Number 1 on my #NESTop25 is #TecmoSuperBowl. The first football game with all NFL teams & players. Madden has taken over but TSB is the GOAT imo. Still love firing up the #NES & playing this game, old rosters & all. Might not have a classic #Nintendo character, but Bo Jackson is a #VideoGames legend

Number 2 on my #NESTop25 is #Contra. It wasn’t until I was older that I learned the Konami code wasn’t called the Contra code. Couch co-op at its finest. Didn’t own this one until I was older, had to play at friend’s houses. Maybe that why I love it so much. #NES #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 3 on my #NESTop25 is #SuperMarioBros. The game that started it all. I’m guessing nobody at #Nintendo back then thought they just created the most legendary video game character of all time. This #NES #VideoGames withstands the test of time. I still play this game to this day.

Number 26 on my extended list would be Marble Madness. Such a fun game! I am the Marble Master!

Number 4 on my #NESTop25 is #MegaMan2. This & MM3 are like 1A & 1B in the series to me. I went with MM2 as the highest rated due to the difficulty. Levels & bosses were still challenging, but the game was beatable. In an era of #Nintendo hard games, an #NES #VideoGames I could progress on was great.

Number 5 on my #NESTop25 is #MegaMan3. The introduction of Rush as a “playable” character and Proto Man. Difficult ramped back up in this one, but the 2nd controller glitch helped offset that some. #NES classic series, #Nintendo classic character, my favorite #VideoGames series of all time.

Number 6 on my #NESTop25 is #PUNCH-OUT!! Should it be in my top 5? Sure, it’s that good. The only knock on this #NES classic is the difficulty. I could never master this one. The SNES one on the other hand… but we aren’t talking SNES right now. Fighting Mike Tyson = #Nintendo impossible #VideoGames

Number 7 on my #NESTop25 is #Kirby’sAdventure. The pink superstar is one of the best #Nintendo series of all time. This game took the GB model and pumped it full of new content. If I fire up the #NES at this stage of life, this one is on the short list. “Easy” #VideoGames have their place too!

Number 8 on my #NESTop25 is #SuperMarioBros3. After SMB2, this #NES classic went back to the original style and introduced multiple new items/ideas. I had lots of fun with this one, but the difficulty of the last world frustrated me as a kid (& as an adult, lol). #Nintendo #VideoGames classic!

Number 9 on my #NESTop25 is #DoubleDragonIITheRevenge. One of my favorite co-op games of the #NES generation. Went through a faze in high school that a great friend (Grutt) and I would head to my house after school to beat this game before doing anything else. Love this #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 10 on my #NESTop25 is #MicroMachines. I played this game with my older cousins at a family gathering and fell in love. I finally found the game at Walmart and managed to score a copy. The tabletop racing is unique and fun to this day. #NES #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 11 on my #NESTop25 is #MegaMan4. This is the most underrated in the series, imo. The Toad Man stage sticks in my memory. The first stage I played when I rented for the first time. Maybe I’ve given too much MM love but his run on the #NES is fond to me. #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 12 on my #NESTop25 is #TheGuardianLegend. You explored a map looking for portals that took you to flying levels. The mashup kept me hooked and pushing forward. I’d love to play this one again. #NES #Nintendo #VideoGames

That’s funny! It’s a different one, for sure. Never played anything close to it since.
I just realized, my list, is the order of games I’d pickup and play if I was going to binge 25 NES games.
Duck Hunt at 25, would play for 10 mins to relive. Excitebike at 24, 20 mins to relive. So on & so forth.

Number 13 on my #NESTop25 is #MendelPalace. I know, not your typical #Nintendo #VideoGames list! This is another co-op that I played a ton with my sister growing up. You used floor tiles to shove enemies into the walls to eliminate them. This is an #NES gem for me. Lots of memories playing this one!

Number 14 on my #NESTop25 is #PipeDream. If you’ve never heard of it, I get it. This game was a co-op that I played a ton with my dad. You had to build a series of pipes to avoid spilling whatever liquid was traveling through the pipes. Endless hours of fun with my pops. #NES #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 15 on my #NESTop25 is #MegaMan5. If you can’t tell, this entire series left an impression on me. I still play these games to this day. I’m still excited to see if Clint and I have the same Mega Man #NES #VideoGames seated as the best of the bunch. #Nintendo legend: Mega Man!

My #NintendoHard game is #NinjaGaiden. I’d like to have this game ranked but it was so hard, it couldn’t be fun to me. It’s an #NES / #Nintendo #VideoGames classic to many. I never got to experience much of it due to its extreme difficulty.

Number 16 on my #NESTop25 is #TecmoBowl. This game was the first football #VideoGames that made me say WOW! I loved playing this game with New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. For a challenge, I’d play with Denver or Seattle (who had pink uniforms). #NES classic! #Nintendo

Number 17 on my #NESTop25 is #TMNT2:TheArcadeGame. This is the first arcade port that I was PUMPED I could play at home instead of the Gold Mine. (Gold Mine was the local mall arcade growing up)
I also thought this game was SO much better than the 1st TMNT game for the #NES. #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 18 on my #NESTop25 is #StarTropics. I’m fairly sure Clint turned me onto this game. I’m also fairly sure I scored this as a $10 deal toward the end of the #NES lifecycle. I’m glad I played this one! The puzzles were challenging but not #Nintendo tough. Just a really fun #VideoGames.

Number 19 on my #NESTop25 is #MegaMan6. The final MM installment on the #NES, and one of the last games released for the original #Nintendo. I was already playing SNES #VideoGames primarily when I saw this gem at Blockbuster. Guessing my last NES rental. I have played this game multiple times since.

Number 20 on my #NESTop25 is #CobraTriangle. You play as a boat and you can upgrade speed, strength, and weapons. Levels were races, obstacle courses, targets, and boss fights. Single player #NES game. I had so much fun with this one as a kid. I never got bored of this #Nintendo #VideoGames.

I know, totally random, because I don’t think this one released in the US. I didn’t have a Famicom growing up, I played this much later in life. This game might be the worst video game I ever played.
