TMTMM Countdown: 101 Favorite NES Games Part 4 (#'s 61-70)

(Note: This is the Fourth part of a countdown of my 101 Favorite NES games.  I'm not saying these are the 101 best NES games or even 101 good NES games, just that they are the 101 games that I like the most.  I don't expect you to have the same list, cause that would be strange if we literally liked 101 games exactly the same way.)

61)Final Fantasy-

The one that started the greatest RPG series of All time.  I admit I didnt play this game back then, wasnt until I got into emulation in early 200s, and only then because FF3/6 is my all time fave RPG and I wanted to see how it all started.


As an added bonus check these awesome extras from in the box:

62)Burger Time-
This game is just fun.  Its not groundbreaking, it doesnt have great graphics or perfect control or even amazing sound, it just is fun to play.  This legit might be my favorite 5/10 game ever.

63)POW-
Not a great big fan of using POW as a game title, but they did and its a good side scrolling beat em up.  Think Double Dragon but in war torn asia, its a good game even if you arent a fan of war games.





64)Pac-Man- 
Its Pac-Man, if you dont know what Pac-Man is im not sure you should be reading this or that you are even real, every one knows the Pac.  This isnt the best conversion of the coin op but its highly playable.If i want a Pac fix nowadays I grab 256 or CEDX.  But this should be played by Pac fans.
65)Double Dribble-
Great b-ball game for its time, basically the Tecmo Bowl of basketball, the NES b-ball game of choice(Arch rival Arch Rivals is #90).  And yes that three point spot is insanely unfair.


66)Gradius-

Im not the biggest side scrolling shooter fan, mainly cause I sucked at them so bad growing up.  But even then I appreciated the game play of this simple but deep shooter.  The weapon system on this game was impressive for the NES era.  Biggest complaint here is the various difficulty spike and drops.

 

67)Spy vs Spy-

This game is a hoot!  Ive actually never played this game by myself.  I mean Ive played it single player, but only in a group.  This game will always draw a smile to my face.  Not the prettiest or best controlling but still a good time.

68)Rambo-
This game is something else.  I dont know what half of the shit that goes on in this game actually means.  The only thing I can figure is the symbolism is over my head or the designers used a ton of drugs during the making of it, and I mean a literal ton.  But that said its a decent looking ok playing game.  It just defies description most of the time and telling you about will do no good, it has to be experienced.




69)Duck Tales-

Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes, it's a duck-blur!
Might solve a mystery
Or rewrite history!

DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Everyday they're out there making
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Tales of derring-do, bad and good
Luck Tales!

D-d-d danger lurks behind you
There's a stranger out to find you
What to do, just grab on to some...

DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Everyday they're out there making
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Tales of derring-do, bad and good
DuckTales! Woo-oo!

Not pony tales or cotton tales, no,
DuckTales! Woo-oo!

Plus it looks ok and plays decent.





70)Mega Man 4-

Its a Mega Man 3 ROM Hack.  Ok so thats not true but there really are only cosmetic differences between the two games, they play exactly the same and you can pick out every Mega Man trope in this game, most all of them coming from previous games.  The things that are new(graphics/music/sounds/etc) are all good so this isnt a step back, it just didnt step up either.
