Your favourite Sega Master System and NES games
 

Hey guys, I entered the gaming scene around the time of the Genisis and Snes, and because of this it occured to me that I've probably been missing out on some quality 8-bit gaming. Since roms are so readily available nowadays I thought I'd aquaint myself with these systems better - but what are the all time classic, greatest games? Post your favourites, I'd be interested to hear! Cheers.

all i have to say is chrono trigger for nintendo, wow most addicting/fun game ive ever ingauged in, i used to play it non stop ( there is like 200 different endings ) and now i have it on my computer with an emulator, cant get much better then this :)

Chrono Trigger was for the Super Nintendo
If you like RPGs then Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy 1 are the way to go.
Sports - Tecmo Bowl and Double Dribble
River City Ransom deserves its own category
Platform - Ninja Gaiden
Shooter - Gradius
None of the old SMS games really stood out for me except Phantasy Star

LNCPapa listed a lot of my favorites, here are a few more, though

Solstice
Contra
Snake Rattle n Roll
Shadowgate
Deja Vu
Castlevanie 2:Simon's Quest
Adventures of LoLo (?) 1,2, and 3 iirc
TMNT 1
Solar Jetman (THE most underappreciated game on nes, imo)

Yeah! Can't believe I forgot to mention Castlevania and Contra! Let's not forget Metal Gear either.
