The Top 10 NES Games of all Time

It's pretty hard coming up with the 10 best NES games of all time, but here is mine:

10) Duck Hunt - No other shooting NES game comes close to this classic. I'm sure many NES systems were sold just because it came with this game.

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.

8) Metroid - Completely innovative. Started a monster franchise. It may not be the best of the series, but where would it be without it?

7) Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - I know this isn't a popular one for the Zelda fans. It?s hard game to get into. But once you do you?re absolutely hooked.

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 - Not only the greatest sports game for the NES, you could make an argument that it's the greatest sports game in video game history. I'll take this over Madden any day.

4) Contra - The incredible 30 player code that everybody memorized. It was impossible to beat it without it. It was also an incredible co-op game.

3) Super Mario Bros - What hasn't been said about this game? The game might have single handedly saved the home video game console. After Atari bombed, Nintendo needed something like this.

2) The Legend of Zelda - More addictive than ice cream. I must have spent all of my fourth grade year trying to beat the game. Arguably the most influential game of all time.

1) Super Mario Bros. 3 - The game was the perfect lead in to the new generation consoles and showed where video gaming was going.
