The six playable characters are each from different eras, and the Earth-like planet where the game takes place has everything from the prehistoric age to a modern period. There's no other game on this list that has a more dedicated fan following than Earthbound , and in a strange twist of fate, it also seems to be the game nobody knows about. Localization issues made the transition of the game from Japan to the US difficult, adding to its obscurity. The rise of emulators and the resurgence of vintage consoles brought the game into the limelight in recent years.
There are few titles on this list that are still going strong with their original storylines, but this is one of them. There are literally legends that surround the creation, development, and evolution of this game through the ages , starting at the very beginning of the genre and continuing on to this day. The success of the original Final Fantasy ensured that generations of gamers would want for nothing as far as the RPG was concerned.
It was the graphics of the game that took center stage, while the grind was heavily criticized. Perhaps the more things change, the more they stay the same. It not only set the bar higher for RPG games in general but made the concept of voice acting an important feature as games moved away from text and into audio. First, the RPG gave players adventure, then it gave them graphics and game mechanics, and when Diablo arrived it brought to them the greatest gift of all; the promise of sweet, sweet loot.
Just like the best Gameboy Advance games of all time, the characters will always be remembered. Without the NES our beloved Nintendo likely would not have survived and with it likely the larger video game world, making a top twenty-five of this cornerstone of gaming all the more important.
Each of these titles could stand on its own but together they are nothing short of a tour de force that reshaped and refocused the art of gaming. Whittling it down was a challenge as many of these titles are legends in their own right. Here are the best NES games of all time! Maniac Mansion kickstarts this list of the best NES games of all time. Follow the story of a mad scientist that has lost his mind after becoming the slave of a meteor….
Players control Dave Miller, a cool cat that has to save a lovely lady named Sandy Pantz. There are so many point and click options to choose from at each stage that you can play multiple ways and experience a different game every time! Dangerous traps and nasty surprises lie in wait around every turn, so you better keep your wits about you if you want to grab the girl and leave with your head still attached!
Faxanadu joins this list of the best NES games at Number 24, more proof that Hudson Soft has never made a bad computer game. Eolis, beautiful Elven town and home to the World Tree, is destroyed by an evil force.
Daggers and wing boots, mantras and monsters; it all sounds very much like Dungeons and Dragons to me. Chat with villagers to learn secrets, trade gold for weapons, slay all manner of beasts from mammoth snakes to zombies, and use magic spells to beat back one-legged Cyclops.
Pretty much every mythological or fantasy element appears in this game. Rygar lives in Argool, and the game is set billions of years from now when dead dudes can be called back into service time and time again.
Wielding a chain on a shield and some muscles that Arnie would be proud of, Rygar jumps into action! Enemies jump out from pretty much everywhere on the screen. Rygar can supercharge Captain Planet-style by collecting different power-ups from the various levels. Boasting strong 40 Winks vibes and a cast of characters that could have jumped straight from Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Little Nemo: The Dream Master provides a cutesy storyline with epic gameplay for all ages.
Nope; just a bag of sweets. Use it to knock-out enemies and convince animals to help you on your quest as you fight to save the king! Sporting a pistol instead of an arm cannon, Mega Man returns in this classic NES title to continue his dangerous battle against Dr Wily and his army of renegade robotic soldiers. Despite the more realistic human approach to Mega Man on the front cover, this remains the most popular Mega Man game to date, successfully pushing over 1.
Gameplay is relatively similar to the first Mega Man title. Our intrepid space fighter must travel through eight stages before tackling a boss fortress at the very end. Robot sub-bosses appear at the end of each stage, with bad guys such as Wood Man who I believe is a carpenter and Flash Man who has been arrested for indecent exposure on a number of occasions trying to stop Mega Man. Critics went ape for this game with many pronouncing it as one of the greatest games ever made. Guess who bought Hyrule Historia after checking out our list of the best gaming books?
Save the scroll-along action for Mazza; we want top-down battles when Link is concerned! Despite my reasons for not liking this game as much as others, it was a rip-roaring success, and many features that appear in this game would go on to be used in other Zelda titles.
He first made an appearance in Zelda II, as did the magic meter that allows players to pull off awesome sword manoeuvres. And, most importantly of all, it would have been downright sacrilegious to leave this game out of the best NES games of all time. It would have probably released Ganondorf from the Sacred Realm or something. A sci-fi horror, Doom follows a nameless space marine as he fights back the hordes of hellspawn that have broken through to the base on Mars.
Despite not being particularly rich on the narrative front, the game boasted 3D graphics, and networked multiplayer. These days you can play Doom on pretty much anything, from a printer to an ATM machine.
The game got a reboot in that is suitably shooty and gives players a veritable arsenal to play with. Grim Fandango is a funny and heartwarming tale that follows the adventures of underworld travel agent Manny Calavera as he ushers the recently departed on their journey through the land of the dead.
With a gripping plot and devilish puzzles, LucasArts upped the ante on an already stellar title by making it the first adventure game to be rendered in 3D, bringing the vibrant Aztec-inspired art deco graphics to life.

Shabana Arif. To the Moon is one of the best recent examples, focusing on regret and hope and lost memories in reverse in an anachronistic order. No zombies. No axe-wielding psychopaths. Just the story of a man, Henry, escaping his life by taking a job watching for fires in Wyoming, and the relationship he develops with his boss, Delilah. At least, to begin with. Some of the mystery that follows is opinion-splitting material, but Campo Santo nails both the loneliness and the camaraderie of being vulnerable and isolated in even mostly-safe situations.
Even when the thriller part fades, the exquisite character piece remains. A very absorbing take on the genre. Easily the best attempt ever at conveying the feel of being a realworld spy. Meet me in Langley. Who witnesses, believes. Breezy platforming and very minimal puzzling provide the framework for a sweet, earnest, sad coming of age story set in a fading small town.
With bouncy, affected dialogue—which is sometimes too cute, but always funny and unabashedly sweet—Mae Borowski explores her hometown and reestablishes friendships after dropping out of college for reasons she won't say.
