Well, having no past experiences with the NES (Sega was in my childhood), i decided to pick up a NES console (alone) from the bay for £12, already have the controllers and PSU. So can you recommend me some games for it please? It's just sitting there screaming "PLAY ME!" :P

I'll definitely give Contra a try, kinda like Metal Slug. I'll see what kage offers me aswell.

basically, Kage is the cool version of Ninja Gaiden. ninja gaiden is good, but kage is superb. i mean i still to this day, stare at the background and listen to the music of the game and love it.

Bubble Bobble is a good NES game. Don't be fooled by the bubbles and characters.

Do you mean most 'hardcore' gamer to play NES? I've had an NES since March of 1988 (works as well as it did then). I've played NES on the real thing, on the SNES (in the cases of Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Super Mario All-Stars and Tetris & Dr. Mario), I've played NES on the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Sega Dreamcast, Gameboy Advance, Gamecube (Zelda games on the Collector's disk), Xbox, PSP and the PC, but nothing beats the real system with the real controller. This forum is not a competition to see who is the most hardcore gamer on any given system - leave that in system wars. Anyway, for recommendations TC - you should check out: (Hudson's) Adventure Island Battletoads Blaster Master Bubble Bobble Castlevania (series) Contra, Super C Double Dragon (series) Duck Tales Ikari Warriors Kid Niki: Radical Ninja Kings of the Beach (one of my favorite sports games) Mega Man - you should probably start with the first 1 or 2 and work your way through the series Mike Tyson's Punch-Out Ninja Gaiden (all 3) Rad Racer, Rad Racer II Top Gun (can be fun if you can deal with a good challenge) TMNT (series) Track & Field II (one of my other favorite sports games) Super Mario Bros (series) Legend of Zelda, Zelda II Some of them have already been mentioned - there's a reason for that :)

If you have the light gun, get Duck Hunt and Gunshoe. The second's a little less known, but it's well worth the effort digging up.

If you want to play games with other people get:

Tecmo Super Bowl

and

Little League Baseball: Championship Series

Both great multi-player sports games.
