Forums - Nintendo - Our Top 100 NES games

Dragon Warrior IV should be in the top 10, Dragon Warrior III should be in the top 20 and Dragon Warrior II should be somewhere between 80 and 90.

You should also add somewhere in this list :

1943, Adventure Island II, Baseball Stars or Baseball Stars II, Battletoads, Clash at Demonhead, Dr. Mario, Duck Tales, Excitebike, Faxanadu, Ice Hockey, Journey to Silius, Karnov, The Adventures of Lolo, Metal Gear, Micro Machines, Paperboy, R.B.I. Baseball, R.C. Pro Am, Romance of the Three Kingdoms II, Rush'n Attack, Shadowgate, Snake's Revenge, StarTropics, StarTropics II : Zoda's Revenge, Tecmo Super Bowl, TETЯIS, Uncharted Waters, Wizards & Warriors II : Ironsword, Zanac


Kid Icarus should be higher on that list too.



Around the Network

Donkey Kong Junior Math doesnt have its place on that list.



If it were my list Maniac Mansion would be in the top 10, and I would not have Rescue of the Embassy on the list...I hated that game!! I would probably have Duck Hunt and Little Nemo in the top 30 as well, other than that it looks pretty good!



the point of this list is a starting point, didn't notice rescue the embassy mission appearing twice,
anyway everyone remember that the nes has a lot of good games and it will be hard to fit everyone's favorites on a top 100, anyway

suggested removals:
rescue the embassy mission
donkey kong jr math

additions
Adventure Island II, Baseball Stars or Baseball Stars II, Battletoads, Clash at Demonhead, Dr. Mario, Duck Tales, Excitebike, Faxanadu, Ice Hockey, Journey to Silius, Karnov, The Adventures of Lolo, Metal Gear, Micro Machines, Paperboy, R.B.I. Baseball, R.C. Pro Am, Romance of the Three Kingdoms II, Shadowgate, Snake's Revenge, StarTropics, StarTropics II : Zoda's Revenge, Tecmo Super Bowl, Uncharted Waters, Wizards & Warriors II : Ironsword, Zanac
dragon warrior 1,2,3
guerilla warfare
casino kid
gun.smoke
adventures of bayou billy
shatterhand
double dragon 2

movements
kirby, punchout, duck hunt, little nemo, maniac mansion

remember this is an opinion based list, in this case mine, nothing is permanent and the goal is to make a representative list of nes games, anyway, does anyone support making changes with any of the above games?



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

NOW A PUNISHER CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can start by replacing Rescue the Embassy Mission 9 (#30) by Faxanadu and Donkey Kong Jr. Math (#49) by Journey to Silius. This is my suggestion for the first step.



Around the Network

First of all, Castlevania III should be MUCH higher (especially above the original Castlevania).

Games like Megaman 4, Duck Tales 2, Batman and Duck Hunt also need to be moved higher.

You don't have any of the Dragon Warrior titles, which all 4 of them should be on the list, and near the top (especially III and IV).

Pinbot, International Track & Field, Off Road, Rush’n Attack, Donkey Kong Junior Math, Dick Tracey, Snake, Rattle n’ Roll, Mighty Bomb Jack, World Class Track meet, Q Bert, Qix, Solar Jetman, T&C surf Design, Totally Rad, Wrecking Crew and Xexyz don't even need to be on the list.

1942, Excitebike, Tecmo Super Bowl, R.C. Pro Am, The Guardian Legend, Gradius, Star Soldier, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, Duck Tales, Barker Bill's Trick Shooting, Phantom Fighter, Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout and River City Ransom all need to be added.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

Agreed with all except I think we should keep Rush'n Attack and Super Off Road (doesnt need to be high on the list).

And I won't put Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout among the top 100. But I'm Ok with all the rest.

alright, so you second some of these changes, anyoen have and specific movements,

so far it would seem adding a dragon warrior 3 and 4 have the most support, dropping rescue the embassy mission and dkjr math ahave the most

river city ransom also has a lot of support

any position suggestions for these 3? especially which dragon warrior is better 3 or 4

moving castlevania 3 up also has a lot of support,

frankly I think R.C. pro am is significantly inferior to its sequel, same with 1942 and neither really needs a place



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

NOW A PUNISHER CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dragon Warrior III and Dragon Warrior IV are both excellent, so it's difficult to say one is better than the other. But personnaly I think DW4 should be higher than DW3.

River City Ransom should definitly be part of the top 40.

Castlevania 3 should be in the top 25.

R.C. Pro AM is a classic (like Excitebike) and should be in the top 100 imo.
