Clues
12: The second best NES game of all time and a part of one of the most popular series ever made. Was considered by many to be the best game in the entire large series' catalog but a more recent entry has won over many of those people.
11. The 3rd entry in a series by my favorite game dev company and person. Many consider him to be the most prolific programmer in gaming history and my top 11 features 4 of his games. It featured unique launchpads that added a new element to gameplay and would launch you sometimes great distances to a new platform. Is still a quite popular game today. While the first 2 games were also amazing and well received by critics and fans, the 4th entry was widely considered the weakset of the series. As with the first 2 games, this game's engine went on to be utilized in many other successful games.
