I started gaming during the 2600 era, and I had an Atari 8-bit computer at home which familiarized me with CRPG and strategy games and companies like Electronic Arts, but the NES really cemented my love of gaming. Zelda, in particular, captured my imagination. For art class in fourth game, I drew scenes from Zelda. When my teacher saw them, she told me her husband had gotten a NES and was hung up on Zelda. So I spent a lot of the remainder of the year sending maps of the dungeons home with my teacher. A lot of my friends at school were also playing Zelda, and that was what Nintendo had hoped for, was that people would share hints on Zelda with their friends.
Other honorable mentions: Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Desert Commander, Castlevania, TMNT 2, Super Mario Bros 2, Ghosts 'n' Goblins, Balloon Fight, Faxanadu, Legacy of the Wizard
