Hmmm...

I'd have said the following:

Mario 3 (yes already named I see)

Salamander (was it Light Force or Life Force in front of it?) - Either way was a classic side-scrolling shooter... see also: Gradius I -> III

Probotector (Aka Contra as already named)

Metroid (Still amazing to this day)

Mike Tyson's Punch Out (I still love this as well

)

Gauntlet (Quite fun in single player but was awesome in 4-player mode... think it was 4 player on the NES with the 4 Score - either that or the sequel, Gauntlet II - absolutely shiteloads of hours of play time here)

Snake, Rattle & Roll (Rare do it again, I thought this game was great - however I didn't think much to the MegaDrive/Genesis version).

Rygar (Absolutely amazing side-scolling platformer - does NOT work on NesterDC 7.x -

however the arcade version works on Reaper2k2's single-game MAME of Rygar

)

Castlevania I -> III (Need I say more???)

Megaman/Rockman I -> VI (Was there 6 or seven megaman's on the NES? Either way check any of them out, I preferred the 4th one the best though...)

Zelda & Zelda II (Can't remember their full names, I know one of 'em is "The Adventures Of Link" - I think! Were both cracking NES games)

I'll edit as I think of more...

here's some suggestions to keep you going tho

There was 6 megamans on the NES. Mega Man 7 was put on the SNES and Mega Man 8 was on the Playstation 1 and Saturn (Saturn version being best).

There is this adventure game called Faxanudu (not sure of spelling). It was pretty fun for its time, although last time I played it I found it to be pretty difficult.

Faxanadu was a good game thanks for reminding me of that Veggita

Apologies -Azathoth- I understand (as I'm sure many people do), that romz are considered warez. However, if the person who created this topic re-worded it to make it the NES games discussion (such as - "What are peoples favourite classic NES games?") rather than "What ROMs should I put in Nester" would it not pertain to classic game discussion?

Well actually Megaman 8 was released on SNES too. In fact, Megaman X was released on SNES!

Definitely. One of the finest arcade games ever.

And romz are warez, but for the NES, no one really cares anymore.

When you say Zelda 2, is that the side scroller?
