Top 10 Original Nintendo Games
I am sure many of you have your own favorite original NES games. It was a close call for the top position for me.
10. Kung Fu: “One of the great first generation games. Sylvia, Sylvia!”
9. RC Pro AM: “Very fun game, allowed you to build up your car through out the game to add a very fun element”
8. Ikari Warriors: “The first two player at the same time adventure. ABBA gave you an extra life!”
7. Metal Gear: “Excellent fun and very difficult to complete. A spy game with attitude.”
6. Link – Zelda II: “An amazing game that defined a generation of early video games. Very difficult… I was one of the only people that actually beat the whole game.”
5. Super Techno Bowl: “Hut, Hut, Hut, Hut, Hut… nuff’ said”
4. Zelda: “The gold box, the master sword, the race to be the first on the block to finish it. Fantastic game.”
3. Contra: “up-down-left-right-left-right-ABBA-select-start”
2. Mike Tyson’s Punch Out: “I never could beat Mike Tyson, but I got to him. Very fun game with excellent play controll. Had very memorable characters and an amazing training song!”
1. Rygar: “The greatest of the greats… Rygar had it all. A game that could be finished in an afternoon with great graphics, fun character building functions, and a floating cloud super castle!”
Some Honorable Mentions: Faxandu, Bad News Baseball, Duck Hunt, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Super Mario Bros. 2, Trojan

I like the Top 10 list at http://originalnintendo.net but the only problem is no Battletoads, Dragon Warrior, Dodgeball or River City Ransom. I really like the games on your list though. The brought back fond childhood memories.
