Rofl Brandon do not think FF I is the best.

 Well, fair enough in an odd way.

Mine goes like this (Following screwattacks rules):

1) Super Mario 3
2) Legend of Zelda
3) Metroid
4) Contra
5) Ninja Guiden
6) Final Fantasy
7) MC Kids
8) Duck Hunt
9) Dr. Mario
10) Ninja Turtles 2 the Arcade Game

To put it another way.  I notice that most people, yourself included, list Super Mario 3, but don't list Super Mario 1.   Super Mario 1 is the reason a good percentage of people bought a NES.   It could be argued that it is the most influencial and important game ever made, but there is no love for it on the lists here.  That is how I feel about Zelda.  It is hard for me to put a game in the top 10 of anything when I'd rather be playing 3 of its sequels.  I feel the same way about Metroid, Final Fantasy, and Castlevania.  All of which are/were great games.

Well Screw Attack's rules were one game per franchise. I still play SMB1 way more than I play SMB3, but I think SMB3 has to top the list. If it wasn't one game per franchise, SMB1 would be a close 2nd on my list, knocking off Monster Party (noooooo!)

Come on what about Duck Hunt thats like the only game i can remember from that system.

 The rules (not made up by me) were only one game from a series. And we're talking just NES games here.

How about not posting the list so we can watch the movie and find them out. Good thing I looked away really quick!

1. Super Mario Bros 3
2. The Legend of Zelda
3. Power Pad and Track and Field
4. Turtles
5. Bubble Bobble
6. Blades of Steel
7. Punch Out
8. Excite Bike
9. Kung Fu
10. Duck Hunt

Although Tetris is my favorite game, I just think nothing comes close to the black and white gameboy version with the sound off :)

My step-brother and I tried to play through Final Fantasy on NES 4 years ago and the game was just too weak for me after having played several other FF games. 

There's something very pure about FF1, and of course, rolling your own party at the beginning of the game and being stuck with it through the whole thing is a profoundly interesting gameplay element that no other FF game has.

Though FF1 actually has an interesting story, it's not at all a story-driven RPG like the other FF games.  This one is almost 100% combat-driven.  Probably why it has that very pure feeling.
