| I got the NES WAY late so the order I started picking up games was odd. |
I started picking up NES games in early 1995 (Jan/Feb/March) with my allowance. Luckily I could find them fairly easily for low prices (as the system had been out for 9 years by that time, and discontinued I believe).

| 1. Kid Icarus |
I had played Kid Icarus on the Game Boy and even though that was a few years newer than the NES game, the limitations of the Game Boy itself (especially graphically) made this game feel quite similar - they even both had password save systems so I didn't feel any loss there. I'm not sure if it was my varying ability between consoles or if they had tonned down the Game Boy version, but this game was significantly harder for me than the Game Boy game.

| 2. Battletoads |
I recently popped Battletoads in and replayed it, it wasn't easy but the different perspectives (like when the boss robot is shooting at you and you have to throw the stuff back at the camera) along with pretty good graphics for the time and fast fun gameplay - I can see why this was an awesome game and would make Nintendo want to acquire Rare. I did some reading and apparently Rare made Battletoads to compete (and play off of) the popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the time (TMNT IV: Turtles in Time for SNES, go play it now- awesome game!).

| 3. Zoda's Revenge: Star Tropics II |
I recently went back to play Zoda's Revenge (Star Tropics II) for this blog post and was lost as hell (once I got past the intro chapter basically) and was having trouble just figuring out how to not die while exploring around. I eventually read online and figured a few things out and started to have some fun - didn't play it too much though as it didn't really catch me. I can see why they haven't made a sequel - I seem to remember the first being better though, maybe I have rose-colored glasses for it for some reason.
