I'm getting the old systems that I had as a kid back for Christmas, and I'm in the retro gaming mood. I thought it would be good to compose a list of VN's favorite retro nintendo games.

If everyone submits a list of their 5 or so favorites, I will try to compile the list and keep up with it in this post. I'll wait until a few people chime in before I make the initial list.

I'm not trying to compile a "best of" list, so just submit your favorites that you remember playing.

1. Super Mario World (8)
2. Super Mario Kart (8)
3. Donkey Kong Country (5)
4. Star Fox (5)
5. Chrono Trigger (4)
6. Earthbound (3)
7. Final Fantasy III (3)
8. Super Metroid (3)
9. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (3)
10. Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball (2)
11. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (2)
12. Paper Boy (2)
13. Super Castlevania IV (2)
14. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time (2)
15. Mega Man X (2)
16. Top Gear 2 (1)
17. Kirby Super Star (1)
18. Kirby's Dream Course (1)
19. Zombies Ate My Neighbors (1)
20. Super Bomberman 2 (1)
21. Harvest Moon (1)
22. Mortal Kombat II (1)
23. Killer Instincts (1)
24. F-Zero (1)
25. Alladin (1)




Honorable Mention:

NCAA Basketball (1)

These are the games I played heavily as a kid that I can remember off the top of my head.

If this thread actually gets somewhere, I may do a NES one, too.

Yes, I will definitely add Mario Kart to my list. I think it would help me if people could bold any game titles they want to add a vote for. I'll go back and do that to my other post.

I'm not sure there are enough people that post in the gaming forum for us to even get a list of 25 submission together, lol. :sad:

IGN did a top 100. I read through the top 50 and was just getting to some of my favorites. There are way more than 25 great SNES games, IMO.

I'm having trouble NOT naming 25 myself :)

I want to add Super Bomberman 2 and Harvest Moon to my list... Well eff it. I'm adding them, so I'm almost up to 10 submission :) Don't want to add any more games than that.

This might just be a "Thrasher865 and nbakerld top 25 SNES games" list.

Haven't established a tie-breaker, yet..... There will be a lot of ties.

Volwark, I just added a vote for each of your top 10, if that's alright.
