I refered to the games by their PAL titles just because that's the versions I have/will be playing but I'm aware of what they're called originally. I don't mind the PAL versions for some of these games and in a few cases I prefer them. Particularly I just can't play the first NR because I'm used to Shadow Warriors which has an altered jump arc. It's fairly negligable for a standard playthrough but if you look at a speed run you'll see jumps that can't be made in NR. But the point is, it feels really different when you've played Shadow Warriors as much as I have. NGIII will be the first thing I get once I get a US NES. ;)

Has anyone mentioned Bio Miracle Bokette Upa? That's a pretty fun game.

oh wow i missed this bit about h(i)nk, i was always wondering what was with those games.

rough world jajaja

choujin sentai jetman is alright if you play it on very hard

-the famicom port of xevious because it's more playable than the arcade version
-tetsuwan atom because it's so ????????????????
-argus because argus is awesome even though you should probably just play the arcade version
-replicart because your ears deserve it :3
-falsion because it's surprisingly cool
-tetris 2 + bombliss because i like it better than the super version
-more ports: galaxian, galaga, urusei yatsura (momoko 120%)

i would also like to recommend the second g.i. joe (us only) once again, which as you can see i am a fan of

Ok, so right now I am going through an NES kick. Never really gave the platform much of a chance before but I am finding that there are a bunch of great games. This thread has been a big help but I'm also interested in stuff that made it to the west. I am familiar with most of the best-known games. A few games I discovered recently and really enjoyed: Fire & Ice, Kick Master, Over Horizon, GI Joe, Gumshoe, Bucky O Hare, Felix the Cat, Hi no Tori, Cosmo Police Galivan, Conquest of the Crystal Palace, Gimmick, Little Samson, Batman etc. etc. List as many lesser-known NES/Famicom games as you can that are good that I have not played yet. The winner gets a mystery prize. gogogo

Arumana no Kiseki is better than that coin-op Konami game with similar mechanics.
