Skipping some obvious ones like SMB/Tetris.

        Not anything worth apologizing for.

        This is your list. That I think some things may be missing is irrelevant, but it can be a conversation starter.

        That you have a duplicate means you can cram more of your favorites in, if you like.

        Which was your favorite?

          Definitely Balloon Fight. The control scheme is perfect. Two player coop. Simple but fun, and with the right challenge.

          I wish it had more variety in the level design.

          What are your NES favourites?

            My favorites were Ninja Turtles, Final Fantasy, Paperboy, Zelda, Rygar, Castlevania 3, or Kid Icarus. At least those ones got massive amounts of play time.

              Kid Icarus is a little too difficult for me, but I think I should try again and see if I can get better.

              I only played TMNT on SNES, perhaps I should try the NES one.

              I never tried Paperboy, is it good?

                I never said I was good at them. LOL. I enjoyed them all. For the time they came out, they were amazing to me.

                I think the part I liked about TMNT was that it had multiple play styles in one game, so it felt like more.

                Paperboy was a racing game with a timing mechanism. You ride a bike along a set course, dodging obstacles like the racing games of the time. However, you have to time throwing papers at or in mailboxes to get points to pass stages.

      For some reason Battletoads wasn’t popular/known in my region. For fighting games, we were into Double Dragon and Kunio Kun (River City).

    Was Nekketsu Kouha Kunio Kun released as “Renegade” in the US? That screenshot looks a lot like the second stage. The characters’ clothes look different from what I remember though.

      Yeah. I want to highlight some games that are under-appreciated. If I add SMB/Zelda/Metroid etc then there would be less room for less known games.

    Yeah, I agree. The NES was king back in the day.

    Before that, it was Atari before the crash.

    Then Sega joined the international market even though they were making systems in Japan.

    Have I played on an actual NES, though? Technically on Nintendo Switch Online, yes.

    Just not an actual system yet.

    Hopefully, I’ll decide to collect for that soon but I’m also interested in the Sega Master System.

    I mostly played Blades of Steel (an ice hockey game that turned into a fighting game every few seconds), TMNT and Top Gun. I think I landed on that goddamn carrier like 3 times combined, but it was still a blast! We also had a completely legal cartridge with 250 games on it, so I’m definitely forgetting something. I may need to get a CRT and try if my NES still works.
