What was/is your favorite Nintendo game ever?

[Doug]

For those of us that grew up in the '80s it seemed like pretty much everybody had a Nintendo NES system, but what was your favorite game? My first instinct would be to say Super Mario Bros since that was the first game I ever played and it got me hooked, but I'm going to have to go with Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I still play it regularly to this day. Talk about replay value!!

Love Mike Tyson's Punchout! What a killer game. I will still play Contra once and a while too! The original gold Zelda game is also a classic. That 8 bit Nintendo was perfect growing up.

stealth fighter was pretty good. I also had a game where you had to attach pipes before the fluid ran through. Crossovers were more points, as were some special bits. I can't recall the name.

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
