Lot of classics on there.  River City Ransom is one of my all time favourites, what a fun fun game.  Crystalis and Faxandu were both super good rpgs as well.  One missing from this list is the Wizardry release on NES, I played the crap out of that game.

Also lots of Sunsoft games on the list... those guys made some killer games, hard as heck to beat as well.

It may be niche but the Koei games were also awesome, i'm surprised by the lack of them on this list.

I never played the NES. The SNES was where it was at. :thumbsup:

Yeah the NES and, regrettably, the X-Box were the only consoles I ever owned.  The NES provided me with endless hours of entertainment.  The X-Box was a miserable piece of garbage that broke down at the drop of a controller.

Never again.

Any list without L'Empreur is illegitimate.

Some are kinda iffy.  Like Battletoads and teenage mutant ninja turtles.  Both were very disapointing.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

At a glance, none of the original Koei line is on there.  The list blows.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Quote25. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

Really?  That game totally blew.  It was the only Castlevania game I played when I was a kid and I thought it was so lame I didn't play any of the others...only to find out years later that I and III were awesome and it was only II that sucked.

I have that on an NES emu on my cellphone. The KOEI games are the only ones I can play to some extent with the touchscreen controls. :(

Super Mario 2 was great.

I really enjoyed most of the KOEI games. Genghis Khan I played for hours as a kid. Sometimes I'd even play all four at once. Once, I even had the four conquer the map in equal parts and then just passed on turns and wrote down family trees for them all. :nerd: I finally got bored in 1380 or something. :P

Genghis Khan II on the snes was a joke. Too cartoony, too much catering to the graphics crowd.

I could never get into the Asia games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Nobunagas Ambition. Just don't care about China or Japan. A game like those placed in France or Italy would have been awesome.

"Lord Medici, please enter orders." :wub:

In this era of insane graphics and WoW, its hard to believe how much hype simple games like Super Mario Brothers 3 used to generate.
Winner of THE grumbler point.
