| Shadowgate 138k | ![]() | Shadowgate... spooky! SPOOKY! It's an adventure game, with a menu driven interface. I remember frantically trying to find my way through, being stuck for weeks in certain places. The days before hints were available on the internet! |
| Shatterhand 141k | ![]() | This game was passed over for the Ninja Gaidens of its time, but it had surprisingly good graphics and some interesting attacks and weapons. |
| Shingen the Ruler 131k | ![]() | Another game in the spirit of Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it has a quirky interface that I sort of came to like. |
| Silent Service 48k | ![]() | The submarine game! Complicated, but fun if you don't mind a wait to get to the action. It's as much a simulation game as a battle game. |
| Silkworm 95k | ![]() | Why did they call this game 'Silkworm'? They might as well have called it 'Nazi', and given you a choice between a flowerpot and a dog turd to control, instead of a chopper and a jeep. Those Japanese! |
| Skate or Die! 85k | ![]() | Skate or DIE!! You played this if you had an NES. Even if you were a dork who didn't like skating, you played it. And you liked it! |
| Snake's Revenge 142k | ![]() | The sequel to Metal Gear. The series gains a bit more sophistication. |
| Sqoon 25k | ![]() | With a name like Sqoon, you have to wonder. What you get is a submarine shooter game, with very simple graphics. This one gets tough, but it remains fun. |
| Star tropics 252k | ![]() | A good sized game, Star Tropics never really seemed to find itself in the limelight very much. It's an unusual game, with a bit of action, a lot of adventuring, and a bit of RPG ness hanging about it. |
| Star Tropics 2 288k | ![]() | The sequel is even stranger than the first one.. ciphers, snow, weird relatives, odd happenings. It deserves to be played.... by you! |
| Strider 144k | ![]() | Strider! If you need master of explosion! (so says the intro screen), you need Strider. It's a platformer that's a cut above - it's a long game, also. |
| Super Dodge Ball 101k | ![]() | This one has a rather wild cult following - some people even go so far as to say that it's the best game on the NES. While I definitely wouldn't go that far, it's a fun, solid game. |
| Super Mario Brothers 31k | ![]() | The original... Super... Mario.. BROTHERS! Often considered one of the best games of all time, this title stands as a monument to great design. |
| Super Mario Brothers 2 77k | ![]() | Often disliked, I found Super Mario Brothers 2 to be a lot of fun. It has neat graphics, and dispenses with the two conventions from the first one that I never liked: A timer and a score. |
| Super Mario Brothers 3 224k | ![]() | Here it is - the ultimate Super Mario Brothers. It's certainly one of the best games on the NES - perfectly polished design. Only Yoshi's Island stands as the better game in the entire Mario series. |
| Talespin 116k | ![]() | Yes, it's a Disney game, and, yes, it's completely ridiculous. However, it's also kind of fun, and has pleasant graphics. |
| Target Renegade 87k | ![]() | A complete rip off of the Double Dragon series, (even the guys look just the same), this one still managed to be fun. There's lot s of nasty motortcycle guys to kick off of their equally nasty motorcycles! |
| Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 143k | ![]() | The first in the honorable series. Fun, but the graphics are pretty rough. You may remember excitedly waiting your turn to play this one. |
| Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 253k | ![]() | The arcade game! Quite a step up graphically, this one is a lot of fun. I always thought that the collision detection was off - but my friends just told me I sucked. |
| Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 284k | ![]() | A ridiculous plot, as always, but the opportunity to beat up ninjas in purple outfits, making them explode, should never be passed up. |
| Tiger Heli 27k | ![]() | I always liked the name, and I always liked the game. Making no pretense that this is action only, this brainless but fun game is a nice counterpoint to the next title! |
| Tombs and Treasure 149k | ![]() | A convoluted interface and a cliched but crazy plot make this Tombs and Treasure game feel more like work than play. However, there's a lot at the juicy center, so if you can get past the awkward conventions, you might find yourself intrigued. |
| Top Gun 72k | ![]() | The game that needs no introduction! Top Gun ushered in a new area of Air-Force recruits, and features none of the realism of flying a real jet. However, those carrier landings were hard enough - remember those? |
| Twin Cobra 99k | ![]() | Another game like Tiger-Heli. However, this one has an annoying addition - the powerups try to avoid you! This irritating addition costs gamers thousands of lives over the years. Naughty Sammy! |
