The Top 10 NES Games of all Time

It's definitely not easy coming up with the 10 best NES games, but here is my best effort:

10) Duck Hunt - By far, it was the best shooting for the NES> It was the reason to have the Nintendo Zapper.

9) Ice Climber - It's a cult classic. I know it's not the most advanced gameplay ever concocted but it's still a blast to play, even to this day.

Metroid - A truly one of a kind a game. It started the monster series that we all enjoy today on the Nintendo Wii.

7) Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - This may be a bit controversial. I know the game is not loved by many Zelda fans. But if you give it a chance, you can see tha it's a real gem.

6) Castlevania - It's kind of a toss up to pick which Castlevania was the best. It may not be an easy decision but there is no doubt the original is a classic.

5) Tecmo Bowl - The first game to introduce the real NFl players. This was nothing short of mind blowing in its day. To be able to play as Walter Payton or Jerry Rice was amazing. We take it for granted now, but this is what started it all.

4) Contra - The ultimate code. We all now it by heart and it was the best co-op game of the 1980s. It never got old and still holds up really well today.

3) Super Mario Bros - Where would the video game world be without this powerhouse? I remember how amazing it was when the character moved, the screen followed. You can't event think of the NES without this game.

2) The Legend of Zelda - It influenced countless other games. It was the first game to have its own battery backup. No more passwords to write down. You felt like you were actually inside the game.

1) Super Mario Bros. 3 - Incredible and innovative gameplay. You could tell where the future of gaming was headed after playing this game.
