Dragon Warrior games were all I cared about. Though Destiny of the Emperor was pretty good, too. Same format, though.

I quoth Zylka again.. only cool kids played bubble bobble and things havent changed. Cool people all play bubble bobble to this day, when their doors are closed and you cant see them. So call your local dominos or pizza hut ir whatever... your gonna be up all day shooting bubbles from your mouth and popping it with your dino @ss. Its kinda like masturbation. You know it happens everywhere but you dont hear about it

lol, i remember my first game. I had no concept of the city radius. I built like 6 cities directly adjacent to each other in a big solid polygon, in order to make some sort of 'super' city... unfortunately at the time I had no idea why my cities, especially the central ones sucked do bad. I just figured that it was the depressing ghetto 'inner city' of my megalopolis.

Legend of Zelda, easily. A true classic. Although Dragon Warrior IV was excellent, and the Mario games are of course invaluable as well.

Wow -- this brings back the good old days. Reminds me that I'm at the old age of 25.

My favorite Nintendo games, hands down:

Super Mario Brothers 3 -- definitely
I loved the Tanooki Suit and the Frog Suit.

Contra -- yes, this heart-bleeding liberal loved some violent games.

Zelda -- great game

Final Fantasy -- the first one in the series that would popularize role playing games.

Bubble Bobble -- a fun game

Super Mario Bros 2 was based on Doki Doki Panic, which was changed from the original Mario 2 (aka the lost levels) because they thought it was too difficult for the ignorant milk-drinking westerners.

I liked all the Mario series. Bubble Bopple was great too, but I think the contenders for best game ever are Super Mario Bros 3, and Metroid.

I love Metroid. Every single time it's come out with a new game, the game has been top notch, and Metroid Prime is no exception.

LONG LIVE MOTHER BRAIN!

SMB2 was released as it was in North America because Nintendo thought the real SMB2 was too similar to the original.

Wizards & Warriors! No save, no password, but infinite continues, so if you wanted to finish the game you just had to lower your head and smash straight through. I don't exactly remember how long it took me to finally beat it, but you could fry an egg on the AC adapter when I was done.

So many, yep, Boris picked my fav, Destiny of an emperor, followed closely by the Dragon warrior series.

Metal gear I and II were great, but I loved the first, it was so cool.

Pirates should be up there, as well as the Koei games like Uncharted waters and the Romance of the three kingdom series.

I also was into a little known game called Shingen the Ruler.

For sports, you can't beat Tecmo bowl.

For shooters, Contra and Jackel.

I'll go with Castlevania III, Rygar, and Super Dodge Ball. Some of those early 8-bit RPGs were okay but the ones released on the computer always had 'em beat.

Without a doubt Contra. I remember playing that game for hours on end. It had great action and was hard enough to be challenging without being a pain in the ass.

I would say my second favorite game was Battletoads.
