This should be a regular video. Some of my favorite games are just "good" by mainstream standards. It's a great way to promote "good" games that many probably missed.

Legendary Wings is a good! Played it so much I can almost no-deathrun with no damage taken.

That was a 'good' video

If you only rented Image Fight, you probably were never able to beat the 3rd stage because of the pipe laser boss. 💀 Heck, I own the Famicom cart, and I have sunk hours over months trying to beat that boss, came close once...gotta have your ship speed set right to even have a chance I think.

Looks fun! Thanks for sharing!

I don't understand how "good" would be considered bad , less than or not worth a playing 🤔.

That’s funny I’m from Antioch.

7:38!!! Jajaja 🍈🍈🍈🤩🤩🤩😬😬😬

Your audio is really silent always! Id like to watch but can't hear anything

20:26 - Varia Suit

Hopefully in the future this a rom for this for people who don't have a NES or ill have to invest in one this looks awesome

I remember renting Trogs once, and only once, a long time ago. For whatever reason, it stuck with me and all these years later, I have it. Pretty much the only thing I've played on NES for years.

Does anyone remember a game on the NES that is a vertical shooter game where you play as a dragon? I played it when I was really young so my memory is foggy, but it was the first game I beat and would love to add it to my collection. Think you upgrade and gain multiple heads to increase your fire power. Again been over 30 years so my memory is of the game might be off

Batman Returns is an A Tier Beat Em Up for me

Rollergames was one of my favorite games as a kid, and I actually still think it's an underrated gem.

Need some flux and fresh solder if you're going to reflow pads properly

One I thought was good was Mag Max. That odd side scrolling shmup where you can collect the three pieces of a robot torso to become the giant walking robot. Also some others that are good, but not amazing: Rambo, Predator, Platoon, Tiger-Heli, Dr. Chaos, and the list could go on for quite a while. I would say that maybe 45-55% of the NES library could fall into the "good, not great or amazing, but good" category. The other 45-55% would fall into the Amazing, or amazingly awful category. And of the 45-55% of the "good" games probably around 45-55% are sitting on the fence separating good from mediocre and would be a toss-up depending on the player. This got me thinking of what could potentially be a fun video to do: Desperate dredges of videoland; It is Friday night and the video store only has X games available to rent. Of the ones available, which would you go with? You have to pick something, but they are all bad. Which is the cream of the crap? And no, you can't find three reasons to watch Total Recall instead. If you do then you have to listen to the "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" audiobook as read by Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day.

Circus Caper.

To each their own and all but I don’t even think total recall is in my top 5 Schwarzenegger movies. Def behind terminator and t2, running man, predator, commando, true lies

If I recall correctly, the original pinball mentioned at 13:30 was called Bagatelle. It lasted a very long time in the U.K. thanks to being used as a “game of skill” style gambling device.

Jesus said if your Luke warm he we'll spit you out

Need to make cart slot cleaners as well

I remember the original NES TMNT being fairly obtuse, but awesome at the time. I’d consider it good, whereas the later beat em ups were fairly great by comparison

I kinda liked 3D World Runner. Good list John!

Games look fun !

Mach rider reminds me of hang on. As the owner of the Total recall game since 2007 I'm thoroughly convinced that it is not even a good game the whole way that it plays is just weird write down to how quade punches I guess it's okay I mean it gets just beyond difficult I still don't think I've ever gotten past stage one maybe once. Maybe if a person sat down and just played it over and over and over. It's better than the Terminator on nes

This is an excellent idea for a video; I often talk about what I call medium obscurity in games, where it's not Mario so the masses don't know it, and it's not something weird and obscure enough that the hardcore fans are talking about it, so even if it's more popular than, say Kiteretsu Daihyakka, fewer people are discussing it. This isn't quite the same thing, but I imagine there's a great deal of overlap. Great choices, too, especially Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout, Dynowarz (PERFECT description), and Wurm; I'm a maj- uhh... moderate fan of those. Bugs Bunny has some really interesting visual design for its worlds, as well as a neat battle mechanic that kinda works like croquet; if you stand on an enemy before hammering them, they'll slide across the ground, sometimes with a unique effect. Dynowarz and Wurm are more like the quintessential NES experience; everyone knows Mario, Zelda, Mega Man, and all that, but back in the day, you had a game like one of these: middle-of-the-road titles that only you had (and your friends had games similar to these that only they had), and you remember playing these well into the night on that wood panel TV as the rest of the room dissolved around you; bonus points if you were sitting on some old shag carpet, and more bonus points if it was a really tacky color, like orange, fuchsia, or slime green. Contrary to popular belief, the '80s wasn't all big hair and hot pink Spandex with "matching" chartreuse legwarmers. As for my own choices, it's a list way too long to drop here without looking like some sort of human/bot hybrid, so my top picks would be Battle of Olympus, Castlequest, Clash at Demon Head (you could probably put every Vic Tokai game right here), Demon Sword, Mappy Land (the EXACT game I thought of), Rockin' Kats, and Tombs & Treasure.

Pretty much Nintendo's space Harrier.

My cousins grew up on some of these. Me too.

4:33 - you might want to look up dithertron :-) this can convert pictures to various graphics formats. I used it heavily for my cga pc game project

This looks like fun

Come to the Southern Fried Gaming Expo one year. They had some '30s pins last year

I’m glad to see 3D World Runner getting some love. I had it when I was growing up, and I’ve always felt like it was a solid game.

Total Recall is one of my favourite games not because its the best game but its because i have so many good memories from it 🙏🏽

This legit put several games on my map. I had never known about Wurm or Dinowarz. I would've loved Dinowarz when I was a kid.

I had some red and blue 3d glasses from a comic book, so I put them on and turned on 3D mode when I rented 3D World Runner.

Roller Games was tough but it gave me Double Dragon vibes so I kept coming back to it. Gotta be the Rockers. 😁

My uncle got me Dynowarz for Christmas one year. It was an okay game but once I finished it I didn't really feel any desire to replay it. As of 2024 I still haven't.

Just got one of these today, its awesome, just keep picking it up, the games look great on a gb micro

i remember playing "DinoWarz Destruction of Spondylus" & yelling the Robot Dinosaur shoots it's fist like my toy Godzilla! Love that game just for that reason! Also played "Bugs Bunny Birthday Blow Out" a lot too & i put that Bugs Bunny game right up there with "Felix the Cat" for the NES. i use to hate those weird double jumps growing up & to have a game like "3D Battles of World Runner" where u just hold the jump button to go extra far was genius! i like to call the "Space Harrier" games Centipede 2 as that is what the boss battles felt like when fighting them.

Silkworm looks rad! Why am I not playing it rn ?

I want a sequel of space station project. I think the concept could be explored way more.

It good to see the game over worm again…

I think I only rented a NES game once. My nephew had a NES and we rented Ikari Warriors. I did rent plenty of Mega Drive games though.

3D World runner wasone of my favorites when I was a kid! And the music is so fun. The 3D glasses that came with it do work FYI.

3d Worldrunner has the funniest pause, when the character sits down for a smoke break, and if you fall into a pit and pause, he jumps out and sits down to smoke.

I appreciate how half of this list is games I grew up with. Total Recall was one of the first games I had for NES, along with Ironsword.

A great list with the exception of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Sorry to say, but I'm gonna have to politely disagree with you on that one. The original arcade version was awesome, but the NES version was terrible! Other than that, great video!

Rollergames is great not just good! Lol
