Which ROMs should i get on my NES emu?

[Corpse Maker]

i just got the emulation thing to work yesterday and have a good number of SNES games that i remember playing. i also got the NES emulator. however, the NES was a little before my time (i was born in '90) and i dont really know which games to put on it besides mario bros. any suggestions?

Not asking for links, just asking which games.

I was a Commodore 64 guy when the NES came out, but I have since discovered many fun games that I missed back in the day. My favorites are:

Castlevania - classic platformer
Macross - fantastic, albeit simple, shooter
Super Mario Bros. - you must experience the original
Final Fantasy I - again, the original must be experienced
Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari - much better than River City Ransom
Mickey's Mousecapades - not really a platformer, but lots of fun
Ninja Gaiden - more great classic platforming
Fisher Price Firehouse Rescue - try to keep from smiling over this one

And, finally, my very favorite game for the NES:

Shatterhand - fantastic run and fight, more action than Double Dragon

Also, be sure to check out Tokkyuu Shirei - Solbrain, the original Japanese version of Shatterhand. Same game, very different opening and graphics.

NO LINKS TO ROM SITES.

Kibbles, this is a warning. Lern from your mistakes. :)

[Enable]

Also Golden Sun for the GBA, great game but runs slow

[Phillyzero]

Kirby's adventure is all you need ;)

[rabidchild]

Some of the best games were on the Famicom. (Japanese NES)
Try Getsufuu Maden by Konami. It is a lot like Zelda II Adventure of Link.
Moon Crystal and Summer Carnival '92 - Recca are both fun Famicom games.

Some great, but frequently overlooked NES games:

Star Soldier
Metal Storm
Strider
Solstice
The Magic of Scheherazade
Kid Icarus
Gauntlet
Bionic Commando
Legacy of the Wizard
Solar Jetman
Monopoly

[ipfreely]

Little Samson
Kung Fu
Monster in my Pocket
GI Joe

Earthbound for Snes and Earthbound Zero(Mother 1) are two great underrated, seldom heard of Rpgs you should definatly find if you are into that sort of thing.

Earthbound Zero is especially great because it was never actually released in the US but was completely translated and had some fully completed review copies/gold copies made. Someone bought one on Ebay for a bunch of money just to rom Dump it and bring it to the masses.

For you Koei needs there is

Nobunaga's Ambition
Romance of the three kingdoms 2

and RPG
Destiny of an Emperor

Destiny of an Emperor is not made by KOEI, it was made by Capcom... I also believe there is a part 2 to this, but it hasn't been translated yet. (That I know.)

[janaak]

Rpgs...
Dragon Warrior (I-IV)
Ultima: Exodus
Ultima IV

I'll come back to edit/add to this... My cousin's gonna take me to play CS:Source at a LAN shop. Late

[The Don Killuminati]

I thought I posted is this thread already. o_O

In any case: DRAGON WARRIOR I-IV

[hefehefe2000]

My all time favorte NES games , Solstice ,All of the Megaman games, Gyrus , Battle of olympus , all of the Ninja Gaidens and Strider .
Peace , hefehefe2000 .

[Darklighterx]

...try out Holy Diver!
Also Snake Rattle & Roll was a good platformer in 3/4 perspective. Already have Castlevania 3? Well then get Akumajou Densetsu, the translated Jap version of Castlevania 3, but with better music!

The Contras are good run n gun shooters, but try and get the translated version of it. I think both Gryzor and Contra E are it. They used the more superior sound chip just like Akumajou Densetsu 3 and also had more animation and cutscenes not seen in the US versions. :dance:

ya know, I hate rpg's (really, I do... I only really like Mario Supersaga, and Pokemon), but earthbound is pretty fun... I've only played it for about 45 mins. but it's looking really good... but I seggest the SNES one... the NES one is kinda gay...

[Jaymac]

punch out its so old, and it has a really simple concept but its good

Mike Tyson punch out is the BEST!!!!!

Ack you totaly caught my snafu thanks...

If u can find it, Super Mario. And Exite-A-Bike

I think you mean Excite Bike.. that might be why it's hard for you to find. :P

Super Mario Bros. 1-3, Battletoads, Battletoads & Double Dragon, Castlevania. Jeopardy (25th anniversary edition) is pretty good too if you want a quiz-game on the go.

[The_Bionic_Jawa]

try McKids. Sucky idea, decent Mario ripoff.
