Sure, legends like The Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, and Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! deserve their praise, but my heart belongs to eight NES gems that defined my late childhood entry to the NES: Top Gun, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby’s Adventure, Contra, M.U.L.E., Mega Man 2, Rad Racer, and Batman: The Video Game.

Top 25 NES Games! Unbelievable console

Top 25 NES Games! I missed out on the NES the first time around, largely due to Nintendo not taking Europe seriously as a market in the early days. Years later I discovered the NES and started to collect for it. It was apparent to me straight from the off that this console was a notch above the British 8bit home computers I’d played around with years earlier.

I really appreciate it. Please subscribe and like :)) Thanks.
