NES Games No One Thinks Of? Recommend HERE!

Aside from the following... which games did you enjoy? I'm looking personally for more obscure games. I rented a lot way back when, but I guess I'm getting old and can't remember. Like today I saw Little Nemo the Dreamcatcher and I had this huge sense of deja vu. So my recommendations are

Little Nemo DreamCatcher

Mickey Mousecepades

Do Not List The Following (as they are well known titles):

TMNT 1-3

Zelda 1 or 2

Mario 1-3

Dr. Mario

Tetris

NO SPORTS GAMES

MegaMan 1-6

Batman

StarTropics

Zoda's Revenge

The Guardian Legend

Ok try these:

A Boy and His Blob, Adventure Island series, Adventures of Lolo series, Amagon, Bad Dudes, The Battle of Olympus, Bionic Commando, Blades of Steel (I know you said no sports.... but you gotta have this one), Crystalis, Dragon Fighter, Dungeon Magic, Exodus, Faxanadu, Goal! (and this one... lol), Golgo 13, Gotcha!, Jackal, Kabuki Quantum Fighter, Karnov, The Lone Ranger, Low G Man, Mighty BombJack, Monster in My Pocket, P.O.W., Star Tropics, Super Dodge Ball, T & C Surf Designs, Trojan, Werewolf, Willow, Yo! Noid, Zodas Revenge.

Most of these are obscure enough, and great games as well. Not to many people probably still remember any of these games. I went through my personal list of over 350 NES games, and hand selected these, just for this thread! :) I hope you get some fun out of these titles, seeing as though they are the best games nobody remembers!

There's a pretty good game, which I hardly ever heard of.

A platformer, which kind of reminded me of a mixture between contra and ninja gaiden.

If I recall properly it's title's Shadow Ninja or Shadow of Ninja, probably it was known in other regions, but here it was one of the rarest.

Shatter hand!!

That guy was just too epic.

Wizards & Warriors.

I recommend:

• Powerblade
• Journey to Silius
• Solar Jetman
• Cobra Triangle
• RC Pro Am
• Magic of Scheherazade
• Little Ninja Brothers

River City Ransom, Superspike V'Ball, GI Joe. All really good, but underrated games.

And technically Superspike V'Ball is a sports game, but trust me its worth a try. I dont like sports games much myself.

I recommend:

• Powerblade
• Journey to Silius
• Solar Jetman
• Cobra Triangle
• RC Pro Am
• Magic of Scheherazade
• Little Ninja Brothers

slingshot_ylo

awesome im not the only one who remembers powerblade

i hate to say it but ducktales (yes the disney/capcom game) was really fun and even rescue rangers was pretty fun too.

batman return of the joker has probably the best nes graphics out there and was pretty fun, though not too difficult.

Yeah, T&C Surf Design's skateboarding is actually what I meant, it is actually quite fun. Now, the surfing on the other hand... well, I don't think anybody understaood that 20 years ago or now... LOL

I forgot to mention (these are off the top of my head, as most enjoyable, without looking at my list)

Journey to Silius, Solar Jetman, Battletoads, Dragon Warrior series, Ultima series, Blaster Master, Cabal, Snakes revenge, Guerilla War, Ikari Warriors series, Contra, Super C.....

ok, I think I gave you a good list to shoot for.

Dragon's Lair
Duck Tales
Ikari Warriors II Victory Road
Karnov
Kid Niki: Radical Ninja
Top Gun

I saw a few that I was going to mention get mentioned already. I would advise taking note of games that get multiple mentions and checking them out. The obscure games that I thought were great (off the top of my head):

Gunsmoke
Defenders of the Crown
Blaster Master
The Guardian Legend
Kid Icarus
Bionic Commando
Wizards & Warriors

And in keeping with the theme of suggesting really good sports games for someone who specified no sports games:

Baseball Stars :P

(Edit: I know how to spell I promise...)

If you like point and click adventure games, Shadowgate, Deja Vu, Uninvited and Maniac Mansion are all really good.

Lifeforce, Rush'n'Attack, Kung Fu, Rygar, Kirby, Bubble Bobble, and the TMNT series are games I should have mentioned as well! Good list man.

Guardian Legend. It was an awesome hybrid of adventure and shooter, and no one ever seems to know it when I mention it. It was really fun, and pretty original for the time.

Code Name Viper

Ballon Fight

Elevator Action

Captain Skyhawk

Air Fortress

Rescue Embassy Mission

North & South

Super C

METAL GEAR 1 AND 2

balloon fight, urban champion

Destiny of an Emperor- good rpg featuring the legends of the Romance of theThree Kingdoms

Swords & Serpents- closest you could get to a multiplayer rpg. It featured a party of four characters that could be controlled by 1, 2, 3, or 4 people (with the Four Score). You even picked the classes of the characters in the party. I remember mapping every level on graph paper so we could go through the early levels faster when we continued.

Surprised Magic (or legend) of Schezerade and Little Ninja Boy did not come up here. Oh yeah, and Arkista's Ring, and the RPG Faria. HockeyGuyJason

AH! Arkista's Ring. I've been looking for this game for 2 years until I gave up. Could only ever find a few copies on eBay. Never seen the actual cart. REALLY good game. Think Zelda meets Gauntlet.

startropics

arkista's ring

bucky o hare

star soldier

armed dragon fantasy villigust

Crash N' The Boys Street Challenge!! Who doesn't love a game with Kunio in it?! :D

Balloon Fight. One of my favorite games of all-time, not just on the NES.

here are all the obscure games that you could think of

If you dont mind the blatant Native American stereotypes, Whomp Em is pretty good.

RossRichard

Ha! That's one you don't hear a whole lot about! And yes, it is pretty good. It's game play is kind of like Mega Man: Pick the stages in the order you want to complete them and get a weapon from the boss to use in other levels.
