When I bought my NES back in '87 I had only four games to play until Christmas. I pretty much bought the console for Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda but the other two I chose at the time were Ghosts 'n Goblins (because I liked the arcade) and Ice Climber (don't know why as I had never heard of it before, but whatever).
It goes without saying that Mario and Zelda took up the vast majority of my play time but I actually played (and enjoyed) the NES version of Ghosts 'n Goblins more than Ice Climber. That speaks volumes about Ice Climbers' quality.

Let me expand on that.
As a kid, the concept of there being bad video games doesn't really exist at first. You just play everything you can get your hands on. However, at some point you begin to learn that there are indeed bad video games. Ice Climbers is among those games that taught children this important lesson.

Indeed, although for me that realization that bad games exist came years before Ice Climber on my NES since I already had extensive time playing a lot of Atari 2600 games.
