Wondering if I could get some suggestions as to what else is worth owning? I'm already set on getting the rest of the Mega Mans (Mega Men?), DuckTales, Bionic Commando and Life Force. I love platformers obviously.

...I have almost every NES game, and I am happy to keep going if you want more suggestions.

These are just the games that sprung to mind immediately.

I'll check these out, thanks!

Not my cup of tea

One is enough (frustration) for me

These never quite clicked with me, I play Mario 2 on All-Stars for SNES once in a while and it just doesn't do anything for me.

Blaster Master is definitely worth a go just make sure you've got some time to dedicate to it since there aren't any passwords.

Here are some "hidden gem" platformers I highly recommend:

Metal Storm: Brutal but fantastic anti-gravity puzzle platformer.

Shatterhand: This is my favorite action game on the NES. You can PUNCH BULLETS.

Vice: Project Doom: Like Castlevania crossed with Blade Runner, very cool. Don't be fooled by the first level it's a short driving segment.

Power Blade: Really fun game with some minor exploration elements. Much better than the Japanese game it was based on.

Kick Master: Platformer mixed with an action RPG. You've just got to try this one out. It's really unique.

I also second Shadow of the Ninja. Good stuff.

Ninja Gaiden II is significantly more forgiving than Ninja Gaiden; so, perhaps you should consider exchanging your copy of NG for a copy of NGII.

I second all of these.

I haven't bought a single NES game all year, just Famicom games.

I'm right there with you actually. Kind of ran out of NES games I wanted and started picking up Fami exclusives.

I actually play my NES games on a Generation NEX, which plays both NES and Famicom games. Sadly, however, I do not own any Famicom games...(I really should make a list of good exclusives to pick up at some point.)

I also rarely pick up NES games, but that is because I only need the following to complete my collection:

...and none of them are easy to find "in the wild".

NGII is probably my favorite, the shadow clones rule. NGIII is pretty good too if you play it as Ninja Ryukenden III on the Famicom instead.

It's amazing how they managed to turn the most forgiving game in the trilogy into the most punishing when they brought it overseas.

pfsnl_gmr - pretty good list there. Outside of Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball, you're looking for the absolute rarest of sports titles.

Do you have the Blades of Steel variant?
