Well basiclly i will recomend old games for those of you whom have not yet played any.  Alright first and foremost for the nes i would recomend Zelda and Metroid both great games. For the snes i recomend Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars and Final Fantasy i think these two are my faivorite games ever. PS I picked famous games so that it would be easy for newcomers to find them on ebay or what not but as time passes ill suggest more and make sure you tell me what you think.

i think the original metroid on NES is...no good at all...junk.

SNES...you left out Super Mario World? Star Fox?

How could you have left out the 2 greatest Nintendo platformers?  Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.

Okay I first have to mention something that you all have to keep in mind when you play old school games, most can't be compared to todays games and only those who played them at the time can make such judgements without being biased.  As for metroid on the nes was frekin revolutionary it was like the sweetest of graphics or so most people think.  Star fox slipped my mind to be honnest definatley one of the best on the system anyway every week ill suggest new games so if i miss some now ill get to them. As for all the mario games i am not concidering them as old school games since you could have gotten them on the GBA not too long ago and for zelda well simply put evryone knows they kick ass my point behind this tread is to talk about lower profile games which i have not done so much yet, but i simply love these games too much.  In the case of Final Fantasy please some of the new versions are'nt as fun as the first trilogy on SNES, i still remember some of the most amazing times I've spent playing games were final fantasy games (Trully the best of all the games i suggested with the exception of mario rpg).  Lets try and hold on for n64 games at least untill we do a few good old games.

i completely disagree with omitting games simply because you can get them for the GBA...but this is your thing, do what you want. i don't think most people here are making comments based on current gen games.

just my .02

I know ur right dude, but the point im trying to make is that these are very famous classics whom i think are pretty obvious when u name classics and i want to name classics that are less famous but just as good. Hopefully you will try one and like it so much you would go out and buy it for yourself.

No doubt about it, Donkey Kong series 1-3 are awesome. Super RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is top on SNES. Lets not forget LOZ: Lttp and Kirby series

I played it once or twice on the N64 and I thought it wasn't bad, I'd definitely try it if it came out on Wii...
