I'd tend to recommend NES originals rather than conversions from superior systems so...

Kickle Cubicle! Highly addictive.

And Snake Rattle & Roll.

And RC Pro Am.

And possibly Solstice, although I find it very hard and a lot less accessible than its SNES sequel Equinox.

And Megaman 3

And Duck Hunt

Since I'm starting a wee collection of my own

Ooer.
Go famicom as the NES pales into insignificance beside it.

Otherwise Gradius and River City Ransom are storming. Kung-Fu too.

Don't forget Batman (best Batman game ever ^_^)
RC Pro-Am
Gradius
Gunsmoke
Double Dragon II
Snake Rattle n Roll

I think there is lots of great games on the NES. It is my favorite system (plus Super Nintendo too ^_^)

I heartily agree - absolutely magnificent game.

A few other faves of mine -

Duck Tales - easy, but so much fun.
Ninja Gaiden - can get tricky, but extremely compelling.
Super Mario 3 - one of the finest games of all time.
Bionic Commando - great Capcom platform actioner.
Captain Skyhawk - addictive shooter.
Punch Out - superb, simple fun.

Double Dragon.................... Classic

Defender of the Crown ......... Good all round game

Duck Hunt .......Excellent 2player when one person gets to control the Duck

Jackal......but I don't know if you can get that game over here. Ride around in jeeps rescuing prisoners upgrading your weapons Blowing up loads of stuff. Real Jem of a Game IMO Excellent end of level Bosses aswell.

Bubble Bobble .................... Classic

Excitebike.......................... Design your own course

Rampage........................... If you liked it in the Arcades this is a pretty good game

Marble Madnes................... Excellent game and killer graphics for the NES
