One thing I like about Heavy Barrel is that specific item boxes always have the same items. So if you can memorize where the extra lives are, it helps to get through the game.

Gyrus is more a spiritual kin to Tempest than to vertical or horizontal scrolling shooters. It's awesome but definitely a different feel than most shooters.

@@PlayasGuide first one I recall was in a bowling alley in Florida. No one was playing it at first & my initial impression was it looked like a Pac-Man clone on a cramped board who's visuals were the only plus.

I grew up with Rollergames and Little Nemo in my collection, and they have always been favorites! I was able to pick up Crystalis last year at a great price. For some reason I always thought that one got pricey as time went on. I was surprised to see the affordable price tag!

@@PlayasGuide What's wild is that, aside from a handful of exceptions, all my NES games were "shared" carts between me and my cousins. Eventually, they just left them all with me and they stayed with me. I still have all of them, and have added many of my own purchases since then.

Little Nemo is a no brainer. Probably the best platformer I still don't have and maybe the most essential NES/Famicom game I don't own. Gremlins 2 was a big surprise when I rented it back in the day. Sunsoft actually made good movie games. I would put Batman on the list also but it's more difficult to find cheaper. Still not as expensive as other games I would like to collect. I have Crystallis, Karnov, and Heavy Barrel. My collection is over 100. Have considered Gyruss but haven't picked it up yet. Cabal I is another excellent arcade port that is not too expensive. Natsume made only a handful of games but they are one of the best 3rd party devs for the NES next to Konami. I like them easily more than Capcom. Problem is their games are some of the most expensive. They are the ones I don't have I wish I could have most.

Whomp 'Em & Guerrilla War are decent nes games and I can't imagine them being that expensive. Truth be told nes and every other console have tons of games that did not get much press. That doesn't always decide if a game is great or not. I remember intelligence Qube for PS1, I think it may have even been generally disliked but it's not true, its a great game. Really depends on the person too.
