nobody liked Dick Tracy? weak.

good one, another good one?

Who framed roger rabbit.

wow how could I have forgotton that one, solid solid game - movie games were often misses with me - Jaws, the Goonies II, The Adams Family, Hunt for Red October - none of them really did it for me

Jaws was impossible to kill at the end of the game...I really feel I wasted a significant portion of my childhood trying to shoot a stupid video game shark.

I'm wasting a good portion of my adulthood trying to beat GTAIV, so its all good

what?????? i dont even care about numbers 2-5...how has there only been 1 mention (and by the OP at that) of Baseball Stars???!!!???!!

Potentially the greatest game ever made for the NES, definitely the best baseball game ever. You had the ability to take a whole team of players and as you won games you got money to make those players better. Then buy better players with higher ceilings of stats. Till you had a whole team full of stars. The 10 run rule was in effect and when you started off with a team of Noobs you got your butt handed to you each and every time. I know I had a team full of Red Sox that I got to custom name.

So if you have never played this game before, find it and love it. The early 90's were built simply upon me playing this game, it was that good. Almost any NES all-time list should include Baseball Stars! I am done ranting :)

Yeah.  The only thing I never really liked about RC Pro AM was that there was no end to it.  You just kept repeating the same tracks, but the computer cars got faster and faster.  It seemed like there ought to be some way to "win."  Other than that, I loved it.

Nintendo reached perfection in 1989 with the creation of Baseball Stars-- Check that. The only thing about that game that I didn't care for was that the pitchers ran out of steam by like, the third inning. I just wanted to throw heat practically every pitch.

5. Duck Hunt
4. Mike Tyson's Punch Out
3. The Legend of Zelda (A gold cartridge!  A gold cartridge?!  You're blowing my mind, Link!)
2. Super Mario 2 (That's right. Two!)
1. Ultima

I also have to say that the NES was the system of hope.  When a game screwed up you could do literally anything possible to that cartridge to try to make it work again and it would always seem like a good idea (Anyone else try putting them in the fridge?).  If a game messes up in my 360 or my Wii, I freak the hell out.
