What are your top 5 favorite Rareware games?

[Gunstar Green]

I simply cannot list 5 games by Rare because there are just so many, especially on the NES, but there is a serious lack of Captain Skyhawk up in this thredzzle.

I didn't try to name 5 because I'm not a big fan of Rareware, but Captain Skyhawk is absolutely one of my favorite NES games.

Captain Skyhawk is an unsought gem of a shooter on the system, just not in the top 5 for me is all unless someone makes another top5 for just NES Rare games then it's in.

I remember Captain Skyhawk. I feel like that and the Afterburner games were prepping me for the awesomeness that would be Starfox.

Last night, i played DKC3 (GBA) again. I forgot how great that one is! IMO, better than DKC2. They're both amazing titles, but i like the whole 'water' theme of DKC3 more.

Man, I played the shit out of Super R.C. Pro-Am for the Game Boy. I need to check out the NES games sometime. I recently played Goldeneye for the N64 using a mouse on an emulator and was pleasantly surprised. Its style and simplicity made it more than worthwhile for PC FPS gamers. Why yes, I am plugging my review, thank you for noticing.

There's also a hacked version of the N64 emulator "1964" that allows Goldeneye to be played in true 60 frames per second. Perfect Dark is supported for this as well.
