Fester's Quest was okay, but it was the weakest of the Sunsoft games. Not as deserving of a spot as Batman, Journey To Silius, or Blaster Master. Hell, even Gremlins 2 was better.

Can someone post the whole list?

Batman 33
Journey to Silius 81
Gremlins 2 unlisted

^ When I first saw them alphabetically at the bottom of the list I thought that WAS how they were ranked, and almost had a heart attack that Zombie Nation was #1 Laughing

Seconded. DW3 was such an amazing game. Truly my favorite of the four NES games.

Thirded. I have played Final Fantasy enough. Been there, done that. But Dragon Warrior III never, ever gets old.

sadly, i lost my GBC copy of the game ages ago. i never managed to finish it. i got to the final final boss and just stopped playing. i would go back and just grind to get my whole party of sages to level 99. then i lost the game.

i wonder if youtube has the ending

Double Dragon III and no original Double Dragon? Ghosts 'N Goblins? Metal Gear and no Snake's Revenge? I really really wish the non-canoness of Snake's Revenge would stop people from judging it by that, Metal Gear while canon, SUCKS on NES. Mega Man 1 and 2 don't deserve to be that high either.

Ah, okay then. Yeah that's the final boss.

Double Dragon III kinda sucked. DD2 was definitely the best.

Keiji Inafune considers Mega Man 2 to the best. I disagree, but a lot of people don't. I like MM3 the best. MM1 is a great fucking game, and needs to be on the list. 30 is a reasonable position for it. It made #20 on our list.

i agree. DDIII is ranked way too high. like you said, part II is better. and even battletoads/double dragon is better than part III. at least, its funner.

Am I the only one who found DDIII unplayable? I can't get past the first level, get my ass handed to me every time. Confused

I can't believe they listed Mario Bros.

Mario Bros. was a regressive arcade port that underused the console. Why not just include Donkey Kong and Pac-Man too?

You suck at Duck Hunt. I was waiting for you to notice that!

I see what they were doing I guess by putting DWI in the top ten because it started it all or whatever. But DWIII is clearly a better game.

With this list, I had a hard time deciding if they were going for quality, impact, or favoritism. It looks like all three, but that doesn't make for a very good list.

I tried to play Fester's Quest again this summer. That game was as annoying today as I remembered it being 15 years ago. Those fuckin frog things are way too fast and the mazes are a pain in the ass. TMNT was absurd, IGN's list is inferior to Syd's by far. After reading Syd's list I went and got Abadox at the record exchange for five bucks. It says something about IGN list quality when Syd's lowest game is better than a lot of their middle ranked ones.

Yeah Abadox kicks ass, but I cannot get past the second half of level 5. If you lose the power ups it is absurdly difficult, not that is a walk in the park with them.

Don't get me wrong, Syd & Co. have a much better list that stands head and shoulders above IGNs...but the fact that IGN put Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team on there makes me very very happy.

Yeah, that game was cheap in alot of areas and was a test of patience.

Indeed, even though Battletoads 2 With Special Guests Billy and Jimmy Lee was better on both 16-bit platforms, I loved pretty much all four versions.

Why are most of the games on this list on most worst games ever list? I can only guess it is to get people complaining about it on forums so it gets hits. The list here is much, much better.
