I'm a fan of the old 8-bit and have a soft spot for new developers releasing games today in similar fashion, like Axiom Verge or Elliot Quest.
Just curious if anyone else has any particular favs from that era.

I certainly loved Nes Games:  Double Dragon, Double Dragon 2, Super Spike VBall, Contra, Metroid, Mike Tysons Punch Out, Dr. Mario, River City Ransom, and RBI Baseball.   I also loved The Ninja, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Alien Syndrome, and Astro Warriors from the Sega Master System. 

Any favorites I missed?

Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap. The GG Shinobi. The GG Shinobi 2. Power Strike 2. Whichever Asterix game was the not shit one. Fantasy Zone.

On the straight action side of things: Castlevania 1-3, Conquest of Crystal Palace, Wizards & Warriors 1-3, Sword Master, Shadow of the Ninja, Rygar, Karnov, Legend of Kage, Smash TV, Kung Fu Heroes, Shatterhand, Jackal, Ikari Warriors 1-3, Platoon, Kung Fu, Karate Kid (back before everyone was playing Street Fighter this was the go-to fighter for the NES), Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, Technos Samurai (a spinoff of River City Ransom set in feudal Japan) and again a bunch of favorites I can't remember at the moment.

One the sports/game simulation side of things: Pinbot, Base Wars, Baseball Simulator 2000, Pro Wrestling (Fuck Starman, Kin Corn Karn for the win!), Tecmo World Wrestling, RC ProAm 1 & 2, Top Gun, and a bunch of other favorites slipping my mind.

wario land 1 and kirby's dreamland 2 are very good games and shouldn't be obscure but for some reason they're rarely talked about. probably gameboyphobia at work

[Tuba]

Super Mario Bros, Contra, Punch-Out, Galaga and River City Ransom are my favorites I think. They are still pretty fun to play.
