1987
Easily the worst game I own on the NES. Was part of the NES package I picked up, but I have no plans on playing this at all.
1989
It's classic Tetris...nothing else needs to be said.

This game is the reason I became an Oakland Raiders fan. Bo Jackson is the one and only video game cheat code. This was the best football game I ever played until I played Madden in the PS2 era.
1988
Played this game briefly in my childhood with my cousin. Vastly different from the other 2 Mario games on the NES (and if you read up on the history of this game, you will see why that is). Was never a fan.

I'm not a huge Mario fan, but I would argue that this is the best Mario has to offer on the NES. Vastly improved from the first 2 games - I should try to beat this game some day..
1985
Everyone's favorite plumber in his first adventure on the NES. This game didn't age well though, and even as a kid, I wasn't a huge fan of the controls. Mario controls like he's on ice throughout the game, which leads to so many unnecessary deaths and moments of frustration.
Shitty game that I got for free. Only reason I picked it up was because I recognized it from the AVGN's review.
My favorite game on the NES. Thinking back on it, this was most likely my favorite game of all time, until the eventual release of Final Fantasy VII on the PS1. A puzzle game hidden under the guise of a boxing game. So many great fighters, each with their own colorful and quirky personalities, that requires much experimentation, especially later on, when attempting to tackle the much more powerful foes in the later circuits. Little Mac is the Rocky of video games (and that music is Rocky-esque too).
Once I discovered the joys of emulation in my late teen years, I finally conquered one of the toughest boss fights in all of gaming: Iron Mike Tyson!

By far, my favorite of the Mega Man games. It is such an incredible improvement over the first title. Contains some of the best 8-bit music ever. Every stage is a banger.
1987
The beginning of the legend of the Blue Bomber. A tough platformer that shows its age. But without this game, it wouldn't have given way to its masterpiece sequel.
1986
Started the whole Zelda craze...I never really got into it though. Decent game but confusing as all hell. Poor translation, which was a common thing back then, and a lack of direction makes it where a guide is a requirement.
1988
Awesome game that actually could be completed cooperatively with two people. A classic NES gem. Beat the game using the "Konami code" and having 30 lives.
Good game with some great music. Game is pretty damn tough though.
