Watch out! Number 18 on my #NESTop25 is the arcade classic #Paperboy. This game is so silly and quirky, and I love it! Another game that just keeps going (I think), it was always fun to attempt to get every house to subscribe and “live” long enough to succeed! #NES #Nintendo #VideoGames

The 23rd listing in my #NESTop25 goes to #BobbleBobble. This game was a lot of fun with two people and just kept going… and that was okay. Because it was about the journey, not the destination. The game mechanics were like Mario Bros (not SMB), but better. #Nintendo #VideoGames

Numero 21 on the #NESTop25 is the OG #DonkeyKong. Bringing an arcade favorite to the home console is something that is still appreciated today. And though this game doesn’t have a lot of depth, it’s really blossomed into a fantastic franchise (Bananza anyone?)! #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 14 on my #NESTop25 is a version of the #SuperMarioBros. series I would have loved to see more of on the #NES, and that’s #SuperMarioBros2. I LOVED the idea of playing as Toad (and peach) and that the objective wasn’t a damsel in distress. #Nintendo got there eventually… #Mario #VideoGames

Some might saying having #Contra as number 17 on my #NESTop25 is too low, and for good reason. This the THE game the #Konami was for! This game actually has decent graphics for being at the beginning of the #NES lifecycle, and though the game play was basic, it was fun! #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 4 on my #NESTop25 blew everyone’s mind in 90’s. #SuperMarioBros3 being feature in the “Wizard” film was a big deal… and for good reason. A vast improvement in graphic and features from the #SuperMarioBros series, it’s hard not to love… somehow, still hard too. #Videogames #Nintendo #Mario

1st runner up in my #NESTop25 features the G.O.A.T of #VideoGames and the game that everyone had, it’s the original #SuperMarioBros. I’ve always enjoyed this game, but my interest of it skyrocketed when #SuperMarioBros released for a limited time 5 years ago ( #Nintendo, please bring it back)! #NES

Lucky number 7 on my #NESTop25 is #Metroid. This game raised a high bar for #NES and all #videogames action plaformers. Ton of content, challenge, and even graphics considering this is from the 1980’s. The story was just the beginning of a multi decade fascination with Metroids and Samus! #Nintendo

Clearing out the bottom 15 of my #NESTop25 at number 11 is #Tetris. Sure, this game really picked up steam with the Game Boy, but gotta show love to the original. I play Tetris 99 most nights for a quick moment of fun and challenge, showing the lasting impact of this one! #NES #VideoGames #Nintendo

At the top of my #NESTop25 is the reigning champion, #PunchOut!! This is a puzzle game disguised as a sports game, and I love it. The fun characters, the simple and effective control, the heartwarming story of a small boxer rising up through the ranks… what’s not to like?! #Nintendo #VideoGames #NES

Number 19 on my #NESTop25 might be a little high, but I remember enjoying #Jaws on the #NES quite a bit. I’m glad my #Nintendo still works and I have this game, because I want to play it again see if I can actually figure out how to complete and defeat the great white shark! #VideoGames

Just because a game is easier doesn’t mean it’s not fun. Number 8 on my #NESTop25 is a great example of that. #KirbysAdventure is unique, cute, and fun! After the Game Boy original, this was a huge upgrade that was fun to work through and a spark in a very fun series! #Nintendo #VideoGames #Kirby

Number 2 on my #NESTop25 is #Contra. It wasn’t until I was older that I learned the Konami code wasn’t called the Contra code. Couch co-op at its finest. Didn’t own this one until I was older, had to play at friend’s houses. Maybe that why I love it so much. #NES #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 15 of my #NESTop25 is an arcade port that blew my prepubescent mind. #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheArcadeGame in my house?! Sure, it wasn’t as good as the arcade, but it was awesome to play at home without pumping quarters in the machine. #Nintendo #VideoGames

#LifeForce (or “Salamander” in Japan) is the 22nd entry to my #NESTop25. Between me and my neighbors, we rented this game more times than any other… and being 8-10 years old, we never finished it, but boy did we try. Classic space shooter. I should try again now that I’m older… #Nintendo #VideoGames

The bronze medal of my #NESTop25 actually came in a gold cartridge. #TheLegendOfZelda created a legacy and a standard for adventure games. I didn’t finish this until I was an adult, but the fact I went back and played should say something. #Link, #Zelda, and #Ganon are iconic. #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 16 of my #NESTop25 might have the best music of any NES game (including the pause music). #Battletoads was TMNT on drugs… and I liked it. Yeah, this is a #NintendoHard game no doubt, but the animation, story, and gameplay was fun! Need to play more in the series now. #Nintendo #VideoGames

I know Chris had the original on his #NESTop25, but I have #TecmoSuperBowl at number 13 on mine. Twice as many play options than the original, real teams/players, multiple season play, and still with the original #NES #Tecmo charm? Count me in! #Nintendo #VideoGames

I mentioned Disney had a slew of great #NES TV syndication games earlier in my #NESTop25, and at number 12, #Ducktales is the cream of the crop. This Capcom game was initially a surprise as how great it was, but when the game had some Mega Man influence, it makes sense. #VideoGames #Nintendo

Number 14 on my #NESTop25 is #PipeDream. If you’ve never heard of it, I get it. This game was a co-op that I played a ton with my dad. You had to build a series of pipes to avoid spilling whatever liquid was traveling through the pipes. Endless hours of fun with my pops. #NES #Nintendo #VideoGames

Number 22 on my #NESTop25 is #Metroid. I enjoyed Super Metroid SO much more than the original. With that said, this game is still lots of fun. Absolute #NES classic. One of the original #VideoGames twists: Samus Aran is a girl! Such a badass #Nintendo character!

Back to the regularly scheduled program, number 20 of my #NESTop25 goes to #ChipNDale #RescueRangers. #Disney had a slew of #NES games from their syndicated TV shows, most of them pretty good… and this isn’t even the best one. Fun story, decent graphics, good control… #Winning! #Nintendo #VideoGames

The Blue Bomber FINALLY shows up on my #NESTop25 at number 6 (honestly should have shown up sooner, too). This is peak #MegaMan in my view. This is when sliding first showed up along with Proto Man, adding to an already fun series. Classic gameplay + fun characters = winning! #VideoGames #Nintendo

Number 24 of my #NESTop25 goes to a game I’m more excited about due to the characters than anything else, it is #TheSimpsons:#BartVsTheSpaceMutants. I never got very far in the game, but loved seeing the show in a video game for the first (but far from the last) time… #Nintendo #NES #VideoGames

Number 18 on my #NESTop25 is #StarTropics. I’m fairly sure Clint turned me onto this game. I’m also fairly sure I scored this as a $10 deal toward the end of the #NES lifecycle. I’m glad I played this one! The puzzles were challenging but not #Nintendo tough. Just a really fun #VideoGames.
