I would definitely add "A Boy and His Blob" to my top 10.

Many of the other games you listed I would agree with too like Mega Man 2, Punch-Out, and DuckTales.

[jb143]

These were my favorites growing up:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1
Goonies 2
Castlevania
Gauntlet
Ninja Gaiden
Willow
Battle Toads
Metal Storm
Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers

Now it's harder to decide since my choices aren't as limited anymore.

[eskobar]

here's mine :

Dragon Warrior 3
Castlevania 2
Les Chevaliers Du Zodiaque (PAL)
Tetris Tengen
Double Dragon
Bonk's Adventure
World Cup Soccer
Yo! Noid
The Krion Conquest

Zelda II is my favorite NES game

[Deadpixels]

I'm seeing some good choices so far.

Here's my top 10 NES titles:

1. Maniac Mansion
2. The Legend of Zelda
3. Deja Vu
4. Shadowgate
5. Ninja Gaiden
6. Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest
7. Mega Man 2
8. Kid Nikki the Radical Ninja
9. Gargoyle's Quest II
10. Guerilla War

I'm sure I forgot to mention some more worthy titles while making my list but for the moment that's about as accurate as I care to be.

[old_skoolin_jim]

In no real order:
Ducktales
Little Nemo
Bionic Commando
Startropics
Megaman 2
Uninvited
Adventures of Lolo 3
The Blue Marlin (yes, a fishing game... it's one of the best to this day, IMO)
Castlevania 3
Maniac Mansion

Those 10 are a pretty accurate sampling of my all-time NES favorites. Good times, indeed.
Also, props to whoever mentioned Metal Storm. I used to own it, but sold it in my "pre-teen with a lack of income" days.

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
High Speed
The Legend of Zelda
Metroid
Mike Tyson's Punch-out!!
Pinbot
R.C. Pro-Am

Super Spy Hunter

[briskbc]

My favorites are:

Blaster Master
Mike Tyson's Punchout
Gradius
Contra
Rad Racer
Chubby Cherub
RC Pro Am
Faxanadu
Battle Toads
Tetris

It has been 20 years since I've played Chubby Cherob. My endorsement is based purely on fond memories.

[Superman]

I found the way the question was asked to be funny (at least to me). The question was to make a top 10 list, but don't include what are for most people, 3 of their top 10 games. I guess it was amusing because of the way it was asked; there was nothing wrong with the question. Just a comment and just amusing (to me).

What I thought was more interesting, were the people who have put Mario, Zelda, or Metroid, even though the list was supposed to exclude those games. I guess that shows how much people think of those games!

[DigitalSpace]

I'm going to take things a step further and exclude Mega Man as well.

10. Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers 2
9. Double Dragon II: The Revenge
8. Pinball
7. Crystalis
6. Kirby's Adventure
5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
4. DuckTales
3. Life Force
2. Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers
1. R.C. Pro-AM

Battle of Olympus

[SpyHunter]

no particular order:

Vice Project Doom
XEXYZ

[Deadpixels]

Battle of Olympus

I can't believe I left out Uninvited. Anyway, good to see another fan of all of the Kemco Macventure NES ports. They're definitely some of the most incredibly underrated games on the system.

Great list.

[Sudo]

No real order:

Crystalis
Dragon Quest II
Mother
Wizards & Warriors
Startropics
Final Fantasy
Mega Man II
Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers
Bionic Commando
TMNT 2

[retro junkie]

It was very hard for me to narrow it down to 10. In no discernible order, except for the top three, they are the most played.

Crisis Force
Gun Nac
Bubble Bobble
Kirby Adventure
Gyruss
Zanac
Life Force
Gradius
Defender II
Kid Niki

I find choosing only a limited amount of titles for these lists agonizing.
