Metal gear was the greatest thing ever created in 1987. I spent so much time playing that game.

Bard's Tale, Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, Final Fantasy, Kid Icarus, Zelda, Crystalis, Dragon Quest.

I hated sports games up until the N64/Playstation era.

Metroid - I could never believe how fricking awesome this game was. Even in 1987 I marveled at the idea that I was lucky enough to have it.

Zelda - perfection

Kid Icarus - obsession

Excitebike - without a doubt, I'm the single greatest player of all time

Super Mario Bros. - goes without saying.

Tetris - the NES version of Tetris is still the best they ever had

Tecmo Bowl - Scottie Norwood...FTW!


thats a really good list of games. all were

I'll add:

River City Ransom
Wizards and Warriors
LifeForce
Mappy Land

Ninja Gaiden is the only answer, but damn that game was too hard.

I thought StarTropics was an SNES game for some reason. It was just a Zelda knock-off to me with poorer maneuverability and a dumber weapon. I also thought it was harder than Zelda.

ETA: The invisible ink thing in the game packaging was pretty cool, though.

I've logged more hours on Guerilla War than any game in history.

OK, I literally was the best player in the world. On the hardest setting I could beat the computer like 300 - 0. I think I once made 1000 3 pointers in a row.

Do they make one that just has games preloaded? Seems odd you have to actually have the cartridges.
