I might come back and rank these, but at least I made a list:

Metroid
Legend of Zelda
Mega Man 2
Bionic Commando
Blaster Master
Super Mario Bros
Ducktales
Contra
Ghosts and Goblins
Zelda 2



In no particular order:

1. Super Mario Bros
1. Super Mario Bros 3
1. Tetris
1. Nintendo World Cup
1. Mega Man 4
1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2
1. Duck Tales
1. Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers
1. Shadow of the Ninja

All of these games defined my early childhood. Me and my brothers used to play these games on our NES and each and every one of these games was perfect back then. Those were the times!

Later on I discovered all these other classics like Castlevania 1-3, Double Dragon, Metroid, Super Mario Bros 2, Bomberman, Dr. Mario, Excitebike, The Legend of Zelda 1+2, Mega Man 1-3 and 5-6, Darkwing Duck, Contra, Punch-Out, Final Fantasy 1-3, Dragon Warrior, Startropics, Gradius, Kid Icarus, Journey to Silius, Blaster Master, Kirby's Adventure, Metal Gear, Ninja Gaiden, Rygar, Ice Climber, Clu Clu Land, and so, so many others.



Mega Man 2
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Contra
RC Pro Am
Ice Hockey
Blaster Master
Castlevania
Bases Loaded
Terms Super Bowl
Ninja Gaiden

I guess it's top to bottom, 1-10. I don't like trying to rank things. There are other games that could be on this list. Mega Man 2 is the boss though. Also, I used to like sports games. Not anymore! 🦄🦄🦄🦄

I thought I'd do a series of posts asking everybody to list their top ten games per system, since I haven't really seen that around these parts. I was thinking we'd do one thread per system and discuss our favorites.

Post your top five or top ten Nintendo Entertainment System games here. If you want, you can also say a few words about why the games you picked are your favorites.

Addendum: Would you be interested in an overall ranking of favorite games similar to how other top 5/10 lists are done on this site, where your top game gets ten points, second game gets 9 points, and so on?

I just noticed this addendum.  I think it would be nice to have a ranking on a per system basis.  For example compare only NES games to other NES games.  This might be a lot of work though.  Just stating my preference since you asked.
