Marble Madness (Ridiculously Challenging -- if not for the isometry and wet controls alone.)



Majority of the above also have exceptional soundtracks as well -- always a quality I look for in a game. Don't even get me started on the many, many wonderful SNES titles!

Going to just edit Zeth's list, as the entries he lists that end up on mine seem to be there for similar reasons.

However, these aren't honorable mentions for me, but favorites: Very Happy

  • Duck Hunt Darn you, laughing dog... No, really, I always loved the Light Gun peripheral.
  • Super Mario Bros. It's hard NOT to list this one, simplistic yet challenging gameplay, great soundtrack, and the ability for my grandfather to gather enough lives that the numbers turn into trees and coins.
  • Mario 2 (Doki Doki Panic turned Mario for a fresh spin on characters we already knew.)
  • Mario 3 (The pinnacle of NES's glory days.)
  • Godzilla: Monster of Monsters (Perhaps a sub-par sidescroller, but I was always (still am) a Godzilla fan, and the roster of monsters was pretty impressive to me at that time.)
  • Godzilla 2 (My first Nectaris-esque turn-based-strategy experience.)
  • TMNT 2 (Classic multiplayer arcade goodness, although I enjoyed the arcade version more for the four-player option.)
  • Donkey Kong, Jr. A not-altogether mediocre game that made Mario the "villain."
  • Double Dragon / Battle Toads (Beat 'em ups glorius beginnings. Remember, Abobo eats babies.)
  • TROG Pac-Man clone, interesting because of its "Dinosaur Age" theme and two player "coopetition" gameplay that was, at that time, brand new to me. Again, the arcade version was more fun for me, but I couldn't afford it!
  • Final Fantasy I wouldn't say that it broke molds, but I certainly couldn't wait to play it every day after chores. My first rumble within the RPG genre, and it advanced my reading skill reasonably.
  • The Legend of Zelda Before I liked playing this game, I LOVED listening to it. Every sound fit so perfectly to me. Aside from it's SNES descendant, A Link to the Past, it's my favorite in the series. It's also worth noting that it was iconic in hooking me into video games, and I'm almost certain that without it, I wouldn't be nearly as interested in video games.

How old are you realdeal? I find it odd that you experienced the nes days and not just the snes days. By the time you were born the PlayStation was probably coming out almost.

Doesn't really mean anything at all. When I was born the PS1 was already out but I've still tried some "old" consoles such as N64, SNES, Game Boy...

Yeah sure, but the consoles you probably had the most exposure and thus memories of were probably the newer ones. I'm just wondering.

We actually had sega genesis at home and not a snes. I was a Sonic guy, never really played Mario.

The original Ninja Gaiden Trilogy.

Hard as heck but probably the best games see on the NES console.

That really has nothing to do with it, I mean, if you have a older brother you will probably play his consoles and games I guess.

I never played a NES actually, started with a SNES, a Sega Saturn (with an import of the awesome Dragon Ball Z Shin Butouden),then moved onto the PS1 and Dreamcast and then finnaly had my own PlayStation 2.
