What was/is your favorite Nintendo game ever?
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...

Great topic! Even though I've started my third decade in this life, I still retain my fondness for Nintendo.
NES: Super Mario Bros. 3 Gameboy: Tetris Super NES: Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past Nintendo 64: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Nintendo Gamecube: Super Mario Sunshine Nintendo DS: Mario Kart DS Nintendo Wii: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Nintendo 3DS: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D |

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 |

Best NES game ever...
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.

Something that hasn't been mentioned, Thunder and lightning. A pong knockoff. Totally addictive.
I'd second everybody who mentioned Punch Out and Tecmo Bowl. You can have Oakland, I was deadly with Da Bears. |

double dragon and bayou billy were two NES games I owned that I've never beaten. I got to the last level in DD, but beating those shirtless ninja keanu reeves lookalikes and those shirtless big fat asses who headbutt you was ridiculous.
and bayou billy required a lot of patience - especially when you had to fight those stupid crocodiles in the swamp. i guarantee you a lot of kids today wouldnt be able to handle these games because they require rote rehearsal and extreme amount of patience. best games in nintendo - marble madness, super mario 3 or star tropics. and i never got into sega - nintendo brand loyal.

Walter Payton and was the other running back Anderson?? LT was unstoppable on defense, you couldnt kick an extra pt or field goal against the giants because of LT. Great game

That code even made it into this movie trailer at the end even though the guy messes it up by saying "Select, Select, A, B, Left, Right". Still funny though!

I actually thought the first Contra game was harder. I can actually beat Super C from start to finish without even getting hit, but I guess it helps to have 20+ years of practice. I have to agree with the people that brought up Double Dragon too. I probably play it as much as any of the games I have other than Mike Tyson's Punch Out.

The game that came with the system - Super Mario. Took me about a week or so to beat the game the first time and I played it so often that I started going for fastest time to beat the game..then highest score possible..and then lowest score possible.
My wife's favorite game was Solomon's Key...I was at a garage sale and found one for her...brought it home and it wrecked my NES system..hasn't worked since I plugged that game in.

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. |

Baseball Stars
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.

Gunsmoke, you should check it out...Jackal, Mario 2, Dodgeball, Excitebike, Double Dragon II, Superspike V-Ball, RC Pro-Am, Mega Mans, I could go on and on...

I already have most of those. I have more NES games than I do baseball cards, plus they are way cheaper!

Maybe I need to pick that up for my NES collection. I just had the plain old Nintendo Baseball game as a kid so I never even played Baseball Stars.

Not applicable to thread, but trying to remember the game I used to play, in the late 80s I think, where you went through a castle and proceded to the next screen, using quick moves, or you would fall off into fire. Was set up alongside my favorite Galaga.

Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Metroid Mega Man For 1 player Baseball Stars For Vs. RBI I still bust mine out a couple of times per year. I brought it down for about 2 months to see if my Boys were ready for the Wii. Whenever one of my college roomates comes around we play a series of RBI. |

Baseball stars all the way. My father still has the NES hooked up and we still play with our old teams from 20 plus years ago whenever I am home for a visit.

Here's a vote for "Blades of Steel". The fights in that game were great.
