I’ve been trying to get into the NES library, but not too sure what’s some titles worth playing. I’ve played Popeye and Zelda 1. Popeye was alright, but Zelda 1 I just couldn’t get into. I played through the whole thing and didn’t really enjoy it all that much. It wasn’t bad, just not my thing.
Currently I’m looking to try Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong Jr, Donkey Kong Jr Math, Dr. Mario, Mendel Palace, River City Ransom, Terra Cresta, and Tetris. My friend also recommended me Super Mario Bros, Punch-Out, Metroid, and Panic Restaurant. I’m really into racing games and puzzle games, but haven’t been enjoying brawlers all that much lately (there’s a few I like like the Devil May Cry series, Lego games, and the Batman Arkham series).
Smb 3 is probably one of the most defining jump’n’run games ever made. Lots of fun to this day. Must play.
Mega Man. If you only play one, play Mega Man 2. The other ones are fine too, if you enjoyed 2.
Startropics. Action adventure similar to Zelda, but honestly probably more enjoyable nowadays.
Earthbound. Unlike the FFs it never got a remake, so it’s really the only way to experience it.
