    Default Good NES games.

    What are some good, ahem nes games to play?

    mainly Im looking for strange games, great rpgs that I probably havent heard of, and possibly translated japanese ones :p

    Also on a side note, I played a strange r..game once, you where a chef fighting a bunch of food items, and the first boss was I think a tin of popcorn. What would the name of this strange game. Also another side note, any more food related games? How about for other systems?

    Is the game you're thinking of Panic Restaurant?

    As for translated NES RPG's most of them are Dragon Warrior rip-offs/clones, so unless you loved Dragon Warrior, you might want to stick with the SNES, PSX, Saturn and GBA for RPG's.

    For a list of translated NES games:

    You need to play Shadowgate. This is one of my favorite adventure games of all time. If you like that one you should check out Deja Vu and Uninvited.

    Destiny of an Emperor 1 & 2 are kickass RPGs. I'm writing a FAQ for the first game right now. You need a translation patch for the second though.

    I don't know you, you're not my friend.

    I'm full of good ideas..

    King Kong 2? Destiny of the Emporer sounds fun, and the others look fun too

    Try out ninja gaiden 1,2 & 3, those are classics.

    Also metal gear is a good but hard game.

    The Mario games (especially smb 3) are great fun. The three NES Final Fantasies are quite good, especially FF2...

    If you want a strange/rare nes game, look for SD Splatterhouse. It's in Japanese, but I believe there is a patch floating around. Either way, you don't really need it anyway, but the game is pretty fun.

    Incase you don't know what splatterhouse is, it's a violent series of games that were on Turbo Grafix and Genesis. Pretty fun games for the most part. Also get Deja Vu, Wizardy, Magic of Scherezade, Contra, Super C, Zelda (I'd pass on the sequel), Super Spike VBall and Punchout. I can't think of anything else that hasn't already been mentioned.
