Previous GRecommends threads


And so GRecommends comes to a close with the place it all began (for me at least), with the Nintendo Entertainment System.

If you need a reminder, here's a list of NES games for you to refresh your memory.

Just list your top 10 below – if you can (each counts for one vote, so ranking them isn't important).

Voting is open for a month, and will close on 29 June.

Look forward to seeing your nominations :toot:

I've never really played NES games (I was totes Sega!) and the few minutes that I have were through emulated versions on more recent systems. I'll have to pass on the voting this time around, Celer, but I'm still keen to see what other GRcadians vote for :-).

I reckon you should do one for game soundtracks / scores. It'd be very unpredictable, and interesting to see what people end up voting for.

Whether this is the last one or not, though, Celer, you have our gratitude for all the work you've put into these threads. :mrgreen: Thank you!

Never owned a NES but my cousin and a bunch of friends did back in the day so I played a fair amount.

I'll need to do a bit of research before I'll be ready to compile a list - the NES is one of those consoles where there are a few games that I know I really enjoyed but as I never owned the games I didn't really pay much attention to what they were called!

What was the football game on the NES where you could kick the ball so hard it would knock people over? (or am I imagining that!? :slol: )

Could it be Nintendo World Cup? On the Game Boy version players could be knocked out for the entire game.

Good shout - I think that's it! That's going to make my list for pure nostalgia, I have no clue as to whether or not it was actually a good game any more! :lol:

I never had an NES (Sega crew represent!) so all of these have been played years after release via emulation or GBA NES classics, actually a couple were played via Animal Crossing.

  • Donkey Kong
  • Metroid
  • Excitebike
  • Super Mario Bros
  • Super Mario Bros 3
  • The Legend of Zelda
  • Balloon Fight


That's every single NES game I've ever played.

This is actually pretty tough to narrow down, even speaking as someone who didn't grow up with the system. Quite a few I don't want to leave off the 10 D:

Part of me would have liked to include Rescue Rangers and Dark wing duck as I own and love them, but heck its just a machine that has so many games I like on it.
