I still play mine almost daily. I have it hooked up to a 50 inch Panasonic plasma screen and every time I go to play it I think how I would have loved to have that set up as a kid! The only bad thing is that the Zapper guns don't work on the new HDTVs so I can't play Duck Hunt anymore...

Mine was Galaga. Remember having to blow out the cartridges and keep resetting until the game came on? Ah the good ol days...

Galaga was my favorite arcade game. The NES version was had grainy graphics and messed up sound for some reason. As far as blowing on the cartridges goes, that basically meant your games were dirty. If you take a Q-Tip, dip it in Windex and scrub the contacts on the cartridge it should work fine. Another random fact is that I actually beat the world record score for Galaga, but it's like a Guinness record. If you don't have an official witness it doesn't count...

Punch out and Contra were good, but who didnt love Technobowl and the unstoppable Oakland Raiders. The Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen running back duo was unbeatable

I forgot about the Tecmo Bowl football! What a classic! It was a blast racking up unreal stats throughout a season. Whenever I play now, I automatically blow out the cartridges. Old habits die hard.

Three other games I really enjoyed: Double Dribble, Blades of Steel, and Baseball Stars

Best,

Andy

Double Dragon for the win.

Not sure why...but I spent more hours playing "Super C" and trying to beat that stupid game than any other.

Another vote for baseball stars!!! Great game...

Tecmo Super Bowl was the greatest football game ever. 8 plays, 4 run, 4 pass, can change them, change players
Raiders defense was ok, the LBs were not very good and the secondary (the players I liked to play D with the most) were ok.
But Bo Jackson was a weapon like no other.

By far my favorite nintendo game growing up was Baseball Stars. That game was incredibly ahead of its time - you could create custom players, and based on playing games earn money to improve the players in their skills. I recall a buddy and I would play nonstop with custom made all-star teams of the era.
