If you think that's impressive, you should play the Adventure of Bayou Billy! It's THREE genres in one!

[racketboy]

I don't think Dig Dug was on the NES. Just Dig Dug 2. I looked not too long ago...

Actually, it DID come out Racket - for the Famicom in Japan.. Not over here in the States.
So technically, it's NOT an NES game..?

Ah! That makes sense.
I really wish there was a US version -- I love that game and I'm not a big fan of part 2

Just noticed this thread, and saw that 100 games have been listed. I was going to add Guardian Legend, but I am very pleased to see it's already on the list. (^_^)

14. Blades of Steel

Nobody disses Blades of Steel!

[Satoshi_Matrix]

I think I'll have to make my own personal list for my blog and give reasons for my picks. Some of the games chosen for this list would be cast out and others put in their place. Still a fun read guys.

Make sure you play Power Blade there Breetai. It's one of the best overlooked NES classics. I'd personally put it in the top 10 NES games ever.

I bolded that games I own/have owned, left the ones I've played but not owned in regular font, and deleted the ones I've never played.

I remember renting Power Blade back in the day. Why not? It made the cover of freakin' Nintendo Power!!! That is some serious status.

I still wouldn't list it in the top 10. Those ten spots are all reserved for XEXYZ.
